To wipe out the resistance, the tyrant has enlisted mighty warriors such as Guy of Gisbourne and the Prioress of Kirklees. You will need to call on your full range of abilities and build devastating synergies with your teammates to vanquish your foes and free the people from the yoke of the Sheriff.
