From behind the horse that Ithiken was just on, a low murmuring can be heard. It's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from, but it's there. Then suddenly a shimmering disk springs into existance with an energetic warble behind the horse, but then it immediately fades out of view. (Cast Shield on self) To anyone who might've been paying attention, the sounds of footsteps would then be heard moving away from the battle to the walls of the gate. (Move action to U21)

Round 2.

From behind the horse that Ithiken was just on, a low murmuring can be heard. It's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from, but it's there. Then suddenly a shimmering disk springs into existance with an energetic warble behind the horse, but then it immediately fades out of view. To anyone who might've been paying attention, the sounds of footsteps would then be heard moving away from the battle to the walls of the gate.
Miltiades backs his horse up 5' and tries to cast a spell, but the horse is quite panicked and Miltiades decides to let it off and control the frightened mount.
"Timtza et Ha'mehashef Ve Taarog Oto!!!" shouts the Gnoll leader and attacks the priest, luckily for Miltiades, he deflects the swords.
Korbryn growls low in his throat, ignoring the sting from the axe wound. Seeing the brute crumple to the ground, the mighty dwarf turns his attention to the nearby gnolls. He aims a mighty side strike at the first, hoping to cut him down, and his companion as well. The first strike chop down the head of the gnoll who tried to dodge the sword, the sword continues in a perfect slice arch and opens a wide deep gap in the torso of the gnoll to the right, both of them falls instantly to the muddy grass. The Gnoll from the stairs charges Korbryn and lands his battleaxe on the dwarf's armor but the dwarf's protective equipment is hard to penetrate, the other two drop the bows and ran to the stairs with drawn battleaxes.
The Kid reels his horse around, pulls out a dagger, and tries to make a good shot against the ranged Gnolls that now stand on the stairs, the dagger hits the gnoll in the shoulder but doesn't drop him.

"Ye picked the wrong dwarf t' tangle with," growls Korbryn to the axe-wielding gnoll that attacked him. The stout warrior slashes again with his blade, hoping for another kill.

[DEFCON 1]

HP 15/15 : AC 18 : Spells 6/6/3 : MM Charges 43

With the cover of invisibility plus the disk of solid force blocking any future attacks, Ithiken should feel safe. However, he knows that once he begins slinging missiles of force around the moathouse, he will be targeted and pelted with a hail of arrows. Master Bigby always told him this was so. The mage was always a prime target.

Thus Ithiken wisely decides to take that last extra bit of precaution, pulls out his wand, and casts a spell to completely cover him in force. (Cast Mage Armor from wand on self) He then stays put and slides the wand back in it's sheath on his forearm.

He then stays put and slides the wand back in it's sheath on his forearm.
Miltiades turns his attention to the big gnoll and strikes with his spear while shouting for help. "Korbryn! Here is the leader." The Gnoll dodges easily but his excited wrath fails him when he tries to counter attack the priest.
"Ye picked the wrong dwarf t' tangle with," growls Korbryn to the axe-wielding gnoll that attacked him. The stout warrior slashes again with his blade, hoping for another kill, the charging gnoll lands on the dwarf's axe, with a boot kick Korbryn slides the dead gnoll from the edge of his axe.
Charging Thandis and Korbryn, the Gnolls go wild and swing their axes with furious, the one that attacked the dwarf finds a weak spot and damage Korbryn in the hand.
The Kid sees the large gnoll forces converge, but knows that someone needed to finish off the archers. Maneuvering his horse out of the Gnolls blows he continues pushing Skirmish around, throwing dagger after dagger, the dagger sinks into the creature's throat, the gnoll falls to his knees, agonized look upon his face, he then slams into the mud, face down, motionless.

As the gnoll leader begins his furious assault on Miltiades, Ithiken notices that there is a perfect shot for him straight between the two horses. The sounds of casting start once again although he cannot be seen, then suddenly two bolts of force spring out and Ithiken reappears to everyone back against the tower wall. The two missiles fly across the courtyard and slam into the gnoll leader. (Cast Magic Missile at P19: 2d4+2)

 

[Rhun]

Hearing Mitiades cry, Korbryn ignores the gnoll that injured him for the moment, and steps toward the gnoll leader. He turns back as he does so, though, his heavy sword arcing through the air, as he hopes to catch the first gnoll off guard.
