An Expedition in the Wilds

by Padraig of Harpelstane

Perfidious Albion's troops sallied forth from the Keep in an effort to educate and take the disputed land of Sciennes Primary School. The expedition began with the confused cries of "Help!" and "Where are the rest of the weapons?" . Despite disorganisation and delay the divided forces (Sir Gunnar Tormundson thought it best to divide into a heavier scouting party and a main force) advanced to the dread land of the "play ground" to perform at the bequest of the leader of the snotlings, Mrs. Matthews.
Once the initial show of arms and skills of Perfidious Albion's forces had finished, we were captured by the never ending hordes of little bobbins and subjected to the torture of answering questions. The troops; to their credit, did not break rank and rout as many of the nobles had wagered earlier that day. Showing their true colours, they supported and tended to Sir Gunnar's wounded sensibility as he suffered the lion's share of the torture.
It is my recommendation that he receive some award for successfully fending off questions and statements such as "Couldn't you just catch the arrows and throw them back?" and "Nope. You can just chop them out of the air." He showed great courage and even withheld his grimace in the face of the enemy. Once again the valour and chivalry of Perfidious Albion defeat the assassins of the old Power Ranger of the mountain and restore the perceptions of children to something like the truth (or at least more like Monty Python).
