Merlin couldn't imagine what he would need this much for. “What's all this?” “Wild garlic for tonight's stew.” Gaius swept the greens off the table and started making his way to the cauldron…

The most efficient way of doing this is by gaining the trust of Merlin and using him as a close ally in the game. Once the player has discovered they are Mordred, the planning must begin right away.
