"Yes, have they?" Savra asks. Rada doesn't remember anything which feels significant--except for the presence of towering elemental monsters, that seemed to command the destruction.

Rada shakes her head no in answer to Iroas. "I'm afraid not," she says. "There were some kind of elemental monsters, but that's about it."

"Well, no need to dwell on it right now," Iroas reasons. "Let's prepare our gear and the hippogriffs."

The party gathers their equipment and saddles up their hippogriffs, meeting the guards at the edge of town. All three look quite shocked at their choice of mounts, and one of them (a blonde woman) remarks, "Those might reach the keep faster than our horses."

"Well, we can either walk them on the ground instead of flying them, or we can fly ahead and scout around while you catch up," Iroas offers.

"It might be best if we show up first," Rada says. "They probably won't expect us to have backup."

"Alright, we'll go on ahead then, and you can meet us there," Iroas tells the guards.

After a few hours of flying, Savra, Iroas, Rada, and Migor arrive back at the Keep. They spot two or three guards at each wall, but the interior seems very sparsely populated. After landing some distance away, Savra asks, "So, what's our plan?"

"Well, we can hunker down and wait for the others," Iroas answers. "We can try to sneak in and get a better idea of their numbers and defenses, although last time that didn't go so well. Or we can just burst in now, and let our reinforcements mop up when they get here."

"Well, we risk getting overwhelmed if we just burst in," Rada points out. "But doing it that way might give us a little bit of a surprise on them. They seem to have relaxed their guard."

"Relaxed, or understaffed," Iroas agrees. "Either way, we might be too much for them now. What do you think, Lady Savra?"

Savra nods enthusiastically. "Yes, I think we could have taken them on directly even the first time we attacked the Keep. And we've gotten stronger since then, and they've gotten weaker. I think we should burst in."

"Alright. Shall we divebomb in with our hippogriffs, or go over the wall like last time?" Iroas asks.

"If we are going to barge in, then I would say we dive bomb," Rada says.

"Alright, let's go after the wall guards first," Iroas says. "They'll likely call for help again, and everyone left alive will rush out to face at once, like before. So be ready for that."
