There followed a horrid groan, as the castle oh-so-slowly swayed, leaned…

“MAGIC ram!” a besieger exulted. “TOTALLY worth it! How long do we have it for?”
“Until BEFORE the giant gets home,” another snapped. “His son was VERY firm about that.”
“Oh. We’ll stop at just the one castle, then.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 22, 2018
