Farm Building Escape Door

A heavy wooden door at the rear of the farm building, bearing the marks of repeated pressure against its frame. Its hinges creak under the combined weight of Turlough and Verney's battering, the wood around the lock splintering as desperation mounts. The door's stubborn resistance crumbles just enough to provide an escape route, though not without cost—each thrust jars their shoulders and reinforces the futility of their confined state during Sir George Hutchinson's war games.

The heavy wooden door, reinforced with iron bands and splintered by earlier escape attempts, finally gives way under the combined weight of Turlough and Verney’s shoves.
