[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8198506, member: 59816"] As the orcs charged forward, the defenders took turns firing arrows from the arrow-loops. The ogre took the brunt of the fire, and though the large brute looked like a pin-cushion, with arrows sticking out all over, he did not fall. The beast riders sank low in their saddles as they charged forward. The orcs covered a surprising stretch of ground in a short time, and some were able to throw a volley of javelins. As Dandin was retreating to his place near the north tower's fireplace, to let the elf guard take a turn, a javelin flew through the arrow-loop, struck the stone of the floor, and flipped over, striking him across the cheek with the flat side leaving a welt. It was worse at the south tower: The elf guard was struck in the side by a javelin. Though her armour stopped the tip from going in, it nearly knocked the wind out of her. As she was leaning against the wall wheezing, Lionel tried to look out and a javelin struck him as well, knocking him back. A rain of arrows struck about the arrow-loop's opening, but none came inside. On the roof, Angis was reloading his crossbow as arrows struck into his hay bale. He was glad for its protection, but his thoughts turned dark as he considered that it would only be a matter of time before one made its way over. Out there, in a tree, Tommi stayed quiet and still, watching the orc archer move around the tree. The archer peered up into the branches searching for him. Suddenly the archer drew and fired two arrows in quick succession. But the movement it had spotted was ORB5, not Tommi, and the little orb was struck once as it tried to dodge. It made a squeaking noise that sounded to Tommi like a cry, but it seemed that it was still intact. Just inside the door, Vairar could see through a nearby arrow-loop that some orcs had come up. They would be trying to break through soon enough.
