Task 8: The Fortress

[Mia Fountain]

Since Sandmen are at least partly made of sand, I think they might have a sand fortress nearby, draw or describe this sand fortress in 50 words or more. Does it have a moat? How many sentries are there, where are they posted? Are there any towers? How defensible is it? Does it have any visible weaknesses?

[Iverian Gnash]

The castle is a sandcastle with a crystal clear blue mote around it. The moat had one small bridge to get across to and a sentry is guarding it at the castle entrance. On the castle is a large door that swings down like a drawbridge to let sandmen in and out of the castle. There are two towers to keep watch from at opposite corners of the tower.

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

The sandmen are rather clever, and have partially hidden their fortress within a natural fortress of granite boulders and backed into a shallow cave in the hugeness of the granite rock. That way no one can approach them from the rear and prevailing winds would have a lesser chance of blowing away the structure of their walls.
No moat is needed, but they do have some deadfalls located here and there. The entrance is of a narrow space between huge granite boulders. Mostly the 'castle' is of one floor, with only a couple of higher turrets sticking up at either side of the entry to watch out for intruders.
