Merlin decided to take his time with Cath Palug in the meantime since he wanted to observe more of Cath Palug and whether he needed to do a few slight adjustments here and there for me to be comfortable taking Cath Palug with me and to ensure that the method will not cause Cath Palug to revert to his monstrous form and started to murder humans and other creatures, destroying the country and continent even if left unattended.
The lady of the lake is currently talking to the four and from the looks of it, she handed the basic rewards from the quest of assassination to the people who have tampered with the seal of Cath Palug. I don't know how big and valuable the rewards she has given to them might be but I am not there for the rewards, but for the Carnwennan. It's kind of sad that I am not the one who repaired it back to its former glory but that's for the best especially since I might risk it getting destroyed if I attempted it.
