As Alan made his way towards the designated meeting place just outside of Camelot city, he was accompanied by four NPCs: Merlin, Guinevere, Percival, Dagonet, and five fey warriors. All of them were mounted on horses, a strategic choice based on the nature of the quest and its location. Alan believed that bringing a smaller group would be more effective, allowing the remaining fey warriors to provide support for his friends within Camelot's walls.
When he arrived at the meeting point, Alan found a group of two dozen individuals waiting for him. He recognized roughly half of them; they were a combined group of Black Sand mercenaries from two different teams. The New York server team was led by the scar-faced Hispanic Cachellos, while the French team was commanded by a tall, blonde man wearing thin glasses – a veteran player named Gabriel Baptiste, known as the Bishop.
