Yuz
Captain, leave the slits to me. Hold the main gate or we are both dead.
Harold Blackhoof
The wood groans under the weight of the spears outside. Yuz is right, but the shadows in the arrow slits are already dropping into the room.
A lithe figure lands silently on the stone floor, his blade dripping with venom. Behind him, two more follow, their green eyes glowing in the gloom.
Yuz
They are inside, Harold! Keep them off my back while I brace this rot!
Harold Blackhoof
Get behind the table, Yuz. I will handle the vermin.
Harold Blackhoof
My ribs flare with every breath, but I cannot let this hold fall now. Not after everything.

Harold Blackhoof
The first one lunges, a blur of motion. I sidestep, feeling the familiar weight of my horn catching his shoulder.
The assassin slams into the cold stone wall, his venomous blade clattering uselessly away. Harold Blackhoof follows through with a crushing strike from his heavy bracer.
Harold Blackhoof
Not today, scum. Not while I still draw breath.
The Intruder
The Minotaur is faster than the rumors suggested. This is not going to be a simple kill.
Yuz
Behind you, Captain! The other two are closing in from the flank!
Harold Blackhoof
I can feel the bite of the mountain air and the slickness of spilled blood on the floor. I have to finish this before they overwhelm us.
