Everyone was on edge, the weather was changing and now a fog was beginning to form (was that lightning in the distance/). As the fog became thicker, the guard heard thumps near the castle walls but he could not see anything. He heard screaming around him, someone threw a shoe at him and nearly knocked him out.... A crossbow went flying by then the winds hit; the winds full of crossbow bolts, swords, all sorts of detritus from around the castle - his uniform disappeared, then his skin, then the muscles all flayed to the bone. This was repeated all over the castle - armies reduced to bones and the castle itself was reduced to rubble. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
