Marcus Didius Falco/Funny

• In Saturnalia, Falco has to track down an important prisoner that no-one must know has escaped from custody. His rival Anacrites kidnaps Falco's brother-in-law to use as bait, since they are the only two people who really know what the fugitive looks like. Anacrites holds Justinus at his mansion, and after visiting him, his family are content to send him reading matter and let him wait it out there. Then, Falco, whilst attending the vigiles' Saturnalia party (which includes two guests dressed as a carrot and a turnip), hears that some of the fugitive's countrymen also know of the connection between Justinius and the fugitive, and decide to kidnap him again. So Falco and Petro go to Anacrites' mansion first with a handful of vigiles, set fire to some garden waste, and force their way in under the pretext of their official duty as firefighters. The entire place ends up on fire, with many valuable ornaments removed permanently by the vigiles, Justinus is rescued, and Anacrites' major domo has the situation explained to him by a vigile dressed as a carrot, who Anacrites orders the arrest of as soon as he hears. Naturally the vigiles have no idea who he's talking about, so Anacrites heads to the vigiles' party with a squad to search for Falco and Justinius. The vigiles swear Falco and Petro haven't left all evening, and Anacrites leaves when a man dressed as a turnip keeps drunkenly barging into him. Falco and Petro then take the turnip back to Falco's old apartment, where it's revealed that it's Justinius now in the turnip costume.
• While this may be YMMV, the scene in Last Act In Palmyra where the players bump into some Christians, get preached to and end up beating them up and running for their lives (and souls) made this troper laugh.
