"Say no more, say no more. You have a friend in Knives Beorn! A fed Barbarian is a happy Barbarian!"

Time to whip up sme trouble! I'll examine all egresses from the kitchen area, paying attention to places I can sneak, groups of enemies, especially unaware enemies, and isolated groups. I'll sneak out into the main hall or the courtyard, whererever is most advantageous, and begin making corpses. hopefully, my first attack can be a surprise, and I can kill a soldier from behind, in full view of his squadmates, striking fear into their hearts before I am upon them! Once I take down a group, if I am unseen by other soldiers, I will melt into the shadows to prepare for my next attack. Otherwise, if I am seen, I will locate a good position from which to take the next group while keeping my flanks secure.

I will, of course, be uttering various battle criues and songs of slaughter as I go!

"To the heavens, to the hells! I'll kill you all by nine bells! To the floor you will fall. I'll kick you hard in the balls!"

[Egan_BW]

"Bloody nuisance."

Put some heavy water barrels in front of the door down to the stairs and keep on through the other door.

[MidnightJaguar]

BARBAR suddenly startles awake atop the wall, grabs his sword and starts to move east, laying into any guards there.

[Devastator]

Knives exits the kitchen, and sneaks through the alleyways between the buildings in the courtyard.  As he sneaks around, he notices that the road through the pass runs through a tunnel under a brick wall that divides the two towers.  Looking left and right, Knives decides to start from the middle, climbs the brick wall over the cart road, and ducks down a trapdoor into the small passageway above the tunnel.  Doing so, he begins to make his way down the narrow passage, killing as he goes, and leaves more than a dozen dead as he walks his way through the passage east towards the two towers.

The end of the passageway has another hatch leading upwards, as well as doors leading towards each of the two towers.

Barbarisan blocks a staircase, and proceeds out the other door.  This door opens onto the front wall of the fort, above the main eastern gate facing the desert sands.  There is a squad of soldiers here, eyes gazing upon the empty sands, looking somewhat confused at the alarm and frightened.

They would have not much time to be frightened, as Barbarisan expertly clears this wall, from south to north, stabbing and slashign like an avatar of destruction.  At the end of her spree, she stands before an identical door on the north side.  There was also a third door that must lead down to the gatehouse, but Barbarisan was otherwise distracted.  Or, she could jump down onto the lower wall section that runs the length of the fort, roofing the tunnel for the gate.

BARBARBARBAR climbs into the fort, and heads east.  As he passes the curve of the wall, he can see Barbarisan ahead, slicing through guards like the expert she is.  The huge man is no slouch, and covers her back by taking the guards on this wall, several of whom have bows, and works his way towards the door leading into the southern tower.  With great poise, he leans on the tower wall beside the door, and waits for reinforcements.  A group bursts out of the door, heading towards the front wall to surround barbarisan, but are interrupted by the very large barbarian and his very large sword, who takes them from ambush.

[Egan_BW]

"Uh, this way I guess!"

Run over to the other tower to clear it out.

[Ozarck]

So, there are two towers on tehswest side of the tunnel pass, and two towers on the east side of the tunnel? and a courtyard with a kitchen and all that on the west side, where I came from just now?

Beorn decides to try some diplomacy, and knocks politely at the door to the northern tower. He asks to see the "King" of this fortress.

[Devastator]

The towers are on the east side of the fort, facing the desert.  The tunnel is enclosed and runs from the east gate to the west gate without opening onto the courtyard.  The tunnel building runs between the two towers for part of it's run.  There is a courtyard west of the towers, divided into two parts by the tunnel building.  The desert is to the east of here.  You entered from the mountain to the south of the fort.  There is another mountain to the north of the fort.

You came from the courtyard, climbed the wall of the tunnel building, entered in a hatch you found on the top there, and proceeded down the narrow hallway that runs above the cart road through the pass.  You're at the east end of the tunnel building, facing two doors that open onto each tower.

(I'll go change the description a bit, I had it described badly.)

[Devastator]

Barbarisan finds a room much like the one on the southern tower, full of torches and such with a stairway leading down.  This one, however, has yet more guards in it, who get killed one-by-one until the room and stairwell are draped with corpses and a thin river of blood runs down the stairs.

A moment later, Barbarisan hears a loud knocking from below, followed by a shout of "Bring out your King!"

Beorn knocks on the door to the north tower, loudly, and shouts "Bring out your King!"  No response is heard, although Beorn could swear he heard the sound of fighting behind the door a moment ago.

[Egan_BW]

Go open the door for Beorn.
"Hey. How many have you killed so far?"

[Ozarck]

I killed a pint or two. Good times, sister, good times. Thought you might want some company. I made some friends. But they're not exactly the fighting type, heh heh. Well, we've kicked the nest, shall we knock it over, then?

Follow Brabarisan around and kill fighting types that don't submit.

[Devastator]

The two barbarians meet up in the starwell, exchanging a mighty brofist over the corpses of fallen enemies.

An extended meeting ritual later, the two Barbarians poceed through the single unexplored door in the stairwell, which they find secured against their passage.  Behind the door, things are unusually silent, as if it opens on nothing more than a large, empty room.

[Egan_BW]

Shove a spear through the locking mechanism and open the door.

[Ozarck]

Chillax while Barbarasin does what she do.

[Devastator]

Barbaristan looks at the locked door, and attempts to force it with a mighty stab through the lock.  Unfortunately, to her suprise, the door is not locked, but barred, and a powerful stab through the handle simply bangs into a iron-banded wooded beam dropped in place behind the door.  A loud sound is the only result.

The noise does have some benefit, for when the banging sound rings out, someone jumps in momentary suprise, revealing to the two barbarians that there are several people inside the supposedly empty room, likely waiting in ambush.

[Ozarck]

Ooh! I know! Fire always resolves stalemates. Let's cook!

Beorn gathers burnable material to pile up against the door.
