*walks towards the outpost and sees that the orcs have beaten him to it*
looks around to see if any others are in his position and to judge the terrain

~LW

*Konrad, who arived with Shaylar, is wandering around following Wolf. Wolf walks up to Lumien*

Lumien, would you look after Konrad for a short while? I'll be back soon...

*mutters*

I hope

*Wolf walks behind a building and the same cloud rises up and over the outpost wall*

*kandrill and massey walkes up to the front gate and tappes the gate with his staff*


gaurd Kandrill and party has arrived so open the gate


*the guard opens the gate and kandrill enters*

*Lone Wolf walks through the gate as it is open, nodding to the guard*

~LW

*akiro on the stalion charges past, and akiro bows in the saddle with a smile*

*continues on to the stables*

*watches as they arive*

*approaches the group*

Sorry im late... bit sleepy.. whats happening?

*Turns to the people in charge.*


Ok, here's the plan. We are going to send out our warriors to the forest to hide there until the Dark Alliance is almost upon us. We will then in the safety of the outpost open fire with our archers. The magicians remanding behind will have to use there magic to protect and to use offensive force against the dark alliance within the outpost.

Once we have held off long enough the warriors will go in and flank the army, making them fight on two fronts. I will be in the air with Ignatius at some point. It is nice to have aeral support. Hopefully the troopers within the outpost can hold the attack long enough for the warriors to flank the opposition. We may even ask our animal friends for support as well.


*Turns to the rest of hte Magicians.*


How does that sound?

the enemy is aproching...
that is all i know,
I think thats all anyone knows.
two drow mages and some orcs....

sounds good.. ill volunteer for the walls with the archers

well its a plan at least

I will use my magic from the tower

*Turns to Lumien and Alicia*

May I borrow Quoth and Chandra, if thhey can drop the pouches in the midst of the dark army the elements will be more effective

Sounds like a plan. I'll stand in the front line of our army, creating the sheild until the orcs are upon us.

I agree. I'll go with the flanking force.

*Lumien absent-mindedly scratches Konrad behind the ears.*

That would be a great idea! Chandra, you listen to her.

...

What? Look. I was good enough at blending into the trees before I even knew I could use magic, much less before I got you. I'll be fine! Go with Lady Shaylar!

*Chandra gives an "it's your funeral" style shrug, and turns for orders from Lady Shaylar.*

can I shoot'em with lightning & such?

*An arrow on fire flies through the air flying over the outpost.*


*The High Lord stares at the arrow.*


To your positions. All magicians who are the flanking force, hop over the wall in the back and head to the forest....there get into position and wait for the orcs to hit the outpost, then you flank them and make hte orcs fight on two fronts.


*The High Lord brings forth the Captain.*


Captain, I want constant arrow fire, lit on fire of course. Try to concentrate on the front of the force fire off. Maybe we can get a fire wall going.


[Captain]Yes SIR!


*Turns to Elandra.*


Elandra, I want you to lead the ground assault, I will be in the sky trying to keep everything in order. Now go before they hit the walls.


*The High Lord calls for Ignatius. In only a few moments, the dragon is hovering above Craxus. He hops on, he gives one last words of hope before he takes off.*


You all know what to do...let your magic guide you.....

Yes sir!

*Lumien dashes off to the back wall, and is over it in a moment, running through the trees into the forest.*

*205 arrows fly across the sky, smashing into orcs...some get through most dont...*


*The High Lord flies up into the air.*


*The orcs continue to charge.*

Is no answer a 'yes'?

if so...

*from behind gate, launches a lightning bolt off a scroll down a row of orcs(it'll keep going after it hits through one)*

*The lightning bolt strikes the first orc, passes through and hits 15 orcs, the 15 orcs fall down charred to the bone. The bolt passes through some more orcs, but they are only shocked for an instant.*


*The orcs ignore their brethern and plow through the fallen corpses keeping their pace to the gate.*
