Battle for Neverwinter's Northern Gate
Around 4 in the morning, Demonsbane picked up movement. She stood up. Before she could investigate a scream could be heard. Demonsbane yelled to a guard. "Sound the alarm." Demonsbane lept from the wall to the ground below and ran towards the scream.
Throughout Neverwinter, the alarm bells from the northern gate could be heard. Tav was awakened by the sound. She knew deep down in her bones that something would happen. She didn't know when; that was a skill that alluded her. She slept in her armor and with her prosthetics on. It was not the most comfortable or conducive for resting, but it helped get her into the fight faster. Tav made her way to the northern gate.
Shi'za was sleeping on a roof near the northeastern wall. She made her way from the roof to the wall, and from there, she made her way to the gate. Upon arrival at the gate, she enhanced lept down and began attacking the Mind Flayers.
Fera was used to long nights and no or little sleep. With talks of Mind Flayers nearby sleep was not something she could achieve even if she wanted to. She stalked the night looking for someone to prove themselves unnecessary to the world. A quarter to 4 she found herself being stalked by a man. She rounded the corner into an alley, and she surprised him when he rounded the corner. She was in the middle of draining him dry when the alarm bells went off. "Your lucky day." She tossed him aside like trash and proceeded to the northern gate.
When Fera arrived she found Tav berating some poor soul. "You. Will. Open. That. Gate. Now." Fera stepped in and saved the poor soul. "If those are Mind Flayers keeping the gate closed will do nothing to stop them from getting inside. It will however assure you that those of us not too cowardly to fight them have a little more time to practice on the likes of you before they fly over the walls." Fera had no clue if Mind Flayers could fly, she heard it once. She also heard some other fantastical things unsafe to repeat in certain companies. "Fine!" He signaled to open the gate. Just as the gate opened they saw Demonsbane surrounded by Mind Flayers. Demonsbane was down on one knee being pummeled by the Mind Flayers. Tav and Fera opened fire with their crossbows. Tav fired as she approached. Fera eventually spider climbed up the wall. She coordinated the archers up there. "Throw torches out there or something so you can see them coming." With her darkvision she could see them. There were a dozen there already not counting the ones attacking Demonsbane. She could see movement in the trees she couldn't tell how many more were coming.
