>Morien waits for the others to speak before opening his mouth. "M'lord, I'll
gladly fight wherever you command. But it seems to me that the group going in to
find the maiden is the one where my axe is most needed. Also... If we do not
carry that trapdoor up to the great hall, our previous gains will be almost for
naught. For once the enemy is alert, no man can climb up that ladder without
getting brained. Whereas in a pinch, we can slam the keep door shut to keep the
enemy forces on the walls out, waiting for you to come to our rescue with the
rest of our forces, Sir Bege. Thus, I'd make the trapdoor the post of our
greatest strength, rather than the keep door. I hope you do not think me
presumptuous for advising you so, friends Tathal and Gwair. Finally, we ought to
have a ladder smuggled into the Gatehouse, as we sneak into it under the cover
of night... I'd rather appear foolish by having an extra ladder with me, than
have the attack fail because the
enemy has been paranoid enough to keep the ladders lifted up."

Tathal shakes his head "Nay, tis good advice as the idea of the ladder." He
smiles a bit "Being able to get back down from the trapdoor once you have the
girl in hand is a good thing. Gwair and I will defend your way out and in and
make sure that none trap us in the castle."
