You sprint across the street and bound up the tower stairs. You are halfway up when suddenly there is a loud clunk, and you look up to see a heavy wooden log, pierced by a criss-cross of metal staves sharpened at either end, come careering down the steps towards you. Frozen with horror, you can but stare at the brutal face of a Drakkar who is peering over the edge of the tower parapet. He guards this feeding tower and, with gleeful expectation, he watches as his 'toy', the great spiked log, bounces on the steps and spins straight towards its latest unsuspecting victim.
