(Ush said that there are ten Baranar men on the rear wall, but it seems the orcs are only attcaking the front wall and both sides, not the rear wall, so, I left the tower and I am going to the right wall.
You and DR may stay on the tower shooting the orcs who area attscking the left wall or may go there to help Baranar's men when the orcs start to climb using the ladders
There is not any problem at the rear side..yet 😖)
Ok, Palanfirith, though you will take a little while to get back there.
You score aa glancing arm hit, Vardalain, but even through the gloom you see you achieved little. Your shot goes wide also, Andromir.
Off the shields, Palidan. Frankly, with a 25, you'll be all day trying to hit through those. A moment later, an arrow clatters off the battlement to the side of you. The Orcs outside are still putting out a lot of fire but now they are waiting for a person to pop his head around and taking an opportunity shot.
Baranar's men get into position on the side walls, as the Orcs close in and start to raise the ladders.
(Ush: And my last shoot?
I was running to the side wall. Am I already there?)
If yes...
Corlindel loads and shots one last arrow to an orc carrying a ladder and hides behind the battlement.
Corlindel swaps his bow for the long sword and shield he got in Baranar armory. "Pull that ladders or we will be in serious trouble" Shouts to Baranar men near him.
Ugh, not a good final shot there at the sides, Corlindel. Wlel, it was a bad angle... your weapon change is noted.
Are you staying in the tower, Andromir?
No, really, not much help you can give those guys at all, Palanfirith. However, the first rock goes out and down into the mass below, killing two Orcs.

CURRENT SITUATION
All Fortress walls are secure
Northern Wall: 94 strong Orc force attacking gate house. 19 archers giving fire.
Western wall: 20 strong Orc force with ladders, climbing
Eastern Wall: 20 strong Orc force with ladders, climbing
Souther Wall: Clear
Orc casualties: 6
Allied casualties: 2
-
Baranar's men at the sides run to where the ladders have just been raised to. Palanifirth, you get to the wall just as the ladders make contact. Three ladders are raised per side.
Up front, Baranar is yelling at his archers to start picking off the Orcish archers whol are making it near impossible to fire downwards.

Are there any ladders raising on Airwing's position?
((Yours nearest ladders are in the right (eastern?) walls where I am now.
Planfirith, who was on you tower with you, is going there, where I am already.
I think it is better for you to stay in your tower helping the front (gatehouse) defences. But help on the wall where I am is welcome..or just keep an eye in us to cover when the orcs get on the castle 🙂
Btw: There is no sign of my pair (Airangel) and no sign of Tricster's pair (Darth Revan). So we are alone in respective side walls.
I already got Fitch help..
Fitch: If I was in serious trouble during melee I hope you cover me with your bow))
As Corlindel see the ladders raising he prepares to help to pull the nearest one "Dont let that scum climb!!! Shouts loud to Baranar men.
Palanfirith sees the ladders touching the castle walls and he yells "push them away!" as he loads his bow and waits for his first victim.He will try to aim in the heart,so the orc won't fall on his back, but fall streight down and push his camarads below....cheap trick but hope it works 🙂
