Events

Salisbury

• Alaric and Eithne were tasked with garrison duty, being ordered to patrol the countryside around Salisbury.
• The three knights came upon a goatherder, who tasked them with finding Big Bill, his lost prized goat.
• Big Bill was located near the border with Silchester, but before it could be retrieved the goat was grabbed by a massive three-eyed giant.
• The knights attacked, and fought to a stalemate until their comrade Runa appeared, having been wandering the woods in a state of madness for several months. The three knights were able to slay the giant.
• The goatherder arrived, laughing merrily, revealing himself to be Merlin in disguise. Merlin ordered the knights to follow him into the woods.

Otherworld

• Merlin led the group to a small lake, and took a small boat into the mists.
• A Nuckelavee attacked the knights, attempting to stop Merlin from accomplishing his goal. The knights defeated the creature.
• Merlin retrieved a sword from the lake and took the knights back to the mundane world.

Sarum

• At the Christmas Court, the knights relayed the story of Sword Lake to King Uther's court, to great success.
• Merlin suggested to Sir Roderick that the three knights be given leeway to pick their path in future years.
