Bye Bye Boys (and Girls)! Have Fun Storming the Castle!
The day to retake Camelot had finally come. Arthur's knights, lead by the Black Knight, rode out from their encampment. They were a force of three thousand strong. Armor gleamed in the light of the setting sun and off the sharp edges of swords and spears.

They rode for two hours before they came to a halt a few miles from Camelot.

Here a small group would split from the main body and carry out their mission while the rest would ride to besiege the castle.

Svalin patted Tryggvi's neck when they came to a stop and he started pawing the ground. Her mount had been eager to take to the air and as eager for battle as Svalin was, but she had held him back. They had spent enough time waiting for Arthur's forces to gather. The longer they waited, the more Svalin grew impatient. She tried to busy herself with helping at the forges and sparring with whomever dared to spar against her, but it hadn't taken the edge off of the anticipation for the coming battle.

Tryggvi reared and Svalin brought him back down. "Easy, my friend. We wilt see battle anon." Her voice was soft as she tried to calm her steed. They were about to go into battle and yet Svalin paused a moment to think of her siblings. What glorious battles were they seeing without her? What foes were they fighting? Were they still alive?

She looked over at Vernique who was riding next to her. She looked a little nervous. It was to be expected. Most of their forces were nervous and many would die this day. Svalin had seen the shadow of death clinging to many of them. It was selfish, but she was glad none of her companions were to be touched by death this day.

Then Svalin looked past Vernique and at a knight named Lancelot. The man had been following Vernique around since the first day they rode into camp. She didn't know if Vernique had favored him with her attention or not and Svalin did not pry.

Tryggvi reared again. Something was not right. Her mount was battle trained and they had faced many battles without the nervousness he was displaying today.

She watched as the Black Knight called the small group forward. Charlie, Vernique, Ryan and two of Arthur's knights would break off from the main body and ride around to the west. They would approach Camelot from the rear and try to sneak into the castle to open the gates for the rest of the host. Svalin and the rest were to provide a distraction until their mission was accomplished.

"In the morn we wilt raise drinks to the fallen and to our victory," Svalin said. "May thou have safe passage and thine weapons find the enemy."

	Iason is good at distractions. He's also less worried than most about Kang's energy weapons. He lets the stealth group get underway, then launches into the skies and towards Camelot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique flashed Svalin a reassuring smile.

She gave one to Lancelot, too. Hadn't laid a hand on the fellow, as it happened; she knew how This Sort of Thing Went, in her opinion. In this kind of culture, the more enthralled they looked, the less likely they were ever going to touch you.

She'll nod confidently-looking at everyone, and head off with the others at the appointed time.

	The main force rode to Camelot lead by the Black Knight. Once they were near the castle, the spread out and formed battle lines. They had to buy the stealth team time to open the gates. He wasn't sure how the strangely dressed people would fair against the forces of Mordred armed with the shining swords. He sat astride his horse and waited. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The Black Knight looked up and saw the canons. They would not survive if those canons were allowed to continue to fire. "We must take them out," he said. "Archers!" he cried out and two rows of men stepped forward. They all held longbows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The small stealth team made their way toward the castle. The sun had just set below the horizon and the increasing dark would give them some cover. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The Dragon notes the winged horse and its rider. In its feral mind, it realizes that it has not eaten at all today. The fire-lizard roars a challenge at the rider and opens up its mouth, loosing a burst of flame. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mordred walked along the battlements and saw the two flying men. "Fire at them! he yelled to his troops. "Destroy them!" He realized they were attacking the cannons and needed to be destroyed as soon as possible. "Morgan! Witch! Use your magic!" Morgan stood on a tall tower and started shooting blasts of magical energy at the two Eternals. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Eli keeps up the illusion of his flying as best he can while he hides in a small alcove on the battlements. As long as they are focused on him, it may give Iason time to bring down more of the cannons. He'll look to engage and defeat the witch first, before going after Mordred.

	Vernique just slips in and, with all her strength, shoves against the winch attached to the chains attached to the castle gate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It didn't take too long for order to be restored. Arthur's knights knew their way around Camelot and had made short work of cleaning up Mordred's forces. As for Mordred he was nowhere to be found. He slipped out when the gates were being assaulted. The Black Knight and allies gathered in the great hall. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Vernique will find Svalin lying face down on the ground not far from the dragon's corpse. The cloth under her armor is gone having been eaten away by the acid and her armor is scarred with acid burns. Her exposed skin also shows signs of acid burns and her left leg is at an unusual angle.

	Svalin was still breathing and the shouting brought her back to a state of some consciousness. "Nnnngrh," she groaned and managed to roll herself over onto her back. "Dist we win? Camelot hath been retaken?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As usual, Iason just does some of the heavy lifting and grunt work, then separates himself from most of the fuss, celebrations and mourning alike. He finds a place on a hill overlooking Camelot to watch from once he's made sure all the Kangtech is melted down so no one from this time can study or duplicate it. (Reply to this)
