Story Flavor:
The first sunrays were crawling hesitantly on the serrated city walls. The dark shroud of night was slowly withdrawing. The catapults had been shooting all night. Murk had managed to ward off two assaults from Wayward’s troops – one at the main gate and one by water near Icewind Quay. Only when the morning light scattered the darkness did we see the price we had paid to survive that night: new cracks and holes in the thick city wall a destroyed defensive tower more homes reduced to rubble and new fires throughout the city. At least a few dozen dead bodies laid scattered in the ashes debris and dust.
At nightfall Wayward’s war drums began their rumble once again. The catapults were still silent but they would undoubtedly start singing their deathly song soon. For nine days Wayward’s hordes had sieged Murk and every night the city walls groaned under the volleys of stones and fire hurled at them.
