The Avengers of Carrig
“Saikmar’s eyes sought the sword he had not dared to cumber himself with when he went to the parradile’s lair. It was as far away across the floor of the cabin as it could possibly be, hanging on the most distant wall, and before he could reach it Graddo could be upon him. Only two or three of them could enter the cabin at a time, but he doubted he could stand off even two. Sword or no sword, though, he was going to have to try.
“Move!” Graddo barked at last, when his patience ran dry.
“Graddo!” a cry came through the doorway. “Push ’em out to us! If they don’t want to go, we’ll just drag ’em!”
“I’ll do that!”
Suiting action to words he took half a pace toward Saikmar, making as though to seize him by the arm. What happened next Saikmar did not quite see; he was still poising himself to duck under Graddo’s arms and try a wrestling throw on him when Graddo abruptly was not there any longer. He was flat on his back with a startled expression and the girl Melisma was standing over him.
