And when you play hail to the chief...

We went to the king, presented the ring, defeated the Whispering Ones, then fended off assassings who came in through the roof as the Ruk Shol began to sack the city. The King and his guards went to central gardens, while Azariah ran off to get the other PCs still at the barracks.

The party begins to go towards the gardens. Andreas gathers some survivors, then temporarily relieves the defenders of the castle so that they can retreat. They then make a way towards the king, who Nobo'ru saw trying to get to the trees. Andreas gathers soldiers and civilians as they go towards the grove.

Soren arrives at the grove and scouts for Azariah as he searches for Urash tree seeds, and finds some. Azariah and Soren go to reach the King while Andreas performs a breakthrough action to help the King. We successfully do so.

Andreas plans to seize the siege weapons in the outside of the city and turn them on the Ruk-Shol, Nobo'ru gets out of the grove with Soren and Kah-sim'dul's help. He finds that the artillery is guarded by about 30 Ruk-Shol and that the artillery is at the rear of the Ruk'Shol army and unguarded.

The Borad Elamites send a messenger from Bahirim comes to ask Andreas for advice. They coordinate a breakout operation to get to the artillery.

Kas-sim'dul gets the Priests of the Stars to call down meteors on the Ruk Shol line as the Borad-Elamites and party charge into the breach. After some intense fighting to get to the artillery, they succeed in routing the Ruk Shol guarding and manning the devices and prepare to turn them on the Ruk Shol army as more Ruk Shol bear down on them.
