Ranger made his way along the edge of the courtyard keeping an open eye for others as he tried to sneak up on the goblins guarding the door.

It didn't take long for Ranger to realize his ploy wasn't working, since the goblins kept pointing at him and laughing as he tried to move stealthily. However, they didn't seem terribly interested in coming after him, and both stayed at their posts near the door of the keep, watching as he "snuck" around.

... man I feel like an idiot.
Ranger gave it up and walked up to the goblins since they didn't seem to care beyond guarding the door. Maybe they would talk instead of fight.

As Ranger advanced toward the goblins, the continued to point at him and jeer. They laughed among themselves as one gestured for Ranger to come closer.
And then, as Ranger reached the spproximate center of the courtyard, the two goblins opened the doors behind them, stepped through, and slammed them shut, leaving Ranger alone in the courtyard.

>_> I hate goblins. Ranger made his way to the door and thought of how to open it. He was pretty sure another trap lay behind it but opening doors without being near them was quite a trick. He had nothing to use though so he simply opened the doors after making ready to fight.

Ranger tried to open the door, but found that it was secured, most likely with a heavy bar. It seemed that nothing short of a battering ram was likely to be able to get through now...

"Damn goblins," Ranger thought to himself. He left the dungeon and made way to Kestral to maybe find a little more direction for his lust for adventure.

Well, that was the idea, anyway...
Ranger had only made it about halfway back across the courtyard when a booming voice called out, "Halt, human!"
Ranger spun around to see a goblin shaman standing atop one of the ruined walls of the keep. It had obviously enhanced its voice so that it could be heard clearly over long distances.
"You have tresspassed in the domain of the Orc King Thu'raka!" it thundered, slamming the bottom of its staff into the brick for emphasis, "Now you must pay tribute! Should you decide to leave all objects of value in a pile in front of you, Thu'raka will show you mercy, and you will be allowed to leave this place. However, if you decline, we will use your remains as a sacrifice before the altar of the god of war!"
A loud creaking sounded to either side of Ranger, and he glanced about for their source. He was disheartened to see a team of goblins on each side, moving siege ballistae atop the castle walls to point down into the courtyard below. Beside them, Ranger could see others carrying the enormous bolts that the siege weapons use as ammunition, preparing to load them anew once they fire.
"Now, human, let us see how wise you are," boomed the voice of the shaman once again, "Make your decision, and live or die by your actions!"

"I didn't mean to trespass there was nothing to say this was his territory," Ranger said glancing nervously at the ballistas. How long would those bolts take to load. Ranger grabbed the bat wing and threw it out behind him as he ran for the door as quickly as he could.
"You can take that to your glorious Goblin King though!" Ranger said furiously over his shoulder. He thought to himself with fear though that maybe they did get loaded and ready to fire and maybe they didn't mess up the trajectory and miss.

Awww... I wanted to see you stay and fight. Ranger drops a Bat Wing.
Ranger bolted for the door without looking back, but it seemed that the oblins were better prepared with their ballistae than he thought. As soon as he made a sudden move, the first of the ballistae fired its payload. Fortunately, the weapons didn't seem to be terribly accurate, and the enormous bolt soared over Ranger's head before impacting off to his right, sending a shower of mud splattering away in all directions. Ranger had nearly reached the doors he had entered through when the second of the siege weapons fired, but it too missed its mark, impacting somewhere behind him.
As Ranger dashed through the doors and back into the outer courtyard, he heard the booming voice of the Shaman demand, "After him, you fools! Do not allow him to escape!"

Ranger kept running as fast as he could. He kept thinking of how he hoped to god he made it to Suryan(nearest town?) before those goblins caught up to him. He was rather sure he wouldn't be back here anytime soon.
EDIT: btw I soo knew that bat wing would have some great use hahahaha

As Ranger rushed for the doors, groups of assorted humanoids came charging out of the doors to other parts of the castle, in an attempt to intercept him. Several of these moved to interpose themselves between him and the exit...

Ranger looked up to see if there was any loose patches of ceiling. Perhaps he could trigger a cave in with a well placed arrow.
