    We turned him down. "We have our own way of filtering water--through clay jugs. They're #porous: the water goes through, but not the contaminants."

    "A clay filter's not good enough to catch all pathogens," the man scoffed.

    "Our defense is going to be #porous," Curtains admitted. "The trick is to leave an obvious opening Codwaller can't resist, draw him in, then spring the trap."
    Curtains explained the plan. Roughneck grinned.
    After making a show of force on the roads, Curtains redeployed his full force into concealed positions in the forest.
    By the time Codwaller realized they were surrounded, it was far too late.
