Ancalagon curses aloud, and urges Shyrath back to the castle as fast as she can. He is unamused that he somehow missed this minor army. He did not feel ready for an army against his little guard. Leaping from Shyrath's back, he dashes into the entrance hall, and roars at the top of his lungs, "RALLY IN THE ENTRANCE HALL IMMEDIATELY!"<br/><br/>Turning to Shyrath, he says, "Shyrath, take Rummsprig, and elimate that advance force if they are really coming here. I don't care how you find out, just be back within 25 minutes. Bring as many of the items as you can grab from them. Do not engage the main army yet, I need those items to know about how well equiped they are. Go now!"<br/><br/>Not waiting to hear her reply, he turns back to the other end of the hall, and waits for everyone to assemble in the main hall.<br/><br/>Once everyone is there, he has the lizardfolk guards arm themselves with bows, and station themselves on the walkway above the only entrance. The kobolds were to either evacuate, or build as many traps to slow down anyone entering through the front door. Anya and Myra where to go with the lizardfolk, and do what they could to help, either repelling anyone trying to climb up, or shoot arrows as well. Shale, Raura, and Thar-nysk were to station themselves in the entrance hall, to repel anyone trying to enter that way. Vorg, Selvia, and the three clerics in training were to station themselves in the throne room, to support either group or repel anyone entering the windows. The dragons and himself would be making sorties until they closed to within view of the Castle, and then would pull back to the castle.<br/><br/>He then stood by the entrance, waiting for the two dragons to return. He wished he could go with them, but needed to make sure the people here did not think they were being abandoned, while their 'leader' took who he thought would be the most useful, and vanished. He did not move for the time they were gone, simply waiting and watching for either the two dragons to return, or the army to appear.
