A Knight to remember - part 3. The lady vanishes

 As we return to the action swords are still clashing in the chapel...

...where Sir Mark has craftily swapped places with Sir Martin and now stands between him and the Lord's tent
Meanwhile a non-wounded Sir Thomas has dispatched Sir Simon!
Sir Jerry has sent his retainer to duff up Martin's archer while his own archer gives covering fire, but the retainer is soon down and bristling with arrows.
Sir Jerry heads off to the wounded and distracted Sir Thomas.

The fight in the chapel continues - will it ever end?
Sir Thomas spotted Jerry and he was dealt with accordingly - the second knightly death, and both at the hands of Sir Thomas.
Having finally wounded Sir Mark, Sir Martin makes a dash for it while their archers face off.

And enraged and frustrated Sir Thomas pursues the now distant Martin...

...but there's no chance of catching him.
And exhausted Sir Martin reaches Lord John and claims his prize....
...the key to the lady's chastity belt!  
Sir Martin then strode manfully into the tent to claim his reward....only to find the lady gone!  Apparently spirited away by the local forest-dwelling outlaw Robbin' Banks!
I gather that an enraged Lord John has raised a force, including the surviving knights, to retrieve her.  After all, did you really think I'd leave us without the makings of  a sequel?

Ah, a very classic twist of fate! Very Hitchcockian! A most excellent mystery!

I find it hard to believe she'd run away from my Knightly charms, so she was clearly kidnapped by the dastardly outlaws.

You cast doubt on the lady's honour? I expect Sir Martin may demand satisfaction from you...

This one could run and run. Get your bid in now for the film rights...

You'd better go and find her then!

Epic commentary

And I am glad you refrained from gutter journalism and didn't mention Sir Mark at one point being vigorously shaken when taken from behind by Sir Marin in the Chapel!

Great fun and looking forward to the sequel!

Proper objective reporting - I leave the gutter to the players!
