"Coward" mumbled Dathor, Solaza began to fly in larges circles around the battlefield, occasionaly swooping down to grab two clawfuls of Orkan and then dropping the corpses onto incoming Orkan, much to their fear.

With a burst of lighting Bro Choa emerged from beneath the second sea wall leaving a gaping section of nothingness and sending the humans that where on top of the wall tumbling through the air. Now Bro Choa and Dathor faced each other eye to eye "Gusteria cicularis" and with those words a massive cyclone churned the air currents forcing the both of them to fly the direction of the wind (If they didn't want to crash that is) both where the same distance from the center both encircled each other good and evil, push and pull, Yin and Yang.

More ogres had left the ships and where now nearly to the second wall. The ships that had pulled into the holes in the first wall began firing rocks with ropes tied to them over the wall. Orc archers finally set foot on dry-land to find their counterparts, the human mages, killing their brethren. This enraged them. Arrows began to fly and some of the unaware mages were hit. Korgth had nearly reached the wall and wasn't going to trust the ropes now dangling down. He blew his small horn and his battle mount, a 15 foot fire lizard bounded off one of the ships and was soon at his side. He mounted the lizard and reined it back so it would move away from the wall to allow some room for the jump. The lizard's muscles tensed and then it soared through the air and landed on the top of the wall, crushing a few knights. Korgth turned his mount and began to charge down the length of the wall, which was just slightly wider than his mount, in hopes of knocking some of the knights off. He raised his battle axe and let loose a terrible roar, and his men looked up and roared a cheer as their leader passed. This moral boost gave them the drive to make it to the wall and begin to climb the ropes.

Dathor flew in the circle for a moment then he exploded in a blast of Holy fire, destroying the wind currents and sending a wave at Bro Choa.
The Knights few back to the corners of the walls, Lance Knights used Holylances to keep the Orkan back. The rest of the Knights began hacking the ropes and the hapless Orkan who managed to get over the wall.

Bro Choa shouted "Forgraze shielay" and with it came a circular shield of ice in front of his dragon, but the shield was slightly angeled it did not stop the light..... just magnified it and sent it hurtling down at a group of Orkan sizzling them like ants. With a long yawn "Hmmm I tire of this exchange of whims and I have more pressing matters. What say you he who follows the light?"

Solaza answered with a blast of fire from his mouth which missed the Black Dragon but got the point across none the same. "Is that answer enough for you, He Who Follows the Darkness?"

with a sigh "My orders where to scout and report on anything I find interesting and it looks like Ive found that, but if you wish to continue..." clapping his hands together with great force "Rolun thuderaga" (Rolling thunder) a might blast of sound burst forth only visible by the air it disturbed while it passed.

Dathor raised a hand, a beam of light shor from it that disrupted the wave and allowed it to go around him unhindered. "Our skills in the arts of Magic seem to be equal, my Worthy Foe."

"Hmm although I hate to agree with you... it seems we are equal" Bro Choa starts to chuckle "Which is bad news for you. Not many can match a shade even a lesser one like me but I assume its from years of intense training and vigilance, but now from this exchange of wills you are a target.... and you are marked." with the last word Bro Choa slit his arm and blood spilled onto his blade. "You are a marked man Dathor follower of the light do not take this lightly.... now I will take my leave of you."
(the marking ability took so much blood it actually kills whoever uses it, but the only way you can kill a shade is by piercing his heart so now Bro Choa will come back in spirit form somewhere until his body respawns.)
Elgar speed away with such speed it created a sonic boom on the ground below.

The orcs took full advantage of the hole in the wall. Orcs poured through into the human lines that had formed there. Gol reached the gab in the second wall and slid down into the human lines with men. His fire lizard was getting it's fill of meat and his blades were getting their fair share. As the orc pressed farther into the city, they began pull out their torches and lighting them in the fires the catapults had started. Thus began the orcs rapid charge through the streets, lighting everything on fire.

A company of zombie warriors we just behind the city. They could see the city start to burn.

((How the heck do you get an army in my country without being spotted?))
The Knights fell back to hardened "strongpoints" throughout the city, for example, the Main Barracks with it's stone wall, the Tavern, the blacksmith shoppe. The few remaining Knights could hold out for hours at this point.
Dathor ignored Broa Choa's remarks and dove, not to the city but to the ships that had yet to land. Scorching Dragonfire easily set the ships aflame, killing many. Dathor looked back to the city with misty eyes as his beloved city burned.

(because I have such a powerful curse upon you I can do this...)
A spasm of pain burst from Dathors chest sending him reeling with pain, but not so great of pain that he lost control of his dragon
(This is just the beginning of the price you will pay for your mark)

The orcs and other beings left aboard the burning ships jumped overboard and headed to shore. Now that the city was almost destroyed the orcs began unloading the heavy equipment. All the human positions were completely surrounded. The orcs stood and waited for orders as they kept the humans in their holes. Korgth stood upon the remains of the second wall and laughed. "You sniveling cowards! HA ha ha!" As he said this a mortally wounded human that had been laying motionless on the ground behind Korgth raised his sword and attempted to stab Gol through a gap in his armor, but the point was caught in the chain mail beneath. Korgth turned and grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him into the air. "Heh, nice try." With that he threw the man into a near by burning building, knocking down a wall. The support lost due to the collapsing wall caused the whole building to fall down on top of the dedicated man. "My Brothers, victory is at hand!" The roar of approval was deafening. Ogres began to beat on the doors of the human strong points and orcs waited very impatiently for them to finish.
(Hope you don't mind me controlling one unnamed human.)

The Tavern fell first, it's wooden door shattered easily, the lead Ogre was stabbed with multiple Lances and fell back onto the lead Orcs, the Knights in the Tavern, hearing the insult to their honor and realizing the end was at hand, sallyed forth from the Tavern cutting a massive swath through the undiciplend Orkan rabble, the plate armor kept the knights going for far longer than an ordinary soldier would, but before long they were dead. The other Knights were lucky, stone or metal doors protected them. Some hid out in cellars and ambused Orkan as they passed, killing them and then moving to another building. Allthough the Orkan had made it into the city proper, they hardly controlled it.

"I think it is time to introduce these humans to our little friends," Korgth said to one of his officers with an evil smirk. The officer in turn silently signaled to those in charge of unloading the boats and soon the wargs were being unloaded. These stealthy hunters of the night were hungry, but well trained, they would not attack an orc even if it was starving. They quickly and silently scattered through the town, and began to hunt humans. They tracked and followed many, usually followed themselves with a group of orcs. An officer approached the Warlord, "Sir, we are getting reports that the humans have been making several successful ambushes on our men. The lower ranking soldiers are not heavily armored enough." This came as no surprise to Goh, "Armor is a commodity earned not taken. One must first learn to fight with out." But he knew his men would continue to be killed without the help of more heavily armed warriors. He climbed down of the wall and began to walk from building to building searching for any human survivors. The wargs were having the best time toying with the humans. They were less susceptible to pain then other creatures and could take a serious wound or two before running away. Goh's armor was the finest orc armor ever forged. It was so thick and heavy, few could wear it and still fight with his speed and agility. Swords would just glance off it. Arrows aimed at points unprotected by plate were caught by the chainmail. This armor was not invulnerable, but the next best thing. (OOC: Sorry for the unorganized setup of this. I'm very tired. )

The Orkan was seriously underestimating the resolve of the Human defenders, the Knights were fighting to the bitter end, they were a desperate enemy, and many had magic at there desposal. The Wargs proved to be a major nuciance for a time, then they became just as difficult to deal with as the Orkan. The Knights only regrets were none would learn of these secrets until the next battle...

The undead walked thought the remains of the town. Seeing a random orc here a near dead human there. The only time that there was any real trouble was when there were ambushed by a group of knights....

But before any of the knights could do any damage, a large group of orcs knocked them to the ground from behind and began to either kill or knock them out. Those they knocked out were tied up and dragged to one of the orc strong points. The leader of the group turned to the undead, "You aren't with the humans are you?" as he said this he raised his blade to a ready position.
Goh had had enough. "If they won't fight, we won't make them. PULL EVERYONE BACK TO THE COAST!" he yelled the message was relayed through the burning ruins of the town. "General," Goh said to one of his nearby men, "Take six divisions and surround the city, make sure no one leaves."
The message to fall back reached the ears of the leader who was now waiting for the undead to respond. "By the looks of things, you are not with the humans. I would suggest you get out of the city while you have the time." With that he and his men headed to the coast.
All the orcs had left the streets and were awaiting orders. Goh turned to the Overlord to his right and told him, "Tell the catapult crews to open fire. I want this city leveled." The message was soon received and the catapults began to bombard the city, crushing some knights in the very buildings they used as protection. Other catapults targeted the strongholds the humans still controlled, like the barracks. The blacksmith began to crumble after the first few impacts, but the barracks would take much longer.

"I have a message for the warlord. That must be given to him.please let me complete my mission." with that the necro gave a humble bow.

"Then you should follow me!" the orc yelled over his shoulder. Buildings were shattering on the left and right as the group ran through the streets toward the coast.

((WTF Warlord, we ARE fighting...hard...))
Dathor quickly recovered from the pain, knowing that it was the Mark, Dathor prayed to Crustai to take it away. She responded with a silent answer. She could only make the pain less frequent and less painful...to do more would break the Law and serve only to give Fabian more power on Gorgraz. Dathor sighed and Solaza dove into the forming Orc lines striking fire into the hearts of many. Arrows simply bounced off the majestic golden scales and Dathor's own magic destoyed anything heavier that came through. Dathor sent a magical message to his surviving general and told him to sally forth and make a break for Gorge.
The Knightly Stables had taken little damage and many knights were able to mount themselves, the Units had been devestated so new Units were quickly draw of the remaining one thousand men. The normal complement of KNights at Seahall was over fifty thousand but they were away, either fighting pirates or with Zhan. It mattered little. ON Dathor's command the Knights stormed through the broken gates into the still forming Orkan lines. The Orkan, being infantry could not resist the charge, many were crush and impaled on the Holylances. But the Knights did suffer casulities. Arrows killed horses, unhelmed men were caught in the face, but I looked like they were going to make it. Dathor dived again and again keeping the heavier armed orkan at bay.

The undead necro broke into a sprint he did not want to be around when this place went up. He was going to make it to the orc lines. They were in his sight.
