"Someone is banging on the door!" cried Falco. "Ready your sword, Eodwine!"

Falco approached the door with a purpose, Eodwine following, sword drawn.

"Do not forget me!" Harreld cried, running after them with a slightly tipsy swagger.

"Nor me!" roared Garreth, wet and dripping from his head halfway down his chest.

"What weapons have you?" Eodwine asked over his shoulder.

The twins stopped and looked at their hands and about their persons: no weapon in sight. Garreth grabbed a stout chair.

"Nay, Garreth! Look to the hearth!" Harreld ran there and grabbed a stout poker and a shovel, handing the latter to his brother. "There! Now any ruffian will have four armed men to deal with." Garreth nodded and the two ran to the door where Falco and Eodwine waited.

Gudryn and Saeryn stood behind the table the six of them had been sitting at, their eyes wide and their slim hands gripping the tops of the chairs before them.

"Open the door, Master Falco," Eodwine ordered, standing before the door, Garreth on his left, Harreld on his right. Falco Boffin pulled back the lock and swung the door open all at once. A hooded figure fell sprawling before them. They were all standing over him in a moment, weapons raised.

"Name yourself!" Falco yelled.
