As Gawain cuts down his final opponent, Lancelot's adversary falls to his knees in front of the knight and cries out "Mercy!"
Gawain looks over the ramparts and waves to Dina, indicating she can climb up now.

Dina picks up a few arrows from her pack to refill her quiver and pulls the string tight to make sure that she didnt lose any on the way up and started to climb.

Dina manages remarkably well for someone who isn't skilled at climbing ropes. The rope sways a little, but she manages and Gawain needs only to pull her over the top.
"Gods," he sighed. "That was one hell of a fight. Pity I had to leave the bandages and salves with the horses."
He tore strips of cloth off his tunic to bind his wounds.

Dina held her hand out meaning that she would help him to bind his cuts.
"Are you alright Sir Lancelot?" She asked, looking over to him

Gawain handed Dina the strips of cloth.
"Maybe our prisoner can tell us where the dungeons are," he said to Lancelot.

"I'll be fine," Lancelot said to Dina with a smile and then grinned at Seren, "You really helped me out back there, thank you."
Then he looked to the guard who surrendered and pointed his sword threateningly at him, "You on the other hand, did not help me at all. Now I have a couple of questions and I have a habit of knowing who is lying to me," He said, menacingly," Two Princesses are currently in this castle, and they shouldn't be, where are they?"

Dina finished with Gawain and stepped back. She studied the guard too, before taking her bow back in hand, to feel the comforting weight

"Not in the dungeons," the guard said. "At the top of the tower. Not near this section of the walls. The furthest tower from here. That's what I was told. I never saw them."
Seren said softly "We druids believe in helping those we can, and I am determined to see those poor ladies rescued."

"It would be as far away from here as possible." He looked at Gawain to see if he had heard the man.

GAwain nodded. He had been listening to the conversation.
"What else do you know?" He asked the guard. "Is the tower guarded?"
"Yes, sir. There's two guards at the foot of the tower and one outside the door."
"When do they next change dut?"
"Midnight, sir. They change every six hours."
Gawain looked at Lancelot. It was late in the evening, likely before midnight, so they would want to avoid the next changing of the guard, or else take advantage of the confusion. He leaned close to Lancelot and whispered "Any more questions? We should kill him if not. We don't want him overhearing our discussion."

Lancelot nodded at Gawain, having already knowing the man would have to die.
"How can I get to the dungeons from here?" Lancelot asked, glaring at the man again, "And what guards are there?"

"Dungeons are in the main keep, lowest floor. There's a door to them from the eastern side of the castle. That's not so far from here . There's two guards inside the entrance, and a guard outside every cell that has a prisoner inside. So usually that's four or five, sometimes more," the guard explained. "Plesae, sir, don't kill me! All I did is serve my lord!"

Lancelot glanced at Gawain and then pointed his sword at the man, "All I am doing is serve mine," he said and pushed his sword through the chest of the man, where he thought he heart was as hard as he could, to hopefully kill him quickly.

The man choked and gasped as blood spewed out his mouth and chest. His body went limp and fell to the ground, dragging Lancelot's arm down where it clutched at the sword.
"It had to be done," Gawain murmured, as Seren squealed buried her face in her hands.
"Perhaps we should put on their uniforms, if they're not too bloody. Then we can pass unnoticed through the castle."

Dina had not looked away at the mans death, instead sighing lightly.
"Seren are you still alright to go with Sir Lancelot?"
