Preface

ST: Ok ok, welcome to the tea house. I am the storyteller someone like you. Here is the story of today, called “Romance of Three Kingdom”

GO: Hey! Don’t forget me. I’m the most informed gossiper in the world. I know all the stories that no one knows about three kingdoms.

ST: The map shows 1200 years ago when the world was ruled by three evenly matched kingdoms. Each kingdom has a great leader to guide them to victory. The greater leaders are Chao Chao of Wei (魏) kingdom, Liu Bei (劉備) of Shu (蜀) kingdom, and Sun Quan (孫權) of Wu (吳) kingdom.

GO: Great leaders? Let me tell you the truth. Liu Bei (劉備)was just a vender selling straw sandals on the street. Sun Quan (孫權) who inherited the throne after his brother was killed is just a rich second generation. And, Chao Chao is the most short-tempered man that I’ve known.

ST: That’s nonsense. As the stories usually happened, we find water where the fires are; we find peace in the war, we find romance in legends, and we find facts with fabrications. Here is the thing we are going to do today, I am going to take you back into the history. So listen carefully: Three of you are going to play as a hero named

Guan Yun Chang (關雲長) at that time, Elsa as Guan (關)，Frisky as Yun (雲) Japan as Chang (長).

GO: You don’t know who he is, right? Guan Yun Chang is a brave warrior with a red face and a long black beard. With his single-edged sword, no one can be his competitor. Lucky you, huh?

ST: This journey is meant to take you to experience the history, you will learn from the people with wisdom, you will be challenged by the warrior, and you will witness the romance of the three kingdoms. During the journey, if you have any problem, you can turn to me. I’ll do my best to help you.

GO: Can we just skip the cliché opening? I can’t wait any more!

ST: (hemming) Attention! The journey is going to begin.

Scene 1: Wei Kingdom outside Chao Chao’s Tent

ST: Here is our first stop, the camp of Wei kingdom.. They say the emperor of Wei--Chao Chao--is a cunning, merciless villain; I say he is a formidable, brilliant, and determined hero of the time. I am personally one of the fans of Chao Chao, so I think his kingship is justified and deserved.

GO: Oh, come on. You don’t have to be so pretentious. Did he pay you for that? Honestly, Chao Chao that old man is just a drunk always singing weird song.

A Short Song Ballad

 I lift my drink and sing a song,
for who knows if life is short or long?
Man's life is but the morning dew,
past days many, future ones few.
The melancholy my heart begets,
comes from cares I cannot forget.;
What can unravel these woes of mine?
I know but one drink – Du Kang Wine.
Disciples dress in blue,
my heart worries for you.
You are the cause,
of this song without pause.
Across the bank a deer bleats,
in the wild where it eats.
Honored my guests I salute,
strike the harp! Play the flute!
Bright is the moon's spark,
when can I pick it apart?
Thoughts of you from deep inside,
cannot settle, cannot subside.
Friends drop by via a country road,
the respect they pay really show.
A long due reunion we fest,
sharing past stories we possessed.
Stars around the moons are few,
southward the crows flew.
Flying with no rest,
where shall they nest?
No mountain too steep,
no ocean too deep
Sage pauses [from meals] when guests call,
so at his feet the empire does fall!

GO: See. I told you~ Speak of the drunk, and he’s here now.

S: Aren’t you the great King? What is that with the long face?

CC: You know why I was called the mighty Chao Chao? It is because of my ability to recruit the best heroes in the world? But now I found it very hard even just to get one person to help me. Oh god, if someone shows up I will be like the Duke of Zhou (周公) to embrace him. Alas, mountains will not complain to be tall, ocean will not complain to be deep. (山不厭高，海不厭深) I will accept anyone that joins me.

ST: I come at the right time. I bring you three talented people. They are the trusted bothers of shu’s king. But now they are separated from their Big Brother. They come to you to surrender. You can put them in your army if you like.

CC: It is a pity to live in the time of turmoil, but if we can turn turmoil into peace, it is something worth our praise(生於亂世是為不幸，但如能變亂為治，豈非不幸中之大幸！) Now show me our new heroes, I will challenge them with some questions to see if they are suitable.

Task1: Brain Quest

(Location: Chou Chou’s tent)

CC: Okay, my new heroes, prepare to undertake my challenges. The first question is: what does it mean to visit someone three times (三顧茅廬)?

(Correct answer: you are very hard to invite)

CC: Perfect! the second question is: what do you call the heart of Sima Zhao(司馬昭之心)?

(Correct answer: Everyone knows)

CC: That is a killing spree you are making!! Two correct answers in a row. But this is still not the end. The last question is: what do you call the action of Jiang Gan stealing books? (蔣幹盜書)

(Correct answer: A tricked fool)

CC: Fantastic, you have completed all my challenges you are welcome to join me with my quest of conquering China. My first task for you is to move to the sea side to search someone.

Task2: Treasure Hunt

( Location: The river side )

CL: Our enemy is right along the river. Ah…our great leader, Chao Chao, is my savior, it was him that taught me how to become a respectful man. My achievement should be contribute to him. So, now it my chance to show my appreciation, and to help him win this war! Although we have less soldiers than Yuan Shao’s. There is still a strategy to beat them down!

ST: Sir, we take these new soldiers to help you. (point them)

CL: Great! I need you now. You must accept a crucial mission, Guan Yun Chang

(G: What’s the plan, sir?)

CL: You have to secretly steal in Yuan’s barrack where they store all food in a barn.

ST: Should we steal their food?

(G: or eat their food?)

CL: Neither, your mission is to beat the soldier who guards the barn. After you strike him, I will bring our troop to burn out the barn. If they lack food, their power will gradually decrease. It is the proper way for our unpleasant situation.

ST: What’s a smart plan! CL: Yes, but before you enter Yuan’s camp. I need you to find out three things and take them to me. Pay attention, the first one can help me see farer and clearer (glasses); the second one help me attack the enemy (sword); and the last one protect me from harm (helmet). Do you have questions, Guan Yun Chang? Then, take these thing to me! (finish the task)

CL: do well! My fellow. Now, along the river do you see a woody house. That’s the barn! Go to beat the guardian, and I will follow you.

Task3: Guessing which buttons 

(Location: Barn)

Here you are. Come fight with me. My name is Nobody. I guard this barn. If you want to beat me you must win the game. This game is a quiz. After I do a string of gestures, you need to figure out which buttons did I press to do those gestures. Okay? So now I am going to introduce all gestures to you. So you can know which button can do which gesture. Please look at your key board. On the top can you see F1~F12? Please press F2. As you can see, your roles will clap their hands. Then press F4. Your roles will wave. Press F8, they will laugh. Press F9. Press F11. Press 12. So these are movements the roles can do. Any question? Okay, now I am going to do six movements in a row. You have to guess which buttons I press. Your answer should be exact order as what I do. Okay? You only have three chances. Can everyone understand? Let’s start.

After they win…

Yes. You have the correct answer!

You beat me. You may go to next kingdom.

(Guides take them to the next kingdom.)

Scene 2: Shu Kingdom under the white cherry blossom tree

ST: According to the written history, Guan Yun Chang found he missed his Big Brother in Shu kingdom after serves a while for Cao Cao. So he asks to leave from Wei back to Shu.

GO: What a loyal man! What a lovely story! A man conquered all the difficulties just for gathering with his big brother. My tears almost burst out!

ST: So now, here is our next stop, Shu. Guan Yun Chang need to go though more challenges to testify his loyalty toward his Big Brother Liu Bei (劉備). Guan Yun Chang will be stopped by his old battle companions on his way to see Liu Bei. So you three need to be prepared for the challenges and questions.

GO: Let me remind you that I’m the most informed man in the world, so if you have questions, just ask me! Haha

Task 4: Building Common Grounds

CF: Ha hahaha, is this my big brother Guan Yun Chang? You silly old fool, how dare you coming to my gate after surrendering Wei？ Do you think that I am going to let you pass with a fight? Come, beat me with my game so that I can see if you are really loyal to us. Here is the picture of me, you and our big brother Liu Bei.It reminds me of our gathering under the pink cherry blossom tree. Now it turns white. Look at the picture and find three things we have in common. Type out in Roman spelling, show me that our memory still bound in you!

Task 5: Jumping over the peg

KM: Hey, long time no see, Yun Chang. Is your travel though? Do you face a lot of difficulties? In order to help my master finish all the challenge, I am always stuck in different kind of barriers.  Just like these pegs on the board. I need to overcome all the obstacles and make my master succeed. Can you show your wisdom by playing this chess game?  And you have to jump over the pegs just as I overcome the difficulties in my life. In order to finish this game you need to have enough intelligence and wisdom. So, are you ready?  Let's start the game. 

KM: OK,the goal of this game is to remove pegs from the board by jumping over each peg with another peg; this removes the "jumped" peg. Click and drag with the mouse to move a peg. Only horizontal and vertical jumps are allowed. The game is over when no more jumps are possible. You win the game by removing all the pegs except one from the board. A perfect game would leave one peg in the center position.

Task 6: Big Brother’s Sandals

LB: Yun Chang, is that you? I have been believing that you would come back to my side once again. Now you are…… Wait a minute. How do I know you are my brother, Yun Chang? Maybe you are just an assassin of Chao Chao who disguises as him!! Hmmmm…. If you want me to trust you, you have to play a game and clear it because Yun Chang is very smart!! I would say a sentence to describe the prices and colors of straw sandals, and you have to put the objects that symbolize the straw sandals in different colors and prices into logical order. Only by completing the game can you show me you are really Yun Chang. Let the game begins!

 

Then I will explain how to play this game. I will say two Chinese sentences which describe the colors and prices of the two sandals. You have to move these objects to which three sandals are attached into a logical order from left to right. Left cheaper, right more expensive.



Scene 3: Wu Kingdom in the forbidden forest

GO: Congratulations! You finally passed all the challenges and questions! Is this the end of the journey?

ST: Of course not! I’m going to take you to see the most beautiful woman in the three kingdoms. If you have never seen that woman, don’t tell people that you’ve visited the three kingdoms!

G: Are you kidding? The most beautiful woman in the three kingdoms! What? You say that you want to see her? Okay! Fine! Let’s see whether she is more beautiful than me!

Task 7: Getting a Clue

ZY：吼( in a monster outfit)

NH：Hah now you know what's the result of intruding my place! 

ZY：You! Tell me how to get rid of this monster-like appearance!

NH：I won't tell you anything!

LC：I will burn up your treasured diary into ashes if you don't tell us. (with a torch in her hand)

NH：Hey, easy, easy! You don't have to act like that okay? Come here! (Lead them to the site where the board shows a picture like a sheet of a diary book) If you want Zhou Yu (周瑜) to retransform into human, you can find a clue in this diary! It contains the name of my favorite chocolate and the hints following it. Good luck.

LC: Could you do me a favor, Guan Yun Chang?
My handsome husband Zhou Yu (周瑜) intruded in a forbidden forest and was transformed into a monster!  Please help me solve the Nightmare Hottie’s clue to find him!

NH: Yes, you can't. So, Zhou Yu, when will you marry me? 

ZY: I won't marry you! Little Chao is my sublime and only love.

NH: Then, why don't you propose to her?

ZY: I will, but I need some help.

NH: Guess no one would marry to an ugly animal. If there's one, I will retransform you into human!
