The Perilous Quest

Written by James M. Ward

A Camelot Adventure in the Lunar Resorts

Perilous Quest of Camelot

Castle Camelot was filled with people from all over the kingdom. This was the time of the festival of the Perilous Quest. If the quest occurred before midnight that night, all of the attendees were considered lucky for the entire year. There hadn’t been a Perilous Quest for over a decade.

The Queen stopped in mid order when there was a stir at the main entrance to the King Arthur’s Hall. The Majordomo rapped his staff on the floor for attention. The time was 11:48 by Merlin’s water clock. “The Lady Audrey comes to the presence of the King with a plea!”

A thin, young woman in a ripped dress struggled into the hall. She looked stunned as a great sigh of relief filled the hall. Here was the chance for a Perilous Quest.

In this adventure the honor of Camelot and the lengths knights go to finish a quest are the key elements. As fierce fighters, the knights of Camelot of the Table Round can battle with the best of the foes in the lands surrounding Camelot. King Arthur and his Queen help to organize this quest. They give the newly made knights all sorts of useful items.
