[QUOTE="Switchblade, post: 4544514, member: 56246"] [SIZE=2]For things to do: There is a successfull enemy escalade and their commander orders them to blunt the attack and fight their way along the wall to the ladders/seige tower to drive the enemy from the wall before the fort is over run. The enemy commander is unlikely to be leading such a suicidal attack. Countermining. A countermine has intersected an enemy mine, in the close quarters only 2 or 3 people wide quality beats quantity. The PCs are there to wipe out the sappers and their guards and fire the mine at a safe distance from the walls. A sally. After "dark" the PC's sally forth to attack and spike the enemy siege engines. (Against undead/goblins etc it's more likely to be under the cover of sunlight...) Hold the breach. Force back the horde before the enemy elite arive, clearing the way for their own commanders to cast a wall of X to fill the breach. Have commanders screaming orders for them to always be reinforcing a different wall, keeping up the presure and not giving them time to look for the enemy commander. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
