The doors were pulled back and a bright splash of sunlight came into the cellar, followed by Lars.
He saw that Betsy had gotten one arm free of the rope and it was sticking out of the ropes above her shoulder. He walked over and gave Miss Betsy a hard kick in the side of her head with the toe of his boot.

Sir Stud felt her go limp. Lars said, "Go ahead, try to get free, you will never get out of here. You only have until after sunset to live anyway.

I am going to kill you both even if we get the gold. Your Knights will never find me where I'm going."
He turned around and walked back up the ramp slamming the doors shut. Sir Stud said, "Betsy...Betsy...BETSY, wake up." There was no response, he couldn't feel her breathing and could no longer feel her heart beating against his chest. He felt the rage start, he twisted and pumped his muscles for all he was worth and felt the knot give slightly. He strained against Betsy with all his strength knowing that he couldn't hurt her and finally the ropes gave enough that he could slide his arms out.
He used his hands to slide the rope down to his and Betsy's waist and managed to pull his legs out.
He was so livid that he couldn't hardly breath. He finished removing the ropes and rolled Betsy over on her back and put his ear to her chest.
There was no sound.
