The Blackguard

"Lawrence knew he had run out of time when he heard the window shatter. He grabbed a cudgel from his bedside table and crept downstairs. as he reached the bottom of the stairs he could see the intruder in his home, hiding in the corner, the symbol of the blackguards on his coat. He raised his cudgel to defend himself, but felt something pierce his chest, from the other side of the room lied a second assassin with a crossbow. They proceeded to loot the house and leave, the tale of Lawrence the Defiler is gone."
