"Let's go along the streambed. It seems fastest and safest to me." Tina says.
The darkness helps as you make your way towards the base of the hill the keep resides on. The area is steep enough that you have to dig into the hill to help get yourselves up, but the going is slow. As you make your way to the corner a sentry at the top of the wall calls out. "How's there? Identify yourselves!"

"Townsfolk, seeking shelter in the keep." Tina calls back.
"Oh? Oh... those are children. I thought they were kobolds!" the guard calls back.
"Hurry get to the corner and head to the sally port. Its right before the gates."
The group pulls themselves up to the dark walls and Tina looks around the corner towards the gate. Seeing no other door she calls back. "Its well hidden, keep your hand on the wall as you move and you'll find it."
Gutter nocks an arrow and covers Tina, William and the others as they move out. Her hand on the wall suddenly hits open air causing her almost to trip. The walls are so seamless that from a distance they looked like one and the same. Looking inside the group finds a heavy oaken door with an iron portcullis dropped before it.
Filing into the small alcove they bang on the door and push the children forward. In moments an muttering dwarf has the oaken door opened and the portcullis lifted. "Showing everyone our secrets before we can use them. Darn that guard I'll have him cleaning latrines for a month."
All the same he ushers the group and family into the safety of the keep.

Kalina collaspes onto the top of a stack of crates just inside the door, and Gregory and her children surround her everyone hugging and kissing the tops of kids heads. Gregory looks over to the three companions standing next to the dwarf who has just closed and locked the door and portcullis, and mouths a "thank you".
William and Tina both set down their large sacks full of odds and ends and stretch their aching backs a moment. The dwarf passes them eyeing the sacks sideways and then says
"Excuse me, I need to go see about closing the main gates now that the sally port has been exposed."
Gutter grunts a reminder to the others, "Church," he says gruffly.
