Alan-a-Dale

Mm-hmm.

And then it sort of just does a time skip with Alan-a-Dale talking about King Richard returning, and it shows little scenes of Prince John and the Sheriff and Sir Hiss breaking rocks in prison.

Yes.

How Alan-a-Dale's Wooing Was Prospered.

"'What is thy name?' then said Robin Hood.

'Come tell me without any fail.' 'By the faith of my body,' then said the young man, 'my name it is Alan-a-Dale.'" Friar Tuck and Much the miller's son soon became right good friends over the steaming stew they jointly prepared for the merry men that evening.

So the horse was given also, and Robin bade Arthur Bland ride with the knight as far as his castle as esquire.

The knight was sorrowful no longer, yet he could hardly voice his thanks through his broken utterance.

And having spent the night in rest and listening to Alan-a-Dale's singing, he mounted his new steed the following morning an altogether different man.

God save you, comrades, and keep you all, said he with deep feeling in his tones.

If you watch the, um, if you...

The title scr- if you let the title screen go for a while, you get this, um, Alan Adale does his, like, y- a minstrel thing, and he tells you the story that King Richard goes off to the Crusades, and he is, you know, uh, kidnapped on his way back and held for ransom, which is why Prince John is-

Mm-hmm

... holding, holding onto the throne.

Everything is wrong,

said Alan Adale miserably, and it was true that things were going very badly with him, for his true love and promised bride had been forced to give him up and promise her hand to a rich old knight who won her father's favor by means of his money.

She will marry the old knight if her father bids it, cried Allendale, for she thinks it right to be an obedient daughter, but I know it will break her heart and she will die.

Now this thing shall not be, cried little John, starting forward.

It is a long story, but the end of it is that Friar Tuck carried Robin Hood halfway across the river and there dumped him into the water.

to cool off, as he said.

Then Robin fought with him, but though they fought together with might and main for hours, neither could overcome the other, and so they ceased to fight and became friends, and Friar Tuck willingly consented to go with him and perform the marriage between Alan Adale and his fair Ellen, no matter what a father it raised.

So now Robin Hood and a score of his merry men set out to the wedding, which was to be held in Emmet Church.

It, it does only have, like, a few tricks in its bag, so to speak, right? Like, it's either the Lost in the Woods, Under the Sea, or the MMS Prince Phil, and then, like, it has other good cards and, like, some spot removal here and there.

But what I think makes it less high rolly is that it has, like, a huge abundance of cheap singers that are designed to be able to stick on the board, um, whether it be, like, the one-cost 0/3 or the two-cost 1/4 Ursula, Vanessa, or the, um, Alan-A-Dale.

She's harder to remove than you think.

Yeah, or even the Alan-A-Dale, who just, you know, is better when it sings and you have to challenge into it, I guess.

Um, but then, you know, it also...

I think because it also plays Todd, the Malin, which filters through four to find a song, or another Malin, um, and then-

Tuck was mightily pleased when he found a man in the forest who could make pasties and who had cooked for no less person than the high sheriff himself, while Much marveled at the friar's knowledge of herbs and simples and woodland things which savored a stew greatly.
