1306 - Robin, who is NOT in the mood for lip right now, shoots each Robina and Azeem in the foot.
1307 - Their feet being firmly stuck to the wooden floor by Robin’s arrow, Robina and Azeem scream in pain. Robin calmly takes out a couple of deadly blood-sucking leeches from a small metal container and pops one each into their open mouths. These are no ordinary leeches. While Robin was the honoured guest of Pope Celestine V, he had illicitly procured these mutant leeches, from the well-known V.S.L. (Vatican Secret Laboratory) where they were created. The clergy used them to murder anyone who claimed that Jesus had fathered a child with Mary Magdalene. Robin had obtained them to silence stupid people who said annoying things, whom he often encountered.
1308 -Robin, who had the last laugh, was about to disappear from the crime scene, when the cops, having been alerted by the neighbours who had heard the screams, came along and took Robin into custody. They seize from his possession a bow, 4 arrows, 8 leeches in a metal box and 12 sketches of nude mermaids. The post-mortem report of Robina and Azeem conclusively link the cause of death to the presence of deadly leeches, similar to the ones found in Robin’s possession. The sketches of naked mermaids are linked to the sensational scandal which shook the Vatican in 1295. The scandal had concluded with the conviction of Robin’s friend and disgraced Pope Celestine V, under Section. 292 of the Vatican Penal Code, for corrupting the clergy by selling pornography. The pope was sentenced to serve life term in solitary confinement at the Chateau D'if. The prison guards think he is mad because of the strange stories he tells them.
1309 - At the trial, Robin takes the plea of insanity. Luckily for Robin, the Judge is an atheist who despises the ways of the church. The Judge’s parents had died along with hundreds of others in a mysterious fire accident while attending a congregation of the Opus Dei. There were rumours about the hand of the church in origin of the conflagration which incinerated the entire congregation. The Judge acquits Robin holding that the actus reus was not backed by mens rea as he had lost his mind on the island where he had been marooned. The judge commits him to a mental asylum.
1310 - The clergy who were instrumental in sending Pope Celestine V to the Chateau D'if are infuriated by the acquittal. Determined to make him suffer, they hatch a conspiracy to kidnap Robin from the asylum. On the night of 23rd July 1310, Robin mysteriously disappears from the asylum. Robin wakes up at 3.59 AM on the following day and finds himself in a dungeon. He feel like he has been asleep for a year.
His head hurts terribly. He feels the back of his head and grimaces with pain as his fingers sense a lump and clotted bood. He tries to remember what had happened, but is interrupted by a strange noise. Scrape..........scrape.........scrape.......
1311 - Robin staggers towards the door holding his head and listens. The noise seems to be that of a shovel. He thought "Who could that be?"
1313~~~~~cool
1314 - Robin wakes up from his alcohol-induced nightmare and pays a phone call to Friar Tuck to heal his offspring-in-law Robina and Azeem before passing out again.
1315--Robina and Azeem, having had their feet nicely healed by Friar Tuck, finally manage to wake dear old Dad and ask him why he was so cranky. He tells them the whole long story and they are amazed. Robina refuses to let him hang a large naked mermaid picture over the mantle, so Robin and Azeem take it out to their workshed and hang it over the spot where they mark the days of the year. Thus the precurser to the modern swimsuit calender is born. Meanwhile Robin Jr.'s witchy wife, Astra, steals all the leaches Robin brought with him and discovers that not only was their lethal quality a dream, but they won't even suck blood like normal leeches. They're vegetarian leeches that suck juices from plants. Astra decides to keep them as pets.
