Caedren moves behind a stout oak tree. The antlered sword - given to him by Shadrath, snags on a low tangle of brambles. He curses silently, then pulls it free. He glances up at the tree - though none of the branches are within easy reach, one thick, gnarled limb could be jumped too. He then brings his attention back to the wall, and crouches even lower, his eyes fixed on the ramparts, just as...
Dravis watches Drilk move into the undergrowth. The wolf is quickly lost within the shadows of the forest, and the druid looks up to the wall, looming directly above him. As he moves back, his fist thuds on the tower door, the large wrought iron padlock rattling very softly. He looks over at Caedren, remembering the two keys the warrior carries. He then refocuses his eyes on the wall above, hoping that the angle isn't good enough for any sentries to see down, and realizes that....
Aerlyn lets Fallon hop onto her shoulder. Crouched behind a dead elm tree, she can see Dravis very clearly, but Caedren is obscured from her view. Fortunately, Aerlyn still has a clear view of the wall. Fallon suddenly nips at her ear. Through the bond she has with the owl, she can tell he is unhappy at the situation - and very sulky as a result. Doing her best to sooth the bird, she looks up at the wall, only to see...
An orc warrior move to the lip of the wall. He carries a shield on his right arm, emblazoned with a twisting rune - legible, but indecipherable. In his other hand, a great ram's horn is held, the tip bound with silver. Dressed in furs, and leather, a curving sword hangs at his right side. He surveys the forest edge, then shouts a question in orcish. In almost exaggerated surprise, he looks down to see the two dead sentries, laying next to the path. His gaze travels slowly towards the door - it appears that Dravis will soon be discovered.....
