Bandit Attack

Arthur, Gwen and Merlin are riding out for a celebratory picnic to mark the young King and Queen's wedding anniversary. A small hessian bundle lies hidden in the undergrowth. The faintest wisp of smoke rises through the grass... suddenly the bundle explodes like a firecracker, spooking the horse to bolt. Arthur struggles to gain control of the animal as his saddle slips throwing him to the ground with a mighty crash.

Two bandits break cover and rush towards him, flashing their swords with a murderous cry. Arthur hauls himself to his feet, sword unsheathed in the blink of an eye. Arthur crashes into his assailants but they're no ordinary scum; they're good, dangerously good... Merlin has to act quickly to secretly give his friend a little magical assistance...
