The soldiers recover from their spill fairly quickly, but they look extremely surprised at the situation, and very disorganized. Thankfully, they're spared from having to reply, as the main gate of the fortress... disintegrates, from an outward explosion, accompanied by a tremendous wave of force, that happens to barely hit one of his constructs, and knock it back a good twenty feet.<br/><br/>An instant later, a very large presence moves through the gate, visible less by its own presence, and more by the gouges its claws leave in the stonework, as it races out. It'll likely take even Draiss an instant to realize that it's a Force Dragon, and not a small one, empowered to the same degree the mortals were, although moreso; easily a DR 5, if not higher, on top of being a highly augmented, adult, epic dragon.
