In a fit of inspiration you tug at the curtain. Vampires crumble in sunlight, right? Reluctantly, the curtain comes loose and tumbles to the floor. The afternoon sunlight streams into the room and falls on Walfreid. He throws his arms over his face and screeches. No crumbling though. Drat. Still, this buys you some time.
One end of your sheet rope is tied to the bed. You hope it's long enough. You throw the other end over the window. A glance back at Walfreid shows that he's stepped outside of the light beam.
