Rangers of Shadowdeep - Robin Hood crossing the Delaware

I ran the first two missions from the Rangers of Shadowdeep book at Call to Arms. I'm using the cast of Robin of Sherwood (one of my favourite shows) as the party of heroes. I have adapted the scenarios to the first episodes of Robin of Sherwood.

After escaping Nottingham Castle, Robin, Much and Will Scarlet make it to the village of Wickham only to find it abandoned. While dispatching the villagers that turned into Zombies the Party encountered Friar Tuck. He told a tale that Marion of Leaford had been abducted by the men of Baron DeBellem. He has taken her to his tower.

After hacking their way through a spider infested forest the crew make it to the river only to find it guarded by a squad of the Baron's followers.

Here's a shot of the cultists and mercenaries guarding the bridge.
Robin puts an arrow through one of the cultists while the team advance. The Cultists charge forwards to get at the outlaws.
Robin took an arrow as a return shot
Will Scarlet murders the first archer.
Will Scarlet charges over and murders the enemy sergeant.
Little John and Friar Tuck combine to sack a mercenary crossbowman.
Will gets cudgeled by a cultist who is then dragged down by the team.
Robin, Will and Herne combine on one archer while Mutch and John fight of another couple of cultists
Another cultist sprang from behind a rock, A big melee erupts Herne has gone to investigate something.

The team defeat the cultists and start over the bridge.
The team make it over the bridge another Cultist arrives behind them, queue Benny Hill chase music. The merry men also met up with Eric of Wickham (Last seen trapped in another dimension after the defeat of the Red King).
In classic D&D style we looted the camp and then headed off to the Baron's tower to rescue Marion.
