Ian filled his allies in on the legend of the Green Knight during the plane trip.
"The Green Knight came to Camelot one Christmas," he had explained, "to challenge Arthur's knights to exchange blows. Gawain accepts the challenge and strikes off the Knight's head. The Green Knight retrieves his head and asks Gawain to meet him at the Green Chapel

Oh, look, a Black Canary. She lashes out with her leg, her arm lashing out in another direction. A metallic sphere, no bigger than a golf ball - leaves her gloved hand and lands a few feet away, in the midst of a few gunmen. That sphere is a relic from when she hadn't had her Canary Cry, but she kept it anyway. She could use them up close in battle without killing anyone.
Electronic canary cry. Thank you, Barbara.
The sphere hit the ground and a scream rang out, taking down the gun men around it while Dinah concentrated on the two on hand and foot.

They're inside a grand hall, with long wooden tables set in four rows down the room, and medieval food in various stages of consumption all down the length of the tables. Columns help provide structure, while banners hang from the archways. Ivy wraps around the columns and up the walls, giving the entire castle a verdant appearance. At the front of the room is a throne, and set above the throne, into the wall itself, is an axe.
For a moment, Ian seems like he might complain to Peregrine about the method of transport, but then he notices the room, and all other thoughts are forgotten. He begins to take in the details of the room, not noticing the men in green masks coming out of the hallway on the other side of the room, aiming their guns at his back...
"..Yes! This is definitely the Castle DeHautdesert!"

...no. That's not the real axe. He's sure of it.
As he glances around, he notices other carvings in the wall which appear to be axes of various designs.
It's one of these... if he can just find it...

Here. This room used to be the master bedroom. He's sure of it. The bed would be... there...
And above it? Seemingly carved into the wood paneling of the room...
The axe he's been looking for.
He reaches for it...
