Sir Stud, kept looking at Betsy and saying over and over, I am so sorry, I am so sorry.
He had hunkered down against the wall at the base of the ramp and tried to formulate a plan but knew no matter what happened, it would happen quick.
It seemed like it had been dark for hours when
he heard the bolt being drawn back, the doors were thrown open and a man came down the ramp holding a lantern. Sir Stud hit him just under the knees with the dirt filled sack and was rewarded with the sound of cracking bones.
The man rolled down the ramp, writhing in pain and grasping his legs.
He was followed by Lars.
Lars jumped off the ramp as Sir Stud swung his bag and it just caught his feet. Lars hit the floor in a heap and Sir Stud was on him, hitting him in the head with his fists.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp burning pain in his back, the man had come up from behind and stabbed him with his dagger. He tried to stand and turn around but Lars had hold of his ankles and he fell to the floor.
Lars stood over him his nose and face bloody, took out his own dagger and said, "Is there anything you want to say before I remove your head?"
Sir Stud tried to speak but he couldn't catch his breath, he thought maybe the knife had punctured a lung.
Lars fell forward and hit the ground hard, the other man turned just in time to lose his own head to a broadsword.
Sir Sonic had come down the ramp in time to hit Lars in the back of his head with the butt of his sword and then dispatch the other man.
