It had a window, so you quickly grabbed the monk by the shoulders and threw him out, then you locked the door before blocking it with his bed. While Ehrenfried opened the shutters that consisted of the window.
<span class="mu-i"> ''Konrad is on the lookout for us; blow that horn you have with you to signal them to the beach.'' </span> You told Ehrenfried.
Ehrenfried did just that, and while an angry mob was busy assembling behind the door, which you had now placed all the furniture you could find against. The two of you stepped up to the window.
<span class="mu-i"> ''Ever jumped from this high?'' </span> You asked.
<span class="mu-i"> ''No, and I'd rather not after this, but we don't have much of a choice now, do we?'' </span> Ehrenfried replied, looking down at the waves below. With a deep breath, you both climbed out onto the ledge. You took another deep breath, tightened your grip on your sword, closed your eyes, and jumped.
You felt the wind slide past you as you quickly descended, diving feet first into the sea. You took a deep plunge, but within a few seconds you were on the surface, as was Ehrenfried. Both of you quickly began swimming to the shore, where the horsemen had just assembled.
Exhausted, you came onto the shore, wet and cold. You were quickly given your horses. And while the monks had only now figured out that you were on the shore, by the time they would come to this beach, you had already left. You stopped once to change clothes and dry yourself before riding off quickly.
