The party gather their wits and decide that guerilla tactics will work best to break through the defenses of the hobgoblins at the monastery. They explore the mausoleum and then using some helpful magic they manage to break in over the wall and start to explore the interior of the main building and cause a little damage along the way.

So, Nick pronounces ‘scimitar’ as ‘sky-mateer’? You do realize that you can never play any pirate-themed RPGs with him, right? Whenever he’d try to call someone a ‘privateer’, it’d end up as ‘privy tar’, which sounds like British slang for a particularly sticky and viscous bowel movement. 😉
Oh please don’t get Nick onto cockney rhyming slang…. Please Monkey, no!
Don’t worry, Hal, that idea would never cross my mind. Incidentally, considering how interested Nick was in discussing whether you came from Northumbria or Cumbria, it’s surprising that he hasn’t taken the time to look at a map, and check out some of the names of places in your home area. He could’ve gotten a perfect excuse to ask how often you’d been in Cockermouth. 😛
It’s how it was pronounced in the old days. You’ll understand when you’re immortal.
For a certain generation, proper pronunciation of ‘scimitar’ is ‘Nasir’s swords’. 😉
Prince of Thieves or Robin of Sherwood?
Thanks, now I’m earworming ‘Everything I Do’ the rest of the day… I guess I’ll have to hose it off with a truckload of Clannad.
I had to check, and Morgan Freeman’s character was called Azeem in Prince.
But yea, Robin of Sherwood. Probably slow as molasses for today’s viewer, but damn did that show had a heart – well, at least until Michael Praed called quits. Jason Connery never clicked for me.
Better than that new (ish) Robin Hood series with Jonas Armstrong. The first clearly Irish Robin Hood from some council estate. Robin Hoody. It was terrible, as were the costumes 🙂
Yeah, saw a couple of reviews and did not bother with that one.
There’s one from the mid-seventies that I barely remember, probably Legend of Robin Hood. All I recall is that a) it was bleak and b) Robin dies at the end from poisoning? by Marian?
I was perplexed that I could not find Clannad’s Legend from my iTunes library. Okay, maybe it is on the CD pile somewhere? No. That’s crazy. We used to listen to it a bit back in.. Then it dawned on me: My wife had it – on a C-cassette! NOW I feel old…
OTOH, if the Sidhe Archer and the new Cleric engage in a whirlwind romance, there’s already a perfect bit of background music for ’em: “Everything I poo, I poo it for you!” 😉
And now that is stuck in my head and I am whistling it…. Thanks Monkey!
