August began with the firs hint of another problem that
faced Camelot, as TomTom told LoreMistress about the giant
bat creature terrorizing the outlying villages.
Skye and Ian teased Squire Kylan a bit over the letters he and
Arista exchanged that resulted in the decision to end the marriage
arrangements made by their parents.
On the other hand, Master Robinton was wed to Lady Yandora
in a ceremony conducted by Lord Corwin and Gabriel Morninglord..
A great feast was held afterward in the firehall.
Blackthorn learned of another area now cleared from the Wasteland
as Sir Maick Symons visited Camelot.
Ian tried in vain to persuade the two changelings taken prisoner to
leave their Fae master and return to normal human life. After Lady Ahmi
caused one of the prisoners to crumble to dust, Ian let the other one go
free in the hopes the changeling might eventually change his mind/
A young widowed mother named Shayla arrived in Camelot with her
infant son Tristram seeking shelter from her brother in law. Lord Lucan
Trevayne. Blackthorn intervened on her behalf, writing Trevayne a
letter requesting the restoration of Shayla’s inheritance. Although he
complied with Blackthorn’s request, Trevayne continued his plotting to
rob Tristram of his father’s title and estates.
A guard brought word of one of his fellows disappearing aboard the
deserted ship “Gaudy Grizelda”. Blackthorn led a boarding party that
included Lord Corwin, Kyrie, Glofin, Tyralor, Daedalus, LoreMistress,
Lyrick,Tobias and Talen Sandreks on to the ship where they discovered
a spiderlike being. After pinning the creature to the wall the adventurers
sunk the ship and drowned the spiderthing.
Afterwards, Ian had nightmares about the incident, but perhaps he
was not the only person in Camelot with troubled dreams of late.
Incidents of Wild Magic continued. Two rush harvesters, Ellis and
Collen, survived an encounter with Will o’ the Wisps in the marshes.
Palmer left Camelot and ended up as Beron’s “guest” in an ancient
Roman villa deep in the heart of The Wyld.
Tobias was unable to obtain any help from Loremistress in preparing
for the final encounter with his demon mother.
Even as plans were being discussed with the merfolk about hunting
the serpent, Ahmi had her sister Adena lure the serpent closer to Camelot
with her song.
Squire Kylan spent an eventful night in an inn as a mysterious observer
watched his behavior.
Beron visited Camelot and warned that Ahbel and Ahmi had something
planned for Samhain (Halloween)
Curious as to why the Fae would have stolen Bran’s Cauldron, Ian and
several others went down to Camelot Below to ask Hugin the dwarf some
questions about the Cauldron’s repair. Making the trip were Sa`gruund the
Dwarf Ghost, LoreMistress, Squire Lyssa, Squire Lyrick, Kyrie, Sir Glofin,
Lord Corwin, Anki and Bayla Vin. While the group was talking with Hugin a
redcap raiding party attacked and took several dwarves prisoner to take
to Ahmi who needs information about the Cauldron as well.
Several more newcomers arrived in Camelot. A warrior named Anselm
came, attracted by the reputations of Camelot’s fighters.
Catalina, the daughter of an old friend of Blackthorn’s from Castile came
and departed shortly after an argument with Anki and Ian.
Elki, a small Fae creature called a pillywiggen became attached to Bayla
and had a territorial dispute with Puhk over Bayla’s hair.
Mace teased Nobly over her supposed “crush” on Bayla.
Master Pinkus’ new body turned out to be that of quite innocent looking
young man and Blackthorn was not pleased with Bayla and Kalaris over
this new development.
TomTom brought the survivors of an attack by the Giant Bat to
Camelot and plans were made to hunt the creature.
And as the month drew to a close, Tyralor suggested that a messenger
be sent to the House of Dreams with an invitation to discuss the tensions
between Camelot and the Fae.
So once again Camelot faced challenges to its people.
Only time would tell if it would triumph over them.
