[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 3369670, member: 40413"] Silas gives Caramip a grateful smile before turning back to the task at hand. [i]I wish Lord Kalnian were here; he's much better at this sort of thing...[/i] As the state of their arms becomes more clear Silas realizes that he is woefully lacking able-bodied men. Picking out a militiaman that he recognizes, he begins barking orders, [color=orange]"Janse, get those militia men swords and position them just behind the barricade. Give the others halberds. Armored militia in front. You there!"[/color] He points at a group of older men. [color=orange]"Grab a spear. Spread out and line up behind. You!"[/color] He points at another group of older men. [color=orange]"Grab bows and ready yourself to fire. Arrows [i]over[/i] our forces to rain down on orcs. Hurry, get ready..."[/color] At that moment he sees the howling orcs descending upon them like a cloud of locusts. [i]I need more time![/i] Shoving doubt and fear down he tries to present a collected face to his fellow Dorinthians. [color=orange]"Bowmen! Fire!"[/color] Silas grabs a nearby woman. [color=orange]"Get women to help you but get those children into the creek and out of sight. Make your way to the town square.

[color=orange]"Stand firm!"[/color] he yells. Hefting his staff he rushes forward to support their meager line of swordsmen and to meet the oncoming orcs... [sblock=OOC] Armored militia with swords and halberds in the front. Old guys/women with spears and halberds interspersed but a step behind. Old guys/women with bows just behind them.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
