Outside, from the rooftop above Bors, the crack of crossbow arms releasing broke the silence of the night. A moment later, both bouncers near the door flew back against the wall and then slid down it, their limbs splayed haphazardly.

There are two archers on the roof, Bors realized. How did I miss the second one? They had both let loose their bolts at the same time—an impressive feat.

The three beggars bolted forward, pausing only long enough to make certain the guards were dead before positioning themselves on either side of the tavern's door. The clouds drifted away from the half moon, painting the street silver as four more men joined the beggars. Moonlight glinted from steel in their hands. Bors was impressed with the execution of the ambush: killing guards silently was far more challenging than most realized, and attacks often failed because of a single mistake.

When the screaming began inside the tavern, the men opened the door and charged inside.
