But if nothing else it'll be good to clear out the vermin" she added. Even if he had been a charlatan about the spring, the merchant was seemingly right about the lizard folk. Magic water or no, a threat like this couldn't be allowed to keep building this close to the village, "if nothing else the space might be useful" she said, nodding towards the cliff topped fortress. Surely the village could make use of a place like this somehow, it was certainly more fortified than their current one was.<br/><br/>Grendelle suddenly tensed and dropped what she was doing when Nin shouted out. Her head raised and her eyes sharpened, not unlike an animal assessing a sudden danger. First the enemy, her eyes followed Nin's pointing towards the raiding force not far off, fast approaching. Second her head darted around to take a proper count of where everyone was, first Nin, then Sidi, and then Valna...wait, what was she doing? Grendelle saw the door the tricky thief had apparently discovered, and with a squint of her eyes spotted the lizardfolk inside as well. Her gaze darted between the lizards and the approaching gnolls. The lizards were large, but the raiders were many, not to mention they would be caught in the open, assailed by mounted fighters.<br/><br/>"Inside!" Grendelle shouted, drawing a well cared for great sword, her grandfather's, from her back, pointing the others to the tunnel before racing towards it herself. If they fell back inside then they could force the outriders to funnel in after them. The cramped space would force them to file up to face them, diminishing their mobility and preventing them from taking full advantage of their numbers, "Valna! Inside!" she shouted again as she shot past the thief, not having time to explain. She saw the lizards still asleep, but knew they wouldn't stay that way for long once the stampede of gnolls grew closer, so their best bet was to strike first and try to finish them before the outriders caught up. Hefting her sword overhead Grendelle would take a quick slash at the one with it's eyes open.
