Synopsis:
A mortally wounded, one-legged messenger from King Richard flees Locksley Manor pursued by Gisborne's men and ends up in the arms of Robin. With his dying breath, he tells Robin that the King needs him to return to the Holy Land, and he utters the word "Lardner". The Sheriff is furious that the messenger has escaped, especially now that he and Gisborne are also on the hunt for "Lardner" - they received a prediction from a fortune-telling Fool that the "Ring of Lardner" would spell trouble. When Will and Djaq discover that Locksley Village is being scoured for Lardner's ring, Djaq tells Robin what "Lardner" really is - a Saracen carrier pigeon. Consequently, Robin's reply to King Richard will only take days to reach him. While Robin and Marian go to the last place they saw the King's messenger, the gang composes a note to the King. Unfortunately, just as Robin and Marian reach "Lardner", the Sheriff and Gisborne arrive. Surrounded, and trapped in a tree, Robin and Marian realize that unless they resort to desperate measures they will face certain death.
