Doctor's Winchester '73

The Doctor grips the Winchester '73 rifle tightly in the monastery entrance, its long barrel leveled at the Monk's chest as he demands answers on meddling with 1066 history. The Monk smirks through the threat, calling it a fitting disguise. Sven bursts in with Ulf, wrenches the rifle from the Doctor's grasp during the ambush, and clubs him down, flipping control to the Vikings.
