The elvenkin showed their gratitude by warning the small band of the Ferocious Monster that lived in the lake sorrounding The Black Knight's castle. With the sense that they had just accomplished a worthy feat, the mighty band of knights continued through the forest. After apace, they reached the foot of the mountain wherein the Black Knight's castle was situated.

Sir Brown, on his trusty steed Mithrandir, chose to disdain the path that wound around the mountain and instead rode his stallion up the side of the mountain to the top, whereupon he waited for his other companions. Now reduced to a threesome, the smaller band carefully followed the narrow path around the mountain.

Thereupon the trio met a band of monks, who were also travelling to the top of the mountain. These good Christians wanted to see the Holy Grail, which now dwelled in the Black Knight's castle. Lady Kyle of the Cross joined the monks for apace as they slowly chanted their way along the path. Sir Wrigley came up with a devious stratagem and dressed himself as a monk, for surely the Black Knight would let a group of pilgrims see the Holy Grail unmolested.

Sir Finch bade Lady Kyle to accompany him ahead, for the monks travelled too slowly to suit his decisive demeanor. So now the trio had became a duo and they continued along the path, bypassing the pilgrims. And rounding another bend the two brave knights came upon a mighty Goat of Unusual Size.

"None may pass without paying the toll" sayeth the goat to the two travellers. Woe to the good knights, for they had nothing to give to the goat, except for their arms or horses which they would need in their Quest. Sir Finch and Lady Kyle tried to outwit the mighty goat, but it refused to let the duo past it.

Whereupon Sir Wrigley and the monks came upon the scene. Now having Sir Wrigley's Mace of St. Cuthbert to aid them, Sir Finch decided to strike at the Giant Goat, who now waited for the trio of valorous knights. The Giant Goat struck Sir Finch several times as Sir Wrigley smote the beast with his enchanted mace, knocking the fell beast to the ground.

Realizing his grave danger, the cowardly goat begged for his life. Lady Kyle made the goat swear to not bother their band again, and with that oath made, the knights and monks continued upwards. It was late in the day when this unlikely band of travellers reached the top, where Sir Brown waited for them.

With two challenges down, the four knights came upon the third challenge. For sorrounding the Black Knight's castle was a splendid and pristine lake. As they approached, a towering Sea Serpent reared up to regard them. The Serpent seemed to blot out the sky, such was its massive size. "None may cross this lake" sayeth the Sea Serpent.

Sir Brown spake "We are here to give the Black Knight mighty arms. Surely he would want us to cross so that we mayeth give these arms to him properly."
