...Or similarly short bit of writing, but that's not as concise. Stolen whole from lambwolfandman so I probably don't know what I'm getting myself into. Take your pick, and I'll (try to) write it!

It's not cheating just because it's easy :P

He was getting too old for this. Pretty soon Gerda would have chop his legs off to stuff him in any more barrels.

Good incentive not to let her sneak up on him again.

All his blood was going to his head. He stretched as much as he could and rocked his weight until the barrel rocked on its base and started to topple. He might have bruised something when it smacked onto its side, but he wasn’t out yet. Time to roll.

A minute later, the barrel wobbled around him, and then he felt it start to fall.

It bounced down the stone steps once, twice, and shattered at the bottom. The youngest Lord Gromgard picked himself out of the splinters, nodded to the watching servants, and strolled away a bit unsteadily.

He was really too old to be letting a six-foot woman in plate armour get the drop on him like that. It was starting to get embarrassing.
