The true story here was a fate to discover; the true story here was too simple to see...
As the sun starts to rise, a handful of people emerge from the trees, heading for the barracks gate. It's not another attack - for one thing, the group's a bit small and ragged-looking for that. For another, as they get closer to the gate those inside the barracks may recognize them, all friends or acquaintances who quietly went missing before the siege.
The Doctor's at the head of the group, practically running the last little distance to the gate and pounding on the door with his fist when he gets there.
"Oi! Can we come in, please?" he shouts at the top of his lungs - and those in cabins on the near side of the barracks are probably awake now, if they weren't before. He pauses for about two seconds before he starts pounding again. "Hello? Anyone?"
[[OOC: Those who were out in the Dark Woods and returning in the initial group, as well as people in the barracks, feel free to start your own threads in here. Converse among yourselves or corner the Doctor, whichever you'd prefer!]]
