Merik didn’t seem too interested in the goings on of the other soldiers on the west gate. The one he only assumed was in command was talking to him while the large lizard checked the fortifications keeping the gate closed. He did what he could to move problem pieces of rubble out of the way and was able to find a hand full of small round beams sharpened at one end. Clearly meant to help with fortifications but not being used right then. The soldier seemed to want to move him along but Merik would not be moved, [color=39b54a]“they were testing. Merik will stay here.” [/color]

Among the whispers of the other soldiers another voice popped up while Merik was gathering a few more of the beams. The wooden pillar’s looked more like small logs or sticks in his hands.

[@Inertia][color=#FF9900]"Prince Leonidas says we have to be at the keep, can't have you wandering around because, well, you know."[/color] The young man said to him. A cheerful lad and a fun one to scare or play with occasionally.

[@LadyRunic]Soon another had joined them before he could answer, the elf of their party. Someone he has tried many times to tell him where she comes from but always seems to change the subject on him before he catches on. But a friendly face none the less, part of the prince’s team. [color=39b54a]“Merik will stay.”[/color] The lizard spoke with a smile then sniffed the air, [color=39b54a]“Merik thinks this be good place to find fight. Hello Zanna.”[/color] The hello seemed strained but he was trying.

His instincts soon proved correct with the ringing of a bell, the enemy was coming once more. The walls where soon abuzz with the soldiers rushing up the walls with bows and rifles in hand, the thunder tubes always got his attention. He stayed were he stood only turning to look up at the walls when someone yelled incoming. The two stone boulders where an unfortunate sight, it meant they would have to go over the wall if the cannons couldn’t reach them.

 The tremor of one hitting the wall only made him grip the wooden poles more. Then the other that came just over the wall hit the top and damaged a building. He only got a glimpse of Ruduf trying to help others out of the ruble on his way up to the top. What he saw when he got up there made him smile.

A large group of goblins coming toward them behind their shields. They had stopped for a moment and made a rudimentary shield wall. [color=39b54a]“More rocks will come careful!” [/color]the large lizard shouted. It only took him a moment to gauge the distance from him to the goblins. Holding one of the wooden pillars in his hand like a javelin the large reptile through the beam right into the middle of their formation. Then another and another laughing as he did it. Truly he was showing off his strength to the human soldiers near him.
