I'll attack the orc in the gate house and then run towards the westren wall.

"Palidan use your light to let us know when the 4th (I think there were 5) bracer has been broken"

Ushgarak Paladin

That Orc will engage you, Fire. Getting past it will require killing it.

it rolls a 24 on you, which you fend away, but it keeps you at a distance as well as you roll a 33 in return.

Fire Senior Member

(I ment kill it first and then get to the westren gate)
I'll attack him again ofc.

rusky Waiting for da snow

I'll hit the orc I'm fighting... trying to pull back on argentis's or palanfiriths's position at the same time (whichever is closer)..

Trickster True KMC Jester

Darvan will hack again at his orc, trying to use his arm to any good effect. if the orc manages to brak through his (weaker) defence, he'll try and turn so it hits his useless arm.

Ushgarak Paladin

Darvan, after fending off the Orc's 41, you score an 81, scoring you a 15C!

Oooh! Darvan rolls a natural 100 on the critical!

"Slash sides. Down, unconscious, and dies in three rounds due to massive internal organ damage."

There you go; bad luck meets soon after with good! The Eastern Wall guards are no longer taking attrition.

Meanwhile... Orcs everywhere, Andromir! A 22 comes your way- easily driven back. You roll a 61 in return; also enough for a 15C. Nothing so devastating from you, but 22 deamage in total.

Meanwhile, the final guard on the west wall is killed, taking one last orc with him, and the ladders are all uncontested. Another Orc makes his way around to the Gatehouse!

Up front, Baranar's men are on form, and shoot down the last two archers from the original force.

euhm ppl we do have to do something about that situation at the westren wall. I'll attack that orc again

Dexx wingless

"come on!..shoot the ones at the gatehouse, before the archers arrive!"
yells vardalain immediately opening fire on one

rusky Waiting for da snow

Andromir tries to pull back to a position near the tower where the walkway is most likely narrow enough to allow only one person through and trie to engage the orc from there..

Ushgarak Paladin

You need three of you to totally block a position- else in the middle of a fight, it's too hard to stop a bypass.

Trickster True KMC Jester

So are the orcs already at the wall with Darvan and Corlindel? Or are they still climbing?

If they are, Darvan graps a polearm from one of the guards and tries to push back the ladders.

Corlindel Noldor

(Darvan: They are still climbing)

"Push hard as you can! It's our chance to push the ladders!" Corlindel shouts

Corlindel will attzck as fast as he can the next orc who come, trying to surprise the orc.

rusky Waiting for da snow

Well, I guess I'll need some help then 😉...

Meanwhile, I hit the injured orc again...

West Wall People,
Try and Fight your way to the wall.
Get out of the Tower!

East Wall people,
Keep up the good work, Keep those orcs Off the wall!

Ushgarak Paladin

With no target specified, Vardalain, I am assuming you are giving fire to the unprotected rear rank. You roll a 115, which is almost certainly a kill, so I'll cross off another Orc... Baranar's men kill another as well.

Argentis, the Orc attacks you with a 28; you bash the spear to one side with ease. You reply with a 78, for a 25E; enough for a killing wound as you hack your target down. Nice.

The next Orc in the gatehouse is met by one of Baranar's men; they lock weapons together, inconclusively for now.

Andromir, your opponent scores a 90! A 7A to you; luckily the A is superficial- thank your armour! Angrily you strike back with a vicious 146 for a 30E, dropping your foe. That's the spirit!

Ok, Darvan is using his good arm to try and repel a ladder, whilst Corlindel hacks at the Orcs as they come up, giving him a +20 bonus. He actually scores over 170 that way, netting another kill! And with the help of the others, Darvan knocks back another ladder, leaving only one left still at the wall! An Orc is killed falling to the ground.

Meanwhile...

All of the originally attacking Western Orcs (that are still alive) have climbed the wall and so are no longer noted on the sumary other than as targets! Now the Dunlendings are climbing. The Orc force splits; half go north and half south.

Another Orc comes to challenege you, Argentis- and you have further foes as well, Andromir!

Very good rolling that turn from the good guys- fortune smiled upon you! Lots over over 100 rollovers.

Palidan, as you are not fighting much, if you want you can make an Intelligence roll to get your tactical assessment of the situation.

rusky Waiting for da snow

(tactical assesment.. WE're F****d)

I wonder how long we can keep this up ?

Andromir throws himself forward, bashing the next orc he sees..

Dexx wingless

how many arrows do i have

Ushgarak Paladin

Gee, Dexx, I think you should be able to keep count from there... you only just got told!

Tptmanno1 Life Ponder-er

OK I'll take the assesment

Fire Senior Member

I'll hack into that orc that is threatening me

I Scream out: "For Death and Glory" Raisen my shield to deflect the orc's spear and stab at him from under my shield
