King Arthur was now able to walk, with some help, to the Round Table.
He had called a meeting of his Knights and had sent for Robin Hood who was now in attendance.

He begin by saying, "As Sir JonPop knows, I received a smuggled letter from the Queen. I have also received a letter from the Queen by courier.
This second letter is written by the Queen under duress and pleads with me to pay the ransom.
We shall not give in to the scoundrel, King Richard.
We have had many days, now to review the plan of Robin Hood and it has merits. We know that King Richard is planning to move the Queen, in four days from today and the route he will take to the waiting ship.
I mean no disrespect to you or your plan Robin, but I and my Knights have decided that too many things are left to chance with what you have laid out before us.
We have come up with an alternate plan, that I will now ask Sir JonPop to put forth to you."

The King had been standing, trembling arms braced against the table and now sat down with a pained look on his face.

Sir JonPop stood and said, "Brother Knights, since you already know of this alternate plan, I will address Robin Hood."

"Robin of Sherwood, my friend and friend to the Kingdom of BetterMan, we thank you for your service to our King and to our cause.
What we have come up with is;

We would ask that a small number of your men, hide in waiting in the last forest that the convoy must pass through. We will need a delaying tactic from your men to engage and harass the enemy while we capture the ship. We do not need them to entirely stop the convoy, just delay.
We will need the majority of your men and yourself to defend the ship after it has been captured. We will also have a number of soldiers and archers aboard, along with the BetterMan Knights and the King's daughter Princess Susan, who insists that she be allowed to take part in the rescue of her Mother.
Sir Stud will go undercover dressed as a beggar to scout out the strength guarding the ship. We will also have several men dressed as dock workers, to aid in the overpowering of the guards.

We will now review this plan and go over the timing and details."
