Flare followed, and soon they emerged out of a hatch onto the upper floor of the walls of the castle. The top of the gatehouse roof is a large open area of flat stone surrounded by low stone battlements. A walkway encircles the entire structure, allowing them to reach the upper floors of the castle, with greater ease.<br/><br/>In the courtyard below, a large, man-sized spider lurks, skittering aroudn near the gate they'd intended to come in, while a pair of dire corbies stand on the walls, on the far side of the courtyard... next to a catapult, that they're busily setting up, loading, and aiming. To the east, Rimeera can see, in the smaller sectioned off area of the courtyard (T5), a pair of huge, brutish, malformed humanoids, who seems to be hanging near the entrance to their small area, watching the expected fight in anticipation.
