He defeats each enemy in turn - though each is brought back to life by a different doctor (a special character with a strange cure.) St George is, unfortunately, a bit of a big-head, and by the time he defeats the last enemy, the Dragon, Princess Saffron has begun to have other ideas about a suitable partner... |

In Arthur's absence Mordred decides that he wants the job on a permanent basis and that includes taking Queen Guinevere as well. Now, as we all know, damsels in distress inevitably attract heroic rescuers. Cue would-be knight Sir Lancelot. What Lancelot lacks in knightly skills he makes up for in enthusiasm. Unfortunately he cannot overcome Mordred and even the returning Arthur needs to turn to the mystic legends of Avalon in order to reclaim Camelot and his Guinevere. |
