The mission: Your story in Nottingham
Robin and Little John recently set out on a journey into Nottingham. You begged him not to go, not to take the risk with both the Sheriff and the King out for his blood, but he wouldn't listen
You haven’t seen or heard from him in a week.
Donning a disguise, you head to Nottingham yourself to find out what has happened to Robin and to bring him home safely before it's too late.
