Tower Assault

After successfully taking the tower we turned around to figure out how to defend it for the time needed between opening it and when the ships would make it into the harbor and be able to assist us. Aeldrith and Sig set about to do some rather conventional barricade work while Mairi and Eoghan were working to setup a few surprises on the approach and the landing. We set about to open the doors and send up our magical flare and hunkered down behind our barriers. While we were able to take some prisoners on our initial assault and the others were able to cause some pause in the attack, it did get joined and in earnest. Sig got of a prodigious number of shots and ended the encounter with the use of his flame breath, Aeldreth worked to shore up some barricades before jumping into the fray, Mairi and Eoghan mostly stayed back some taking down their share of the traitors with bow and spell.
 
The reinforcements arrived and swept into the protected harbor with almost no wake much to our surprise and impressment. The docks area was taken swiftly as well as the walls all along the inside of the fortress. The inner starfort with it's hedge maze however still loomed large.
