"We only have half an hour before this face is useless!" Thorn calls up after the others. He gives the gates a longing look, then utters a curse and storms up the stairs to follow the others. He could still flee if things went bad, but his chances would be better if he wasn't alone.
 


[sblock=ooc]We haven't heard from Squeal since we got upstairs, so let's make sure he's in on it. I'm pretty sure he would, though, so if we haven't heard from him by tomorrow afternoon we can head on up.[/sblock]
 

Squeal, Warforged Barbarian

Squeal retrieves his weapons and follows the group up

"Query, this one would like to know how the group will be deciding who to aid in the battle?"

For those who are watching, the warforged appears slightly concerned that the group might be giving away its chance for freedom.
 

Thomas, Summoner Wizard

[sblock=OOC]
Can I use a healing surge at this time?

And, can Thomas remove his armor as we go? Or stop a moment to do so?

Doren looks back to Squeal and speaks as lowly as he can over the sounds of battle...

"I may be a man of the law, but I certainly am not stupid. I'm curious to see what's going on is all, escape is number one on my list to serve justice to the one who has framed us, we were set free to gather information and thus this is what I am doing. I only wanted my weapon just in case we run into something unexpected." the priest said matter-of-factly before moving to see what's going on above...
 

[sblock=yzard]Don't worry about out-of-combat healing. I'll just heal everybody back up to full after every battle. With regards to armor, you can change it freely before this round of combat happens.[/sblock]

As you proceed carefully up the stairs, the clamor of battle seems to be punctuated by a pair of metallic roars. You hear a human voice cry for help, then a scream of pain.

As you emerge from the grand stairwell, you come into a room that looks like it was once used as a banquet hall. A few large tables are arranged around the room, and numerous ornate tapestries decorate the wall.

The other squad of guards has almost been wiped out. Two brave soldiers stand against a superior force. Two mechanical beasts, shaped like dogs and howling wildly, bite at the guards' arms. They're overseen by a massively built Warforged bedecked in a heavy black cape and a burgundy tunic: the traditional garb of The Cloak.

Both of the castle guards, suffering grievous wounds, strike out at the mechanical beasts around them. The first guard's strike falls short, but the second guard's target strikes true and dents the monster's shoulder-plating.

The dogs then retaliate against the guards. The first dog sinks its teeth into the guard's sword-hand as his swing misses. The second beast chomps on the hilt of the second guard's sword, and he swats the monster away with a hefty kick.

The Warforged, standing in front of the first guard, smashes a sturdy longsword into the guard's chest, impaling him. The guard spits blood, but does not yet fall dead.

Although the Warforged and his beasts are preoccupied with eliminating the castle guards, this force will surely pose a challenge to you.

Glad that the enemy has sent someone to feel Blackmoor's Justice, Torath is also distrought that the innocent must pay. "Creature of death and darkness you will rue the day you were made!" he says charging into the fight. Slowed down by the tables that are in the area he still makes it into combat with the metal monstrousity.

Doren wasn't exactly convinced this was the right thing to rush into but after Torath rushed in to meet the metal beings in battle his inspiration for doing the right thing welled within him and with a cry in Blackmoors name Doren also rushed into combat to join his ally in battle with the warforged!

"Concentrate on one at a time my friends... get the warforged!" the priest yelled...
