 King John is sick of constantly having the Nottingham tax money stolen by Robin Hood and his gang. Realising that Robin Hood thrives because the common people trust and support him, The King sets out to tarnish Robin Hood s reputation, and thus make the people turn against him. The King hires Roger de Carnac, also known as "The Carnage", who will set together a gang of "outlaw impersonators". Dressed as Robin Hood and his gang, they will kill, burn, and rob their way trough the villages of Nottingham.
