He put his shining armour from him and wrapped himself in a dark cloak and went on foot to the dun of Nuada. He struck the brazen door, and the Guardian of the Door spoke to him from within—

“What do you seek?”

“My way into the dun.”

“No one enters here who has not his craft. What can you do?”

“I have the craft of a carpenter.”

“We have a carpenter within; he is Luchtae, son of Luchaid.”

“I have the craft of a smith.”

“We have a smith within, Colum of the three new ways of working.”

“I have the craft of a champion.”

“We have a champion within, he is Ogmai himself.”
