Battle at Harkon Manor

[Gondsman]

Relaxing his grip on his bow, Lurik waits as the Treylor slowly advance rather than charge the barricade.

[Myth and Legend]

Lora was of little use without a ranged weapon, so she in stead tried to make sure Marko didn't succeed with his attempt at comitting suicide. "Jump over the barricades and take up a position on the edge to provide assistance with hand to hand combat!"

While she was directing the shoemaker, the girl drew a square in the air with her index finger, and muttered the verbal components of a spell: "Roarth 'ned Abjura"!

Nothing happend visibly, but the girl knew that a shield made of pure magical force now protected her.

[sblock]Lora casts shield. Duration is 4 minutes.

Marko, Field of Battle

Round 2, Intv 3:

Marko gave a salute to Loreen's command. He didn't grin because of his minor injuries but they wouldn't slow him down. After a loud yell of defiance toward his oncoming opponents, he took off sprinting to assist Jareth's location on the wing. It was a annoying run as he passed over the arrow-covered field.

He slipped in between the barricades and patted the huddled men on their shoulders as he went. The wooden structures were riddled with shafts from the elves fierce attack but surprisingly none of defenders appeared wounded. That made him smirk as he turned about to watch the enemies advance.

ooc: move: 5,4. free: shout.
ooc: Hp: 19. Ac: 20.

 

[Dragonwriter]

Jareth grips his chain tightly, his knuckles going white as the hail of arrows continues. They’d have to break off sometime… At least it seemed they weren’t going to attempt a flanking maneuver. He sees Marko come around an end of his barricade and looks around at the others with him. The arrogant fool, that one from Skazul’s library, was nowhere to be seen. What a surprise, the young man thinks, a grimace going across his face. No one pays attention or follows instructions.

He nods at Marko, noting the slight injury the man received from an arrow. The young red-haired human takes a quick look over the barrier and grits his teeth, noting the slow approach of the enemy. This was going to be a long day…

HM, so you can update your Status thing, I have my spiked chain in hand. I guess you may have missed it in my earlier post…

Having seen his first shot disappear into the trees, without any obvious effect, Trinham decides to re-target. Dropping down behind the barricade, he reloads his crossbow while waiting for the next flight of Treylor arrows to arrive. Once the wave is over, Trinham pops back up. Seeing the elves hiding being their shield wall, he almost decides not to fire. Quickly deciding that he has enough bolts and that they are better sticking in the elves than laying in the quiver, he takes a shot at the nearest formation.

End of Round 2

The Treylor advance and the defenders ready themselves for the melee about to begin.

Marko runs to the cover provided by the barricades and Jareth nods at seeing another sword to cover this flank.

Lora not getting any response from Claude works her magic to help protect her in the coming melee. As Lurik also in the center of the viliagers watches the Treylor advance from a hole in the wall. A perfect arrow slit he holds his bow ready to fire.

Trinham and the others on the right let losse another barrage of arrows and everyone is shocked to hear the cry of pain from one of the Treylor. Looking you can see a lone warrior left behind on the ground, as the rest of the infantry keep their steady pace. First blood to he Treylor, but first kill to the defenders.

Marko, Field of Battle

Round 3, Intv 3:

"Switch me" Marko pardons the soldier in front of him. He desired the position that would bring him parallel with Loreen. As close to the enemy as possible. He winked at Jareth as he inched closer to the open field.

The Treylor were likely to charge the last leg of the field. With the barricades in place, no counter charge was available. He thought about having a few volunteers step back to create a bottle-neck at the bend? ...but decided against it.

The wooden defenses were riddled with arrows now and heavier than ever. He did not expect the enemy forces held the power to move them, but you never know? "Best to hold position and let them come to you." He thought to himself. Marko's longsword rested comfortably in his right hand. He did his best not to grip it too hard as a nervous soldier was apt to do. Power came from a quick response, not tense muscles.

At this point there was little Marko could do. He just concentrated on his stance for when the elves would finally sound the charge.

ooc: move: 6,4. action: total defense.
ooc: Hp: 19. Ac: 20+4.

[Fangor the Fierce]

Malaroc takes in the defenders, noting that they are a mix of the villagers, men at arms and another sparse gathering of more seasoned warriors. His morningstar in hand, he flexes his gauntlets; their spikes not impeding his range of motion in the least.

"Should you be injured, stay close to me until we close to melee."

Choosing to simply stay alert, Malaroc, known to those that know him as 'Mal', waits, biding his time.

[sblock=Speed Up]
Mal is going to keep his Vigor aura up, to allow the defenders the best chance against these arrows. Should they hit, then at least those with large wounds can heal a little. Will keep this aura up until melee.

Question - Does this manor have a large stable? Is so, how many horses would there be. Just brainstorming, to see if a stampeded them into the heart of the attackers would allow them to be split, and the defenders could have some decent surprise for them.[/sblock]
