Merrun yawns and says, "Thanks for the great meal. If I am to be up for an early watch, I had better rest now. You can refine the plan as you want, just tell me in the morning."
Oleg nods, "Very well, take the key to the leftmost room." He hands it over and Maerrun walks off also holding the spyglass. "Oh, there are only for rooms between five. My apologies, I wasn't prepared."
Oleg continues, "As for holding them if they surrender, the study in my building can lock, as can the front door. I can move my things to another room to accommodate prisoners - or we can punish them properly with hangings.
"I think this plan is ready as it is. It's still early in the night and I'd like to thank you all for doing this. I have already given you room and stabling, but I'd like to open a good wine, I think the occasion calls for it. Svetlana, please bring the vintage one from Pitax, the Sarain red of 4699."
Shivas was about to retire herself when Oleg spoke of sharing wine for the occasion. Not wanting to be rude she stayed seated and waited to have a small drink with those who stayed. Shivas didn't drink much as it addles the brain when you've had too much. She was in the company of friends and so she would share in a toast for change and a new day. Raising her glass she said, "To new friends and a new day of freedom." Looking to Oleg and Svetlana with admiration and respect she then turned to include all in her gaze. Consuming what was in her glass, she returned the toasts of others. Hugging Svetlana she bid them all goodnight. Nodding her respects to every one there she retired to her room for the evening. Praying for all who where there and a few who weren't, she went to sleep.

Tarak drank a single glass of wine with the others and shared in Shivas' toast. After a short celebration, he retired to bed. After a bit of tossing and turning he drifted off to sleep.
Aliora looks apprehensive, but everyone joins in the toast.
Theaton finds out that the four corner towers aren't hollow, just raised platforms filled with wood and dirt. The only way up was via a ladder on the east wall or south wall's west side. But the sparse clouds do not threaten rain.

As the first rays of light appear on the morning of the 1st of Pharast, Svetlana knocks on the three closed doors, waking all up. There is a light fog in the morning, appearing to lift quickly across the plain fields.
Maerrun is sitting on a basket of rocks on the wall, keeping a lookout lazily.
Shivas dons her armor and prays to Sarenrae to be with them all and guide them during their battle today. She hears the wake up call of Svetlana, already prepared she makes her way out side to join the others.
Noticing Maerrun's lazy watch she looks to him and says loud enough for him to hear. "Look alive Sir, we do not want to be caught unaware." Winking at him with a slight smile to show she didn't mean it to be a rebuke only to up his moral.
Shivas looks to the others, "Are you ready?" Shivas says with enthusiasm trying to light the fire in their hearts. "When we prevail Svetlana and Oleg will be that much safer. It will be because of all of you! We will over come the forces of evil. Maerrun when they come close signal us so that we may all find our hiding spots."

Minutes after Svetlana wakes him, Tarak emerges from his room ready for battle. His armor was strapped on tight and he carried his bow in his hand. His greataxe and a quiver of arrows where strapped to his back. Tarak nodded to Shivas as she gave her pep talk and then tried to eat a little breakfast before the fight.
