How did King Arthur die if he had a magic scabbard?

Morgan had stolen Excalibur and the scabbard when she plotted to have her lover Accolon fight Arthur to take over the throne.

So he didn't have it in the battle of Camlann when he fought Mordred.

Also, Lancelot broke the rules, and Arthur needed to be sure not to play favorites so people would question his authority. Those are just a couple of ideas for starters, I'm sure others will have their own ideas to share.

How does sir gawain breack his promise to the lord?

After he finds hospitality at the home of a great lord, Sir. Gawain enters into a pact that the lord is willing to share all from his hunts with Gawain as long as he shares whatever he has managed to acquire during the day with the lord. The first night, the lord's wife, enters Gawain's chambers and steals a kiss. When the Lord returns with the spoils of his hunt, Gawain gives him a kiss. The next time, it's two kisses. Again, Gawain kisses the Lord twice in exchange for his meal. The third night, the lady is a bit more bold and instead of just stopping with the three kisses, she also gives him a magical girdle. At dinner time, Gawain shares the three kisses, but not the girdle. It turns out, this was all a test and once the Lord found Gawain did not share all of his earnings, he became angry with him.
