Cautiosly

The silence of the fortress felt off to Lyara, it was to quiet for a fortress supposedly filled with monsters. Lyara decided it would be best to approach the front gate carefully as to not alert anything near by. with her hand gripping the hilt of her sword Lyara stepped forward watching the main gate for any signs of movement, feeling the sense of foreboding increase as she got closer to the main gate.

"RAAAAAHHHHGGG" Lyara immediately jumped and hid in the nearest bush she could find at the sight of a large form emerging from the fortresses main gate.

"Damn, an Ogre" Lyara whispered to herself, as the large creature proceeded to stand by the main gate. "Must be a guard." She thought to herself.

Lyara knew she needed to find a way around the Ogre if she wanted to discover this fortress' secrets, but how would she go about it. For what the lack in intelligence Ogre's more than made up for with brutal strength and Lyara did not want to be on the receiving end of said force.
