Just Outside the Main Gate, Friday Morning

[bitchprince]

He'd been assessing people resources for most of the previous day. Since there had yet to be word from Lady Zoe, Arthur took the opportunity today to scope out how much space there would be for a barricade - if one could even be feasible.

This brought him to the area just outside the gates, wearing full armor and backed by Merlin-the-idiot-sorcerer, his eyes shooting towards the road in front of them from time to time.

[[ open, especially to merlin, and zombie-ok as well! ]]

"Arthur?" Dinah came by after helping Tahiri set up the beginnings of the barrier, now more than a few feet high and steep on the side facing the road. "If you're talking to Principal Winchester, maybe you could ask her if there's a reason not to dig a trench in front of the barrier? I was thinking maybe Ronan could do that, with magic. If he can, I'm not sure, though. But I don't want to hit sewer lines or anything that's going to flood the road."

Ronan. Magic. His father wouldn't think very highly of that idea, but unfortunately, time was running out to contend with that. "...There's... lines... underneath the ground?"

Okay, and there was that part.

"Pipes?" Dinah offered. "Maybe. To get the water inside and out. It'd flood, if they're here at the gate, which might keep zombies away but it'd cut off the chance of anyone getting in, too. But there should be maps that the Principal can check to see if they're here, or running on the other side of the buildings." She bit her lip. "Ronan managed to melt and heat up a huge rink of ice that was in the theatre a few weeks ago. If he can do something similar with earth, well. It'd be great. We don't have time for shovels, is the thing."

Merlin could probably manage it as well.

He chewed on his lip and considered the barricade that was starting to take shape. "I'll be seeking an audience with her as soon as I can," he said, "I'll make mention of it."

Relieved, Dinah said, "Cool. I'll tell Tahiri you're checking." She turned to head back to her portion of the barricade. "And if they have any extra barbed wire that'd be awesome too."
