Guy tells Rickman that he’s heard Rickman was doing some “house cleaning”. Guys tell Rickman he can’t go around burring down people’s house in plain sight.

Hood exclaims that he will never respect a man who acts like a child and starts to bring up Rickman’s Father again. At that moment, Rickman pulls dagger from his sleeve and stabs James Hood under the ribs. Thomas jumps up screaming and lunges for Rickman.

Robert decides that they should go and see his friend John Little. Robert and Thomas make their way to The Little Inn to find John Little. As the heroes approach the inn, they witness a very large man carrying out a very drunk man who is cursing and yelling for the giant to put him down. The giant put the man down and the man fall to the ground. The giant tells the man he has to go home or at least he can’t come back in the tavern. The man gets up and tells the giant even if he wanted another drink, he wouldn’t come back in that shit tavern. The giant laughs and says “goodnight Peter, tell Molly I said hello”. The drunk man turns and walks away grumbling. The Giant calls out “ill see you tomorrow”. Robert now standing behind the giant crosses his arms. “so this is how customers are treated at this establishment”? The giant becomes as still as a statue for a moment and then slowly turns around to face Robert. “You dare show your face around here” said the Giant. Tomas looks at both men not sure of what is happening. Robert tries to make himself appear bigger and more intimidating. Looking the Giant is the eyes I don’t recall being told I was ban from the Inn. The Giant began to smile then laughed. “if I ever bard you from then Inn you know Tess would never forgive me. Robert began to laugh as well and the two men hugged each other. “it’s good to see you Little John and you’re right, Tess would have your head for banning me”. The giant laughed again “she’s my wife but I think she like you more than me”. Robert introduces Thomas and John to each other and the three men enter the Inn. Jon listens to the two men’s story about Rickman. John tells the hero’s that he has heard similar stories from people in the Tavern. John says the heroes should head towards Sheffield to the Sherwood Forest to look for his cousin Arthur Bland near Sheffield who is an outlaw because of poaching the King’s deer.

16.

Heroes continue on towards Sheffield, during the journey they come across a young boy David Doncaster who seems to appear out of nowhere. David asks the Heroes questions and seems to be curious about where they are going. David walks along with the heroes when he grabs Robert’s purse and runs off into the woods. Heroes chase after David but don’t catch him. It’s as if he disappears.

17.

The Heroes arrive in Sheffield and make their way to the Bearded Lass Tavern. The Heroes go to the tavern to see if they can find out if anyone knows how to find the outlaws who live in the forest. After a few hours the Heroes find someone who will take them outlaws for a price. The heroes and guide agree that the heroes will pay some of the fee now and the rest to the guide once he has brought them to The Outlaws. The heroes get up to leave just as a fight breaks out in the tavern. Alan Dale a wandering minstrel was singing songs about the patrons in the tavern. One of the more tough looking men in the tavern is not a fan of the song Alan has made up for him and is trying to cut out Alan’s tongue. Without realizing it the Heroes save Alan and leave the tavern looking for a place to stay for the night. Alan who thinks that the Heroes knew what they had done chase after the Heroes to thank them. Alan believing that he was going to die pledges his life to the Heroes that he will not leave them until he has saved one of them. The Heroes not knowing they saved Alan don’t believe that this vow is necessary and don’t want someone fallowing them. Alan is persistent and will not let the Heroes changes his mind. Finally, the Heroes agree and the three go looking for a place to stay for the night.

18.

The next morning the now group of three meets with their guide and head south towards Sherwood. During the walk the Heroes discuss how they will pay the guide. They discuss how the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Robert brings up the idea that they should be robbing the rich and giving what they steal to the poor. As the Heroes continue a man and two young ladies ride up from the opposite direction and cross paths with the Heroes on the road. The man stops his horse and asks the Heroes how much farther it is to Sheffield. The Heroes tell the man that it’s not far to Sheffield about an hour walk from here. The man and two ladies are well dressed and have very nice horses. The man is very rude to the Heroes and looks down on them from his horse. The two young ladies don’t act the same as the old man and seems to think that the Heroes are cute. The old man starts to belittle the guide about being poor and dressed in “rags”. In one quick motion Robert grabs his bow and arrow and shoots the man’s hat off his head and notches another arrow. Robert then tells the old man to give up their horses and money. Heroes each grab a horse and Alan and Guide share one. Heroes apologize to the women turn to ride away. Alan flirts with the women as the guide starts to ride away and the women ignore him as they watch the Heroes ride away.

The group rides up next to the wagon and Tuck appears to be drunk and talking to himself. Thomas asks Tuck if he needs help. Tuck looks up not realizing the group was there. Tuck says he does need help, he needs more wine. The Heroes tell Tuck that they have no wine. Tuck replies, what good are they. Alan says something about Tuck being a drunk when in a second Tuck had jumped off the wagon and tackled Alan off the horse. Tuck grabs Alan in a “submission” hold and laughs about being a drunken old man. Alan cries out for help and Tuck just laughs more saying he can take on all of them. Robert tells Thomas to help Alan. Thomas says he’s not doing it. Robert gets off his and takes off some of his gear while Alan tries to get away from Tuck. Tuck now has his back to Robert and Robert grabs onto the back of Tuck. The three continue to wrestle until all three are tired. Laying in a pile the group introduces each other. Tuck tells the Heroes he is wandering the land helping where he can and sometimes preaching the word of god. Robert tells Tuck that where they are going, they could use a man with his talents. Thomas asks what happened to Tucks’ horse. Tuck says he remembered driving the wagon, then waking up off the road and his horse gone. The group decides to hook up two of their horses to the wagon and continue south.

Gisbourne yelling angrily turns around to see who threw the apple at him. As he turns to see that no one is there Marian turns and disappears into the crowd. Gisbourne seeing no one there is confused and turns back to nothing. Still angry Gisbourne takes out his sword and destroys “something”. Marian and Elaine laugh as they walk away escaping Gisbourne. At that moment, a young boy runs up to the two ladies and hands Marian a letter. “This letter is from a friend” the boy said and turned and ran back into the crowd from which he had just appeared. Marian turns the letter to look at the seal and quickly put the letter into her dress and tells Elaine that they have to return to Marian’s home at once.

22.

The heroes are ridding down the road when a strange cry comes through the trees. The horses become nervous and the heroes now alert scan the trees. The guide calls out with a similar cry. At this point a group of men come out of the trees seemingly from nowhere. One of the men recognizing the guide asks “who are these boys he’s brought.” Before the guide can speak Robin calls out declaring himself and Thomas. Alan adds that he is there also present and is a talented bard. Thomas, Robin and the man from the raider all tell Alan to shut up at the same time. Robin continues explaining that they are looking for Arthur Bland. The man asks why they want to find Bland. Robin says that his best friend is John Little. A second man steps up and sneers “john Little”?? “You don’t know John Little. Robin says that once when John was a child, he broke his crib from being so big. The second man laughs and looks to the first man and tell him laughing “he knows little john. The leader of the group nods and signaled for the men to stand down. The men to lower the weapons as the two men walk up the heroes. The first man says the he is John Snow and he is the leader of the Wolf Heads. The second man says that he is Arthur Bland and why have they come looking for him. Robin looks to Thomas and nods. Thomas explains about his father and Rickman. Arthur tells the heroes that if his story is true that they have a place with the wolf heads.

23.

The two groups joined together and have made their way to the outlaw’s safe haven deep in the woods of Sherwood Forest. The dense trees open into a large man-made clearing with a tiny village amongst the trees. A large tree stands at the middle of the Village. The tree is much larger than the other around it.

24.

After a few weeks Robert, Thomas, Alan and Tuck settle in to a routine and begin to feel at home in the woods. Robert, Thomas and Jon Kang are out on a hunt for deer the group splits up to herd the deer. Kang is captured by six of Rickman’s men and is about to be executed. Right before Rickman’s man swings his sword to kill Kang an arrow flies through the air and buries itself halfway into the chest. Two more men fall from arrows as Thomas kills one with his sword. Kang jumps up and tackles one to the men and wrestles his weapon away from him killing the guard. The last guard is captured and Robert tells the man that The King’s deer are for every man and to tell Rickman the Wolf’s heads of Sherwood Forest own this land now and everyone is free to hunt on it.

25.

On their way back from hunting the group crosses paths with a Noble man and his guards. The Noble is brining gold and other forms of gratitude to Rickman. Robert and his friends decide that they should Sanders the shit out the tribute and redistribute the wealth. Thomas is the one who comes up with the idea that they should be hijacking rich people and give it to the poor. They are hunting deer to help the poor who can’t hunt or afford food, why not hunt money. Robert and Thomas do this for weeks. Even when more and more solders are being used to guard the money, Robert and the outlaws keep stealing the money and telling the guards to let Rickman know who was stealing his riches and that they give it to the poor.

26.

Robert and the wolf heads continue to harass Rickman’s patrols. The group use guerilla tactics to ambush the solders and disarming them sending them men back on foot and with “the same message” for Rickman.

Rickman and guy Gisborne are sitting at a table in the great hall eating. Richard Lee walks over to the table and explains what he has learned over the past few days. He hears two names Hood and Robin. Richard is not sure if that is two ppl or one. Richard says that the outlaws have stollen another shipment of goods and money. He says from what he has heard what is being stolen is being given to the people and that it didn’t sound like the outlaws were keeping most of it. Richard says at least they aren’t keeping it and are trying to do good Rickman is furious not only is he losing money but he looks foolish not being able to stop the raids. Rickman dismisses Richard. The two me discuss who is the leader of this group. Robin Hood??? Guy and Rickman decide to make an example of the villagers who take charity of Robin Hood.

27.

Robert, Thomas and Tuck are in a village bringing food and money to the poor. During this Robert and Marian cross paths, he thinks she is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Robert introduces himself as the outlaw Robert Locksley. As they are walking Marian seems bored and says that she has never heard of him. Robert tries again to impress Marian smiles but she rejects him and walks off. Robert continues on, some of the older women call him Robin as they thank him and him saying he hates it. The group turns to see a mother and her daughter being harassed. A few of Rickman’s men are interested in the young girl. The mother spits in the eye of one of the men. This is what happens to ppl who take charity from the outlaws. The solders say they are going to rape the young girl and kill the mother. but not before she watches her daughter’s rape. Richard Lee tries to stop the men but they won’t listen. He rides off to tell Rickman. The men continue. At that moment, they her a war cry from behind them. Tuck explodes and charges through Robin and Thomas; sword held high seemingly coming from nowhere and slays every one of the men. As Tuck is fighting, he cries while seeing flashbacks from battles as a crusader. Part of his vision is of parts of his past showing how good he is with a sword. As the last man falls, Robin and Thomas run up to Tuck and say that they should escape. Tuck replaces the sword under his robes, where he has always kept it. The Heroes and Tuck clear the walls of “the village” and run to their horses they have tied up in the tree line. The group rides off their hideout.

28.

Richard confronts Rickman about his and his men’s actions. He tells Rickman that what his men are doing is wrong and something should be done about it. Rickman tells Richard that he has no problem whit what his men are doing. Rickman tells Richard to keep his mouth shut or that if he doesn’t like it, he can quit be a guard captain. Richard looks at Rickman and without saying anything, turns and leaves the room.

29.

The Heroes and The Men sit around the fire. Thomas looks to robin who nods back. Thomas asks Tuck about what happen that day. After a long pause Tuck tells the tale of who he was and who he is now. He regrets killing, even if it saved lives. That night Robert tries to convince the outlaws that they are going to get into the castle and steal all of the money and food Rickman has been hording. Thomas tries to convince Robert that taking the castle is a bad idea. Someone says how hard it will be to enter the castle undetected and they don’t know where the money is kept. From behind some of the group surrounding the fire a voice says “I do.” The men standing in front of him and the fire light illuminates Richard Lee. Thomas tells two of the outlaws to grab Richard and bring him over to the fire. Robert looks to one of the men close to I’m and tells him to gather some men and send out a patrol to look for more of Rickman’s men. The man says to Robert that they have centuries posted around the camp. Robert looks at Richard and then back to the man. The outlaw looks at Richard and then back to Robert and say he will gather the men. Richard then explains why he is there and how he can help the outlaws deal with Rickman. The group of outlaws all seem to believe Richard and they plan for the assault on the castle.

29b.

The next night the outlaws climb over the wall to the castle. A smaller group sneaks into the castle while the rest wait outside to subdue the guards. Robert splits from the group saying he want to find Rickman s rooms and see what he has there. Rickman see that his door is open and quietly enter his rooms. Inside his room Robert is holding a candle stick look through drawers and anything he thinks might have gold or silver. The door then creeks just enough that Robert hears it and pauses. Rickman asks “so are you Robin Hood?” Robert keeping his back to Rickman “Robin Hood?” Robert repeats. “you are the man responsible for all the hijacking of my tributes?” Rickman turns and shouts out his door way for the guards. Robert says to Rickman “you don’t back a wolf into a corner and not expect to be bitten.” Robert then drops the candle and run and jumps trough the window. Rickman runs to the window just in time to see Robert land in a hay pile. The guards enter the room at a run and Rickman yell at them to get out side and capture anyone they think is a outlaw.

29c.

Six outlaws stand in a line tied together with their hands bound. The men look beaten and bloody. Rickman asks the captives who their leader is. The men remain silent. Rickman nods to one of his men and the solder pull out his sword and kills one of the men. Rickman asks again. The men stay silent. Rickman Turns and starts to walk away and says kill them. Rickman walks two more paces then from behind him Mitch’s voice says “I’ll show you where to find him.” Rickman turns around as Mitch says “you can’t kill the others.” Rickman ask why Mitch would give up his leader. Mitch tells Rickman that he wants to save his friends but he hates him. Rickman tells his men to lock up the men for now. He wants Mitch to prove it before he decides what to do with the men.

29D.

Rickman sits at his desk with Mitch standing in front of him. Rickman ask again why he should trust Mitch. Mitch goes into more detail about how Robert let Mitch get caught and that why he’s there. Robert is a show off and too full of himself. Mitch says he will take two of Rickman’s men and show them where the outlaws live. Mitch asks that Rickman release the him and his friends. Rickman says that mitch will take three men with him and promises that he will release the men when mitch gets back. Rickman calls for a guard to take mitch away. Gisbourne waits for mitch to leave and asks Rickman if he trusts Mitch. Rickman says “what’s he going to do to the guards, tell the men to keep his hands tied. if he leads us to the outlaws who cares if I believe him.

29E.

30.

Rickman and Gisbourne come up with a plan to hold a skills tournament under the guise of Rickman’s birthday at and around the castle to catch The Heros and possibly some of the other outlaws. They know that if they set the prize money high enough the heroes are sure to come. The winners of each competition will be the guest of honor at banquet hosted by Rickman with all the lords from the lands. At that point they will arrest Robert and Devitt will reveal himself to the people of “his” new kingdom.

31.

Robert and the wolf’s heads are in a village redistributing the wealth when they see a Mondo poster advertising the upcoming tournament. Thomas notices the prize money and comments as it being extremely high for a spring festival. Tuck says it’s probably a trap to lure them out of the woods. Roberts says even if it is a trap only a few of f’s men actually know what they look like. Robert says that as long as he doesn’t compete Thomas should be fine and if anything happens, he can get help.

32.

Robert, Thomas, Tuck, Alan and Arthur and a few other wolves’ heads stand on a hill looking down on the festival and competition grounds. They discuss if they really want to do this. “We are walking into the lion’s den.” Robin says the guards are stupid. They will wait for a large group to walk in with.

33.

The group passes through the gates thinking they have outsmarted the guards. Not knowing the guards were ordered to not stop anyone. The group continues deeper into the festival never knowing they are literally walking into a trap. As the group talks, they pass by vendors and people all having a good time. Robert Signs in for Archery under a false name and pays the entry fee.

34.

Tuck is the only one concerned that they seem to be going unnoticed by any of the guards or soldiers and has a bad feeling. Robert says not only will he win but he’s going to put on a show. The group tells him that’s a bad idea. Don’t draw attention Tuck says. It’s bad enough they are doing this in the first place.

35.

By late afternoon most of the festival goers had gathered around the archery range for the competition. Along one side of the field is a grandstand with Rickman, guy Gisborne, Devitt and nobles. Robert stands with the other archers waiting for the start of the tournament. Tuck and the rest of the group stand in the crowed. Marian is standing in the crowd after refusing Gisborne’s invite to sit with him on the grandstand. Rickman stand up from his seat and speaks to the crowd saying how well the festival had gone and that this contest should be very enlighten. Tuck is the only one who thinks that choice of word to be concerning. Robert wins the competition but not before acting like he doesn’t know how to use a bow and arrow.

36.

Rickman Stands and addresses the crowd asking for all the winners to come up onto the grandstand. Robert makes his way onto the grandstand with the winner of the joust competition “Desdichado”. Rickman congratulates all the competitors and insists that they all attended a feast in their honor and receive their prize money. Rickman tells the crowd to enjoy the rest of the festivities. Leading the group towards the stairs and in the direction of the castle, Rickman believes he has Robert.

37.

Robert and the group continue walking discussing their option for dealing with this feast. Thomas and them men agree, Robert should not go to the feast. Robert says that he wants that prize money; believing Rickman doesn’t know it’s him. Alan agrees to go with Robert a song will have to have to be written about this. Tuck tells the both of them that they are stupid to think the sheriff doesn’t know who they are but Alan should still go... Thomas tells Robert this is the dumbest thing he has done so far and he needs to leave with them. The money is not worth being captured. Robert tells them not to worry he will be fine… he has Alan with him. Thomas and Tuck turn and head for the exit back to their stashed horses.

Now at the feast Robert and Alan are having a good time. During the dinner one of the lords asks Rickman what he’s going to do about the outlaws in the forest. Robert chimes in and also begins to ask why Rickman can’t catch the Wolf Heads. Robert can’t help but tell a story he has “heard” about the Wolf Heads. Robert says something in passing that only the Sherriff picks up on and realizes that the “old man” sitting next to him is the outlaw, Robert Locksley. The Sherriff is barely able to contain his anger that Robert would have the audacity to come to the feast and sit with him at his table. Rickman signals to Gisbourne and whispers in his ear, Gisbourne signals his men to surround Rickman’s table. He sheriff stands up and says to the dinner guests “you wanted something done about the outlaws well here you are.” The soldiers surrounding the table grab Robert and lift him out of his seat. Rickman walks over and removes Robert’s disguise. Rickman looks back at his guests and says “you see I have done something here stand before one of the leaders of the outlaws.”

Gisbourne and his men drag Robin off to Rickman to the castle dungeon. Devitt sits at a table reading from a large old looking book. The guards force Robin to sit across from Devitt and Rickman walks and stands behind Devitt. Devitt continues to read as Robin looks around the room and then back to Devitt. Devitt looks and closes the book. Devitt tries to convince Robin that he isn’t a bad man and he would be a better king then your “crusading King”. Devitt wants robin to tell him how to find the Outlaws of Sherwood.

In the course of escaping Robert is pinned down and is about to be killed. John Little comes running and tackles/hits the two men about to kill Robert. John turns to pick up Robert saying he still doesn’t like fighting but he couldn’t let Robert be killed. At that moment one of the guards that had just been knocked down runs his sword through the back of john sticking out his chest. Robert cries out and picks up a sword from off the ground and fights and kills the two guards.

Devitt sits on The King’s throne in the middle of the throne room. Robert, Thomas, Alan and Marian kneel in front of the throne with their arms tied behind their backs. Devitt gets up and stands in front of the prisoners. Rickman and Gisbourne stand to the side looking pleased with themselves, Devitt tells the group that they are all there for their own reason and goes through each pointing out their failures. Devitt walks around the group talking and returns to stand in front. “Now you must die” Devitt raises his arms palms up as magical fire burst from is hands. At that moment Marian using magic to release her binds and stand to release a burst of magic at Devitt. Devitt blocks the attack and counter attacks throwing Marian against the inner castle wall. Devitt turns back at prisoners. “Who’s nxt?” In a flash two figures appear from nowhere, one a young man in armor and an older man in robes. The man in the robes yells stop seeming to come from all around. Devitt raises his arms towards the robed man but faster than seemingly possible the old man raises his and blasts Devitt with blue light stunning him. The Knight lunging forward with his sword radiating light runs Devitt through. Devitt falls dead. The old man rushes over to help Marian as the Knight cuts the binds of the prisoners. Robert and the rest bow kneel down bowing their heads in front of their King. The King tells the group to rise almost embarrassed. Marian wakes up and looks into the face of the old man. “Merlin?” Merlin smiles and says hello, “I told you would be danger.” Merlin helps Marian get back to her feet. Marian looks to the Knight and bows “King Arthur, I must thank you for my life.” Arthur says to thank herself, it was her letter that informed Merlin and himself to what was happening.

** while at the tournament feast Robert says something in passing that only the Sherriff picks up on and realizes that the “old man” sitting next to him is the outlaw Robert Locksley. The Sherriff is barely able to contain his anger that Robert would have the audacity to come to the feast and sit with him at his table.

The kid who appears out of the woods before the heros meet the outlaws, is like yoda the unassuming chrictor who does more then you think he can.

In a dungeon like fortress Devitt is stands at an alter with he’s eyes closed and murmuring an incantation. He looks older, smaller and feebler then he was at Hood’s home. Above the alter a smoking swirling mass begins to emerge from thin air. It swirls around as if sentient and aware. Devitt raises his hands, outstretched to his sides. The cloud gets bigger and brighter then reaches out towards Devitt hands. Devitt absorb the cloud and for a moment the colors emits from Devitt’s body. Devitt now looks bigger and stronger and younger, even more so than before.
