Arkady lobs the first grenade more or less at the speaker and then readies the second; after the tree shattering kaboom he plans to step forward and aim that one a bit more precisely.

*B*O*O*O*M*

It's not a sound. It's a hammer that picks up the castle and slams it back into the ground. Those on the wall stumble, and catch themselves; Arkady's not quite sure where his first stun grenade went, but he was halfway through throwing it when the explosion hit.

Looking over the wall, at first there's nothing but a cloud of dust where the mercenaries were.

Explosives force: +5
Minions who are not aware that there are explosives do not get a roll to dodge.
Adus, being in a region designed to reduce the force and try to capture him alive, gets an Endurance roll.
Adus: Endurance: +5 Roll: +3 Total: +8 Target: +5 Success with spin!


From the midst of the cloud of dust comes a voice.

"...since the hos- hospi- what's this word?"

Felix pops his head over the wall and sights his rifle w/ grenade launcher attachment in the direction he hears Adus' voice coming from. If the dust hasn't settled, he'll take a moment to get himself situated while he waits for clear line of sight.

Guns roll to establish Ready to Fire aspect.

Having an awful suspicion he knows what noise is coming next, Arkady tosses the second grenade at the voice. Apparently he hasn't moved since last he was seen.

Nate stands up from cover and shoulders his rifle. Force of habit has him standing slightly back from the crenelations, however, in order to limit how much enemy fire he is exposed to.

Arkady: Weapons: +0 Roll: +0 Total: +0
Adus: Fists: +3 Roll: +3 Total: +6 Success with spin!


Ad the dust recedes, Adus notices the grenade falling towards him, straight at his helmet. One mailed fist reaches out and slaps it from the air, throwing it into the moat instead.

The subsequent explosion comes as a clear surprise to him, but is not as disorienting as one might have hoped. Fortunately, is seems he's the only member of the invaders to still be upright, standing alone amidst a field of dead and broken bodies. Even more fortunately, he does not appear to have packed a bow or any sort of ranged weapon.

An approaching cloud of dust on the road suggests a large company of riders is on their way.

As the dust settles, Felix tags the Ready to Fire aspect and aims his rifle straight at Adus. Pulling the second trigger, he fires off the flash bang loaded into the grenade launcher attachment.

Spend a fate point to tag Fortune Roulette if the roll isn't high enough.

Arkady turns towards Vanire. "It looks like it worked. But they (indicating the approaching dust) may take a while to get through if they're yours."

Nate pulls the pin on a flashbang and throws it not at Adus, but in front of him. As long as he's looking at it when it goes off, he should be stunned.

"If it is them, then they've made excellent time." Vanire looks out at the approaching group, but is clearly unable to make out exactly who it is. "I'll know for sure in a few minutes. Your trap was impressive; if you can keep Adus there long enough for them to catch up, then we might be able to get Martel's location from him..."

Felix: Guns: +2 Visor: +4 Ready To Fire: +2 Roll: +0 Total: +8
Adus: Fists: +3 Roll: -1 Total: +2


Felix fires a flashbang grenade. Adus looks irritated, right up until it explodes - still in midair - right in front of his face.

Adus: Endurance: +5 Roll: -2 Total: +3 Target: +6

Stunned, Adus shakes his head. He looks around, but it's clear that he is - at least temporarily - not able to see anything.

Nate: Weapons: +3 Roll: +1 Total: +4
Adus: Fists: +3 Roll: -1 Stunned: -2 Total: +0
Endurance: +5 Roll: +0 Total: +5 Target: +4


Nate's flashbang goes off perfectly, but doesn't make any appreciable difference; Adus is already stunned, he seems unlikely to get much more stunned. He waves his arms around randomly, but doesn't find anything around himself.

The riders are definitely getting closer. It'll take them a while to close the distance, but Adus is also going to be stunned for some time; it might well be that it's already too late for him to escape capture.

Nate hands Vanire a pair of binoculars he uses for spotting with a muttered "try these." He himself settles for using the scope on his rifle to try and identify the approching troops.

One hopes something could be so easy.

Felix prepares for the riders advancing in the distance, keeping his rifle trained on Adus but sparing glances for the riders every so often.

Arkady looks back over the edge of the wall to the courtyard and spots Sir Ulath. "Sir Ulath! Adus is alone out front and he seems to be stunned. Please invite him in before he gets hurt."

Vanire takes the binoculars, holding them as if he's not sure what they're for, until one of the Terrans helpfully gestures to hold them up to his eyes. He does so, looking through them - then lowering them, and raising them again a couple of times.

Nate, looking through his rifle scope, spots a large group of black-armoured horsemen - easily twice as strong as the force recently annhilated. And each man, on his left upper arm, has tied a brightly coloured ribbon.

"It's the Pandion company," grunts Vanire. "That's Sir Parasim in the lead. They've made good time."

--------------

From the base of the stairs leading up to the wall, just starting to climb, Sir Ulath looks up at Arkady in frank disbelief. "What?" he asks. "He had two hundred mercenaries with him!"

"They're not much of a concern anymore," Felix replies as he scans the battlefield looking for survivors.
