Diego answers. "Well, I've already suggested focusing the men on our weaker points, such as our gates, and hauling up loads of stones to drop down on the invaders. Cael was wise enough to suggest setting them into piles and arming your swordsmen with clubs. That should help against skeletons. I would also start reinforcing our gates with barricades. What do you think about trying to light the woods around us aflame? It may help against the rotted undead and clear away some of their cover. Also, has anyone heard any word on the villagers? I fear for the loss of life, but I'm also afraid that if they are slain, they'll add to the numbers of our enemies."
At Deigo's comment about lighting the woods on fire, the previously reserved Weiss' face turns a crimson as he marches up to the other Warden. "Have you gone mad? Light the forests? The fires would spread uncontrolled, perhaps engulfing many of the small farming communities around here at worst, and at best, leave them starving once winter sets in for lack of game. Before we try such extreme tactics, perhaps we should at least wait and see what these creatures mean. So far they have not attempted to attack the keep, at night would be their best time as we cannot see well in the darkness. I cannot imagine what awoke so many undead, nor where they even would come from. Some foul magic is at work here. I would make sure we check on the health of the men as well. If some foul dark magic awoke these creatures, then the same person could try to weaken us first before attacking." the man states, easing up as he anger subsides.
