Joined by 2 NPCs (arcanist and marksman), just for this Mission. On this Mission there are two opportunities to raise either Christian or Old-Faith.

Some non-spoiler hints I wish I knew before starting King Arthur Knight’s Tale.
Heroes only gain experience through the Training Grounds, infrequent Events, or Missions. [Rare boosts to experience occur via Shrines and Tomes.] This makes it difficult to maintain a cadre of more than about 8-9 Heroes. Keeping more Heroes will likely lead to under-leveled Heroes trying to complete higher level Missions. You can efficiently select Heroes by sticking to one Morality axis, e.g. Old-Faith/Tyrant, or Christian/Rightly. However, you can still just choose whatever Heroes you like; just keep the roster lean and mean!
Once you’ve completed all the goals of the Mission, you will see a glowing “Finish Mission” button on the right. You can leave that be and walk around the map to collect any other loot or fight any non-essential battles. If your Heroes aren’t too banged up, you want to fight those battles to increase the experience gained (see Experience Limitations above).
I play on Normal difficulty because of the wild difficulty spike on the last Mission of Act 1. Otherwise, Moderate would work for me, a very average gamer.
I’m afraid I cannot recommend Ironman mode because the game crashes about once every 10 sessions, and that is annoying enough to me, let alone losing an hour of game. I suspect this is due to the heavy drain this game pulls on my fairly decent machine. See my machine specs here: About VGOG
Campfires allow you to replenish either some Hit Points or Armour. How much depends on your difficulty level. You do not have to use a Campfire when you find it– you can come back later when your armour/HP are more depleted. You can also save Shrine bonuses for later, since most Missions have one final “boss” battle.
Some battles can be approached from different sides. All units get a backstab bonus, so if you can enter a battle behind an enemy, that’s an advantage. Similarly, which direction your Heroes face at the end of a turn matters. Don’t set yourself up to be backstabbed!

Map is incomplete– several encounters are avoidable, and difficulty level is quite high. Hero is Lady Guinevere, who fights with you but does not join Round Table yet.

I found the final battle here to be a crazy spike in difficulty, even on Moderate. [I completed it one notch down on Normal]. You cannot change difficulty once on a mission. You can only change difficulty on the world map or in Camelot.
