Stampede

There was a sizeable hole in the wall that had been excavated. An odd thing, indeed. It was large enough to fit three carts in, if they all ran side by side. It was a curious decision for a defending party to make, but likely one the enemy still could not see. It lay to the villagers instead gossip, and try to come up with a reason.

If they had more than half a brain, and they connected the mass of cattle that were fenced in beside it, then it might be that they hit upon an explanation.
