Played a Robin Hood game on Tuesday at Malamute Towers,  Jimbibbly is writing the AAR which he'll add here soonTM.  Until then here's a few pictures.

Scenario was pretty simple, Some mercenary knights (Malamute) were to spring Max of Clifford who was under house arrest while the Sheriff and Gisbourne (Jimbibbly) were out to tai Max to Nottingham jail. Robin Hood was to rescue Maid Marian who was also being held at Clifford Hall.  Homebrew rules as per the recent Red Planet Adventure VSF threads.

NOTE: Bibbles may need a bit of encouragement to post his pictures and the AAR, so please feel free to PM him or post here and tell him to get on with it! :)

Not wanting to steal any thunder from James' imminent AAR, but Robin wasn't in the Shrubberies this time round, he was in the thick of the fighting and narrowly escaped with his life.

Robin Hood Adventures

A Dr De'Ath production (even though the lazy arse couldn't be bothered to do the report properly).

Staring Malamute as Sir Ronnie De Corbett and Jimbibbly as the Sheriff of Nottingham (I'm the King!)

Max of Clifford 'resides' at his home, Clifford Towers, awaiting for the Sheriff (I'm the King!) to escort him to a better residence; namely, Nottingham Castle! Held captive waiting with him is his ward, the lovely Maid Harold (note the 9 o'clock shadow)


But what's this? A band of roaming knights led by Ronnie De Corbett has snuck into Clifford Towers for some nefarious reason.


Unbeknownst to our good Sheriff they are there to help spring Max and take him away to safety.


The Sheriff dispatches Guy of Guisbourne who splits his command into two to get Max whilst he sees an old adversary in the distance (hiding in the woods... What a surprise).


Unfortunately the roaming knights are far too much for Guy's first little band and they are beaten to a man (apart from Guy, who runs away lives to fight another day)


The Sheriff and his men have a quick shoot out with Robin (who is still hiding in the woods)


Meanwhile, Guy's other group charges Robin (who actually came out of the woods), take a couple of hits but defeats Robin in heroic combat!


Unfortunately for the Sheriff a party of woodsmen, who were also hiding in the woods, join up with Robin and outnumber the brave Sheriff and his band causing them to leave Max and Ronnie to escape to freedom...


Tune in next time for the dareing feats of derring do with Robin, Guy, Max (boooo) and the Sheriff (I'm the King!).

cheers

Robin the brave, he ran away, he buggered off...  ;)

Brilliant AAR! But when will Max have his day in court?

As to Max, only the media time will tell  ;)

Max is innocent!

How could anyone believe the word of his cross dressing ward Maid Harold anyway?

Apparently Max promised he'd introduce her to the real King. That's what they're saying in Nottingham...

Maid Harold is a dead cert for the Nottinghamshire Song Contest, I hear.

The game looks absolutely marvellous.
Back from the dead, almost.
