Back To The Front
Go Time! Round 3
Evening, Partly Cloudy, Warm
Thamansa takes a moment to admire her handiwork from an elevated position on the blue balcony. She can see her fires spreading as a dozen or so humans run around in the dusty ruined carnage trying to put it out. And yes, there is plenty of screaming to be heard.
Shozbot throws open the hatch at the top of the ladder to even more panic and confusion above. He enters the stables and the animals inside freak out. The orc doesn't let that bother him in the least, charging over towards an opening in one wall that leads out to an open courtyard. Horsefly quickly climbs the ladder next, sticking his head up through the hatch to a very strange sight. The goblin doesn't see any horses like one might find in a normal stable. These animals are all horse sized, but one has black and white stripes, another looks deformed, with 2 huge humps atop its back. And so on...... Kermut mounts the ladder and climbs up behind the goblin shaman. There is a small stairway which leads up to a normal wooden door at the back of the ground floor level of the stables.
Othrod and Horny Carl stand on the ledge just outside the smashed walls and newly destroyed tower as dust and small debris rain down upon them. The bugbear is hesitant to enter the keep, wondering if something is wrong. As they stare into the destruction, a human voice calls out from the top of the lower wall.
"MONSTERS! There are monsters at the outer wall!!! They are coming in where the tower fell!!!!!" The pair can see movement through the dusty chaos inside. They hear the sound of a crossbow fire as Carl takes one bolt to his shoulder from somewhere on the wall.

Ondrake smiles as he crushes in the skull of the poor lone guard at the gate with his magic leg bone club, killing him easily with one heavy blow. He sees another guard just on the other side of the makeshift gate, and 2 more appear on the catwalk 20 feet above him. That pair fire crossbows at the giant, but both of the bolts fly wide. These men also begin shouting about giant monsters coming through the front gates. Ondrake spots a small human sized door in one of the grates. None of the bars or grates look like they would stop the giant if he wanted to tear through them to access the inner courtyard.
Thamansa turns around to investigate the blue ball behind her when suddenly a thin ray of light appears in the room. The tiny beam is coming in from somewhere outside. It enters through the balcony and hits the blue ball directly in its center. The Bugbearess has absolutely no idea what might be happening in here now.
Screams of anguish begin to ring out above the din, warning all around of the immanent invasion.
