Summary: Our group is attempting a
complete run of the Great Pendragon Campaign
using 5th edition rules. Players are Matt, Mark, and Lilith.
I am the GM.
Year 491
The seventh
year in the Uther Period, with Uther Pendragon as king of Britain.
Our current
roster of characters:
- Sir Eleanor of Dinton, played by Lilith.
- Sir Conmorl of Winterbourne Gunnet, played by Matt.
- Sir Aeddan of Pitton, played by Mark.
This year is
the conflict between Duke Gorlois and King Uther. After Gorlois returned to his
lands, afraid for his wife’s safety near the king, he has declared the insult
unbearable and raises his knights. While they have their doubts about the
justness of this battle, they go along anyway.
The Battle
of Tintagel is fought this year. While the knights, led by Sir Madoc, go up
against one of Gorlois’ fortresses, the King assaults Tintagel, a fortress atop
a sea spire connected to the land by a causeway, very difficult to storm. The battle
is hard fought, and the Cornish attack at night in a daring raid. It is chaotic
close-quarter fighting, and Sir Madoc is slain by Duke Gorlois, who is then in
turn brought low by the player knights. When news of this reaches Tintagel, the
castle surrenders.
King Uther
immediately announces that he will wed Ygraine as spoils of war. She reports
being visited by Gorlois even as he fought to his death many miles away. The
players all know what happened, even if their knights do not. By end of summer
it is clear the new Queen is pregnant.
