It turns out that Simon shot a rabbit and was skinning it for his family’s supper and was drying the skin to make a pouch when a Forester found him.

Will is here with a young man named Simon who fled to the Merry Men for safety. Two screens north of the camp is the glade where the Merry Men practice archery. With nothing else to do in Robin’s cozy, albeit empty, cave, I head out to the main encampment where Little John, Alan, Friar Tuck, and Will Scarlett are having a post-breakfast gab session.

Included is such interesting and useful stuff like:

Speaking of the manual, it is of the typical high quality of Sierra games of this era. As the manual helpfully explains, a penny is a silver coin, a ha’penny is a half-penny, and a farthing is a quarter penny. Taking the money in the chest (50) I see that Robin has 5 pennies, 19 ha’pennies, and 26 farthings. Robin informs us that, while Friar Tuck handles most of the money, Robin keeps some set aside for his own personal use. I take the horn (50 points) and check the treasure chest.

In the cave there is a bed, a fire, a horn on the wall and a small iron chest on a shelf to the left. If there is any significance to this number, it is lost on me. In the status bar on top of the screen I see “Ransom,” “Outlaws,” and “Score.” According to the manual, “Ransom” is how much money Robin and his men have raised towards freeing the King, “Outlaws” is the size of the Merry Men, currently at 31, and “Score” is Robin’s current point total out of an oddly-specific 7,325. The interface is standard Sierra point-and-click-era fare, with an added “Bow” icon.
