Both of the sides grunted while pushing against the door, the people outside intent on breaching the keep once more and the ones on the inside doing all they could to not let this happen. The door slowly but surely pushed inward and at it's worst point the gap between the doors was almost wide enough to swing a blade through, but then something odd happened: The power on the other side of the door lessened for a moment. It returned soon, but in that time our heroes had already pushed the doors back near to their starting point.
"This one is done, Castellan", Lake chimed in from the left side, having fixed his share of the door. The Wizard bit his lip and let some magical energy swirl around his hand. He could join in on the pushing with greater might, but on the other hand that would cost him... he might still need his powers this night. The sparks retreated, and Lake moved to observe the final moments of Parum's repairs.
As soon as Escobert and Parum had finished with their last one, a few of the guardsmen carried heavy bars and did their best to slide one of them them into place on the door. As soon as it was in place, the job of the defending side became much easier. "A'ight, finishin' touches on tha barricade..." was all that Escobert had to say when the guards were already on the move. The room was bustling with people now and given it's size it wasn't exactly a comfortable place. "Guards, make way! We are leaving!" Escobert announced, letting the castle guard take care of the situation from now on.
As soon as the group had made it out of the room, Mr. Lake excused himself and headed back into the keep. "Ya take care now!" Escobert yelled after them before addressing the temporary soldier's of the governor: "Well 'en, I would recommend ya get sum rest now too. I'll need ta get tha report as to how dem nasties actually got in in tha first place. I trust we'll see each other soon enough."
