Editing Battle of Oleg Keep (section)

=== Day 4 of the Siege ===
As the day dawns the flan villagers continue their scorched earth campaign, they move around the west side and finish their destruction of the fields and small hamlet outside the South Gate. No major casualties occur but a few of the forces spend time taunting the defenders by lobbing cows over the wall into the keep.


The barbarians join in the villages rampage and move out of the woods to the west, and sweeping south find the partial breach Strikirk's forces opened the day prior along the south east wall. They hit the screaming spears hard in a frontal assault who break ranks and flee in a route back to their tribal lands near the [[Ripper Mines]]. Most of the barbarians upon seeing the Braons forces rush to seal the breach, decide a drink and some looting is in order and move quickly SE to sack [[Grenvik]] village along with the flan villagers. The druids and Barons forces engage in combat but the outcome is a draw with both sides fatigued and are forced to withdraw from the field. 

High above the gnome airship with the PC's aboard heads in a slow arc from the SW where they had been watching the battle and move towards the keep. Barely two miles out, they see the 45th marauders marching out to meet the Elves advancing from the [[Ivae Orr]]. Using spells and arrows from a few hundred feet up in the air they blast them mercilessly, completely eliminating the unit. 


Below the PC's, their path now clear the Elves of the Ivae Orr use the trees as cover come up behind a unit of undead who were securing Oleg Road to the NW of the keep. The battle is a draw with both sides forced to retreat from the field, the elves returned to the [[Ivae Orr|Ivae Orr,]] while the undead move to rejoin the Vellor's to the NE of the keep. 

At the keep, the Barons forces unleash a catapult barrage upon any forces who have strayed too near the keep itself. They eliminate two barbarian units who remained near the walls after the mornings attack. The reminder withdraw to the nearby treeline.  

As the afternoon wears on Vellors forces move into [[Oleg Village]] from multiple directions and surround the [[Rippers]] 2nd battalion. After a brutal battle they eliminate the Rippers and using their unholy powers raise half the defenders to replenish their own forces and move towards the North gatehouse. As the undead pour through the streets towards the North Gatehouse, Vendrix the dragon swoops down and blasts the North gatehouse with his breath weapon. The blast sets off the sigil the Baron had secretly placed on the portcullis and steel shod doors the day before. Vendrix is wounded but remains near the castle. Vellors forces are now at the North gate.[[File:Oleg keep on fire.png|thumb|Breaching the walls of Oleg Keep]]The green dragon [[Selena]] and her rider [[Lady Furweather]] circling high above Oleg Keep decide to exact their revenge on the Baron, after the PC's convinced Selena that Vellor betrayed Vendrix her mate. The troops below Selena are a mix of the Barons forces and his Ripper allies who repel the attack but are now moderately fatigued and seek cover inside the Keep. Selena and Lady Furweather were unable to strike a decisive blow and realize they should have concentrated their attack on one unit at a time. They fly off to the NW to consider their next move.


As the day progressed the Drow and Druegar used their knowledge of the caverns and old mines beneath this part of the Blemu Hills to move unseen and breach the dungeon complex under the keep.
