The explosions rattled the training compound. The Knights threw their girls aside and lept from the bed. Sir Kingplole flung open his door and saw that all of the Knights were looking at one another with just their heads sticking out. Sir Happy Stud said, "I think we better get our asses dressed man." And began to throw on his tunic and tights and grabbing his armor.
A runner came down the hall yelling for the Knights to hurry as the Kingdom was under attack.

The Knights met up in the conference room in verious stages of putting on their armor and asked the page, what was happening. He said, "The North wall has been breached by a powerful explosion and the courtyard is full of mounted men killing everyone in sight."

Sir JonPop said, "DO NOT PANIC. Do not run into the battle until we know what we are facing."
"Page, have our squires ready our mounts and get us somebody in here that can tell us what is going on." The page said, "Yes Sir Knight," and headed towards the stables yelling for the squires and trainees, as he left.

Young Prince Robert came running into the room, breathing hard he said, "Chung has used some sort of explsovie device to blast a gaping hole in the outer wall, he had a pre-made bridge to cross the moat and is now filling the courtyard and streets with his rogue Knights. There are no devices like that on Nib, so he must have had explosives smuggled in from an outside source. This is against Federation Law."
Sir Bret said, "Well a lot of good that does us now, can you give us a guess on the size of Chung's forces?" Prince Rob said, "I would guess just from a quick look as I was making my way here, that about 100 mounted and maybe another 200 soldiers are spilling into the Kingdom. They caught us at dinner and our soldiers aren't putting up much of a fight."
