[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8186438, member: 59816"] The horde charged forward while arrows flew from one side to the other. Most did not find their mark; the range was long, the light dim, and the targets moving (on the one side) and behind solid stone (on the other). Most of the orcs ignored Tommi, had they seen him at all, as he climbed into the branches of a short, but thickly-grown old tree. Its gnarled trunk and limbs provided easy hand-holds for him to get up, and its thick growth provided much cover for him to hide in. ORB5 flew over to join him. The curious little orb was in stealth-mode: Its usual little lights were out and its usual buzzing and squeaking were silent. Tommi found it a great comfort to have a friend nearby, strange as it was. An orc archer stopped running not far from the tree, and she scanned the branches, looking for them. Tommi could feel his heart beating and he held his breath, but the orc couldn't see him. Angis saw his quarrel strike the ogre and he began to reload. He was glad for his bale of hay, as an arrow that was flying for him struck it and lost all momentum before bouncing off the mounted crossbow. An elf guard fired out the arrow-loop and then moved aside for Lionel to take the position as arrows clattered off the stonework outside. Lionel wondered just how safe he would be peeking out. The arrow loop was narrow, to be sure, but it was not impossible for an arrow to find its way through. As Lionel peeked out, one struck the edge and he ducked reflexively. The elf guard nodded grimly to him in support. Viarar chanted blessings to the others as he held the door open for Escella. When Tommi failed to arrive, he closed the door and they sealed it tight.
