h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*troops on the walls fire flurrys of arrows down on the attackers as well as pitch and boiling tar etc*

*Erects as large as a shield as she can manage between the attackers and Imardin, and strains to hold it.*

*the troops continue to fight to defend the city*

Lycan is a traitor he is leading the attack, Alicia said she can get back into the city, I placed a bounty on Lycan's head, a years wages for any man that kills him

*Mutters*

I will kill him with my bare hands if I ever get hold of him

*Unleashes torrential rain on the Dark Army*

... If we survive this one...

*creatures of the air driven by madness dive down into the shield from aboce*

Lumien if we combine our magic I may just be able to erect a shield of magic enhanced ice over the city, can you help me

I can try- what do you need?

*Coats the walls in a thick layer of ice*

That should slow them down for a bit

Can you extend the shield over the city, if you can I can coat it in ice then cast a protection spell, kind of like the one over my home, only this one won't be as strong the shield will only last a day at the most

*the archers keep up there work, foot soliders also walk across the walls on lookout*

*Tries to extend the shield out and over the city- it's taking all her strength, and it's very thin where the ice hasn't touched it yet.*

*Covers the shield in ice, making ajustments for where it is thinnest, Starts to mutter a spell which will repel the Dark Army*

By the power of the Goddess of the Sky, by the Goddess of the Earth, the God of Fire and the Goddess of the Lake, bind your magic for your servant's protection let no evil come near us

*Staggers against the wall and slides down*

that should protect us for a day, maybe two if we are lucky

*Falls down next to her, panting.* That's the best we can do- one day at a time.

*runs in breathing heavily*

What in heaven's name is... *notices the DA and the ice shield and whispers* gods preserve us.

Avatar, we're safe for the moment, but we need to strengthen that sheild, can you help

Umm, I can try.

*Avatar turns and faces the shield and tries to craft a spell to try and enhance it. The shield glows brighter momentarily then fades back to normal*

*Avatar sits/falls backwards onto the ground and wipes his forehead with his sleeve*

There, that should help it a bit. I couldn't do much but that should give it a bit more strength.

Avatar sits and thinks*

Okay, theoretically, how long could we hold out against the DA, as far as supplies go?

Quite a long time, a few months if our defences hold that long.
