SilentHawk & Rivia
Rivia
I’ve been looking at the old siege of the Black Gate—got to say, those defenders must’ve had some clever tricks up their sleeves. What’s your take on what might have really turned the tide?
SilentHawk
They had a trick hidden under the stone. A sudden release of fire from a concealed chamber, or a hidden gate that opened at the wrong moment. In a siege, it’s usually the element you didn’t count on that tips the balance. Probably a well‑timed feint that made the attackers abandon the front line. That's what turns a desperate defense into a legend.
Rivia
Sounds like a classic mix of guile and timing—exactly the sort of thing I love to uncover. Let’s dig the records, find the hidden chamber, and see if the fire was a bluff or a real weapon. Who knows? Maybe we can turn that legend into a plan for our own siege.
SilentHawk
Sounds like a plan. We'll sift through the old maps, find that hidden chamber, and see if it was fire or a ruse. If it worked then, maybe we can tweak it for ours. Let's get to it.
