Sylvia nodded to her friends when they affirmed that they were ready. She listened as Shor gave his advice regarding if they run into Red Stain. She nodded to him when he told them to go, and she lead the way to the crocodile. Once by the crocodile's side, Sylvia would prepare herself by activating her satyr stance. She wanted to be ready to move, and the satyr stance was the best way to do that, albeit that's the only stance she knew right now. She had her tonfas armed as well. She was ready to go. She stayed by the crocodile, speeding up or slowing down when they needed to in order to reach the passage leading into the fortress.

There were no more words. The final battle began.
Longstrider blew into a large horn to signal the kobolds to move. Yorik gave a hearty warcry as he and the other kobolds, equipped with war darts and shields, charged forward. Alongside them was the giant crocodile and your team. Almost immediately the troglodytes targeted the crocodile, firing their ballista bolts right at him. Fortunately the trogs were not familiar with the weapon and most missed, and those that didn’t ended up hitting the wooden armor.
“Don’t get cocky! Dere shots are whiffing cuz we’re still outta range! Shits gunna get intense when we get closah!” Yorik roared. As he shouted the trogs started dividing their shots between the giant crocodile and the kobolds. They got lucky a few times and some of the kobolds were killed by the balistas, but were encouraged to continue onwards. “No turnin back! Dis is a fight get yer home! Fer yer people! And fer yer pride!”
Finally after a little under two grueling minutes of running under cover, the army was about five hundred feet closer. Yorik’s group split off from the giant crocodile to further divide their attention, making a storm towards the gate. The giant crocodile charged forward however, it’s rider shouting something over the chaos. “He says he’s going to get us to the passage!” Pylia translates for you. “But we have to be quick if we don’t want them to notice!”
And finally it was the moment of truth. Three hundred feet closer and you were getting close to the passage. By now the crocodile was within optimal range of the balistas, and it was only due to good luck that the crocodile has only taken minor damage. The kobold shouted something and started moving away. “He’s going to distract the defenders for us, let’s move!”

At first, Sylvia had been confident and stoic as they charged into battle. However, as they continued on, Sylvia found that finding the passage was easier said than done. She couldn't see a darn thing other than what was set aflame by the trogs and kobolds. She muttered to herself when she realized this, "Oh no..."
While she was doing so, she tried staying close to the crocodile in order to stealth by and use it as cover. She was quietly panicking! If she couldn't see the passage, then how were they going to get there? However, that didn't work out as planned. The crocodile seemed to bring attention to her and her friends instead, and they started firing at her! She told her friends as she ducked, "Guys, I can't see anything! I need help finding the passage!"
That's when Shortfang came in to help. She moved to investigate with him accompanying her, since he could see in the dark. Thanks to his help, she was able to find it. But before she could say anything a bolt was shot towards her! She closed her eyes, readying herself for the pain. However, it never came...
When she opened her eyes, she gasped sharply. Shortfang had taken the shot for her...!
"Shortfang...!"
She was scared. Thankfully, it turned out that he was still standing, but the fact that they were still firing spurred her to act quickly. She called to her friends, "GUYS! THIS WAY! HURRY!" She then ran to the passage, and while she and her friends were running, the bolt managed to strike Buddy.
It wasn't long before they reached the passage. While Pylia healed Buddy, and Buddy started repairing himself, Sylvia turned her attention to Shortfang. She spoke while catching her breath, "Holy shit, Shortfang! Are you okay?!"
He took a bolt for her...! She felt guilty and grateful. As much as she wanted to thank Shortfang, as well as tell him to never do that kind of stunt again, she knew they had little to no time to rest. She hastily pulled out her last healing potion and handed it to Shortfang and she told him, "Here. Please, drink this!"
After Shortfang got some needed healing, she called to her friends, "If you guys are ready, we should continue on,"

Shortfang wasn't looking too hot. He had deflected that shot off of his buckler, which messed up his arm bad. Taking your option, he also took out his own potion, removing the corks with his teeth before downing both at once. He immediately clutched his mouth to prevent himself from puking as he drank down the bitter brew and his arm audiably began to snap back into place. The bruises faded, the cuts were removed, and his mangled arm turned back to normal. He was trying his best not to scream in pain as he struggled to his feet, taking his crossbow out. "Aaaaah... We go."
Everyone else steeled themselves as they ran down the narrow tunnel. At some point Buddy got stuck, but with a bit of brute force he simply pushed his way through and would follow close behind. Shortfang took point since he had very little issue moving through and eventually he'll stop as he points towards a small crack at the end of the tunnel. Beyond the tunnel you could ear the cacophony of war, of trogs stomping around, firing the balistas, and generally panicking and shouting. This was where they had to bust on through. "Here. Buddy, you break through. Then we all go and fight. Okay?" Shortfang had his hand crossbow and shortsword in hand. Buddy was ready to break through the wall. Pylia cast a quick and quiet prayer over the group. You could feel a divine energy flow through you. Once you were ready as well, Shortfang gave the countdown. "Okay. On three. One... Two... Three."
Immediately Buddy rammed through the stone wall, surprising the four trogs who were there. As the group moved in Pylia immediately blasted the nearest troglodyte with an orb of fire, burning his face as he dropped what appeared to be large arrows. Buddy stepped forward and cut the troglodyte down before stabbing the opposite end into the one to his right. "Take em out!" Shortfang roared as he aimed his crossbow towards the trogs to his left.

Sylvia winced as she heard Shortfang's arm snap back into place. She could see that he was trying not to scream out, and she was just stunned. He was going through all of this pain...because he took a bolt that was meant for her...! She could have deflected that bolt, but he took it....! She was silent when Shortfang finally stood up, ready to fight.
Sylvia steeled herself as she moved through the passage with her friends. When they finally found the slight crack, she prepared herself. She nodded at the mention of the countdown, and she tensed as they slowly counted to three. On three, she shouted as she ran out after Buddy and Pylia made their attacks. She headed for the first troglodyte she could see, and she swung her tonfa before kicking the troglodyte into the wall.

He dashed right on in just as one of the trogs got stabbed in the ribs by Buddy. Before he could even set down the arrows, your tonfa collides with the trog's skull, breaking it open as he falls to the ground dead. Without losing any momentum you quickly traverse the tight corridors, your Satyr's stance allowing you to easily bound over the barrels and other obstacles as you kick through a bundle of balista bolts and into the chest of another trog. He stumbled backwards in pain just in time for Shortfang to shoot out his knee with a crossbow bolt, and then jamming a sword right into his neck. The blade went into one side and out of the other, causing the beast to go limp and fall. The last surviving trog had a mixed look of fear and fury, and despite how much damage your team committed, it seemed like he was going to fight to the bitter end.
Behind you, you could hear the sounds of more trogs coming at you having heard and seen the commotion. Three come charging right out towards the group but an unknown forth fired an arrow right at Pylia. However even though she didn't know where the bolt was coming from, it merely struck her warclub, which was unaffected due to the magic currently surging through it. "More to our right! Let's take them out!" Pylia shouts as she summons another orb of fire to hurl at a trog, burning his shoulder as Buddy engages it. His first attack missed, getting buried deep into the stonework. But Buddy wrenches his axe out and lunges with the pointy end just in time to cut the trog across the face with the spike, doing some serious damage despite his initial mishap. So far the attack was going well, however you cannot afford to slow down even a bit. The rest of the army outside was relying on your team to open the gates and cause chaos and destruction among the defenders. A quick glance around you would easily tell you that you don't see anything resembling a wrench or level to open the gates. You may need to explore other parts of this wall to find it, but you have a lot on your plate right now as is.

After doing that much damage, she looked to the trogs and saw that despite their fear, they were going to fight to the bitter end. She sighed shaking her head and she muttered "Don't they know when to quit?" She then hears the trogs coming from behind. She turns to face them just as Pylia blocks an arrow from one of the trogs. She decided to focus on them, since she would rather not be overwhelmed. Shortfang can handle the one trog on the other side.
She moved to stand next to Buddy, hoping that while she moved in that direction she could potentially find the lever or some way to open the gates for the kobold army. She struck the healthier trog with the tonfa first, hoping to do significant damage to it, before finishing off the trog Buddy attacked earlier with an oncoming punch.

Your tonfa struck the sternum of the trog hard, causing him to curl up from the pain as you sucker punched the trog neck to him. His neck twisted violently as he spun towards the ground, dead as can be. Meanwhile as Shortfang attacked the other troglodyte left behind, the one you struck lashed out at you, biting and tearing into your arms. But before he could go and bite your neck, Buddy grabbed him off of you and buried his blade into the throat of the troglodyte. However it was at that very same moment that Pylia screamed as another trog managed to reach her, biting into her arm in surprise. You felt the divine magic flow out from your body and vanish as Pylia lost concentration on her spell, though she managed to at least avoid further attacks from the trog and smashed it's face with her warclub. "Bastard! And there's more coming too!"
Sure enough you could hear more trogs coming towards the group. Additionally, an arrow flew right pass you from another trog who seemed to have a bit of difficulty aiming the weapon, but was playing it safe by shooting at the group from a distance. And well beyond him, pass the trogs who were coming at you, in the dark end of the hallway, you could make our some sort of lever system. It was hard to see in this dim light but it was over there past the five trogs that stand between you and the lever.

Sylvia let out a shout as the trog managed to bite her and scratch her with its claws. Thankfully, Buddy was there to finish off the creature. Of course, when Pylia screamed, she immediately turned to look. As she witnessed a trog biting into her arm, she could feel the divine magic disappear. She immediately reacted and threw a sun bolt towards the trog. After doing so, she looked towards the trogs that Pylia pointed out.
She squinted in order to see the lever behind the trog and she called to her friends, “There’s a lever behind them! Let’s get over there together!” She then led the way towards the trogs and after moving as far as she could, she braced herself for any attacks that may come her way, using a bit of ki to help her dodge. She was in need of healing...

Sylvia will throw a sun bolt at trog 2C and then start moving towards the levers. Spending a ki point for Patient Defense for my bonus action.
Sun Bolt: 10
I don’t think that hits.

In a flurry, Shortfang dispatched two trogs, stabbing on in the heart while slicing the throat to the other. He dashed forward towards you as you pointed out the lever, putting his scimitar away as Syfr picked up his crossbow, loaded it with a bolt he carried, and dropped it into Shortfang's awaiting hand. "We almost there! Kill em all!" The troglodyte with the crossbow tossed his weapon aside as he charged towards you, claws forward as he tore into you. Or so he thought; thanks to your patient defense you were easily able to avoid his flurry of attacks, misdirecting him as he stumbled about hitting nothing but air. It was during one of those stumbles that Pylia threw a ball of fire right into his face, scorching him painfully. Buddy threw the harpoon at him as well, however the spear missed and buried itself deep into the wall. That's when the other troglodytes finally arrived, one who was just barely able to run up towards you while the other three were fast approaching. "Stay calm Sylvia! We're here with you!" With these words of encouragement from Pylia, you could feel your body heal some wounds from before.

Sylvia was grinning as she easily dodged and feinted past the attacks that were directed at her. If she hadn't taken patient defense, then she would have been torn apart! She was glad she had made that choice. She immediately felt her wounds close and her spirits rise as Pylia gave her words of encouragement. She called back, "Thanks Pylia!" before turning her attention back to the two trogs surrounding her. She decided to trust in her friends and deal with the trogs in front of her. She struck at the healthier looking trog with her tonfa before striking the wounded trog with a back handed punch to the face, like she had seen done in the movies. Her back towards the wounded trog and she didn't even need to look at him as she back handed punched him.

You take down the next trog with a cool off-hand backhand just as he was going for a bite. He was ready to swallow your head whole, but that just meant he left his jaw wide open as your fist smashed through his teeth and jaw, knocking him down for the counter. As for the other one he reeled back from your tonfa blow as you broke a few of his ribs. But before he could even react, Shortfang quickly power slide across the ground as Pylia moved forward, sending a crossbow bolt right into the wounded Trog's neck. The combined pain was just too much for him and as he struggled to maintain his balance, he quickly bleed out and died. As for Pylia she charged towards a trog that wasn't even expecting her, as he was going after Buddy, and she intercepted his face with her warclub. She swung upwards towards his chin causing the trog to flip twice in the air before landing on his neck, dead as can be. Buddy rushed in from behind her and quickly struck at the next trog coming, slashing across the beast's arm and stabbing him in the leg, doing a serious amount of damage.
However it was the trog's turn now and they were practically frothing at the mouth in some sort of bloodrage, attacking you and Buddy with reckless abandon. One trog managed to actually bite Buddy's head, digging into his face, however your staunch robot companion simply grabbed the trog by the throat and tossed him away, the monster's claws failing to find any purchase in his chassis. However it was during that moment that Buddy wouldn't have noticed the other Trog slipping past him to attack you. He snapped at you, which you were easily able to avoid thanks to the trog rearing his head back before you could strike him, however he lashed out with two rapid claw strikes which cut your forearm and leg. "Sylvia! Are you alright?" Pylia shouts as she looks ready to come aid you. Above, Syfr flew right past the group and towards the other end of the hall. "Shortfang send Syfr to switch! See if Syfr can pull, help allies!"

Sylvia was impressed with Shortfang's and Pylia's moves as they dealt their blows to the trogs. It was like they were all in some sort of epic movie. Despite the damage they dealt, the trogs were still going to attack them! She gasped quietly as the trog managed to bite Buddy's face. Thankfully, it seemed like Buddy was okay because he simply tossed the trog aside like it was nothing more than just another pest. Unfortunately, that meant that the other trog managed to slip by him and reach her! She managed to dodge its teeth, but the claws got to her. She yelped in pain. When she heard Pylia call to her, she answered back, "For now!" She then tried to attack the trog. Unfortunately, her tonfa went wide, but thankfully that gave her the chance to get a hit in with a roundhouse kick. When she heard Shortfang call to them, she called back "Good idea, Shortfang!" She hoped that Shortfang's idea would work. Would Syfr be strong enough to push the lever? They'll just have to see.

Your kick was solid, buckling the trog's knee as Shortfang dropped his crossbow and ran towards Buddy. "Buddy! Shortfang behind you!" Using Buddy's massive body to as cover and as high ground, Shortfang climbed onto Buddy's shoulder's before jumping off of him to plunge his shortsword right into the wounded Trog's face. His blade went all the way down to the hilt, getting blood all over him and Buddy as he rolled away, drawing his Scimitar out to cut the other surviving trog in the back of his good knee. This caused the trog to fall to his kness which gave Pylia the chance to rush in and spike his head to the ground with her warclub, breaking bones and the stone floor in one blow. With that mighty blow, the this battle was finished. But there was still a war being waged above.
"We can't waste any time!" Pylia said with urgency. Without missing a beat Buddy went and followed Syfr, who indeed did find the level and naturally was not strong enough to shift it no matter how hard he pulled. Pylia followed Buddy while Shortfang gathered his items, but before he did he handed you his last healing potion. "You look bad boss! Be healthy!" Shortfang himself had a few cuts on him, but he didn't seem critically injured, whereas you had still bleeding, still sore wounds from where the Trog had clawed you up.

Sylvia took the moment to catch her breath after Shortfang and Pylia finished off the last two trogs. The battle was won, but the war was still raging above. It was a good thing that she only used a little bit of her ki, just in case. She nodded to Pylia when she called out urgently. Before she followed however, she accepted the healing potion from Shortfang, and she answered him, "Thank you, Shortfang," before she quickly uncorked it and drank the contents of the potion. She could feel her wounds heal as the potion takes effect. She then hurried to the lever.
Once she reaches the lever, she would grab the lever. She then looks to Buddy and she tells him, "If this is the lever that opens the gates for our friends, then break this after I pull. I don't want those trogs closing the gate on them again," She had a feeling that Buddy might be strong enough to break the lever after it's pulled.
She then pulls the lever after she made her statement.

The lever was heavy indeed, taking a considerably amount of your strength to move it, but once it started to budge the rest of the momentum allowed you to pull it completely. You hear a loud bang on the other side of the wall, followed by a very familiar warcry. Sounded like Yorik. Hearing this, Buddy motioned for you to move as he chopped the lever's handle, ensuring that the trogs would have no way to operate this thing without repairing the lever handle. Shortfang loaded his crossbow with another bolt as he looked eagerly towards the staircase next to them. "Sounds like kobolds charging! Gate open! Let's go!" Pylia adjusted her armor which had gotten a bit disheveled due to combat. "I'm good for three spells, one low level and two high levels. I'll save them in case we need them though. Let's hurry, once we get our warriors past the walls those trogs can't attack them with the balistas!" Buddy smashed the lever just for good measure before pointing up towards the stairs, making his quick and silent recommendation clearly known as he took point and walked forward.

At first Sylvia was worried that this was going to be another boulder incident where Shortfang and Buddy would give her looks for...not being as physically strong as Buddy. Thankfully, that wasn't the case as she was able to move the lever after she got some momentum on it. Once she moved the lever, she stayed where she was and listened carefully. Once she heard Yorik's battle cry she smiled. She nodded to Buddy and moved away so that he could break the lever.
She nodded to her friends after they all said their piece, agreeing with their words of continuing upwards to join the battle. She let Buddy take point of the formation and she answered them, "Let's get going! Stay on your toes guys. We won the battle, but the war is not done yet," She then headed upstairs with her friends. She prepared herself in case anything were to suddenly attack them.

A trog comes down the stairs, on fire in screaming in pain. It stopped screaming as Buddy casually stomped on it's head and broke it's head open, kicking it off the staircase as he leads the group up. It seemed like Yorik took some heavy casualties storming the gate as you could see a few kobold bodies on the ground, but you could also see a lot of trog corpses on the ramparts as well. What was even more frightening than that however was that somehow or another, those giant crocodiles that you followed was now breathing some sort of acidic breath at the troglodytes on the walls, destroying siege weapons and burning them to death. A second contingent of kobolds were also here, these being led by Kor as they flung oil and shot arrows of fire at troglodytes, likely causing the burning trog that Buddy dealt with.
Below you was the gate, however it seemed like you only managed to open one gate. Fortunately Yorik and his Kobolds were armed with axes and were able to hack through the first gate, and without a second gate to have to break through the giant acid breathing crocodile was able to force it's way through, clearing a path for the kobolds to storm the keep. The troglodytes easily lost morale once the gate was down and they began to retreat towards the keep itself, a rather large stone structure with arrow holes but hardly any actual marksmen to use them. Seeing how the troglodytes handled the crossbow they used back in the wall below, you could safely guess that even if they had ranged weapons, they would use them poorly. Still the keep had many troglodytes doing a last stand, but now there were also kobolds here to hold ground as well.
Yorik lead a team to clear out the ramparts of troglodytes and take what weapons they can while Kor and his team secured the courtyard area. Pylia kept her eyes on the keep itself though. "Do you think we should take the lead and storm the keep, or wait for reinforcements? It seems like Shor is bringing more kobolds with them as well as another giant crocodile. I say we should wait for now, but if we wait too long that may give the trogs more time to set up their defenses, or worse let Red Stain escape."

Sylvia blinked rapidly at the screaming trog that Buddy had casually stomped on and kicked off the stairs. Despite that being a warning sign, she still wasn't really prepared for the sight that she was about to see. The sight of dead bodies all around, kobold and troglodyte...and Yorik had taken some heavy hits as well. Then there was the fact that the giant crocodiles were breathing acid! Was that why they called the giant crocodiles the Sewer Dragons? Was that normal in Keratia?
Clearly, Keratia still had many surprises for Sylvia.
She shook her head as though to shake the surprise and keep herself from freezing at the large amount of dead bodies (war is truly hell on...Keratia?) After taking in the area, and the keep ahead, she considered the situation. She answered Pylia, "I think we should wait for reinforcements. If we charge in now, the four of us would probably be at a disadvantage. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Red Stain came out here to fight us," She recalled hearing that the troglodytes respected strength and that they wouldn't listen to the leader if it seemed like he was just using the trogs as meat shields. Did that mean that they would kill the leader if that was the case...? Sylvia wasn't sure.

"Honestly, I rather hope he comes out and faces us. Maybe we could turn these weapons against him." As Pylia spoke her thoughts, Buddy managed to save one Balista from the wreckage, using his considerably strength to move the half-ton siege weapon inward towards the keep. Shortfang was helping, though not by much. Still he seemed rather eager to use such a hulking weapon. "Biggest! Crossbow! EVER!" Shor and Atisha just arrived to the walls alongside Green Eyes, though Longstrider was not riding him but a different kobold rider. With the assistance of the giant crocodile Atisha was able to hop onto the walls to give you information. "Longstrider and Cera are holding our rear location to make sure we have an evacuation point. Yorik and Kor are leading strike teams throughout the sewers to route further trog resistance while other warriors bring back the wounded. Thus, it's our job to hold down the fort here. We have a small team of kobolds, but two giant crocodiles, so I have no doubts we can keep control of the courtyard. However there's still a matter of the fortress itself."
Atisha looked towards the solid wooden gates, which had one of the crocodiles breathing acid and eating away at it. "We don't suspect there are many defenders left, but we also have no idea what might be in store for us. So far our scouts have no noticed anything unusual leave the fortress that isn't a trog, but that doesn't discount the possibility that Red Stain has or is attempting to escape. Until we can confirm his status, this place is still under his command, and with it any trog warriors who follow him. Thus, we must go into the keep, find Red Stain, and finally put an end to him. Shor says that he is more than willing to storm the keep with you, or if you think it'll help I can follow you in instead. Either way either Shor or myself have to stay behind to command the court yard, so we'll leave that decision to you, Sylvia."
