1291 - However noble Caesar has no plans to keep Robin alive for long. He intends to offer him as sacrifice to mighty Poseidon to secure a safe passage home.
1292 Robin finally finished his shiv, and stabbed his jailor when he brought him his so-called daily meal. Robin has now escaped from prison, and exits the cell joyfully, only to trip over the beard he grew during his long incarceration! :brow:
1293. . . Robin, back in his cell after his foiled escape attempt, is miserable. In the meantime, Caesar manages to pick up a priest stranded on a shipwrecked galleon. Not knowing what else to do with him, he throws the priest in with Robin. . .
1294--The priest turns out to be Pietro del Morone, the reclusive monk who is attempting to flee rather than be elected Pope. He befriends Robin while hiding out in Caesar's jail cell (what Caesar's doing still alive in 1294 is a mystery...but then Robin's getting up there in years too :lol: ), and when the King of Naples comes along to escort him back to Rome, he takes Robin with him. Robin gets to shoot off an honorary golden arrow when Morone becomes Pope Celestine V in August. Robin gets to drinking too much Vatican wine in the company of a fat cardinal. Unfortunately for Robin, by the time he's fully sober again, Pope Celestine V has started abdication procedures. By December he's out and Boniface VIII is in.
1295 - Robin wonders why on earth things keep happening to him in spite of his not posting anything. At any rate, Robin barters sketches of naked mermaids for safe passage back to England. And a shave (he tries to only make his mistakes once). The Pope, as it happens, is his primary trade partner.

1297- Robin has just sat down after arriving home, when Robina and Azeem come in from their 'round the world cruise. Figuring that he probably hasn't been up to much, they tease Robin that he must not have moved the whole time they were gone, since he's sitting in the same spot as when they left.
