With the walls, breached, and even more of the castle destroyed, a subordinate has concocted a bold plan...

The stone flew through the air, ascending high o'er the heavens, reaching the peak of its arch, before slowly tumbling down towards the castle walls. It began picking up speed as it descended; it slammed itself harshly into the stone and mortar, destroying itself but also dislodging several large chunks of the wall in the process.

This was repeated a few times more, the stone slowly battering down the already half-ruined castle. They also made a few openings in the roof of two of the towers, which were set alight by the crack shooting of the ballista crews. Who managed to shoot several shots of flaming ammunition into the towers, thereby ruining them as well.

With the breach made, you once more invited the garrison commander to surrender. Once more, you were rebuffed, for vainly still, they clung on to the hope that the relief force would come for them.

''We have breached the walls and destroyed the two towers flanking it; if he's clever, the enemy commander shall vacate the outer walls and outer courtyard to concentrate his remaining forces within the inner section of his castle.'' You explained to your commanders.

''With their proper keep burnt, it is their last line of defence against us. I am not certain as to how many died in the fire, but I think he still has enough to keep the bare minimum of troops on the last line.''

The elven leader, Lord Palarran. Rose from his seat to plead with you for something. ''Your Majesty, if you would permit me, my troops and I could try to infiltrate the inner gatehouse at night. With the siege ladders ready, we could scale the walls and open the gate.''

''At night? And how will you keep from being detected by the guards?'' someone asked.

''We'll keep to the walls, under their noses, plain and simple. We elves have an innate sense to look in the dark, so we've got that advantage, and aside from that. Methinks we'll be more than enough to take on whatever guards are lodged there.''

It is a bold plan, risky too; if the Svengalians are alarmed, things might go extremely awry, but if it succeeds, it'll put the garrison between a rock and a hard place.

If you were to assault the walls right now, it would be 60 DC.
