You move on down the road, thinking about that strange beggar and if there could have been a better outcome to your meeting, perhaps a secret thing that you missed…
On the other hand perhaps you didn’t and you got all there was to get. After all when all is said and done a piece of blank paper from a smelly beggar is always a good start for any adventure.
You ponder this for several minutes until you are ambushed by two Frenchies. Perhaps you should have been paying more attention rather than musing about peculiar old beggars.
Anyway, you have been jumped by two Frenchies in ridiculous stripy shirts and smelling of garlic, one has a flintlock the other a rather rusty looking cutlass.
Do you:-
Draw your sword ready to fight
Draw your pistol ready to shoot
