Line 2:
The Sheriff surrounds Nottingham Castle with men and unfurls the flag of truce to give his demands. Robin and Gisborne ride out, and the Sheriff's requests are simple:
 
{{quote| '''Sheriff''': You have until dawn. Give me Gisborne, release Isabella, and then return Nottingham to myself and Prince John. Otherwise, you and your noisy friends, well, they’ll be wiped off the face of the earth.}}
 
To demonstrate, he launches a Byzantine fireball into the market square. Returning to the town, Robin aims to prepare for a siege, delaying tactics until the King's men at Loughborough can be alerted to the situation and summoned. Gisborne asks why Robin didn't end it all by handing him over to the Sheriff:
 
{{quote| '''Robin''': This is bigger than you, Gisborne. It always has been. We are fighting for the future of England. You have Isabella behind bars. That’s what you wanted. This isn’t your fight unless you choose it to be.<br />
'''Gisborne''': While the Sheriff lives this is all our fight. I’m with you. }}
 
Line 17:
In the courtyard, the outlaws prepare to respond as the Sheriff breaks through the gates. However, he has captured Kate, who was making her way back from Loughborough - with the news that King Richard has been captured by Leopold of Austria and is being held to ransom, and that the troops will not fight without Richard to lead them.
 
{{quote| '''Sheriff''': So what's it to be, Hood? Surrender or slaughter?<br />
'''Robin''': Neither. You see, I don't trust you, Vaysey. You said you'd take no prisoners.<br />
'''Sheriff''': Oh, yes. Yes, I did say that. Well, that was rather hasty of me. I mean, who’s going to pay tax if the villagers are all dead?<br />
'''Robin''': So you'd release all these people now, only to make slaves of them later?<br />
'''Sheriff''': Why?<br />
'''Robin''': You don't give them much of a choice, do you? }}
 
The Sheriff, bored of the usual "game", orders Kate killed, only for Much to drop down and rescue her; the rebels open fire. Beaten back, the Sheriff proclaims [[Tempting Fate|"That is the last time Robin Hood makes a fool out of me!"]] As the Sheriff's men fall back, reality sets in and the troops' morale dies. Tuck tells Robin that the people need him, inspiring him for one last [[Rousing Speech]]:
 
{{quote| '''Robin''': Loyal comrades... you know the situation. And you know that we are on our own. Now we have already lost friends and loved ones. But England will lose far more if we do not make a stand this day. And yes, some of us may fall, but our ght will live on, in the minds of those that despise injustice, in the hearts of those that cherish freedom. You are the soul of England, standing firm against tyranny for a real future. Now ask yourself, is that not [[Title Drop|something worth fighting for]]?! ''Together... for England!''}}
 
The troops' morale returns, conveniently just as the Sheriff's men renew their attack. As the fight continues, the Sheriff prepares to enter Nottingham Castle via the secret tunnel, remembering just as they get there that it's blocked by Isabella's trap. He prepares to clear the tunnel with the remaining stocks of Byzantine fire.
Line 34:
Tuck has now positioned all the Byzantine fire he has made in the Great Hall. The rebels make their way to the cellars, and watch as the Sheriff brings his men through the tunnel to the Great Hall. They make their escape as the last of the men go by; Robin and Archer double back to the castle, and Robin fires a flaming arrow into the castle just as the Sheriff and Isabella arrive, wondering how everyone could have escaped. As Robin and Archer run for it...
 
{{quote| [''The Sheriff, believing that the flaming arrow has proven an ineffective final attack from Robin, is checking the room and sniffs some of the mixture he has found'']<br />
'''Sheriff''': Byzantine fire...<br />
[''He looks at the flaming arrow and realises what has just happened...''] }}
 
Line 42:
In Sherwood, Robin says his goodbyes to the outlaws, imploring them to continue the fight. He leaves them to wander deeper into the forest; as he crawls up against a tree to die, he has a vision of Marian's spirit coming to fetch him.
 
{{quote| '''Marian''': I have waited for you.<br />
'''Robin''': I knew I would find you again.<br />
'''Marian''': It's time. The greatest adventure is yet to come.<br />
[''Robin gets to his feet.'']<br />
'''Robin''': My wife.<br />
'''Marian''': Now and forever, my love.<br />
[''They kiss and embrace. In reality, Robin is still lying against the tree, stretching out for Marian's hand, then he falls back, dead.''] }}
 
Later, the outlaws are carrying his body through the forest. Pausing for a moment, Tuck assures them that they will continue his work, and carry on in his name; [[And the Adventure Continues...|then they carry on, taking the body deeper into the forest.]]
