The revealing of the ranger had made the Faithfuls wary. There were some mighty warriors hidden among the otherwise so perfectly peaceful and nonviolent villagers. This night they advanced with great caution and sneaked to the hut of their victim silently. To their surprise, though not to their comfort, they found the door open. Carefully the three figures entered the room. In the dim light they saw their victim lying in her bed, fast asleep. Without a sound they gathered around the bed and drew their swords and on a silent command two of them mercilessly stabbed the sheets and whatever lay beneath them. Then they took away the shredded cloth to find that under it there was...
Nothing but sliced pillows.
They had been fooled! In fear they turned around to protect themselves against what ever attack. And they were right in doing so, because in this second, from a dark corner of the room,
Thinlómien sprang onto them with naked blade. Two of the Faithfuls quickly caught their wits and jumped aside, but one hesitated too long. Several quick stabs of
Thinlómien’s sword dispatched him.
Not wasting a moment, the other Faithfuls attacked the hunter in the nick of time, forcing a sword through both, her chest and her back. Assuring their success, they twisted their blades and cut
Thinlómien in half.
“That was slightly more nerve-wrecking than I expected” said one of the two, breathing heavily.
“You are right, but in the end, we have brought our victim to death.” answered the other
“Let us hope we will have an easier play the coming nights.”
They went to their fallen comrade and sighed.
“This was frighteningly close.”
“Indeed. I admit now that it was a good idea to bring this straw puppet. It saved our lives tonight”
