It is England in AD 787. Brave Sir Arthur, King of the Britons is on a quest to find the Holy Grail, aided by his brave knights - Sir Gallahad, Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin - and so on. Along with this brave assemblege are a certain number of loyal Retainers who are duty bound to help their King on his journey to find the Holy Grail.
Alas, all is not well for this group has been infiltrated by the most base and despicable people in Europe - the FRENCH! How they managed to get into England before 1066 noone knows, but they are here. While there are twelve loyal Retainers, two are actually French agents who want to find the Grail for themselves, thereafter delivering it to their leige lord - Charlemagne. Every round they may decide to kill off one loyal Retainer, and they shall win the game if they reduce the number of Britons to an equal number as their own.
To help prevent the French from successfully killing off all of the Retainers, King Arthur has secretly managed to place Brother Maynard inside of his loyal Retainers unbenounced to anyone. Nightly he shall be able to determine the loyalty of one Retainer by sacred Christain ritual.
Both the French and Brother Maynard have secret weapons which they can deploy at any given time - they are as follows:
The Rabbit from the Cave of Caerbannog: Obviously in league with the devil the French have managed to bring along the dreaded Rabbit of Caerbannog, the lost sibling of the one that so dreadfully killed Sir Bors, Sir Gawain, and Sir Ector. At any time they may unleash this dreadful creature which will randomly kill between one to three people, perhaps including the French players. Releasing the Rabbit shall also reveal the identity of one French player.
The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch: A Holy Relic found by Brother Maynard. At any time after finding the identity of a French traitor, Brother Maynard can unleash the devestating power of the Holy Hand Grenade. As quoted in the Book of Armaments:
...and the Lord spake, saying, 'First thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Releasing the Holy Hand Grenade will kill the targeted Frenchman, but will also cause a random amount of collateral damage - two other players who will be randomly picked. Due to the convoluted instructions Brother Maynard will also have a small chance (20%) to count to five instead of three, thus killing himself and another randomly selected player and thus certainly dooming our British friends. Should the French manage to find and kill Brother Maynard, he has a 50% chance to use the grenard in self-defense - killing himself and one of the French assailents.

England, AD 787
King Arthur and his trusty servant Patsy have most recently travelled through the Kingdom of Mercia on their way to find the Holy Grail. Following with them is a small band of loyal retainers. Unknown to all except King Arthur and his most trusted clerical aid - Brother Maynard - this group has been infiltrated by a band of Frenchman bent on taking the Holy Grail for their sovereign lord - Charlemagne.
All have ridden hard south for many days in search of this holy artifact and though their horses are tired they continue to strive forward. Unknowing of the danger that faces them they arrive at Castle Bodium where King Arthur intends to find shelter:
Soldier: Halt! Who goes there!
Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the Castel of Camelot, King of all Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England.
While King Arthur was not able to compel these humble soldiers to join on his quest, he did however send his loyal retainers into the castle in order to fetch some supplies - namely several European swallows, some oats, and a certain portion of barley. Leaving the castle they all expected to be back with the King in short order - it therefore came as a surprise when the portcullis suddenly slammed shut when our brave party was venturing out of the castle - instantly crushing Crux. At once the party thought it but an accident, but quickly all found the Fleur-de-lis emblazoned upon the portcullis and his dead body - traitors were most certainly afoot, yet who could they be?
Our remaining players must now decide between them who they wish to execute.

Not to mention the fact that the list has twelve out of eleven players.
That's what you get for signing up fifth (no third!) er third.
Suppose you remove player number one and the remaining eleven, well, the ten living and one dead fill the eleven slots?
Or you could be the additional dead member...
