The "Mad One' plays host to an Italian delegation

A small group of Italians have arrive at Mobuto to talk to the Head Chief of the Ngoni. The Italians have been very successful in making friends with numerous sub-tribes but now they are attempting to befriend the big chief himself. But he's not called the "Mad One' for nothing. In league with his slave trading partner, Tippu Tib, they creep up on the huts (without the roofs) housing the sleeping Italians
Fortunately for the Italians (at least at first) their sentry is alert and fires a warning shot that awakens his compatriots
Sadly for the visitors and their Askaris, they are slaughtered to the last man
