Just a quick disclaimer, there is some stronger than usual violence this week.

There are kids who listen to the show, so I always want to give a heads up.

Check out the post on mythsandlegens.com for more details.

This week, on mythsandlegens, it's the continuation of our Robin Hood tale,

and this time, the sheriff of Nottingham is on his last nerve.

With his reputation on the line, failure is not an option.

Despite his unimpressive past being peppered with exactly that.

The creature this week is that stinky guy with the weird hair and clammy skin.

Who might just try to keep your soul in a jar?

This is mythsandlegens, episode 141B, The Hunted.

This is a podcast where I tell stories from mythology and folklore.

Some are incredibly popular stories you think you know, but with surprising origins.

Although some stories that might be new to you, but are definitely worth a listen.

Previously on the show, 15-year-old Robin Hood mysteriously showed up at a royal archery contest,

where he absolutely owned the kingdom's best archers.

He humiliated the sheriff of Nottingham and escaped into the forest,

where he ended up leading a band of outlaws.

And it was those outlaws who robbed from, well, everyone, and gave to themselves.

The sheriff embarrassed one time too many, hired an assassin, the name of Guy of Gisborne.

Who he tasked with pleading and then to his Robin problem forever.

Robin, having captured, little John pounded on the table, the scattered ails jumping into the air.

He told Robin not to go, but Robin wouldn't listen.
