*after a long day and adventure to Thazar keep, jay enters the chambers of the Burning House of Kossuth. He sits down at the desk, his journal still being there, he opens to the next available page with a already dipped ink-quill and writes..*
Interestingly enough, our venture was in vain. We were sent to the advancement camp, but the troop was very light north of Pyarados. We were encountered by tribes of mountain giants, orcs, gnolls, ogres, and even a white dragon in Shar's pass... We tried to find the troop that was suppose to be reinforcements from Thazar Keep, but when we got to the pass.. the entire Keep was gone. The Thazar pass was empty, it was as if the land was never built upon. We were cursed by the full moon that night, Lycanthropes attacking at full force.. We decided to return to Pyarados and report to the Tharchion.. I mean an entire keep vanish into thin air? I've been to it several times before. I am to keep to this matter with the village and such until it is resolved, as the burning house sends me..
*he then sighs, and sits back in his chair. He drops his quill on his journal, and then doses off to a nap with the sounds of Ishtishites being tortured in the background..*
((Jay's Dream from the previous thread reply.. It was a flashback of when he was with his nine other brothers, in a mercenary keep assault to a local lord.))
*Forests surround the keep. On the general region, around a couple hundred feet away, they hid in the trees, watching the Keep. It was a basic design, four walls and four watchtowers in a square shape. Archers patrolled the walls and watchtowers, the entire Keep being about 100 strong. It was noon at time.*
"Vego, what do your eyes see?", Cal calls up from below as Vego scans the keep from the trees. Vego, keeping his eyes on the keep, talks down below with less volume. "Five guards on each wall, three archers in each tower." He said. Cal nodded from below. Vego climbed down the tree, being careful not to make too much noise. The other brothers sat below, sharpening their weapons. Jay and Bahal were sharpening their weapons, while the others were making sure their armor was fastened tight. "Thisss isss a retrieval missssion, we are to retrieve the gold that the lord here sssstole." Salk hissed at his other brothers, reminding him of the situation. They all nodded in sequence, with them all standing. "We head in through the back stair then?" Aslah asked, Peregrin sitting on his back with his daggers at the ready, Aslah's half-spider body supporting him. "Aye," Cal replied.
Bahal and Jay smiled at each other, they were ready for battle. They all, simultaneously, started to head out. They all stayed low, emerging from the cover the forest gave them and dashed to the side entrance of the keep before they were seen by the high wall guards. "Aslah, Peregrin.. You two climb the wall and attack from above, take out as many guards as you can." Cal said, making sure they both nodded in sequence as they were given their assignments. "Jay, Hypen, and Pias, you three are to head into the center courtyard for the main engagement." Pias' werewolf head bobbed in sequence, a smile clearly seen on his drooling mouth as Hypen and Jay also nod, Hypen's jagged teeth giving a smile as well. "Brol and Vego are to head inside the inner chambers and retrieve the stolen gold, while me and Salk will provide ranged support from above." Cal whispers to all of them. They all nod, but the silence is broken by an arrow whistling past Cal's ear. He turns slowly, almost dead frozen as he sees a watchtower archer notching another arrow, shouting to the entire keep that intruders approach.
Brol sighs, his broad shoulders settling and his half-orc face settles. "Well, so much for that plan.." He grunts out as he runs first, ahead of everyone, up the staircase into the northeast watchtower. Cal couldn't help but chortle out a laugh, as they all head up the staircase one by one, with the sounds of shouting from the keep soldiers entering the air around them.
