Mischief of a Faerie

A Challenge with Quarterstaves

When his sister names a bearded giant as her newborn's father, Arthur storms off to force Little John to support them.

Will a Faerie help a forest poacher defeat a man taller and stronger than he is?

Arthur's sister names a bearded giant as her newborn's father. The only bearded giant that the young poacher knows is the outlaw Little John. Arthur storms off, resolved to force John to support his child.

He can't shame an outlaw into honor. He can't force a man taller and stronger than he is to shoulder his responsibilities.

Will the Faerie Iofrin's mischief lead to the answer?
