The party awakens in the morning, some more fresh than the others. You can hear the sound of hooves walking around outside the room.
Brawny and Tasia are nowhere to be seen as they spent the night in the tavern.
>>94219
You wake up feeling absolute shit. Even your ass hurts right now for some reason.
The tavern is empty and a pretty big mess, the bartender is snoozing off with his head on the bar

To the west of here lies Drakensburg Hold, they are supposed to be keeping the road and area safe. Perhaps you could be so kind as to visit there and see what's what? I mean as knights you should be able to do something right?"

"Too much mead… Even for me."
The two of you leave the tavern. It's morning out and many ponies are wlaking around in their mining outfits, some of them about to start their workdays while others just finished their nightshifts.
You can hear some yelling down the street and see a small newspaper stand with ponies crowded all around it.

Silver shrugs lazily
"I don't know, maybe. All I know is the town and caravans are suffering badly under the constant raids on the supply lines. All help is appreciated."

There are several articles on the front page. Apparently things got a bit heated during diplomatic talks between the empress and some oddomane diplomats. The article speaks of the Oddomanes pressing claims on the Whoves archipelago, and proposing - more like demanding - that the Trotantines give it up. The empresses response was less than subtle: 'I have already prepared my counter-proposal. It reads thusly: You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!'
This combined with arising questions concerning the Riverwatch incident as well as some other happenings is only fueling the hatred and distrust between the two empires further. An article also talks about how both nations are no doubt secretly stockpiling resources and increasing their defense budgets.

The party sets off once more towards ADVENTURE, the last one still freshly imprinted into their minds. They head west, traveling on the same road they used to get to Draken. They spend the night on the road and by morning, they finally arrive at the gates of Drakenberg hold. A mare clad in heavy steel armor accompanied by some more guards stops you before you can walk in.
"State your business strangers."

The stronghold is perched on the side of a mountain. The wall itself is quite thick, though not even close to rivaling the one you saw in the capital city. You follow the mare over the drawbridge and through the gate and hit on the large open yard inside. To the left of you you see a series of small buildings, which you presume to be the barracks. In the front there is a tall building with multiple banners on top of it, which looks to be the main hall. To the right you see a small temple with sun and moon statues and various other decorations on adorning it.
The mare heads towards the large building in front of you without saying a word. You notice there aren't very much ponies walking around aside from the soldiers standing guard on the wall and towers.

The party stops at a large wooden door, the mare knocking firmly before entering. Inside is a very simple looking chart-room. There is a small fireplace providing some warmth as well as a large woolen carpet on the floor. Aside from that however, the room is bare of any further decorations. In the middle of the room stands a heavy wooden table with a model map of the entire area.

The party traveled to Drakenberg, set on finding out why the garrison was unable to keep the trade caravans from being raided. When they arrived they found out the castle was undermanned and unable to spare the troops to secure the entire trade route. Instead, it was decided to assault Ravelsburg, the bandits' base of operations in Oddomane territory. The party is waiting for the garrison to finish its preparations for the upcoming siege.

The gate itself is made from wood and reinforced with steel, though it seems like it's in pretty bad state after so many years. Eventually the ram reaches the door and the ramming can commence. The ponies on the walls are desperately trying to hit you all using rocks, but failing badly for now.
