Demiu sighs. "I had hoped that my magic and the sacrifice of my men would have held them in the lower corridors longer, but it appears not. I see two options; destroy the bridge they have raised to teh walls and ensure the gate is barred, then move our full force against the Xains within the walls. If the numbers within the castle are too great, we need to open the gate, leave the bridge, and draw as many of them as possible within the walls, then destroy the castle and everyone in it."
"I don't know which will be better. Do you know where King Darthraxx is? I believe we need to gather the leaders together for an urgent meeting."
"He was on the walls at the start of the battle, but I haven't seen him since before I went to delay the Xains entering through the tunnel."
"... There is not any wizard I know. Then we are doomed!" He yelled, defending against a Xain swordsman.
OOC: Thanks.
"We are not doomed. Focus. What will maximize our chances of success in fighting these sorcerers? We need to catch them by surprise. We need to act quickly. Most importantly, we need them to be distracted when we strike. How do we do these things?"
"All I can think of is that woman who saved us on the Xain ships."

"All I can think of is that woman who saved us on the Xain ships."
"I do wish we could have brought some of them with us. But we will have to do this on our own." Dodging an attack, she notices something and inclines her head toward the shore. "What do you think they are doing?" Through the battle, Karthon is able to see several Xains standing on the shore doing nothing.
OOC: Oh wow, that is a lot more than I thought. I thought the castle could only take a couple thousand soldiers max. Nevermind then, carry on what you were doing.
OOC: Yeah. You're right, though. Gidie doesn't know that there are any. But, I have a way to fix that.
IC: As Gidie begins scanning the outskirts of the castle for civilians, he and Darthraxx hear a familiar voice. "Um, excuse me, when am I?"
Albeis shakes his head. "No, nevermind. I think I've figured it out."
Gidie stares at him in shock. "How did you get here?"
"It doesn't matter. Darthraxx, where are Demiu, Lexos, and the others?"
As they discuss, they hear a commotion coming towards them from down the hall. It can only be one thing- Xains.
"Good Lord I pray to you please protect us, amen." Lexos hurriedly said and made the sign of the cross, then grabbed his bow and drew an arrow. "I believe the end is nearing." Lexos said to no one in particular through gritted teeth. "I can feel it." Lexos drew his bowstring. "C'mon!" Lexos shouted at the Xains. "Come and meet your demise!"

"I Don't know, I think they are somewhere in the castle, why?"
*Darthraxx uses lightning to block incoming projectiles, and fire on Xain soldiers.* *Darthraxx sends some of the Dragon Knights on the wall to help evacuate the castle, and find Demiu Lexos and the other leaders and bring them to the walls.*
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.

"Calm yourself, Lexos. They're not here yet. A dozen men- half a dozen, maybe- could hold the passage for long enough for the rest to escape." He ducks into the room. "Harfor, are your men prepared to fight?"
Albeis shakes his head. "No, nevermind. I think I've figured it out."

"The castle is full of Xains. You'll need to get them out of there."
