... Tathal looks relived that they are alive and then leaps to his feet, sword still in his hand. He scans the courtyard one more time and then takes off...
Morien comes at a run across the courtyard and bursts through the door to the sitting room of Lady Briant's chambers. Tathal at his heels. Glancing around he...
... Tathal would laugh if the situation were not so serious. So instead he calls out "Wait! Your mistress is in grave danger, you must let us pass!" ...

... Donngal speaks hastily, warily glancing out toward the hallway. "A night watchman has been murdered, Aelfric, strangled with a wire and left in Patris'...
... `Morien trusts no one, except those who share his grim view of the world. I would reserve my judgement on Patris, at least `til he has the chance to...
Tathal's words gives pause to the woman before the door. The missle is stayed long enough for Lady Briant to call out, "Is there something wrong Ffraid? You...
... Tathal bows to the lady, feeling slightly ashamed at his mussed hair and winkled clothing. He glances towards the door and then speaks "My lady, we have ...

... *snip* ... Meanwhile, Morien nods his assent to Tathal's plan. But as he steps out of the room, he hears Donngal's shout of alarm. "Invaders! Get the...
At Tathal's suggestion to alert Lady Annest, Morien nods his agreement and moves down to the Lady's door and begins hammering on it, calling urgently for her...
... Donngal, wild-eyed, looks at the fallen guards, then to the ladies. Torn, he turns to call after Morien, "Morien, I must help these men to the tower!...
