Bracnos takes the he's back and uses them to open the door the the guard tower

"Who else is going with Bracnos into the building besides me."
"I'll go too.", Syldran announces begrudgingly.
"As am I. We clear this building, hit the tower, and then get out. That was the plan, right?"
The party opens up the door to Western Gate House (3b) and see an unused storage area that should be stocked with supplies. This area is completely empty. You hear voices arguing over what to do. It sounds like some guards above you on the next floor overheard the fight and are discussing whether to run and hide or attack your group. You also overhear that Edson has the horn but was killed in the previous melee. There is a ladder that leads to the next level.
Graz'ul grins at Bracnos.
"I guess we're going up the ladder, then."
Graz'ul motions for one of the sneaky types to silently scurry up and see how dangerous climbing the ladder would be.
"STAY DOWN THERE! DON'T COME UP HERE!" you hear screamed down from across the upper level. You hear a thud as an arrow pierces wood just above the ladder.
"Nine hells...we don't have time to negotiate."
Graz'ul raises his shield above his head with one arm and proceeds to climb the ladder one-handed.
"STAY DOWN THERE!" you hear again. The shield in Graz'ul arm gets thudded with two arrows. When he finally gets up to the top, Graz'ul sees two guards armed with longbows behind a makeshift barricade of barrels, a table, chairs, chests. Anything to block the soldiers from the criminals. This will be a difficult fight.

"Nine hells...we don't have time to negotiate." Graz'ul raises his shield above his head with one arm and proceeds to climb the ladder one-handed. Theoretically, that should provide him with at least partial cover on the way up.
Bracnos sees what he's doing and joins next on the ladder right behind him
"one of you hold the ladder in place as stop the dead that walk"-Posted with Wayfinder
Graz'ul calls down to the rest of the party.
"We've got two guards up here hiding in the corner and quaking in their boots."
Graz is up on the second floor, Bracnos is about to be in the second floor, Wade is holding the ladder, Syldran, Annak, Zyx are adjacent to Wade, Lillith is outside in the courtyard, and Harken is in the archway of the gatehouse.
Lillith
Syldran is up
Annak
Harken
Bracnos
Zyx
Graz'ul
Guards
Wade
Annak will delay until her turn on the ladder.
Once Bracnos clears onto the second floor, Syldran will make his way up the ladder, and if he can make it all the way to the top, will use the bigger orcs to as cover.

Bracnos runs across the open space and the guards with arrows knocked let loose their bowstrings.
and the arrows fly by his head. He makes it t the other side and begins breaking the make-shift barricade.
Lillith- delay
Syldran awaiting the half orc body shields to set up
Annak- delay
Harken- not in the fight
Bracnos- attacking furniture
Zyx- is up
Graz'ul
Guards
Wade
When my turn comes around, Graz'ul has just enough movement to put him within punching distance of the red guard.
Zyx delays.
Graz attacks the red guard and gives him a good blow.
The guards decide to flee and seeing as the only way down is blocked by raging criminals other than the windows along the wall, the guards drop their bows and jump out the windows to the prison wall below. The fall does not go well for them and Graz can hear the breaking of bones when they land. Peering out the window Graz hears them shout out about the break out and scream in pain.

Graz'ul nearly doubles over in laughter.
"Did that just really happen?"
He looks over at Bracnos.
"You saw that, right?"
He calls back down to the others.
"Scratch the two guards up here, they pissed themselves and jumped out the window. They're in the courtyard now."

lafeing hard and clapping Graz'ul on the back
'HAHAHa, yes but the fools still live someone hit them with an arrow or.."
Bracnos picks up the table and trys to drop it on the head of the guards
"this might do hahaha...eh blood clan"
as he walks away
"i guess pinkskins can be funny.."
calling down to harkenn
"hay HARKEN don't get any ideas now you can't fly you know that right?..haha"
Syldran grimaces in disgust at the orcs actions.
"Suh a waste. You didn't even make them suffer. Besides, they were incapacitated and out of the picture, no need to waste our energy killing them. We're not murder hobos."
The two humans, while severely injured, still manage to stumble along the battlements and yell for the alarm to be sounded. A few moments pass and more guards are shouting from the nearest corner guard towers.
As the group comes back outside the Gatehouse, they see Grumblejack pointing across the courtyard.
"Mor lil' uns come." he yells out.
When you look in the direction he points to, you see a group of guards led by an older man. This group approaches your direction in an orderly fashion.
"hay HARKEN don't get any ideas now you can't fly you know that right?..haha"
Bracnos looks around for Harken and realizes he is not there. Harken is seen running down the bridge towards the mainland.
"I think now is the time to leave..." Annak says as she walks out of the Gatehouse door.
As Grumblejack points out the approaching guards, Graz'ul looks up. He saunters toward the group and addresses the older man.
"I assume you're the one in charge here. Nothing personal, but you have to be dealt with."
He looks over at Grumblejack.
"You ready to jump into this battle, Grumbles? There's plenty of 'lil' uns' to play with."
