The continued adventures of not Vikings

The messenger nods in acknowledgement to Leewans request and begins guiding him to Frey. Circumventing the growing camp within the walls the guide holds open the door to the main bailey politely informing Leewan that Frey is on the second floor. Leaving his personal guard outside, Leewan walks his way up the spiral stairs passing several soldiers moving boxes and items inside all the while hearing the booming voice of Lord Frey against the more levelled of Kleiners. Head crowning over the stairs Lord Frey and Kleiner cease their discussion and both turn to address Leewans arrival.
Frey gives a slight stoop to Leewan and says "Ah, Lord Griswald, I did not expect you to join us. Have you come to see what passes for accommodations in these lands? If so, I have secured rooms upstairs though the beds are about as comfortable as stone."
Before responding Leewan can see Frey and Kleiner are standing around a small map on a table. Soldiers work diligently around them moving barrels presumably containing supplies into stacks against the wall. Clearly, Lord Frey expects a siege.

Gwain, providing no response to Treachery's worry, puts his hand against the door and pushes it open. Inside, Gwain is mortified to find a dismembered Vengeance strewn across the floor of the room. The horrific visage of terror across Vengeances tells Gwain plainly the suffering he endured in his death. Quickly looking around the room Gwain sees two more bodies; that of the Cultivator and an unclothed Griswald soldier. The Cultivator's body is in the same condition as Vengeance's but the soldiers more pristine with a slit throat the only injury. Perhaps most concerningly of all the dirt pile that was in the centre of the room has been disturbed with the dirt scattered and mixing with the blood of the deceased.
Treachery, still standing in the doorway with hand over mouth, speaks quietly but the silence and Gwains alertness make it sound as though it is right in his ear "How did this happen? By Themis what monster did this?"
