(@Alice: Sounds like a plan.

However, Matt's meal came to an abrupt end just as he picked off the last shred of meat from the snake. Something was watching him within the castle walls...Then, a metal shuffle was heard. Was it to the right? Matt Swiveled to his right side, but saw...nothing.
"Maybe to the left...", Matt whispered before hearing a gust roar above his head. Immediately he rolled left to dodge the new assailant as the humanoid stabbed the ground with an elongated rapier...no, it was long, but definitely not a rapier...it was specifically custom-made to be an extremely tall long sword.
As the humanoid rose, Matt found out that there was nothing humanoid about it. Standing with Silver Armor crafted with golden grooves, the helmet which jutted out a long rod hid a penetrating glare underneath. Once the knight regained his balance, he "danced" his way to Matt, weaving around like his movements were once martial arts in origin as he slashed down nearby statues.
[spoiler](No, seriously, I'm not trying to be erotic, this is an actual boss from another game. Hint: it's for the PS3, the most realistic RP since Elder Scrolls, you die A LOT, and his name is given away within the paragraph. Cookie to anyone who finds it!)[/spoiler]
Immediately, before Matt pierced his way to the heavens in the worst way possible, he reached his jabbed hand into the nearest Axe Armor to suck out his soul, gaining throwing axes in the process.
"Just a little closer..." Matt grumbled, as he waited for the knight to come within range. He wasn't so good at throwing, to be honest, but desperate times...
As the knight slowed down to give one last glance at his opponent, Matt immediately lobbed the Axe at his visor, connecting with the open slit to blind the knight. A VERY lucky shot. As the knight threw a fit destroying the statues nearby, Matt saw the opportunity to run into the castle for shelter.
"Would've REALLY liked to finish the bastard...but most of my gear was left behind at the campsite. And why did it have to be THROWING axes...?", Matt thought as he dashed through, unknowingly heading into the castle halls. "OUT OF MY WAY, BEFORE YOU GET A DATE WITH AN EXECUTIONER!" he yelled to the nearby creatures as he sprinted.

Meanwhile, at the castle gates, a stranger with a stylish (trench) coat covering his body snuck through the top of the wall. As he packed up his grappling hook, he spotted the now-blinded knight destroying statues worth thousands in gold.
"What a strange coincidence. I knew the inhabitants were blind in more ways than one, but this seems a bit much...tsk tsk tsk...Dracula would NOT be happy about this," as the stranger grinned while making his way downwards.
(Did they HAVE trench coats from the 1700's-1800s? Probably not!
