For well over an hour, nothing happened. Only the quiet night surrounded the mining camp, and the laborers were getting drowsy and quietly speaking -- wondering if the Drow had already given up and left.
Then Leah, followed closely by Adoett and Gorin, began to hear a sound. A strange, continuous grating noise, as if it was some ambient sound of nature. It was barely audible at first, and then slowly began to grow.

The gnolls doesn't find any bleeding out drow inside the walls. It seems most of the injured burned to death after that last Firedrake blast. The illusion of hell also subsides after a few minutes.
The overseer organizes the laborers to seal the three tunnels using whatever rock and debris they have available inside. They focused on closing the inside segments of the tunnels, as the first gnoll who tried to bring materials to the tunnel's external entrance almost got shot by an arrow. It was clear the attackers haven't left yet.
The 4 gnoll laborers who died were brought to the courtyard and laid in a row. It seemed clear that those in the north tower were grappled by Black Tentacles and then killed by arrows from outside the fort.
In light of that, the Overseer asks: "should we keep manning the towers and their ballistae? or should we be only keeping a lookout there?"
Meanwhile... the waiting game resumes (any preparations?)

After the Repair and the first Cure spell, Goodberry is at 14 HP with no non-lethal.
He then reaches over to Ahz and does a Transfer Wounds
2d6+5 = 9+5=14 sending 9 to Adoett and 5 to the Ogre. Goodberry takes the 9 nonlethal.
Then Gorin's second Cure goes off, bringing Goodberry up to 21/37 with 2 nonlethal.
Goodberry then drops Ahz (full HP afaik) from the network and adds the Overseer.
Goodberry uses 2 Transfer Wounds on the Overseer, sending overflow to the Ogre:
8+5 = 13 healed, Goodberry at 10 nonlethal
5+5=10 healed, Goodberry at 15 nonlethal
Goodberry then spends 2 turns manifesting Natural Healing at 1PP from cognizance crystals to heal himself 3HP each cast, 6HP total
He then spends 3PP from his inherent COgnizance Crystal to manifest Natural Healing at 3PP healing the Overseer and the Ogre for 6 each, sending Overseer overflow to the Ogre.
Current status:
Goodberry: 27/37 HP, 9 nonlethal, 14/40 PP remaining, no cog crystals remain, 2 Transfer Wounds left
Adoett: Full HP 15/22PP, 1PP cog crystal
Overseer: 29/??
Ogre: 32/40
He will also call for any drow who are bleeding out to be stabilized and brought to him. Or him to them, he doesn't care which. From there he will Steal Health to drain the last reserves into his group, this only works if the drow in question are at least level 3 and have a CON score.

Gr1 kills an extra drow as they retreated from the walls. The remaining 8 warriors vanish into the night. After a few moments, he calls over to Adoett and the overseer: "I count 23 drow bodies!"
The gnoll overseer spoke to the other laborers around the Firedrake for a moment, before turning to Adoett:
"Well that's all of the Firedrake ammo," he kicked the now useless piece of artillery. "Looks like y'all were pretty successful here fending them off. Wish I could say the same -- that Black Tentacle spell and their archers killed all three of my boys in the north tower. Only I got away, barely," he nursed the two broken-off arrow shafts in his shoulder. "Seems like y'all choice to defend the courtyard and not the wall was the right call."

For a brief second, DO looked as if it withstood Leah's Mind Thrust, but then the persistent power plows through the drow's mental reserves and lash into its mind (nat20 save followed by nat2). The drow leader's eyes rolled into his head as he collapsed like a doll with its strings cut.
The gnoll overseer slams the trigger as soon as Adoett steps aside. The Firedrake roars, and a gush of flame swallows 5 of the drow inside the walls. 2 of them were lit on fire, and they ran about screaming for a few seconds before dropping dead; a 3rd drow ran out of the tunnels in a similar state before burning to death. 3 others were badly burned by the flames, and any remaining will to fight shattered.
Adoett then moves back up to the remaining drow.
The gnolls behind Gorin unleash another crossbow volley against the remaining drow on the walls, but proved largely ineffective as only a single bolt struck one of the warriors.
With their morale shattered, the drow warriors began retreating. The archers outside vanished back into the darkness, while those inside the walls all rushed to evacuate through the tunnels.

Ahz's Springal volley hammers strikes its intended target. DO took only light wounds thank to the defending bone blocking some shots. However, 2 of the drow in the rear and 1 just inside the walls were killed by the downpour of arrows, while 3 of those atop the walls took heavy damage.
Gorin's attack grazes off the drow's breastplate. Although by this point, he could tell that the drow warriors' morale was beginning to break after their heavy casualties.
Gr1 shoots and kills one of the drow atop the walls who had been injured by Ahz's Springal volley.
A badly injured gnoll overseer moves into view from the northeast, having retreated back from the north tower. He takes control of the Firedrake and readies the shot. With bloody vengeance in his eyes he cries to Adoett: "step back!"
The DO points towards the central Keep and calls down a beam of to illuminate the Keep's NE corner, where the force bolt emerged last round to strike him. It served as a signal for the 4 drow outside the walls, who sent in a volley of arrows. As Ahz had moved back to fire the Springal, it was Goodberry whom -- looking over the battlefield -- ended up being the unfortunate target.
All 4 arrows struck him one after another, dealing (11 + 7 + 12 + 13 = 43 piercing/magic damage) and lighting him up with Faerie Fire (although this didn't matter as he dropped unconscious behind the protective battlements).

DO levitates up the outer wall, until Gorin, Leah, and Adoett could see this drow leader for the first time. He wore no armor but a layer of semi-solid shadows seem to wrap around his body.

At Adoett's signal, the gnoll manning the Firedrake slams its trigger, and a cone of flames pour of its nozzle. 2 of the drow were roasted outright. 2 more managed to dodge the bulk of the flames, but their sustained injuries left them barely standing. Some of the flames then bounced and flooded into the tunnels, and 2 drow soon ran out, screaming in pain with their bodies on fire. Both of them sank to their knees almost as soon as they entered the courtyard, their endurance exceeded by the painful burns.
Three of the laborers began reloading the Firedrake, while Adoett moved up to block the way and the ogres lining up behind him.
The gnolls atop the Keep shifts the Springal back into position and cries to Ahz: "ready!"
One of the drow that barely survived ran up to attack Adoett (attack of opportunity)
The other one stabbed at Leah's Astral Construct with a rapier, but merely bounced off its deflective armor. However the drow still inside the tunnel does score a hit on the Construct ( 7 pierce damage )
The gnolls behind Gorin reload their crossbows and unload another volley. They manage 1 hit and 1 crit this time, killing the drow on the AC's flank and badly injuring the one in the tunnel.
More drow rush out of the left hand tunnels, stepping over their dead comrades' burning bodies. Two of them move up to Adoett and attack him. One misses, but the other stabs his rapier into an artery ( 13 piercing damage )
Three drow managed to scale up the outer walls with grappling hooks.
Three of the drow at the rear, noticeably blinded by Ahz's Glitterdust, began to grope about and retreat (with a fourth trying to help his friend). However two 'warning' shots soon came from the darkness outside the keep, which murders one of the retreating drow. A stern voice bellowed in their tongue: "death to cowards! turn and fight!"

Ahz's springal shot was off the mark again (3 squares to the southeast), though the incoming wave of drow presented such a big target that its rain of arrow caught a half dozen of them anyway. After he shoots, the three gnolls atop the keep rushed to begin reloading the weapon.
Gorin's warning caused the gnolls on his side to huddle against the main building. None of them wanted to risk being hit by flames sprouting from the firedrake.
Ranger1 lit up a Sunrod and haphazardly threw it outside the walls, unwilling to peek his head over again in fear of retaliatory fire. It landed in the breach and lit up the area (noted on map; those on walls/keep have direct visibility), just in time to see a mass of at least two dozen drow rush to the walls and begin making their way through the 3 tunnels. Meanwhile in the back of the formation, a drow ('DO') who seem to be clad in shadows sends off a burst of magic (spellcraft: Recitation) before marching forward, all the while shouting at the lesser warriors and driving them into the breach.

The first 6 drow squeeze through the tunnels and emerge into the courtyard.

Then, 2 minutes past the discovery of the tunneling creepers, a thunderous blast erupted from just outside the walls.
"The palisade... it just blew up! Whole chunk just outside the breach," Ranger1 reported, clearly not understanding what just happened.
Ahz and Goodberry both knew enough to guess (passive spellcraft): Explosive Runes could discharge a number of ways. The best case scenario meant it just killed a drow trying to sneak up. Or -- given Shurya revealed the defenses to the drow -- they triggered it with a Dispel on the outer wall.
Second later, another Vision of Hell erupted to bring inferno landscape to the material plane. This one only 50ft-radius and centered on the north walls (center marked VoH on map). It caught the north tower and all of those around the Firedrake in its area. Both of the ogres and all but one of the gnolls near Adoett looked shaken by the disturbing visage.
( Will save vs Fear from Adoett )
Then, almost at the same time, the Gnoll ranger shouted out: "DROW! MANY! 60FT OUT FROM 12'O CLOCK!"
The twang of his bow could be heard as he fired the first shot. Four arrows replied from the darkness in exchange. By the time the Ranger crouched back down to take shelter behind the battlements, two shafts were lodged in his shoulders.
"I think they're real..."
Adoett could hear the poor guy coughing up blood above him.

Cernandlon notes that the Sarcophogi use to have some holy symbol etched into them, but someone scratched them out. Likely as part of defiling the church for the demons.

Epicette deftly dodges the grub that leaps at her, and manages to plant her palm firmly on the Bodak's arm, searing it with positive energy.
Cernandlon's arrow thunks solidly into the Bodak, with a wave of psionic energy rippling over the creature as it falls to the ground at Epicette's feet, and starts to disintegrate like the other dead Bodak. (Know: Religion tells you guys this is normal reaction when a Bodak dies, this is already assumed success).
Loot: On the Nabasu you find a +2 Battleaxe.
Jestak still seems to be bleeding from the Grub burrowing through her arm, and has taken CON damage.

The attack from elsewhere didn't surface immediately. Only the hellish illusory landscape continued to plague those inside the fortifications. After 8 minutes, the illusion ceased as well, and still no attack was coming.
Then, a shout emerge from the northeastern tower: "THE WALLS! THEY'RE TUNNELING THE WALLLS!"
The gnoll ranger on the north tower was quick to report over the channel: "I don't see anything..."
From the Keep's northeast edge, Ahz's darkvision soon saw what they mean: three small holes had appeared on the inside of the soft, limestone walls. Some kind of fungus was chewing its way through the stone, rapidly enlarging the tunnel while supporting it with some kind of fungal tube network. The holes weren't large enough to fit a humanoid yet, but they were steadily growing...

Ahz sends a volley of arrows soaring out of the springal and into the moonlit skies. His sensor surveyed the target (now 70ft from the south tower) and he noticed his targeting was off... by 5ft. One of the hill giants groaned as he took a handful of arrows, and the drow caster screamed curses as she took two as well. The drow soon stopped 100ft away from the walls, and simply pointed the giants towards the gate.
The two giants continued their march upwards, soon coming within 60ft of the south tower. Each of them dropped one of their giant boulders on the ground while readying the other to throw. The gnoll overseer soon yelled "GIANTS! BOULDERS INCOMING AT MAIN GATE!" He then aimed the southern ballista and shot...

Leah felt something twist inside her. She didn't really understand why. She should be excited, but this was decidedly not it. Was it the time in the cities? Had it made her weak? Leah didn't know, she didn't like it, but that didn't change anything about it: She was terrified.
