We should be keeping count so we know when we reach 30; I think we're up to
11 now(there are two of every tromino except 'c').

This ends the round, with 3 points for me.  The referee should

Subject: Acka: Lantern

"I should just take the diamond and get out of town," Stutim thought as he
waited for the gap in the vigilance of the Palace guards that Welecta had
predicted.  So far the High Priest had been 100% on the mark.  Maybe
that was why Stutim hadn't tested his assurance that his dark magic
would find Stutim if he tried to flee.

He made it over the wall, the new leather gloves finding purchase easily
even through the ice.  He was safely esconced in the snow-laden branches of
a big spruce tree by the time the guards made their next pass, and only a
few flakes of snow had fallen to the ground to mark his passage.

From there, through the branches of other trees and up icy walls, he made
it easily to within sight of the Princess's window.  However, as he
crouched as far out on one branch as he dared, there were still twenty feet
separating him and it.  Taking a deep breath, he moved back a few feet on
the branch, then gathered himself and made a running leap.

Maybe his foot slipped on the snowy branch; maybe the warm garments Duncan
had provided hadn't kept out enough of the chill.  Maybe it was just too
far.  But he knew by the midpoint of his leap that he wasn't going to make
it.  Desperately, he flung his hands upward and his feet forward, just
barely managing to catch the window ledge as he tried to cushion his impact
against the wall.  After a few seconds to catch his breath, he managed to
pull his face level with the ledge.
