The watchtowers at each corner are 20 feet square. The catapults are broken-down, in no condition to be fired, and would take many weeks of work to repair to that point. The gate is 30 feet wide and the doors swing outward.))
[OoC Outward? That changes things. I was going by the map, which shows them swinging in]
"We need to rethink how we are getting thegates closed. The safer way would be for two people to hang drop down the outside of the wall, and close them from the outside. We could have braces stashed behind the open doors to be used to brace them shut. the problem with that plan means two people have to do it and that means two less people able to be involved in much of the battle. They could tie off ropes to climb back up , but that will take them valuable time."
"The alternative is pretty grim though. Pulling the gates shut from the inside in the midst of battle."
