You wait and watch a while longer, but hear only the occasional hint of any activity from within. There can hardly be many of them, unless they are being supremely quiet. You begin to suspect there may only be a few of them...

"I only see a few," Anwyn whisper to Caine. "When next we see one close by, let us strike it together and then return to our comrades if we are discovered."

Unless you cross the 30 yards or so of open ground and get right up to the ruined keep itself, you will have a very difficult time striking anything...

Caine leads out, followed quickly by Anwyn. The two of you sidle across the open ground as stealthily as shadows, and soon both have your backs against the ruinous outer western wall. Although it is has long ago collapsed, it is still 5 to 10ft taller than either of you along most of its length.

Deadly daggers in hand, you creep toward the broken opening in the wall whence you spied your quarry some ten or so minutes earlier. Just a step from the breach you pause -- hearts in mouths -- and dare to peer around the corner into the interior...

The keep must have originally been of square construction with a single box tower in the opposite corner, with an adjacent gate arch in the south facing wall. The curtain wall originally enclosed a small cobbled bailey entirely, but now has several breaches, and the remains of the eastern wall are particularly low.

The interior is now rubble-strewn, overgrown, and guarded only by crumbling walls. The tower and gate arch remain partially intact, with an exterior stone stair running up one side of the tower to an open doorway. Sheltering from the sun in the shade of the gate-arch you spy two squatting Hobgoblins attired in grubby shirts of rings and stout helmets. Their spears and shields lean against the wall nearby. (1d20=12) they do not appear to notice you as they continue to throw small stones and mutter to one another...

The court is approximately 20 yards wide, and the Hobgoblins in the gate arch are about the same distance away from you. The gate itself appears to be intact and barred from the inside.

Back behind the ridge, Olaf is getting impatient. He drums his fingers on his bow and taps his foot.

"They've been gone a long time." he says, "You don't think the gooks got'em do you?"

"Nah! There'd have been some noise if they had...hooting and yelling if nothing else." he replies to himself.

Looking to the others he asks, "So, do we keep waiting or do something?"

"Patience my friend," Ulric replies. "I imagine they will need to move very slowly to get to ruin unnoticed. Let's give them a little bit longer."

Caine looks at Anwyn, while transferring a dagger to each hand. If she nods, he will rush the nearest and attack with a dagger in each hand before they can arm
