Day One

Something scary happened today! Got caught poaching deer…well, actually, didn't shoot it, big man in chain mail made it run away. Was about to shout at big man in chain mail and get irate because he made me loose my dinner. Realised big man in chain mail was a guard. Ran.

Day One – a little later.

Got caught. Explained about wife and unborn child. Didn't seem to sway them. Decided to plead guilty and have them take my finger instead of my hand. Was being brave. Until saw the axe. Then not so brave. Changed my mind.

Day One – a little later still

Man in hood my hero! Saved my life with nifty little arrow trick. Seemed amused by the whole thing. Well, angry about my hand, amused by the fact he kept missing. I ran away.

Day Two

Caught again. Waited for man in hood to save me. Didn't come.

Day Three

Persuaded guards that I am from Loxley. Met Robin of Loxley. Robin of Loxley knows man in hood… he told him about my pregnant wife. Told him wife had had child. Didn't seem impressed.

Day Four

Am to be hanged. Very distressed. Spent evening persuading guards that I am mankind's last hope against the evil wizards. Showed him scar on forehead and everything. Guard not interested. Don't want to be from Loxley anymore.

Day Five

Started day with noose around neck. Robin of Loxley had to hang us. He rescued us. Very flamboyant and totally unnecessary – Saying "Do not hang them" would have done. Now living in forest.

Day Five – later

Strapped to Tree in underwear. Should have worn vest.

Day six

Still strapped to tree. Not the most endearing of places to be. There's something slimy crawling up my leg.

Day six – later

Ha! Tied up outlaws. No longer tied to tree. Turns out something slimy was Much's pet caterpillar. Much was distraught until I managed to detach it from thigh. Oh. Robin of Loxley was hooded man! Its such a small world.

Day six – a bit later

Day getting rather repetitive. We are now tied up again. Not to tree this time, but to each other. Outlaws want reward for Robin. Robin unconscious and drooling, not a pretty sight.

Day six – a bit later still

Sheriff cutting out tongues. Ugh. Robin gave himself up. Met John's wife…nice girl, screams a lot. Much very depressed. Got shirt back, so am happy. No longer tied up. Thank God.

Day Seven

Much left last night to rescue Robin. Found him asleep on a ladder this morning. Rescued Robin. Again, rescue far to flamboyant. Sneak in, get Robin, sneak out. Didn't happen. Back in the forest. We are all friends now. Ready for a nice, quiet day tomorrow.
