<< In my city of Bral (which is landbased, there is going to be an invasion.
Scro in about 30 ships (see Ships of the Goblinoids) about 300 troops per
vessel) are going to launch an invasion on Bral (Which has 6 ships)? So how
long would this attack last? Bral's navy has 6 vessels and many merchants
have vessels as well. Would the Scro (Orcs) attack more likely be at night?
And what if any success would they have against a town which is essentially a
pirate haven? I will be posting this question to the Spelljammer list too, so
sorry to those who will get this twice. Any help would be appreciated.  >>

That's hard to say.  The Rock of Bral, btw, lists Bral's fleet as 6
hammerships, 8 squidships, 2 lampreys, 3 tradesmen, and a vipership, for a
total of 20; Bral also has fixed defenses.  This doesn't count any privateers
that may be in port, or adventuring crews, etc.  How the scro fleet is
composed will be extremely important.  30 mammoths could probably shatter the
defending ships relatively easily.  30 dragonflies would get swatted.

Their success is open to question, as you haven't indicated how you're
planning on having them run the city when and if it falls.
