-
- In England of olde there lived
- An outlaw named Robin Hood.
- Pure of heart and clear of purpose,
- He dwelt in the forest Sherwood.
-
- Thrice ten missions he shall undertake
- With Maid Marian and his Band of Merry Men.
- His goal: Defeat the evil Prince John,
- Who takes from those with no means to defend.
-
- The cunning Sheriff of Nottingham
- Works in Prince Johns employ.
- Robin schemes to take back from him
- All that he would not let others enjoy.
-
Steal From the Rich
-
- From meager beginnings, Robin becomes
- Known as a man of great renown.
- Use Sherwood to train him and his men
- Between missions to castles and towns.
-
- To fund their quests, Robin and his men
- May undertake tasks to steal from the rich.
- Hell need the gold to buy supplies as well as
- Clues from beggars, who are happy to snitch.
-
- While Robin comes armed with his sword
- And trusty bow, he should often bypass a fight.
- The more lives he spares as he sneaks past guards,
- The more recruits he brings to a cause that is right.
-
Of Luck Good and Bad
-
- As Robin searches the English countryside
- For the means to complete a mission at hand,
- He may embark on sub-quests for those in need.
- Such tasks will please the residents of Nottingham.
-
- Along the way, he may find four-leaf clovers
- That he should collect, for they bring good luck.
- They will reverse it should he or one of his men
- Suffer a fatal blow or find themselves simply stuck.
-
- Should a principal hero die in the line of duty,
- The game will end. The minor Merry Men should
- Be replaced, but take care when asking for a new
- Recruit: They could appear in the worst part of Sherwood.
-
Control of the Situation
-
- Robin often undertakes his missions with a band of
- One to five. Each man he brings stays under his sway.
- Use them wisely and pay attention to the bad guys
- Attitudes: They might direct an alarm Robins way.
-
- Quick-actions help strategize characters moves
- While a click and drag of the mouse make characters attack
- In different ways, according to the shapes drawn.
- Make good use of those tools to stay on the right track.
-
- The time is at hand to bring a legend to life.
- Protect his good name from all manner of strife.
- Dont get too anxious and stay the right path.
- Save the people from Prince Johns wrath.
