Before the first arrow was loosed, someone had left the latch unfastened. My new iron hinge held the keep shut while the host recovered, and I am done trusting wooden pins; ask Niko, Bianca, and Allie Blu, who inspected it first. A hinge. Niko, Bianca, Allie Blu.

Cathryn Furr said "My new iron hinge held the keep shut while the host recovered" — I request a drawing of what Allie Blu did to that latch, since words haven't settled the matter. Take it from a lord who's lost the argument—and more keeps than most—when folk blame the hinge before showing the hand that left the gate wanting.
