Our adventure continues with Lion (Issues #285-290) where Swift Nick and Hal the stable lad are kidnapped by the Stark brothers, bound gagged and bundled into a coach. Swift Nick manages to cut his bonds but before he can subdue the Starks he is shot and falls from the carriage. Hal is left bound, gagged and with no hope as the Starks plan to sell him off to a pirate crew so he’ll not interfere with them again. Luckily Nick avoided death and makes the rescue before the lad is whisked away.
