The quiet pattering of the gentle rain is interrupted by a deafening explosion on the south wall of the Solacious compound, and a mob of beings, painted and dyed an inky black flood into the compound, scattering in several directions!
Angus quickly gets to his feet as he hears an explosion, his seat in his office slamming against the ground from the speed as he's already snatching his weapons belt before kicking the door open. He looks around, seeing if he can find a servant or one of his men. "What's going on?" He shouts, before heading towards the sound of the explosion.
Iorek's ear perk as he snaps around to the sound of the blast. Perched on a roof near the centre of town, the canine has been obsessed with waiting for the gang to strike again, this may be his cue as he slides down the ladder he set up before running towards the incident.
Angus is certainly not the only Solacious to mobilize. Attacking the Solacious compound is like kicking an especially angry sort of ant hill! Foxes and an assortment of other beings in Solacious house colors are swarming from all over toward the sound of the explosion.
A young fox in military gear, probably a distant cousin, stops to salute Angus, then hurries along beside him. "Explosion, Sir," he says, "Someone has breached the south wall of the compound. That's all I know."
Outside, it is hard to learn much more with the sea of angry Solaciouses swarming toward the breach in the wall. What DOES become readily apparent, is that the attackers have managed to entrench themselves pretty firmly. Beings are atop the wall, holding firing positions and rotating an almost constant barrage of pistol fire. They don't seem to be trying to hit anyone, neccessarily, but they are not letting anyone near the wall. Other beings wait on both the inside and the outside of the breach, all painted a solid, inky black.
Angus scowls as he comes upon the breach, ducking behind a wall as pistol fire is thrown his way. "Grab every being that has skill in earth mathemagics, bring that wall down on their heads! Once the wall of fire lets up we can charge the breach and seal it!" He shouts at his younger cousin. With that he takes a deep breath, switching out his soul gems as he keeps an eye on the intruders.
Iorek hearing the pistol fire and seeing the rubble and smoke rising from the wall of the compound, Iorek opts to move to a flaking position. Looking for a roof to get up onto for a vantage point, the idea strikes him to weaponise the vodka he has been carrying around, having sworn off it, yet unable to let it go.
He stops to force a bandage into the neck of the bottle well out of sight as he plans his next move, looking for a roof he can get onto.
"Yes Sir!" the young fox snaps off a salute and goes to relay Angus's instructions. Soon, a group of four beings, three foxes and a young bull, probably a fosterling from the Stronghearts, hurry up to Angus. "Sapping squad Delta reporting for duty, Sir," says the fox in the lead, all of them snapping off crisp salutes, "If you can get us a window," she says, "We can get that wall down. But it will make the breach wider." Other knots of beings are forming just outside of pistol range along the wall and activity can be seen on rooftops of nearby buildings. Whoever orchestrated this attack must have been an utter madman, or just stupid. These knuckleheads would be lucky to last ten minutes against this kind of trained force!
From outside the wall, Iorek can see a group of no more than twenty beings pressed up around the breach in the wall, half of them watching warily in both directions. It is easy to find a rooftop that looks out at the hole, but nothing high enough to see over the compound wall. A good throw wouldn't be a problem, though.
Angus Checks his musket, drawing the hammer back before pointing at the wall with his right hand. "We bring the wall down on top of them, The confusion should give you enough time to erect a temporary earth wall. We go from there repelling them, just like a wall breach in a siege." Poking his head out for a moment he scans the targets and who's on his side of the fight. "All groups, hold fire until given the order, we need to force them to take cover long enough for the sap team!"
Iorek feeling the best help he can be is to break their formation for the guards to counter attack, Iorek kisses the bottle before lighting it and lobbing it at the group of enemies around the breached hole.
Not taking the time to admire his work, strolls back into cover on the other side of the road before darting around to find a new vantage point.
The orders are passed quickly along as Angus takes charge. The constant cover fire does not waver, even though the Solaciouses have not made any real move to attack yet. And the attackers have shown no interest in actually firing at anyone, just tearing up the turf near the wall while the beings at the base sit and watch and wait. What are they waiting FOR!?
On Angus's order, most of the Solaciouses are waiting patiently behind cover, while a number of archers and even a contingent of windrunners have taken up positions on rooftops. All it will take is a word for them to rain down sharp, metal tipped death on the attackers.
The steady stream of gunfire is momentarily interrupted by the sound of breaking glass, a whoosh of flame, and the panicked cursing of a trio of beings on the outside edge of the waiting attackers. Three black painted heavy clanners stagger away from the group, dripping flames. Some of their fellows follow after, trying to bat out the flames and roll their companions about. There is an outcry from the group and fingers point out into the drizzling rain toward Iorek and a huge black bear peels away from the crowd to give chase!
Angus waits for the next time they need to reload, but his ears perk as he hears the shattering of glass and the burst of fire. "Volley, now!" He barks out the command as he comes out of cover, his musket up to his shoulder as he takes aim. Squeezing the trigger as the dragon's muzzle at the end of his barrel flashes an angry red.
Iorek hears the heavy foot thuds of the bear coming for him and waits just around a corner, blade ready. His plan is to sneak attack the bear as he goes to round the corner, a quick thrust to his neck and hopefully let the corpse fall back, so it's still in view of the other attackers.
The air thunders with the sound of gunfire as the Solacious line fires on Angus's order. There is a cry of dismay from the beings on the wall as they duck out of sight amidst the smoke and ricocheting bullets.
This is just the opening that the sapper team needs and the four beings charge toward the wall. Unfortunately, there are still quite a few defenders on the ground! A crew of eight heavy clanners of various species charge from beneath the shelter of the breach in the wall to engage the four sappers!
"Get back here you little pipsqe-" are the last words the bear ever says as Iorek's dagger slips smoothly under his ear and into the vital tissue beneath. The corpse does not tip back into the street, but follows his own momentum forward, slamming into the cobbles at Iorek's feet. It's a good thing that no one is out in the rain to watch all of this. Questions would doubtless be asked.
Angus Drops the musket, letting the strap around his chest catch it before it hits the ground as he draws a pistol. Taking aim he fires at the nearest heavy clanner, going for the eyes as his pistol falshes white. "Firing Line, bayonets and blades. Charge that breach and give them time!"
