Arthur and Merlin in “Lancelot and Guinevere”

The ransom was supposed to be delivered to the Vale of Dinaria; if they’re holding Gwen anywhere, it has to be there. Which means we can save a day’s riding if we cut through the tunnels of Andor.

Oh, no. I know that face, I’m not going to like this am I? What’s in the tunnels?

They’re infested with Wilddeoren.

What are Wilddeoren?

They’re like giant – [gestures with hands, and then sees Merlin’s expression and brings his hands much closer together] – baby rats.

Baby rats? They don’t sound so bad –

They feast on human flesh.

Maybe we should go over the mountains…
