Lieutenant Ffinch's Sword
Lieutenant Ffinch draws his sword from its scabbard as military instincts spur him to investigate an owl's hoot and rustling noises on Culloden Moor. He raises his lantern alongside the bared blade, probing the shadows for threats staged by Polly and Kirsty. The weapon equips him for close combat, but his advance triggers the hidden animal trap, toppling him into vulnerability.
