Reading Notes: Robin Hood, Part B

-The tale of Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford is an excellent story to be written into the Cyberpunk universe, as it is nothing more than a group of bandits scheming to rob a member of the corrupt elite. As V and Jacky are mercenaries for hire, a hit on the elite of Night City is nothing more than an easy score.

-The Bishop of Hereford could be any character, like Yorinobu Arasaka, or some other denizen of Night City. The possibilities are endless, but rather than using Yorinobu again, it would make more sense to write in a gullible person that would fall for a trap like the one set in Robin Hood's tale.

-In the ballad about the Bishop of Hereford, it was hard to tell whether he was willingly eating and drinking with Robin Hood's group or not. When writing the story, make it clear that the person getting robbed is being finessed and not going along with the robbery.
