[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8203213, member: 59816"] When the others had passed them by, ORB5 flew out of the tree and distracted the orc that was searching for Tommi, giving the lad the perfect opportunity to jump out and slash with gutter. The orc archer fell at Tommi's feet, gurgling and spitting blood. Arrows and javelins continued to strike at the walls as the defenders there took turns at the arrow-loops as the horde came on. The ogre stumbled after being struck by one of Angis' bolts, and fell to Escella's eldritch blast. As if in retaliation, Angis and Escella were both struck by arrows. The elf guards put a few arrows of their own into the ogress. As she arrived at the wall, she reached up and pulled herself onto the roof, knocking off roof-tiles as she clambered toward Angis while kicking at his covering hale-bale as she tried to reach his position. Sgt. Ryallan struck the auroch rider, but a one-eyed shaman was there, who blessed the rider with healing. The experienced elf guard had to move away from the arrow-loop, both to give Viarar room to thrust his spear, but also because he was battered by javelins. Lionel had managed to avoid the worst of the arrows and javelins, while striking a charging orc dead with his quarrel, but his partnering elf guard was staggered by an arrow. When the charging orcs arrived at the gatehouse wall, the first orc to arrive was struck dead by Dandin's arrow as he tried to climb up the side of the north tower. Several orcs, including the larger orogs carried picks and they began to hack away at the arrow loops, attempting to make them wide enough for an orc to find entry. The orogs were just tall enough to attempt to pick away at the lower edge of the arrow loops on the two taller towers, while four orcs took turns taking chunks of stone out of the edges of the openings on either side of the door. Suddenly, the auroch lowered its head and charged; slamming its horns into the solidly reinforced door. At the same moment, the rider thrust out a fiendish-looking pike. The bull had little effect on the small door and the beast staggered back, but the door buckled under the force of the powerful pike-thrust. The sound was incredibly loud in the tight space in front of the door and it left the defenders there with ringing ears. For now the door held, but it would not hold for long.
