Hey there, hon! I guess there were about 100 fans. About as many as I'd been expecting, but certainly more than on previous days.

I'm glad you're enjoying my little updates!

No, I can't think that Merlin was ever up there. The only scene I can think of when he was up at that height was during the famine in The Labyrinth of Gedref, when he was empathising with Arthur's man-pain. And that, as I'm sure you know, was on the opposite side of the courtyard. However, given my memory, I could be forgetting something very significant!
