"I never turn back, love. It's one of my worst traits."

Ambrose smirked at hearing this. Working with this woman would surely be interesting. They ascended the wooden staircase as normally as possible, trying not to look out-of-place. He opened the door, letting the group into the keep. Ambrose loosened his sword in its scabbard, drawing the blade as smoothly as he could. With it fully out, he headed straight for the door Caleb had directed, when suddenly, a guard appeared in front of them, just as they were entering the light of a candelabrum.

The man was alert, and rather than greet them, immediately looked over Ambrose, saw his naked sword, and shouted, "Intruders!" He turned and bolted the way he came, undoubtedly seeking safety in numbers. Ambrose immediately charged for the young lord's door, ramming himself into it. It shuddered in the frame, and he started hearing more cries of 'rouse yourselves,' 'Intruders,' and 'To arms!'

"Tangle, Priam, I think you will need to provide a distraction," Ambrose ordered, taking his dagger and slamming it into the lock of the Lord's door.
