Merlin and the storm
By sacrificing Merlin to the great sea god Manadwyn, Nimue summoned a storm to wreck Arthur's fleet, and with it his chances of defeating Mordred. Throughout the storm, though, Merlin's corpse was seen to be floating behind Arthur's ship, shielding it and its crew form harm. When the storm abated, Arthur's was the only ship of the invasion fleet still floating, forcing him, Guinevere, Derfel, Ceinwyn, Gwydre, Seren and the remaining wolf tails at Mordred's mercy.

Round Table
The myth of the round table stems from a simple table in a small pavilion on the grounds of Camelot where the knights of Uther and the young Arthur would have a few drinks and be merry (and in one memorable setting Mary).

The Knights of the Round Table
King Arthur's round table was notable, not for its shape, but for the ideal it represented. At the round table no one was head or foot, but all were treated as equals. Here some of the knight meet with the King after a sucssesful quest to retrieve the Holy Grail to reaffirm their vows to the kingdom and each other.

CCC XI
Arthurian Scene
491AD, Mount Badon, England. Following the departure of the Roman forces from England, Anglo Saxon warriors have come to the island (possibly from invasion or as employed mercenaries).
With the Anglo-Saxon's growth in power and increased land in the islands, the Briton Kings (Romano-British) joined together under a war lord named Ambrosius Aurelianus (Arthur) and formed an army. Meanwhile Aelle of Sussex pushed further west with his Saxon army threatening to take more land.
The two armies met and fought at Badon Hill, where Arthur inflicted a severe defeat on the Saxon army. The victory stopped Saxon expansion for the next fifty or more years, giving the island a rare interlude of peace and prosperity.
Exactly where the battle was fought, how it was fought, the composition of the armies, and exact details of Arthur (Ambrosius) are open to interpretation. I have taken the date from Bede's 'The Ecclesiastical History of the English People' and the story line is heavily inspired by Bernard Cromwell's trilogy on Arthur.
This scene shows Arthur and Aelle in the final moments of the battle.

This should be working
It was the day Arthur tried to pull the sword form the stone. It also happened to be the day the dwarves decided to make the under ground highway.
