"Two are not enough to defend all four walls! Away to the keep!" shout Yu.
Yu run across the courtyard and open the large, wooden double doors, which shriek on rusty hinges.
"Unlocked? This may be a trap, my friend. We best be on our guard," Reg says.
Once inside, Reg slams and bars the doors. The entrance chamber is large with a high vaulted ceiling. The stone walls are cracked and flaking. The ground is strewn with loose rubble. The air is stale. Aside from the double doors behind Yu, there are closed wooden doors on the north, east, and west walls. Near the northdoor, there is a stairway going up, but it is blocked by rubble.
It is not long before the front doors begin to rattle violently. Through a nearby arrow slit he can see glowing eyes and the glint of axes chopping away at the door.
They are not sure how long the barred portal will hold them. Reg wants to hide deeper in the castle. On the other hand, this place smells of death. It might be prudent to take a few seconds to investigate the room and doors.
