Chapter 4: The Siege of Ravndal

Plot points/Scenes

The group quickly set to work defeated the Alterians garrison within the city. Melkam Crowskull ordered them to be ready and to help fortify Ravndal as best they could before the Alterian regiment from Altest arrived. They worked through the night setting traps and preparing. By morning the enemy had come and the battle began.
The fight began on the walls. Alterian soldiers rushed in formation while being peppered with arrows and bolts from the defenders. Only once did some of the Alterians make the wall but even they were quickly repulsed as Bosh push off the lone soldier to climb to the top. Tua made a magnificent display as he leaped down to the swarm of soldiers below and wreaked havoc on the Alterian shield wall. A messenger arrived and told the group of an Alterian squad of saboteurs attempting to blow up a section of the wall.
They arrived to find barrels of explosives placed against the wall but the saboteurs held at bay behind a dugout. Bosh, and Tua jumped down and began to harry the enemy. Bosh destroyed the explosives by breaking the barrels and pushing the gunpowder into the small stream. Tua took a beating but he killed many of the enemy.
After defeating all of the saboteurs they heard a horn marking the unexpected arrival of Tomar Crowskull and a group of 1000 warriors who had taken a secret path through the mountains. The group joined up with Tomar and headed out to flank the Alterian force.
Tomar charged the group with slaying the commanding officer of the Alterians. Bosh, Tua, and Ulysses found themselves facing their former commander whom they had betrayed. Bosh wading into battle swinging his mace, Alterian soldiers flying left and right. Tua faced down an oncoming cavalry charge and faced the High Marshal Darlen while surrounded by the enemy. Ulysses fell to the ground prone to line up a shot on the marshal while surrounded by incoming cavalry...
Though the battle was not easy and and many wounds were suffered the Sozarian dwarves emerged victorious. Melkam and Tomar thanked the group and gave them a rich reward for their help. A few of the dwarves decided to travel and start new lives in Boshton .
