Darr threw off the cloak and handed his burden to Alth. He crept up behind
the stable boy, and quick as flash, knocked him unconscious with the hilt
of his dagger. Turning to the horses, the young rogue pulled three from
their stalls. He led them outside, giving a lead rope to Alth and Rahm.
They mounted, Alth tying Attaly's sack to his horse's saddle. When they
rode off, Cal and Griffith Quickly took horses of their own, saddled them,
and galloped after the now visible trio. Neither group noticed the young
stable hand in the darkness.
