The minotaurs discuss it and say, "Please bring back orders from our Chiefs if you can. If not, we will fight. Also, this man has a message for you." They pull forth a human man in Dragon Knights uniform.
He says, "I bring a message from the outpost at the Ruins."
*The one at the Castle relay's the message from the minotaurs, whilst the lead Stone Warrior talks to the messenger*
The Stone Warrior finds Logaire on the battlements, preparing to join the fight. "I am unsure where Cathair, Sairse, and Damhan are, but I will speak for them this time. Tell them we must fight now. Engage the enemy flank to draw their attention away from the walls."
In the courtyard, fifty Knights of the Lion and two hundred Warriors of the Northern Sun stand arrayed for battle. Their banners are many; golden lion upon blue and orange sun upon red. In the front stand the Two Captains; Demiu, Lord of the Lions, and Eorion, Herald of Morñornia. At their backs stand Lucas, Knight of the Lion, and Galdan, Warrior of Morñornia. Demiu rallies his men,
"Knights of the Lion, Warriors of the North! We have lost many good men this day! The Xain seek to take our land for their own, our crops for their stomachs, our children for their armies! But we are not some lowly cowards who will bow down and allow them to pass! While there is breath in my body, I will fight them! Are you with me?"
"We are with you, Lord!"
"Then forth, to war!"
Demiu then issues orders to his captains.
"Lucas, take twenty men and assist King Darthraxx. Take him half our Banners of Light. He will need them."
"Galdan, take twenty men and search the castle. The Xain know of one tunnel in; they may know of more."
"Eorion, you will take the rest of your warriors to the walls. The Dragon Knights alone will not hold them long."
Demiu then turns to the thirty Lion Knights who have not be given orders.
"Bring the banners. You are to come with me, and drive the Xain back into the pit from whence they came!"
And so the warriors split. Sir Lucas and twenty men in Lion Knight armour race up towards Darthraxx, bearing furled banners glowing faintly. Captain Galdan the twenty Morñornians start moving through the castle, checking that Xain are not emerging out of more tunnels. Eorion hurries to the walls, followed by one hundred and eighty men of the Northern Sun. Demiu and thirty Lion Knights hurry to the tunnel entrance, bearing the rest of the furled Banners of Light.
As they move lower into the castle, they find no evidence of more tunnels, but they do find many more Xains. It is clear that they have been coming into the castle far longer than anyone realized and now have a strong hold over its lowest floors.

*Darthraxx readies the men near the Ramp, including the Lion Knights. As the Ramp reaches the ramparts, Darthraxx uses a Tier 4 Gust of Wind to hurl their barricade down the ramp, smashing a number of Xain. With the Banners of Light unfurling behind him, He rushes into battle with his men, Lightning crackling as it destroys dozens, His sword stained red with blood.*
They make strong headway at first, but the Xains have far greater numbers.

*Darthraxx has the men form a Shieldwall of pikemen, and then allows them to hold the Ramp, not bothering to move any further. Darthraxx continues to wield his lightning, even as the Xain push forward.*
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.
Lexos ducks a sword swipe, slashes several Xains across their knees then retreats.
As Harfor, Amion, and Lexos retreat, they find themselves backed up against the Dragon Knight archers as more Xains charge in from their flank.
"C'mon you slackers!" Lexos yells at the Xains. "You are fine substitutes for armoured chickens! I bet you can't wield a sword any better than you can trip over a brick, which is an object far more intelligent than you!" Lexos prepares to block any angry attackers.

The Xains and the Dragon Knights are at a standstill, neither one able to advance their position.
