As the group finds their way down the sides of the hill, they realize sheer height of the wall. From above it seemed much shorter, as the lower angle and the height of the hill made the walls seem reasonably defensive. But from the ground, gazing up, the walls extend for a good fifty feet or more into the air. Not the easiest to climb by any means. Father Rau takes a look up the sheer height of the wall and taps it with his staff, noting that it would be quite the fortress to assail in traditional warfare.

"That's why we're not attacking it traditionally." Grakul notes, drawing two of his strange weapons and moving along the length of the blackened wall.

Following behind the two Orcs spearheading the advance, the group can hear the sounds of the dragon's aerial assault above. The roar of flame, the blasts of explosive spells, and the loosing of many arrows into the sky. So far, the distraction appears to be working well.

"We'll likely be able to find some form of entrance around the back, something we can use to sneak in." Orgarash said aloud, drawing his greataxe from his back and carrying it ready at his side.

"There." Rau says, pointing his staff up as they reach a corner in the sprawling shape of the fortress's walls. One of the corners, rising up into the sky, seemed to open up into a window to the inside. Standing on the edge was a rather agitated looking sentry, a wight who seemed to be concerned with the events going on in the main courtyard but not wanting to abandon his post for fear of retribution.  As such he was looking away from the open balcony he stood upon, looking towards the front of the fortress as he idly tapped the heavy crossbow he held in his hands, his glowing gaze focused towards the commotion outside.
