Description

The soldiers hauled buckets of hot tar up the Barbican stairway in preparation for the invaders’ eventual breakthrough. The drawbridge had slowed them down, but with a final crack and pop, the last wooden beam and chain holding it up shattered. The barbarian invaders storm inside to begin breaking the last gate before granting them entry to the kingdom. At the captain’s command, the soldiers poured the boiling black liquid on the invaders through the chutes in the floor. It was the captain’s pleasure to drop the flaming torch after.

Archers / crossbowmen need a way to access the second row of arrow slits (top half of Lvl 1). Perhaps a wooden walk way with a ladder along the wall. Or perhaps just have one set at a height between the two current ones, and a raised stone platform inside the front towers.

  Thanks for great suggestion. I will add this to the request list.

Hi, once the attackers pass the gate, they have access to the stairs, before breaking through the second gate… it would be better if the stairs for the upper floors had their door out of the middle room. Not sure if it is possible to edit it.
