### Synopsis

The city was under attack. Jeidobii’s niece and nephew, children of the Duke and fallen Duchess, were rushed to safety. Our party navigated the mayhem in the streets, making their way to the castle walls.

Torq and Denahi called out to the townspeople, advising them to seek refuge near the docks. They spot a large and well-armored dwarf directing people and arming himself. He wears armor and weaponry adorned with the images of his family. Torq calls out to him, “Join us, friend!” Harken accepts.

“My children are thirsty!” With the mighty dwarven smith and warrior Harkin Durakfurge accompanying, the party continues on to the walls as trebuchets fire flaming boulders, raining destruction upon the city. The party makes their way to the walls just as the archers let loose a volley of defensive fire. They are decimated by the trebuchets in response.

Burakubuu turns to Torq, “You’re a man of battle, a commander, and I trust your judgement in these matters. I will follow your word from here.”

The orcish army rolls siege towers onto the battlefield and they begin their approach. Torq spots an unmannned ballista and he and Harken take it up, firing upon the encroaching enemies to great effect. Buu joins them. Jeidobii steps out and looks upon the battlefield. He turns his gaze to the skies and his eyes go white. Dark clouds swirl in and upon the battlefield and a storm is summoned. Jeidobii begins unleashing powerful thunderbolts upon the enemy. Denahi tosses fireball after fireball at the towers and together with Jeidobii they set both aflame, burning many of the orcish invaders alive.

Yet still some make it to the wall and spill out upon the defenders. Harkin is quick to the fray, swinging and cleaving like a madman. Burakubuu takes to the other side, immediately downing two orcs before ripping off his pants in a moment of mad fury. He stands before the invaders naked and fearless, intimidating them into inaction.

Or maybe it was just confusion. Probably. Mostly that.

Just then something swoops down upon the battlefield, dropping some kind of devastating grenade upon the enemies. It’s Zin, wearing some kind of makeshift winged contraption and tossing jars of... corrosive pickles? He calls out to the party, “You’re running my experiment! What are you-all doing having a battle on my testing grounds!!”

Zin goes for the landing upon the castle walls and... doesn’t quite stick it. He crashes and faceplants. Buu helps him to his feet. Zin raises his head to the big, blue, buck-naked Buu. (I like alliteration, okay?)

“Here!”

He hands Buu a jar of pickles. Buu thanks him and proceeds to try and place the jar securely around his nethers.

“No, you idiot! Throw it!”

Buu acknowledges and throws the jar down at the ogres beating upon the walls. The jar shatters upon impact, blasting them with acidic damage. IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

Just then, Torq spots a large shape on the approach:

“MAMMOTH!!!”
