A scene
Twenty sentries and twenty archers guarded the Bridge Tower Gate on the Middle Ring of Atlantis, and the wizard Phaidon only needed to get past the six on the bridge itself. He walked up to them at midnight and spoke one soft word. Five of them sagged against the parapet, then slid down it, snoring. The sixth yawned hugely, shook his head, and reached for the bell rope. Phaidon had not expected that. He hit the man with his staff, then stepped over the five sleepers, who would not stir for an hour.
