Which best summarizes the events from the poem contained in these lines?

"When the sun was sunken, he set out to visit

The lofty hall-building, how the Ring-Danes had used it

For beds and benches when the banquet was over.

Asleep after supper; sorrow the heroes,

Misery knew not. The monster of evil

Greedy and cruel tarried but little,

Fell and frantic, and forced from their slumbers

Thirty of thanemen"
