Excalibur #24 Spoilers

Sevalith: Betsy visits the Countexes of the vampire kingdom to investigate the assassination attempt in Avalon. As the vampires dodge all of Betsy’s questions, Captain Britain decides to talk to Death, Apocalypse’s son. Betsy and Death practice swordplay with each other, while speaking privately through telepathy. Death advises Betsy that tensions are rising in Otherworld and that he will stand by mutantkind if it comes to it. Betsy appreciates Death’s support.

Crooked Market: Gambit smuggles items from Earth to exchange for articles of Otherworld. Mad Jim Jaspers catches him red-handed and warns Gambit not to do business without his permission while giving a demonstration of his power.

The Floating Kingdom: Jubilee shares her concerns over Shogo with Roma, who advises her that the more time he spends in Otherworld, the less comfortable he will become on Earth. The idea of leaving Shogo alarms Jubilee.

Dryador: Rictor, Shatterstar and Bei the Blood Moon look for any residents left in Dryador, only to realize it is abandoned. As the door to Amenth is sealed, Rictor finally comes to terms with Apocalypse leaving.

Avalon: The next day, Excalibur and the Braddock family reunite to attend the Trial of the False Captains Britain (Rogue, Gambit and Rictor from issue #10) in the Starlight Citadel. While Saturnyne presides the trial as Judge, Betsy acts as their defender and appeals that they be spared and freed.

Merlyn interrupts the Trial and introduces a witness he has brought to speak on the dangers of mutants: King Arthur himself. Arthur gathers his army in Avalon with the support of other Otherworld kingdoms. The Captain Britain Corps take Merlyn captive while Betsy decides to speak with Arthur. Arthur claims that his son Mordred is cursed because he is a mutant and that Merlyn made him realize the truth about mutantkind. As Merlyn escapes, a war erupts in Otherworld, with the forces of King Arthur against Excalibur, the Captain Britain Corps, Shatterstar, Bei the Blood Moon and the Braddocks.
