*The Capture*[[EVERYONE INVOLVED]]

[Robin Hood]

"She's what?" Robin exclaimed, shaking his head with disbelief. "Unbelievable. Doesn't she have any sense of self preservation at all? There's no way, we're letting her go. She's a loose cannon, Much, we need to do something about her." Robin looked down at his hands as Kate tended them (scuse pose). He needed to sort this out before things got out of hand. Robin grinned then at his unintentional pun.

"The plan will still go ahead," He reassured Much. "As soon as Kate's finished bandaging my hands then they should be fine. A bit sore and stiff, but nothing to serious as to jeopardise our little mission." The outlaw felt he needed to keep things under control. There was no point in wasting energy panicking.

[Little John]

Little John had been quiet as he watched the events unfold before his eyes. It seemed that not everything was going according to plan which, was definitely not good, but where would they be without making plans fit to them? Dead probably. He watched Kate as she bandaged Robin's hands, then glanced around at the others before on Allan with the dress.

"Hate to be the bearer of bad news but...isn't there a wedding we need to be at? Sort-of now?" Little John asked them, glancing down the road. "Else someone's head is going to roll. And we don't want that...just yet."

[Much]

Much snorted in frustration. John was right, they had to make a move, to avoid things getting too suspicious. "Okay then," he said slowly, reluctant to leave Robin's side. He finally managed to pull himself away, and he sprinted back towards the carriage that they needed in order to arrive at the wedding in style. He clambered into the drivers seat, and pulled the horses reins. The horses snorted at the sudden orders to trot, and they did, their hooves clopping towards the rest of the gang.

As soon as Much was a few metres away, he pulled forcefully onto the reins, causing an abrupt stop. But of course, Rosetta refused to leave until she had performed her strange ritual. Much didn't understand what she would actually have to do, but in all truthfullness didn't really want to know. Or witness it. He hoped that if she did perform this ritual, that it was quiet and simple.

[Robin Hood]

Robin looked at Little John and nodded in agreement. The big man was correct. If they didn't arrive on time, then it would be more than likely that Prince John would send his guards to find his bride and that really was the last thing that the outlaws needed right now.

Robin sighed in exasperation. "John, can you help Carter? That Lady is a menace. Lay her out with your fist if you have to, but get her to Clun. There's that abandoned farmhouse there. It should be safe enough for now. No one goes there." Robin carefully flexed his fingers. They felt puffy and extremely sore. He silently cursed under his breath but picked up his bow.

Waving it in Allan and Carter's direction, he signalled for them to hurry up as Much drove the horses and carriages up. Robin swung himself up in the seat next to Much. "Might as well arrive in style, eh Much?" he grinned.

[Tuck]

Tuck and Sister Magdalene had had a long talk on the way back to the Priory. He told her that he had left the outlaws to come and help her in Priory and the Infirmary. However, at his parting, Robin had indicated that he wanted him to come back, when there latest mission was over, and he gave him a wooden badge that only his outlaws carried to seal it. Almost the entire trip back to Nottingham he had wrestled over the decision he had made. That was whathe desired to talk to Mags about and get her advice.

After the bad encounter with Lady Rosetta he realized that his discomfort with his decision was affecting him in other ways. He greatly desired some sage wisdom from his old friend. After meeting and talking with her he knew that his place right now was with the outlaws of Robin Hood. He knew the general outlines of what they were planning, and that they were heading for Locksley first before they headed for Nottingham, so he quickly set on the road between those two places.

After a long day of travel he happened across, at a distance, what looked like an out-of-place group of men surrounding a carriage. Some of them looked familiar, but the huge man with the staff, with his back to the approaching Tuck did not. "Excuse me, my children, do you need assistance, and might you have some water for a parched Friar," he tried to say as innocently as possible.

[Little John]

Little John nodded at Robin, accepting his request and walked over to try and find Carter and Lady Rosetta. He looked around but couldn't see them too clearly. He frowned and scratched his beard, wondering how far away they had gone, hopefully in the direction of Clun.

A voice cut through his thoughts and looking. He turned and looked at a friar. He raised an eyebrow as the man asked for some water. Well, this was something different. He held onto his staff and paused in thought. "Uh, no. No help needed. We're fine. And...I'm sure we have some water somewhere," Little John muttered, patting himself and finding a small bottle. He handed it to Tuck. "Here."

[Much]

Much watched as a familiar figure walked towards the Outlaws. For a while, he had no idea who he was, but then it dawned on him. It was that Church man. The one that had his heart set on joining with the Outlaws. Much had not really known what Robin was doing, giving that man an outlaw necklace. But Robin seemed to trust the guy, and Robin didn't trust people that easily. And if Robin trusted someone, then Much would too.

Much gave Tuck a friendly nod, and then looked to Robin, awaiting his advice. Would Robin let Tuck join in with the mission? The more people were there to help out, the better, but it was Robin's call, as always. Much loosened his tense shoulders slightly, knowing that they wouldn't be setting off for a least a little while longer.

[Robin Hood]

Robin nodded with satisfaction as Tuck came upon the merry little crew. "Glad to have you with us, Tuck, but I thought you were going to the Good Sisters in Nottingham?" Truthfully, if Little John was going to be helping Carter with Rosetta, then having Brother Tuck on their side at the church would be an advantage. Well, as long as Tuck fought well.

"Right!," Robin exclaimed, about to clap his hands together then thinking better of it, given their current state. "Lets get this show on the road. Allan, you, Kate and Tuck get into the carriage. Carter and Little John, I want you to take Lady Rosetta to Clun. And no excuses, my Lady, you WILL do as you're told." He glared at her, almost defying her to object.

[Tuck]

Tucked nodded back with a friendly smile to Robin's greeting. "I'm glad to have returned and found you so easily, Robin. I began re-considering what I was doing the moment that you handed me the badge. Then after Sister Mags and I had a nasty little verbal confrontation with Lady Rosetta, we had a talk and the good Sister strongly suggested that I re-join with you, to help where I can. So .... here I am!"

"Ah .... very well Robin .... it'll be a pleasure working beside Miss Allen again. Little John .... outstanding to make your acquaintance. Carter .... I've found a short right hand is the most effective with her. And Lady Rosetta .... remember what I said I would do the next time our paths crossed. Perhaps if you'll behave I'll reconsider. If you don't .... and you get away from Carter and Little John .... well .... you won't have long to wait," he said grinning at Allen as he got into the carriage, while the others wondered why the Friar used such blunt and direct words with the noblewoman.

[Carter]

As the "church guy" came onto the scene, Carter raised an eyebrow. So, he was back. Well, Robin seemed to be alright with it, and was already including him into the mission. At Tuck's comment, Carter snorted. It seemed this man was not everything he seemed. He must have met Lady Rosetta before, so that he could talk to her in such an un-gentlemanly fashion. He shook his head, and turned around to make sure Rosetta was still where she was before. She was. Good. She she hadn't run off. Yet.

Robin had started giving out orders. That meant it was time to move. He nodded at Little John, and then raised his eyebrows at Lady Rosetta. "After you then My Lady." he said slowly and patronisingly, tipping his head to one side, signalling her to start moving. If she didn't then force was going to have to be used. But with the joint force of him and John, there was no way the woman could resist. He smiled in satisfaction.

[Allan A'Dale]

Allan pulled a face at Tuck's sarcastic comment and flipped him the most obscene gesture he could think of, before climbing into the carriage and sitting down hard, pouting slightly. Teasing from the outlaws he could just about cope with, but now the world and his brother were popping in for a laugh.

"Are we getting on with this or what?" he snapped at the others.

[Much]

Much snorted with laughter as Allan started to get annoyed at their remarks, and then slipped Robin a sneaky grin. "Is everyone ready?" he asked. In many ways, it was a rhetorical question, since the second later he would be leaving anyway. He made a sharp movement with his wrists, causing the horses to bolt awake and start to trot with a steady even pace towards the Streets of Nottingham.

With one hand still clutching the reins, Much quickly slipped the hood of the large cloak he was wearing over his head, concealing his face. He turned around, expecting Robin to do the same. It was a natural procedure whenever the Outlaws entered a public place. Besides, they couldn't go to Nottingham displaying their faces, when they knew they would be captured and hanged if any of the Sheriff's men saw them.

Much loosened the grip slightly on the horses reins, and took a quick glance round to look inside the carriage through the small square window between where Allan was sitting and where he was sitting. A stifled chuckle couldn't help but emerge from his lips, as he caught sight of Allan's unimpressed expression, plus the fact he was wearing a white lacy veil and a frilly dress. Much turned back around the face the road, tears stinging his eyes as he gritted his teeth.

[Allan A'Dale]

Allan stared out of the window of the carriage as the forest swept past. He'd tucked a dagger under his voluminous skirts but he wasn't sure how useful it would be much use. What was the tradition when it came to weapons and weddings? He just hoped John wouldn't be wearing a sword.

They were getting closer now. The greenery either side of the road was becoming more and more sparse and his stomach fluttered. Pre-mission nerves. He'd had them before, but not like this.

[Little John]

Litte John frowned as Robin easily let the Friar into their mission. They hardly knew him, so why were they suddenly letting him join in? But he paused. They had done the same with him, after all. He even tried to rob them. So, maybe it was ok that someone new joined. He seemed trustworthy and he was a man of God, of course. So they could trust him. He wouldn't put them in any danger. He was sur of Robin's judgement.

"Yes, My Lady, after you," Little John put forward, 'gently' helping her to walk along the path. "Now then. You try anything and me and Carter here will have to take you there personally. For your safety." Litte John glanced at Carter, wondering what he was thinking. Hopefully along the same lines as him. If she turned, she would be moved their by force.

[Lady Rosetta Court]

"Oh be quiet!" she said. "I am armed you know!" she said. She mounted her horse and kicked it into a swift walk. "Come on then John keep up you're as slow as a snail!" she laughed. "Joke!" she added. "Right I'm heading to do my ritual." she said. She kicked Daredevil again and he broke into a trot. "Goodbye. I don't need your protection." she smiled.
