Ignoring Brannor's first remark, given how he too knew the door would have been fixed eventually, but better it be sooner rather than later. Soon, he heard some sense come from the human's direction however and that was worth replying something to. "[color=red]Aye, big guy. We 'ad this door guarded and barred, but sumfin' went wrong. Let's make sure that ain't takin' place again, for you ain't the only one opposed to returnin'. Ya could start on it already if you'd like[/color]", Escobert replied to Brannor as he personally toiled to help Parum in her task. He then proceeded to call a couple volunteers from the next room to fetch more barricade worthy material.

A few minutes passed with the guards bringing in more material to block the port with, the people setting pieces in place and, if able and willing, preparing the barricade on the parts of the door that were already fixed. During this time, a man covered in a torn robe and stained bandages arrived. "[color=b870a1]I trust this was important, castellan, for you've interrupted my rest[/color]", they said as they walked into the room, soon continuing: "[color=b870a1]But I fail to see why calling upon me was necessary.[/color]"

Escobert was quick to reply: "[color=red]Lake, these 'ere people 'ave already given me a fair share of attitude. Ya dun' start with me now. 'Sides, ain't like anyone in this 'ere keep is gonna rest well this night. Join on in, we need ta fix this.[/color]" The newcomer did not much more but rolled his eyes and joined the people working on the door with a casting of mending.

They had just reached the final moments of repairing, as a group of enemies approached from the outside, a group of kobolds and less armoured humans, one of the latter frantically pointing towards the port and waving their other hand at the two better armed individuals. The one being spoken to nodded, spoke a few words that couldn't be heard this far, sending the other one back the way they came from and personally charging the door under repairs, closely followed by the weaker henchmen. "[color=red]Hold the door![/color]" Escobert yelled. "[color=red]We are nearly done! Keep the barricades in place![/color]" he ordered to the ones not currently actively repairing.

Anyone willing to drop what they are doing to block the advance of the enemy should roll Athletics and press against the door/barricades with their full strength.
