We had a little game tonight, myself, Malamute, Eric of the shed and the good Dr of Death
Two sides and four 'factions'. The Sheriff of Nottingham (hooray!), Guy of Guisbourne (hooray!), Little John (booo!) and Robin himself (BOOO!).
A small board was used, only 4x4, but it proved ample. Rules were modified Sharp Practise (we like these don't we Nick
).
All was quite in the sleepy hamlet of Worksop
But trouble was brewing in the castle of Nottingham
Marian was in the home of her vile foster farther, Max of Clifford waiting for Robin to come and elope with her
Unfortunately, the Sheriff and Guy had other plans
Fortunately, Robin was waiting in the woods to spring a trap on the poor unsuspecting Sheriff and his men
Also Ronald de Corbett was passing through and decided to lend a hand
Guy spotted Ronald's men and charged forward with the Sheriffs men in close support
Meanwhile, Robin was still waiting to spring his trap
The battle raged between Guy and Ronald
Whilst Robin was still in the woods waiting to spring his trap
Guy finally beat off Ronald (who was only little and couldn't fight very well) leaving only Little John and some peasants to hold him off
And Robin was still waiting in the woods to spring his trap
And waiting
And waiting
Until the Sheriffs men came to see him off
Victory to the Sheriff and his band of jolly chaps but woe to Marian who is still being held by Max. Will Robin rescue her, will Max weasel his way out of this one and will the Sheriff finally get to be King? Find out in the next thrilling episode
cheers
