[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8222029, member: 59816"] Things began to go badly at the gatehouse. The door was down, and Vairar and Sgt Ryallan struggled to hold the breach. Blow after blow thundered down on his shield as Vairar strapped it into place. The boar-rider had taken a serious shock from Vairar's lightning, but stayed on, such was orcish tenacity. Vairar's host of elven spirits swarmed about, doing their best to bring down the foe. Their presence kept the majority of the orcs at bay for now, but they threw javelins and arrows into the breach. Sgt Ryallan could not stand to such an onslaught, and he was brought down by an arrow that struck him between his helmet and shoulder plate. At the north tower, the orog struggled to get his pick into the stone of the arrow-loop. Dandin put an arrow into his shoulder, and left the elf guard there (who was struck by an arrow as he moved up, but his helmet saved his life). Dandin found his bear waiting in the hall and he moved toward the main gate-room. The portcullis was half-up, to give those at the gate a chance to pull back. Dandin wondered if now was not the time as he saw the elf sergeant fall and Vairar, standing behind his shield, blocked blow after blow, while Escella and another elf guard tried in vain to find targets out of the remaining arrow loop. In the south tower, Lionel stabbed down at the orog there. He was doing well - holding his own against a terrifying foe. His elf guard companion fired an arrow past his hip that struck the orog in the eye, and it fell dead below the opening. Then there was shouting, cursing and grunting as two orcs took up the spot, climbing on the large body of their fallen ally. They struck their picks into the stonework and a piece of the wall crumbled down, showing them in brick and dust. The wall now open wider, an arrow came through and struck the elf guard in the stomach. She fell on the floor and gurgled, leaving Lionel alone, saddened and frightened. On the roof, Angis traded blows with the Ogress. He struck her twice with his axes before being knocked hard with her club. He grunted and spat and for a moment, he forgot all his troubles. Down the road, Tommi ran and a boar rider chased him. In turn, ORB5 chased the rider, firing little missiles that struck the orc, but failed to slow him down. Tommi felt shooting pain as the rider's pike struck him from behind, and he stumbled forward. It was close, but it was not yet a fatal blow. The pain made his eyes tear up, but through the haze, could see a raven flying toward him.
