Robin sends Much to recruit men to join their band. He and Will meet up with John the Little on a log bridge, and after a quarterstaff contest, welcome him into their ranks. Dozens more men join Robin's band, and Robin makes them swear an oath to harm the rich only to aid the poor, to fight injustice, and to show courtesy to all oppressed (especially women), be they Norman or Saxon. They start a guerrilla war against Gisbourne and John, killing several men who abuse their power.
