Character(s): Robin Hood
Synopsis: In town, an elder auctions off three splintered arrows for charity. Robin Hood used them to best the Sheriff, but Prince John demands the story because "Robin Hood is dead".

Because the "elder" is Robin in disguise, as he vanishes into the trees laughing!

Synopsis: A village boat ventures far for fish, but meets a fire troll looming in the mist and setting the sea afire! Jon insists they investigate, but cruel Jon demands they stay.
