"He is right, you know? Until we learn what we are dealing with - there is no point to plan anything. Or worry, for that matter." Rose was sitting in the most comfortable chair the keep could offer gently plucking the strings of her lute. "And when he is agitated like that, you can not keep him inside anyway. So, relax and wait - we all deserve some rest."

From the next room as he’s departing you hear him raise his voice, “I heard that!”

"I would need a tree. I can't just make one out of nowhere. Also don't have it readied," Cobalt rolls his eyes as he turns back to discussions what about what to do if the keep defenses break, "Was just supposed to be a normal day," 

Art will turn to him, a quizzical note in his voice, "This is a normal day for us anymore."

Cobalt stares at Art, "When was last time you saw a Blue Dragon attacking a keep and a bunch of kobolds that could give us trouble?"

Art will think for a moment, "Three years ago?"

MrBlack will head off and attempt to use his imposter ability to infiltrate the cultists. Once embedded in their ranks he’ll attempt to learn what their goals are. It will take several hours of observation and patience however. Depending on how things go he may only he able to learn what he can observe from hiding. 

"Before I forget, if we need a big gun, anyone want to become an Ancient Dragon? Brass or White depending on perference," Cobalt offers when going over plans. 

Art will raise his hand, "Certainly sounds interesting. But only if needed."

"Fight dragon with dragon, yea I could be up for that as well if the situation calls for it." Zelroch chimes in.

"I only able to do it once to one person as it uses great amount of magical power to do so. If the need arises, I"ll see which of you is closer I guess," Cobalt says.

(There are other options but I think Dragons are strongest ones in brutal force at least)

Theuban has been distant since getting back to the keep, distracted as if he is watching for something no one else can see.  As the discussion turns to and then away from ways of getting the civilians out he snaps back to awareness.

"The need to transport large groups was not visible through the mists this morning...and so I am not ready with my teleportation circle.  I do have my more powerful teleport spell, but as you all know with it I can only move 7 people and myself.  If the siege holds for the remainder of the day I could prepare my teleportation circle tomorrow and use several castings to get all of the civilians out."

After receiving much thanks and congradulations from saving the townsfolk from the temple, the group is soon back with the governor atop the parapet.

"I'd love to know what we are up against here." The Governor says to you. "If you are able to do so, I would love to get some sort of prisoner to talk to." He nods to the various enemy seen skulking around the keep from your vantage. Then he points out a specific figure you can see across the ruined city. It is a figure wearing purple robes and with a dozen bodyguards around her. "I believe that is their leader, but I would suggest against going after that one. Any of those outside here will do."

Just then a cry comes up from inside the keep. A moment later a messenger boy runs up, out of breath. "Governor, it's the sally port... They are breaking through."

"we must stop them." The Governor says, turning to the group. "Please, will you help secure the sally port for us?"

"On my way, and if I am able I will attempt to grab a prisoner for you as well." At which point Zelroch takes off only to return a moment later, "Ummm, yea where is the sally port?"

"Sally Port is a door right?" Cobalt questions, "Point us to it and let's see what we can do. At the least, I can entangle them and then take our time," He'll make his way to the location after getting directions. 

Art will begin racing towards the Sally Port, summoning two new canons to crawl down his arms.

I presume Mr.Black hasn't had a chance to try his hand at infiltrating the enemy's ranks before the alert about the break-in occurs.  He heads there with the rest of the group with much haste!

 Sorry, no, things are happening fairly quickly once you got back.

Dain moves out towards the sally port with the others, his skull-headed axe in hand and ready to fight.

As the gorup races towards the breach, you spot a few invaders moving aorund inside the keep, but they all seem to be fighting with defenders, who appear to be holding their own.  The governor assures you they can handle the few who got inside, as long as you can reclaim the sally port and shore it up again.

As you near the area of the sally port you find a defensive blockaid set up, with defenders ready there and holding the line.  No enemy are in sight, but there is a broken down interior gate that leads into the sally port room.

"There is a group of em in dere."  A female warrior speaks up at the sight of the governor.  "Got one of those lizard things with em too."

"We need to clear that room."  The governor says, turning to the group.  "What can you do?"
