Brand's keep

The party prepared to defend the keep with brazen courage, after Drogon decided to immolate the defending soldiers that is, he was quickly subdued and thrown back into the front line. The leader Brand, her first captain Melvor and their lead scout Ellwyn also fought alongside them as well as clergy member Mordai.

An ogre’s roar could be heard, and the gate was immediately barred. Arrows whipped through the air, felling the odd defender who tried to fire back.

The gates soon burst open from the ogre’s attacks, showering the defenders with a hail of splintered wood an iron. Orcs started to appear from the forest and charged towards the open gate, throwing their javelins at our heroes. A costly victory, Barry, the tinker became Barry the Ogre slayer before being felled by an arrow, his memory will live on. The Orog leading the band watched on, getting tired of his forces being blocked by the shield wall and summoned his dark goblin shaman who came scrambling through the woods with a chained old mage. Using black magic, the shaman took control of the mage and puppeteered him to casting a fireball on the defenders. Moredai’s hellish rebuked cause some of the explosion to backfire instantly killing the frail mage. The Orog then ordered a retreat into the forest under the cover of arrow fire.

Post battle a Drogon decided to attempt getting his revenge on being captured and attempted to assassinate Melvor before being restrained by his own friends and the party are now being expelled from the keep. Where will you go now? Continue eastwards, or head back westwards towards Amberglade?
