Clarification
The enemey has been staging assaults all thru the three day period...which is why the party is batterd and tired......they are getting ready to stage yet another massive assault with their reinforcements...

Healing
Yes the priests and healers of the old baronet keep eveyone physically sound but you are still weary..

General

From the marshalling efforts going on you figure there is about two hours before they launch the attack...at which point a young ensign arrives and ask you to an officers meeting..

OCC: Feel free to backtrack and look after Andor the battle will not start till Monday

OOC: Thanks for the hp, JA!

As he and Roak make their way to the Officer's Meeting, Nijel says, "Well, what do you suppose this meeting is about? They're probably going to tell us that orcs are bad, or some such great revelation!" Nijel pauses to yawn vigorously. "By the Light, I'm bone-weary!"
 

"I don't know what reasons they have to call us," says Roak to Nijel as they make their way through the manor. The warblade suddenly and violently punches the wall in his frustration with their situation, taking a chunk from it with his gauntleted hand. "But if it isn't something I like, I'm going to suggest they let us take the fight to the enemy. The orcs must have leadership...we could sneak out under the cover of darkness and engage and possibly slay those leaders; without leadership, this host may well fall apart." The knight shrugs as he sees the look upon the Bulldog's face. "It may be a fool's errand, but it is better than waiting here to be overrun by darkness."
 

Alban

Alban moves from wounded man to wounded man praying and offering what support he can. He regularly checks up on Andor, plying the best of his of healing abilities for the sake of his fallen comrade.

"I don't know what reasons they have to call us," says Roak to Nijel as they make their way through the manor. The warblade suddenly and violently punches the wall in his frustration with their situation, taking a chunk from it with his gauntleted hand. "But if it isn't something I like, I'm going to suggest they let us take the fight to the enemy.

The knight shrugs as he sees the look upon the Bulldog's face. "It may be a fool's errand, but it is better than waiting here to be overrun by darkness."
Nijel is somewhat startled by Roak's violence towards the wall, but quickly gets over it. "You make a good point, Roak Cairnwalker, Slayer of Walls, mayhap you should convince our superiors of the wisdom of this maneuver?"
 

The officers assemble in courtyard before the house and noticeable prepartion is being made all along the walls as barrels of some sort of liquid are being placed just behind the wall and in easy lifting distance of the wall.
"We'll gentlmen it appears as if we have bought all the time we can, we will disrupt this attack and with our last defense and hopefully stun them with a counterpunch so you gentlmen may go about your mission. I hope we can delay them another day perhaps to after we smack them but i do not know" The old baron then goes into explaining a well crafted plan. As the enemey approaches, they will be engaged by as usual by arrows and missels...once they hit the wall they will be allowed to gain a foothold on the south wall and punch thru the gate area in the hopes of sucking in large numbers....once they have commited the numbers and they are stacked up outside the south wall and gate area, the fire trenches will be lit catching as many as possible. As they are confused the old baron and his mounted men, thru the aid of several friends, will ride thru the flames and kill as many as they can and hopefully raid their encampments somewhat. "It is at that time gentlemen that you will break off and continue on the the Lord Marshall"....."Tell him we have not yet fallen but have done most of what we can do...also tell him..."THE RAVEN FLY'S TO THE ROOK".

Any questions.

Nijel carefully copies down the message to the Lord Marshall and stores it safely, so that the word will get through if he does.
