There is Aaron the Jew, a moneylender in Oxford. He buys and sells information, as well as lending money. We dress up a norsemen and head to Oxford to scout it out. It has a population of about 2,000. It has good strong walls, though not all of it is fully maintained. The northern side has lapsed somewhat, whilst the other side is better maintained.

The keep has been pretty much cleared of any useful material, either in the treasury or in way of documentation. By morning, we wake to see a column of smoke coming from the direction of Shrewsbury. It may be the caravan that was headed in that direction, so we send some scouts to investigate. text/html 2012-01-24T00:12:46+00:00 sam http://wiki.glendale.org.uk/pendragon/20120109 We are in an inn, and I am drunk. Apparently the others wandered out for a bit, and have come back with a monk from the monastry. I'm not sure what they did, but it probably involved something illegal. The monk is Father LLiom, who was the previous head of the monastry, who has been tortured to tell the new management where the coin blanks are. text/html 2012-01-08T22:01:49+00:00 sam http://wiki.glendale.org.uk/pendragon/20111212 Baeddan ap Cuhelyn was the sergeant at arms for the old lord.

It has a castle (Mott and Baily). Apparently the 3 knights that started all this are all from Silchester. The White Tower is the major fortifaction in London. It is a Roman fortification, and is occupied by them at the moment. They have a small fleet docked here, and they use it to control the channel. We are invited to dinner at the Tower, and are introduced to Marcus Petronius, a Roman who apparently is very good at finding… text/html 2011-11-23T22:33:32+00:00 sam http://wiki.glendale.org.uk/pendragon/20111121 That summer we go to London, to join the festivities around the sword in the stone.

Sunday afternoon, we come across a large, brightly (and expensively) coloured, long house. The lord of the place, Wulfhere son of Wolfhein, comes out to greet us. He is dressed with much jewellery, gold and bright colours. He welcomes us, and invites us to stay the night. text/html 2011-10-31T23:29:58+00:00 sam http://wiki.glendale.org.uk/pendragon/20111031 We have a feather pendulem which will lead us to the location of the magic sword. After much experimenting with the swinging of the pendulem, we settle on how best to interpret it, and head off in the direction of swing that doesn't lead us into the sea. text/html 2011-10-25T12:38:43+00:00 sam http://wiki.glendale.org.uk/pendragon/20111024 Around us is ice, snow and ash. Ahead, is the pillar of fire that belches forth from the volcano. We head off with our new found trollhunds. We come across a stagnant pool, in which is struggling a golden hart towards which is slinking a wolf. I charge aroud the pool, whilst the others through rocks at the wolf. Before I get there, the wolf turns to look at us with burning red eyes, then turns and flees. The hart manages to get itself out of the mud and bounds off into the distance. text/html 2011-10-23T16:57:47+00:00 sam http://wiki.glendale.org.uk/pendragon/20110905 We have arrived at the Isle of Wight.
