The attack goes just about as well as can be expected... almost suspiciously well, one might say, as they tear through the soldiers defending the city. Oh, there's definitely resistance being put up, but there's no sign of the squad of extremely dangerous foes that attacked his capital, supporting the troops, much like his own forces were doing. It's like they wanted him to push through, into the city, all the way up to the palace.<br/><br/>The palace is a byzantine mess - a sprawling structure of strange twists and turns and roofing at odd angles. It looks old, and well used, and expanded upon regularly... and is curiously lightly defended. No guards even stand on the defense to slow them down.
