About the Story

It was the time of the "Pentecost" and Arthur summoned all and sundry to a great feast at Caerleon.

Lords and Knights came from all parts of the land, each with their own retinue and each bearing sworn allegiance to the king and all he stood for.

As the feasting continued there was a series of knocks, somewhat urgent, on the main doors and, when they were flung open, in flounced the "Loathly Damsel". Though far from fair in her looks, the lady was of commanding bearing and when she entreated the king to provide her with a knight to assist her in her quest for the Castle Anfortas, the king found himself only too willing to be of service. However, none would rise to the occasion and it now falls upon Perceval, a lowly scullion, to take on the task.

Will you, in the guise of Perceval, take the king's command and offer the "Loathly Damsel" the assistance she requires. If you do, you will be dubbed SIR PERCEVAL and provided with all the "trappings" that go with the appointment ... You will be sent on your way with some rusty armour, a battered old nag and the "Loathly Damsel" in attendance.
