Ok. Time enough to help the West wall.
I will keep running to the West wall and I will slash the first orc I face there; surprising him if possible 😈

"Call for help when the Dunlendings arrive near the top Darvan" Says Corlindel to Darvan passing for him, while runs to the West wall, with flames in his eyes, swinging his sword over his head

Leave the flank just attack an orc 😄

Out west, as the Orcs swarm up, Palanfirith has another clear shot. He rolls 102, and scores a fnatastic critical. The shot takes the Orc in the throat, killing it in one.

The Orcs strike... but this time, not as lethally as last turn! One of Baranar's men is badly wounded,, and another good blow comes at Andromir- which this time he takes solidly on his shield.

The wounded Baranar man scores a solid counterblow. Baranar and Argentis are unlucky and miss, but with an angry cry you slash your opponent viciously across the middle, Andromir, and he drops! Not quite a classic Dunadan warcry, but nevermind...

Another three Orcs scramble up... and ten have arrived down below as reinforcements... but in fact, it is four of Baranar's men who now move across to reinforce, now the East is safe.

I assuming you mean Dunlending, Vardalain? Well, a good shot from you brings one down, and two more are brought down by Baranar's men.

Almost there, Darvan...

To the North, another Orc is shot down, but the wood is splintering, and the Orcs are cheering...

Darvan yells,
"Here they come!"
Presuming they'll be on the wall next turn, or the turn after.

Ushgarak Paladin

Turn after.

Trickster True KMC Jester

Ah well, gives people time to help...

Fire Senior Member

"ATTACK!" I slash at the orc again

(😂 )

Andromir slashes at another orc, attempting to finish the fight quicker, in view of the imminent threat by the gate.

🤨 Better to stay here helping Darvan. And better not try to change to bow

Corlindel stands on southern wall next to Darvan handling his sword and preparing tp cut his first dunlending head.

Dexx wingless

well.....the same.
Vardalain fires upon an escalading dunlending

Ushgarak Paladin

The Dunlendings are putting into place the final embedded pitons that will get them up within reach of the waiting guards above- and they do it fearlessly. Say what you like about the Hillmen, they have spirit.

Spirit does not deflect arrows, though, and a 90 from Vardalain scores enough to drop another target, and at close ranage, Baranar's archers easily pick off two more.

The vicious fight continues to the West. Baranar loses another man; a lot of beings have died here now and the battlements are slick with blood. A huge blow (final total 179) from a Baranar solider kills a foe in return.

Andromir scores a scrach, but Argentis and Baranar score very solid kills. But already, another three Orcs are rising up- Argentis, this fight will be lost if you cannot stem those reinforcements. The battlements must be contested!

To the North, another archer is shot down from up top- but a lucky shot finally comes from the return fire, and one of Baranar's men is killed as well.

And the outer door gives! The Orcs triumthantly smash a hole large enough to walk through, and one does.

Whereupon he is promptly impaled upon three arrows fired by Baranar's waiting archers just by the Inner gate.

TPT we NEED MORE MEN
corlindel could you come and help out
I fight anthor orc as I make my way to the battlements to stem reinforcements

rusky Waiting for da snow

I hit the "scratched" orc again... 99 orcs bustin in ? ouch...

Dexx wingless

Vardalain let's the others deal with the orcs breaking inside for now and shoots at another escalading dunlending

Ushgarak Paladin

Seems to be a small hiatus here... I will give this anorher day.

Tptmanno1 Life Ponder-er

Really Fire??
99 would be nice? whada think?
Im not coming down because I would be more of a hassle than a help. Ppl saving me and such..

hmmmm
Ok Corlindel and Darvin, stay there for one more turn, then go to the west wall to drive the Orcs off. I think we'll be good if we can get a big fight in the middle of the courtyard bacause then it evens the odds a bit...

Ush can i get a roll to see what we could do and stuff, intellegence maybe?

Trickster True KMC Jester

I don't think we want any orcs in the courtyard...

Plus if we leave, the dunlendings have a clear route.

Tptmanno1 Life Ponder-er

accualy we do.

Baranar's main force is in the courtyard, thats where the major action will take place.

OK here's my overall plan. The south wall guys are to try and take out as many dundlings as they can, then the artcher retreat to a safe place, Keep maybe? then rain hell down on the Orcs while everone else kills em all!

Hows that for an overall plan...
