Dinner proceeds with suitable decorum - and much merriment, particularly among the local defenders.

However, it's easy enough to get the story from one of the soldiers who got portaled in.
About three weeks ago, the followers of Illara approached King Darien IV, saying they had received visions of demons attacking Castle Greywind, and asking him to send troops to the region. The king, of course, refused.
And that was the way things stayed, until this morning, when a rather bedraggled messenger finally arrived, and (after some deliberation), Darien finally deigned to allow a few soldiers to head north. Fortunately, one of the officers was a follower of Illara, and contacted the church to arrange for rapid transportation.
