They have stopped for the night. The other Knights are setting up camp.

Let's Go On An Adventure

"Merlin, give the dogs some water, why don't you?" Arthur demanded from beside the fire. "Or spend some time with the beasts?"

Mind you, he had a plan, but unfortunately, Merlin didn't know that.

His heart raced. With what daylight that remained, he could see the drool coming from the dog's mouths.

Like the foaming at the mouths of Cenred's dogs.

Merlin stumbled backward, suddenly wanting away from the dogs. "N-no, Arthur. I w-won't."

And he fled.

...

The dogs chased after him. Merlin used their growling as an incentive to keep running.

Merlin had another small flashback with the "foaming" thing. Arthur's dogs' drool is completely different from the rabid drool

Yes, Arthur does have some kind of half-baked plan that I will better explain later.
