>>5909757The Walls are in terrible shape. You learn from the bard that the magic in the stones used to create barriers of defense against divination and intrusion as well as act as a sort of alarm system should an enemy attempt to enter. But the breaches render those defenses moot since no sane enemy would attempt to climb over the intact portions of the Wall but rather just saunter in through the easier paths.
There is farmland lying fallow, burnt down houses, abandoned kilnworks and factories, blasted to smithereens markets, barely operational aqueducts and fountains, and so much more. The pens scribble on paper furiously, and the entourage dutifully fills up their pages with notes on Camelot's state of disrepair and drawing up the map.
The bard takes you to the Temple next, where apparently there's another faction of Baphomets residing. Unlike the residents of the Tower, they are a peaceable and obedient lot. They will follow orders, though with great reluctance. All in all, this bunch reminds you of a bunch of Buddhist monks living in a monastery. Their object of worship is a round red stone called the Stane O Scone.
"The Rightful King Society!? You believe King Arthur will come back and rule? But she renounced the city!" You stare at the quiet group of Baphomets trying to clean up and repair the Temple to the best of their ability. The place is falling apart; you almost don't enter the building because it looks like a stiff breeze can bring down the place.
"My Pretender King, please understand. All the tales say that Arthur is the once and future King. This is but a test of faith and I----," a priestly Baphomet spends the next 30 minutes expounding his religious belief that King Arthur will return. They must remain faithful and wait for the true King to come back; until that joyous day, all others are Pretenders to be humored and meekly obeyed.
You have no doubt that if Arthur did return, these particular Baphomets would turn traitor and put her on the throne to rule Camelot. Whoever tries to rule this place had better keep an eye on this lot.
The Docks are the last place you visit. The bard warns you that these Baphomets are partisans of Mordred. It seems they were her favorites and sometimes journeyed on her ship to the islands across the waters. They are therefore the most worldly and battle-hardened goat men in the city. Which amounts to very little combat ability overall, but they do look piratical. Their 'Captain' is a one-eyed Baphomet, slightly taller than his fellows but not by much. You learn that Baphomets can evolve under certain circumstances and the Captain seems close to achieving that. The only evolved Baphomet at your command is Hanbei...
The rest were killed by Rodomonte through carelessness while Questing or went with Mordred on her Quest over the waters.
