Robin of Sherwood: Seven Poor Knights from Acre

A group of Templars on their way to Lincoln have a precious item stolen by a random thief. When this thief is found momentarily in the company of Robin Hood and his men, the Templars believe it was stolen by them. With a hostage, the Templars demand the return of their icon by morning, or else the hostage will be hanged. With a race against the clock, and unsure of what the Templars want, Robin Hood must discover what they want and where it is.
