Reputation Hero

Foreword

All the texts of the various chapters are available in this area. Both the successful and the failed.

So that - if the chapters have not yet been played through - the tension is maintained, the texts are folded for the time being.

To read, please click on "[Expand]" on the right
Chapter 1 Close on Pepes trail
An aurochs fight is being held in Hispalis in honor of Julius Caesar? Oh no, hopefully Pepe doesn’t intend to take part in the tournament as a matador! Or is he trying to play a trick on Caesar? The last time Pepe annoyed Julius, Ceaser kidnapped him straight away and brought him to Gaul. It is dreadful to imagine what could happen to him this time! Our heroes must hurry.
Success Fail
The gods are on the Gauls' side and so they arrive in Hispalis much quicker than they thought. Oh dear, the entire city is going crazy in anticipation of the famous Julius Caesar! Hopefully, our heroes will be able to find Pepe in time. Oh dear, the horse suddenly stops halfway to Hispalis and our Gauls are out of hay! Now they are stuck in the middle of nowhere, unable to go forward or backward. How are they supposed to get to Hispalis in time?
Chapter 2 Bread and games and Julius Cäsar!
All of Hispalis is in a state of frenzy. Julius Caesar himself graces them with his presence! Everyone wants to take a look at the Roman emperor and flocks to the large circus, where the aurochs fight will take place. Our heroes rush to the arena as well, hoping to find little Pepe and the nomad girl there.
Success Fail
Damn, it looks as if the whole city wants to go to the circus! The arena is already bursting at the seams, still more and more people are squeezing into it. The saleslady at the ticket counter remembers Pepe desperately trying to get into the circus, but an aurochs fight is not suited for children. So they didn't let him in, even when he threatened to hold his breath until he fainted! She hasn't seen him since. Surely Pepe smuggled himself in there! With all the hustle and bustle outside the gates of the Circus, it seems impossible that Pepe was seen by anyone. Suddenly, the Gauls notice a small, black-haired figure and follow it through the crowd. As it turns out though, it wasn't Pepe, just a stranger. Our heroes don't know what to do next. What a mess!
Chapter 3 Crafty and cunning
Time is short, the tournament is supposed to start in less than an hour! Our heroes try to get into the circus, but all seats are occupied and they are not allowed to enter. However, they come up with a great idea - they pretend to be matadors to smuggle themselves into the arena!
Success Fail
“More brave matadors? Come in!" Our Gauls are welcomed in the circus. Matadors from Egypt, Britain, Germania, and even Helvetia want to try their luck in Hispalis and assert themselves in front of Julius Caesar in the aurochs fight. A few Gauls won’t attract any attention... So far so good! Now they have to find Pepe. "Come back next time, the list is full!" It was a good idea, but the door is slammed right in our heroes' faces. No interest in more matadors. How are they supposed to get into the circus now?
Chapter 4 Where is Pepe?
Thanks to their ruse, our heroes manage to sneak into the circus, but now they need to find Pepe, who could be anywhere. Knowing his son, Huevos Y Bacon assumes that he didn't travel to Hispalis just to sit and watch the fight from the grandstand! First, the Gauls take a look into the catacombs of the circus, where the matadors are waiting for the show.
Success Fail
The Gauls encounter a colorful mixture of British gentlemen, martial Goths, deeply relaxed Corsicans, and an exceptionally tiny Norman, whose helmet seems bigger than his head ... and why is his beard so crooked? By Teutates! That's not a Norman, that's Pepe, who disguised himself! The boy fell in love with his playmate and what better way to impress a Hispanic lady than to win an aurochs fight? Oh well, Huevos Y Bacon can't be angry with his son at all. He is just like his father! The catacombs below the circus are quite dark and although the Gauls search every corner for little Pepe, they cannot find him. To make matters worse, they also lost their way. Could he be in the grandstands after all? There is no time for them to find out, as the tournament begins and they are still in the catacombs.
Chapter 5 Pepe, the Matador
¡Olé! It's getting serious! Julius Caesar declares the tournament open and the crowd goes nuts. The aurochs paws the ground and a few matadors are shaking in their boots, but there is no way back! Our heroes have to show what they're made of: Help Pepe to impress his crush and make sure that the boy is not impaled on the aurochs horns!
Success Fail
What a show our Gauls put on! The audience is cheering, the applause resounds through the circus, and Pepe's playmate can't take her eyes off him. The boy is a true son of a Hispanic chief! But someone doesn't like it at all: Caesar! The Roman emperor still remembers Huevos Y Bacon, the chief of the village, who doesn’t want to surrender. Well, the problem can certainly be solved, the circus has even more wild beasts in the catacombs. Would be laughable if Caesar couldn't get rid of this annoying Hispanic chief! Oh dear, our Gauls may know how to fight against the Romans, but no one has shown them how to deal with an aurochs. The only thing left for them is to run around in the arena to avoid getting impaled by the horns. How embarrassing! Pepe's playmate is not impressed at all.
Chapter 6 Encore! Encore!
Savage beasts begin to surround our heroes from all sides. The crowd is going wild with excitement: What a thrilling encore. Usually, gladiator fights only take place in the Colosseum in Rome! What a unique cultural spectacle, the vacation in Hispania was well worth the price! While the tourists are cheering, the Gauls have to come up with something quickly.
Success Fail
The Gauls do not shy away from Romans or wild beasts. Caesar has to come up with something better. While they are giving the first beasts a good beating, the rest of them flee back into the cages and refuse to come out again. Well, no one messes with our heroes! Exhausted by their long, adventurous journey through Hispania, the Gauls eventually lack the strength to fight another horde of wild beasts. Is this the end for our heroes?
Chapter 7 Julius Caesar's good reputation
The crowd is screaming and cheering, but Caesar is seething with rage. By Jupiter, those damned Gauls! Our heroes need to come up with something quickly to escape the circus unscathed, before the Roman emperor can send more beasts into the arena.
Success Fail
“Is the great Julius Caesar trying to sabotage the rightful winner of this Aurochs Fight? That is not good sportsmanship! Imagine the impact on Rome's reputation if this news would spread to all corners of the world." The audience agrees and they already start to boo and rant, until the Roman emperor has no choice but to let our heroes go. After all, he doesn't want to ruin his reputation! The Gauls are taking too long to think of a solution. Before they know it, they are already surrounded by a bunch of Romans who arrest them. Oh dear, what a bummer.
Chapter 8 Let's go home
"Did you see how I showed this aurochs up?" On the way back to the Hispanic steppe, the children giggle and look back on their adventures, while the Gauls and Huevos Y Bacon keep an eye out for the nomads, who are certainly already sick from all the worrying about their daughter.
Success Fail
As the sun slowly sets on the horizon, the Gauls discover the nomad camp near the river, not far from their last position. What a joy! The parents and their daughter are reunited - what better way to celebrate than to sing, dance and be merry? Our heroes party until late at night, but then it's time to leave. Poor Pepe can barely hide his tears, although he declares that something just flew in his eye! After all, the son of a Hispanic chief doesn't cry. It's getting late and the sun is already setting on the horizon, but the Gauls cannot find a trace of the nomads. Have they moved on to look after the daughter themselves? In the vast steppes of Hispania, they could be anywhere ... What a dilemma.
Chapter 9 Sneaky siege
Oh dear, what is that? A legion of Romans has gathered at the gates of Huevos Y Bacon's village! They must have heard that the Hispanic chief is not there and it seems they wanted to seize the opportunity and conquer the village once and for all. How lucky that Huevos Y Bacon has returned with Gaulish support!
Success Fail
Well, wait, you simple-minded Romans! The Hispanic warriors are proud and noble people, after all, and cannot stand devious attacks. Together with Huevos Y Bacon and the other villagers, our heroes fight back the Romans until they run away. Oh no, the Romans have superior numbers and although the villagers are helping, our Gauls fail to overpower the Roman soldiers. To make matters worse, they also captured Huevos Y Bacon! This is not how the adventure of our Gaulish heroes in Hispania is supposed to end!
Und so halfen unsere gallischen Helden Costa y Bravo, die Römer zu vertreiben. Der spanische Häuptling ist überglücklich, dass sein Sohn und das Dorf wieder gesund und munter sind. Um diesen ganz besonderen Tag zu feiern, bereitet das ganze Dorf ein Fest für die Gallier vor und Pepe kann den Dorfbewohnern die Geschichte erzählen, wie er einen mächtigen Auerochsen ganz alleine besiegt hat! Alle sind erstaunt und Costa y Bravo und die Gallier tauschen amüsiert ein Augenzwinkern aus. Vor Einbruch der Dunkelheit machten sich unsere gallischen Helden auf den Weg nach Hause. Es ist eine lange Reise und wer weiß, welche Abenteuer noch auf sie warten!
