Robin may walk through the forest like he owns the place, but I am Sheriff of Nottingham. I have more than one trick up my sleeve.
We were enjoying Gisborne's little birthday party when we learned that a one-legged messenger had been dispatched by the King. Whatever King Richard wanted, it couldn't be good, and I had to put a stop to this. Surely, a one-legged man would be easy to thwart. I broke up Gisborne's party and sent out my own assassins, a.k.a the Three Idiots - two of Gisborne's "men" and Adrian-a-Dale or whatever they call him - to rid us of our unwanted visitor. Somehow, the Three IDIOTS let a one-legged man escape. One leg outruns SIX? To make matters worse, they let the message fall into outlaw hands!
According to an insolent fool brought in to entertain Gisborne's party, there was one thing that could stop Prince John from becoming King, and that was Lardner's ring. Lardner? Who's Lardner? I asked. He wouldn't say, and he wouldn't cooperate, I'd have my men flog him in the dungeons until he talked. Usually works like a charm. However, our Fool was a slippery one, and he managed to get past my men.
Thankfully, we caught him. And he finally confessed and told me Lardner was actually La-d'ner, a messenger pigeon owned by the Sultan, and the ring was attached to his foot. The ring has a message in it...blah-dee-blah.
The more the Fool spoke, the more I was on to him. Gisborne fears this man, this Fool? A soothsayer, a magician? Ha! There's rhyme and reason to everything, and his little tricks were all sleights of hand. After the Fool told his story, I knew, that if that pigeon were released, King Richard would immediately know my plans, and the last thing we needed was him and his army coming back to England before we're ready for them. When I have a problem, I don't rely on magic. I rely on clear, rational thinking and quick action. I had to get that bird.
And get him, I did. Wars are decided by who's bigger, more vicious. If you want to kill the small bird, just get a bigger bird. And I had the bigger bird - a bird of prey, a hawk. And my bird ripped their fumbling little pigeon to shreds. Kind of like how I'll rip Hood to shreds when my plan comes to fruition...

The sheriff is obviously a ancestor of Dick Dastardly of Vulture Squadron fame. Instead of saying "Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon" our beloved Sheriff was heard to say; "Kill the pigeon, kill that pigeon now."
