Chapter 1	Incognito
Together with Anticlimax and Funfax, the Gauls cheerfully set off to the rebellious British village, but the streets are teeming with Romans!What a lucky coincidence that today is a bladder ball game for the tribal crown! With a bit of luck, our heroes can mingle with the crowd of enthusiastic fans to avoid being recognized on their way.
Success	Fail
Amid the cheering and celebrating fans, the Gauls don't get noticed at all and arrive at the stadium unseen.Enthusiastically, Anticlimax and Funfax had explained the rules of the bladder ball game and now they seem a little sad that they don't get to watch the game. But time is of the essence and they need to reach their village as quickly as possible.	Oh no, this time our Gauls weren't lucky at all! Halfway towards the stadium, the Romans stop the jolly crowd to check for Gauls. They discover our heroes and pick them out one by one. What a dilemma!
Chapter 2	Oh dear, Anticlimax has disappeared... Again!
After arriving at the stadium undiscovered, the Gauls want to continue their way to the rebellious village, but oh dear, Anticlimax has disappeared again! Where did he go?
Success	Fail
The Gauls frantically look around for Anticlimaxl and spot him at the last moment, getting dragged into the stadium! Oh dear, they had only lost sight of him for a second! Now they must hurry after their jolly friend.	By Toutatis, our Gauls can't find Anticlimax anywhere, it's just like he vanished off the face of the earth!What should they do now? They were already so close to his village!
Chapter 3	Roundabout ways
When trying to follow Anticlimax into the stadium, the Gauls get stopped at the ticket counter because there are no more seats available. Oh dear, how should they get in now?They quickly need to come up with something before they lose Anticlimax entirely!
Success	Fail
After the doorman in front of the players' entrance doesn't want to let our Gauls pass either, they gather behind the stadium and give each other a leg-up to climb onto the stands unseen. Now they have to find Anticlimax again!	Well, that didn't work. After an unsuccessful attempt to slip into the stadium through the player entrance, our heroes get chased away by the doorman. The Britons really make sure that no one watches a bladder ball game without having purchased a ticket.
Chapter 4	Run as fast as you can
After successfully sneaking into the stadium, the Gauls keep an eye out for Anticlimax. There! He's right on the edge of the field, held by some strange looking fellas. Hurry up now! Our heroes have to free him and make a quick getaway out of the stadium.
Success	Fail
In an unobserved moment, the Gauls grab Anticlimax, tear him loose and run off as fast as they can, right across the field. Avoiding the many players running left and right is not that easy, but our heroes zig-zag their way through the mob unscathed.	Oh dear, our Gauls didn't reckon with the big, bulky players! They don't like to see fans whizzing across the field. The players immediately bear down on our heroes and they can't reach Anticlimax anymore.
Chapter 5	Romans in disguise
Jeez, not that as well! As if the big, bulky players weren't enough, Romans in disguise jump onto the field and start approaching the Gauls.Can our heroes take on both groups at the same time?
Success	Fail
Boom! Paff! Bang! The Romans fly in all directions as if they had been hit by a cannonball. Once our Gauls are at full speed, no one can stop them.They reach the end of the field and escape the stadium together with Anticlimax unharmed.	The Gauls are already having a hard time with the players, but when the Romans start to get involved, they have to admit their defeat. They just can't take on so many people at once. What a dilemma!
Chapter 6	Evade or capsize
Our Gauls make it out of the stadium unscathed and are now heading to Anticlimax's and Funfax's village. To reach it, they still have to cross a wide river. But careful! The Roman galleys with their dangerous catapults are already waiting for them.Oh dear, can they evade the missiles?
Success	Fail
Left, right, left, right! The Roman galleys desperately try to hit the Gauls with their catapults, but they evade the missiles with ease and make it to the other riverbank safely.Seems like the Romans still have to work on their aiming skills!	At first, it's looking good for the Gauls as they are getting closer and closer to the other riverbank. Unfortunately, in the last second they get hit by one of the missiles, destroying their boat. They barely make it out of the water, but a bunch of Romans is already waiting for them...
Chapter 7	Stubborn siege
After arriving on the riverbank safe and dry, our heroes can already make out the rebel village in the distance, besieged by the Romans. Oh dear, oh dear, Anticlimax and Funfax are shocked to discover that the number of soldiers has tripled since the last time!Hopefully, they can make their way through the ranks of enemies unscathed!
Success	Fail
Oh yes, Romans besieging a village that simply doesn't want to stop resisting... Our Gauls feel at home right away! Highly motivated, they fight their way through the Roman cohorts and finally slip through the gate into the village, where they are happily greeted by the villagers. They bravely withstood the Roman attacks, but now they are at their limits. The reinforcement is well appreciated.	The long and exhausting journey through Britain has taken its toll as the Gauls fight their way through the vast number of cohorts in front of Anticlimax's village. Just as they are about to slip through the village gates, they get caught and dragged away. A disaster!
Chapter 8	Repair work
When our Gauls, Anticlimax, and Funfax arrive in the village, they are shocked to find the fortifications of the village severely damaged, no longer capable to withstand the attacks of the Romans.Our heroes can certainly help out with their craftsmanship!
Success	Fail
A couple of nails here, a couple of boards there, and the palisades look as good as new! In a joint effort, the Gauls repair the fortifications around the village, so that they will be able to withstand numerous Roman attacks in the future!Well, that should be celebrated with a hot sip of tea!	The Gauls are just about to start repairing the fortifications when the Romans break through the gate with a battering ram and storm the village!Before even one villager can grab their weapon, the Romans already seized it.
Chapter 9	Time for a good beating!
Now it's time to chase away these Romans! The whole village is extremely excited to fight alongside gaulish heroes again!Neat and well-mannered, as the Britons are, they wait in line in front of the tea cauldron and everyone gets a generous cup full of hot tea! Some of them with a spot of milk even!
Success	Fail
Let's go! Every villager, including our Gaulish heroes, takes a big sip of tea. Together they charge the bewildered Romans, who don't even understand what's happening to them!Romans fly away in all directions, it's raining helmets and sandals! What a joy!	Oh no, with all the excitement about Anticlimax safe return, someone bumps into the tea cauldron and all of its content spills onto the floor. What a mess! In the heat of the moment some Britons slip on the floor resulting in even more people loosing their balance including our Gauls. Now it's an easy piece of cake for the Romans to capture them...
And so our gaulish heroes made new friends in Britain, saved Anticlimax and chased away the Romans once more. Since Anticlimax safely returned to his home village, the confidence and optimism of the other residents got restored and now they're giving the Romans a hard time again! Our Gauls are always happy to help if they are needed again, but the next time they will bring some roasted boar with them for sure...
