[QUOTE="ahayford, post: 5697667, member: 6680745"] [B]The West Gate[/B] Svexyn deftly clambers up the gate, looking more like the inn's namesake than man. As he peers over the stone arch of the gate, he sees the still hungry flames consuming the remains of the pyre. Those beetles not lucky enough to escape roast and pop and in their shells. Svexyn glances down at the base of the gate to confirm his fears. Several adult beetles and a host of smaller beetles are frantically digging at the earth beneath the gate to escape the heat of the flames. They seem to be making progress and you expect they could emerge inside at any moment. While not the bulk of the swarm, you guess they could still wreck some havoc. Marcus and Nia organize the remaining guardsmen into defensive positions as Svexyn relays the information. Adofo hefts his heavy sword and laughs boldly [color="orange"]A heroic last stand! HAHA! This I can understand[/color] Adofo spits into his palms and takes a defensive stance with the rest of the warriors Orin calmly picks up his cudgel and stands next to Marcus, obviously willing to fight and die to protect his homestead. [sblock=ooc]All those at the west gate, please roll initiative.[/sblock] [B]Tamecia's Cart[/B] Caytis rushes across the courtyard to aid Tamecia and her girls. As you get closer to the cart you can make out the tell-tale glow of fire beetles against the wall. You are unsure of where they have come from, but it looks as if there is only a small number harrassing the cart. The younger hillfolk have begun swinging lose boards, sticks, and whatever they can get their hands on to keep the beetles out of the cart. A sickening crunch, followed by Tamecia's crazed laughter signals a kill for cook. [color="purple"]Come on den crawlies. Who be next in me pot?

Several porters have to dodge out of the way as an unhitched horse gallops down the road on its way out of the Lucky Monkey. Its eyes are crazed and it is clearly spooked. [B]At the East Gate[/B] Valinnan looks on as the work of the porters is nearly complete. It won't be long now before the caravan can move. Valinnan looks up from his work when he notices the sounds of terrified animals. Across the courtyard, in Garthun's camp, He sees the animals being harassed by several large beetles. Somehow they have gotten inside the wall. The beetles are tearing into Garthun's cargo, consuming anything they can find.
