I’m a bit mixed off. Obviously the old adress is mentioned the challenge intro twice. How do you expect to receive anything?

Got and reply email sent. Thanks.

Corrected now. Thanks for pointing that out. Awaiting Excalibur…

Excalibur is underway.
Actually, the corepiece of the hak is not the blade, it’s the pedestal. Hacked a bit the original Bio model.
If the sword is pulleth out, the effect is visualized on the pedestal - it’s empty now. And the templar-symbol is removed.
The sword has a little extra, it removes the immunity from critical hits on the target. But I suggest, not to use this in a serious module.
Don’t want to worry you but… The sword in the stone and Excalibur are actually two different swords. In the legends Arthur is given Excalibur by the Lady in the Lake. Paraphrased and condensed from Mallory’s 15th-century Le Morte d’Arthur -
early in his reign Arthur breaks the Sword from the Stone while in combat against King Pellinore, and then on Merlin’s advice he goes to be given Excalibur by a Lady of the Lake in exchange for a later boon for her

“On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place!”
And then there’s the classic. . .
“Camelot!”
“Camelot!”
“Camelot!”
“It’s only a model.”
According to Wikipedia:
Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone (the proof of Arthur’s lineage) are in some versions said to be different, though in most incarnations they are the same.
Simplest solution is to have the two swords as separate entities though. Avoids nit-pickers like us from chiming in then 
Anyway, what I want to know is this - is anybody going to create the iconic characters from the stories and legends (in addition to the green knight) - Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Morgana (aka Morgan le fay, etc.), Galahad, etc. (other knights are available)?

There is a nice module on the vault with Gawain and the Green Knight
Well that might be. I confess, that I didn’t read Malory. (But there are nice illustrations though.)
As a matter of fact, most modern variants of the tale tend to simplify the things a bit: There Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone is identical. (to say nothing of some other dramatical changes in the story).
Samples:
Bormans Movie Excalibur
TV-Series Merlin
Enigma Island 3
However if somebody really wants to use it in a module, he will probably be able to do the neccessary tweaks according to his needs. And my script could be used to exchange any placeable.
Some premade NPCs/Creatures from the arthurian mythos. Their stats are mainly based on the AD&D manual “Legends and Lore”. Which is a 2nd edition manual that adapt several mythologies around the world to the AD&D rules; And has an entire chapter dedicated to the arturican mythos.
I also have used as reference the D20 manuals “Avalanche Press - I, Mordred - The Fall and Rise of Camelot”, and “sword & sorcery 3.5 - relics & rituals - excalibur”.

Anybody know if there is an existing ccc creature with the proper bones that I can turn into a
Questing Beast?
Actually I’m considering to make a questing beast, combining deer animations with some of the cobra-snake…
Best I can come up with, from those pictures at least, are the set of 6 Oriental Dragons by @Shemsu-Heru from the Custom Content Challenge May 2013: Dragon Stuff.
TR
They use the mist dragon animations…
Alright I’ll leave the Questing Beast to you @Shemsu-Heru,
I have a half a dozen squires and bunch of Random Npcs
I will color coordinate their tunics with some of your knights
I haven’t decided yet. Any way there is no reason that both of us won’t make their own version of the beast…
