Meanwhile, invisible Sonja ran to the enemy fortress with intention to use Spider's Climb spell to climb the fortress' walls under the cover of invisibility…

Within a couple of minutes, Sonja reached the enemy fortress' wall. And within another minute she climbed it, using Spider's Climb spell.

When Sonja climbed up, she noticed that two monstrous creatures stand at either side from her. One monstrous creature stands ten feet to the left, the other stands fifteen feet to the right. Neither of the creatures seem to pay any attention to Sonja, as Sonja is still under the protection of her Improved Invisibility spell. Each of the monstrous creatures look like massive, roughly humanoid toads with arms instead of forelegs. Each of the monstrous creatures wears large half-plate, and wields a large heavy crossbow in its arms. Also, the creature to the left carries a pair of greatswords, which he apparently wields as if they were longswords to him. While the creature to the right carries a huge scythe behind his back.

The wall itself is about twenty feet wide. About sixty feet to the south, Sonja saw the guard tower, which raised about thirty more feet above the walls. From their location, Sonja could see, that narrow stone bridge connected the guard tower with the main citadel. However, there are several more toad-like guards between Sonja and the guard tower, and there are some creatures atop the guard tower as well.

Still using her Spider climb, Sonja climb on the side ot the wall to the bridge then to the main citadel. She looked for the entrance to the citadel.

In fortress' courtyard, Sonja saw a larger amount of creatures - mostly either Vrocks or toad-like creatures, but there were some smaller pathetic-looking creatures, which seemed to be used only for labor, not for war.

When Sonja approached the citidel gates (which are twenty feet tall), she saw a pair of huge, over fifteen feet tall creatures), each of which wore a well-made breastplate and carried a weel-made gagrantuan halberd. Each of the creatures is powerfully-built, and has four arms - two upper arms end in powerful pincers, and two lower arms end in clawed hands, in which the creatures hold their halberds. The creatures have dog-like heads with sharp fangs and penetrating violet eyes. The creatures' skin is pitch-black.

One of the creatures looked in Sonja's direction...

Thinking to herself, Oh great tall black and ugly is looking my way. Best see if it really sees me. Sonja climb to the ground next to the main citadel entrance. Once on the ground she cast Mage armor on herself. Looking to see if anything was looking in her direction.

The second creature turned to Sonja's direction as well, while the first of them dropped his halberd, pointed at Sonja with index clawed finger of his right lower arm and said just one word in commanding voice:
"Freeze!"
If Sonja expected some sort of magical effect to follow, then nothing like that happened...

Just great Sonja thought to herself. Droping the invisbility She thought of trying to talk her way out of trouble since there two many around to fight off. Even with magic.
Well hello there. Now how was it that I even got this far. The demonic wizard would not be happy with such poor security.

"Why would Demonic Wizard care about that?!" barked the first creature, the one which is unarmed now.

"Yeah, and tell us just one reason why we shouldn't kill you on spot, stupid girl!" barked the second creature, the one who still had his halberd.

"Well, I know at least one reason to keep her alive!" barked the first creature, grinning.
