[JonPop]

The Captain had moved 20 of his men around behind the buildings on the wharf, to attack those guarding the ship from the far end of the pier. They quickly overpowered and killed two men that had been patrolling, before they could sound an alarm.

The knights had retrieved their armor from the wagons and were mounted and waiting between buildings, out of sight of the wharf.
Robin Hood had sent several men to the roof tops and the remainder were waiting to ambush the guards at the near end of the pier.

Several flaming arrows were sent aloft, landing in bales on the dock, quickly setting fires. This was the signal.

Sir JonPop, Sir Uberschwanz and Sir Bret, led the charge from between the buildings toward the ship.

The startled soldiers scattered as the Knights on horseback, descended in their midst. As quickly as one would grab up his weapon, he was felled by an arrow from the snipers on the roof tops or was killed with a broadsword.
The soldiers, advancing from the far end had overpowered the 8 men there and were killing any that ran their way. Robin Hood and his men made quick work of any coming towards them.

The men disguised as dock workers had grabbed their hidden weapons and charged up the gangplank. They met little resistance. In just a matter of a few minutes, the plan to capture the ship had succeeded.

Sir JonPop had painfully dismounted and was trying to dislodge a cross bolt from his arm that had penetrated his shield and the wooden lining that had been installed in all of the Knights shields. It had gone into his left arm holding the shield and his arm was pinned.
The remaining knights had boarded the ship and quickly put down any of those aboard still willing to fight.
Try as he might, Sir JonPop, couldn't release his grip on the shield strap, so as to free his arm.
Sir Loki saw him sitting on a bale and knew something was wrong. He quickly descended the gang plank and walked over to him. Sir JonPop, turned his shield so Sir Loki could see what the problem was. Sir Loki removed his dagger from it's scabbard and quickly cut the holding strap, he cut the cross bolt where it penetrated the shield and Sir JonPop pulled his arm free. A physician was called and he expertly removed the bolt from Sir JonPop's arm, washed, closed and stitched the arm.

Sir JonPop was lucky that it had missed the major artery, though he had lost some blood.
The BetterMan soldiers were removing and dressing in the uniforms of the dead soldiers of King Richard and dumping the bodies over the wharf in preparation for the next phase of the the rescue.
