Adventures of Prince Micheal: What the Raven Brought.

Once the tower was secured, a hasty council of war was held to discuss the next step. In light of the possibility that Helgin would hear of the capture earlier than planned, the ship was sent  to report to Duke Stephen while the new garrison set to work. The door was barricaded and obstacles were built across the ramp as a first line of defense.

Helgin must have reacted to the raven messenger without losing a minute and dawn brought the Saxon scouts. A few hours later came the tramp  of men, bellowing of oxen and the creak of wooden wheels. The garrison rushed to man the defences and braced themselves for battle.

Tomorrow: Helgin Strikes Back!
