The acid bolt hits the Vrock closest to Nym and the sickly green bolts sizzles. Nym notices the damage doesn't do as much as he thought it would as he remembers they are resistant to acid.
Desmond follows Duncan towards whichever Vrock he decides to target, then comes out from behind the dwarf and hits the Vrock full speed!

Enemy Horde
A wave of undead zombie descends on the defenders positions. The sound so metal on flesh and flesh on metal rings loudly. Battle cries and moans carry deafens the area. The initial ebb and flow battle caries on...
Meanwhile at Duncan's position an arrowhead of dead begsin to scale the fortifications and funnel into Duncan's position.

Overhead large bolts whiz and there are a few cries of pain. The enemy horde continues to approach the defenders but they are still a 20 feet from crashing into the lines.
One of the Vrocks teleports and lands directly behind kalim (15 feet away) You can see that it has a 10 foot reach wiht its talons.
A second Vrock begins its rapid dirve bomb movement.

I put haloes (blue) around Nym and Desmond to signify they are flying. I know everyone has flight but they are the two actually in the air for tracking purposes.
The red dots on the demons are the ones that have been injured.
I know the map is not to scale and it's not perfect but it's the best that I can do for this battle.

Hordes are not so called because of the size of the group but rather the size of the creatures that compose the horde. Unlike normal swarms, hordes are composed of Medium creatures which are usually a normal version of a creature but otherwise behave in a swarm-like manner. There are usually around 50 creatures in a horde. The net effect is that they take only half damage from piercing weapons but take normal damage from other weapons. In addition when the swarm is reduced to 0 hit points or lower and breaks up, unless the damage was dealt by area-affecting attacks, then 2d6 surviving members of the horde continue their attack, though now only as individual creatures. Otherwise, a horde conforms to all of the other swarm traits.
Grung steps up and attacks the oncoming horde. The force of Grungs attack disrupts the enemy horde and breaks it up into 10 shuffling remnants.
Kalim resonated a horrible sound at the vrock behind the lines.
Desmond charges using Nym as his ally.
Desmond hits the Vrock previously hit by Nym, he hits hard but the creature is still flying.

More catapult rocks smash into the defensive positions, several large holes open up as bodies lay broken. Those rocks are quickly followed by large ballista bolts whizzing into the defenses.
Two enemy hordes press forward, while the disbanded zombies shuffle into the approaching hordes.
The Vrock hit by Kalim is stunned and the second vrock continues to dive bomb the heroes.

"DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT I AM?! I AM YOUR END, FLIES!"
Seeing the Rogue magically charge in at the vrock, Duncan makes a descision to aid the Human. As much as he'd love to simply chop the undead horde before him, he knew the Human soldiers could at least fight the hordes.
The Vrocks on the other hand, the soldiers could not stop. He uses a FERVOUR, to swift cast Divine Favor on himself and acts.
Instead of remaining at the Wall he uses the fly and haste spells effecting him to Charge straight at the nearest Vrock in support of Desmond, he flew with his shield in front of him, almost as if he intended to ram the thing, but it was a ploy. At the last second he pulled the shield in tight against his body and thrusted his swordarm at the spot where the creatures heart should be. The magic of Iomedae's Inspiring Word charged the strike yet again, boltering the duration of both he and his allies sacred blessings upon their weapons, as the Gleaming blade shone like the sun.
Iomedae demonstrates how to turn a longsword into a shining beacon of hope.
Initial Benefit: While wielding a longsword, you can
perform an impressive display of prowess as a full-round
action. All allies within 30 feet who can see your display
gain a +2 sacred bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and
skill checks for 1 round + 1 round per 5 points of base attack
bonus you have.
Advanced Prerequisites: Dazzling Display, Weapon Focus
(longsword), base attack bonus +10.
Advanced Benefit: As a standard action or at the end
of a charge, you can make an attack against a foe with a
longsword. If you succeed, you grant all allies who can
see your attack a +2 sacred bonus on attack rolls, saving
throws, and skill checks for 1 minute.
Ware me ya ugly bird thing, I'll have ye quartered and roasted shortly!!
You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target's Hit Dice + the target's Wisdom modifier. If you are successful, the target is shaken for 1 round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent in this way if they are within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.

Duncan flies off abandoning his position at the gate opening and charges in for glory. His lust for killstealing fresh in his heart.
His vicious attack hits but does not destroy the Vrock but it shocks the creature.

At the western front:
A blue white light traces a circle in the air before a truly massive bipedal reptilian monster steps through with a bright flash. The celestial tyrannosaurus raises its huge ranged head and unleashes a terrible shrieking roar before snapping down on the recently joined vrock.
bit, for damage plus grab.
"Foolish demons, now face the mighty jaws of a true extraplanar monster! Thunder-lizard, slay them!"
He then raises his hammer aloft and calls for a blessing of Torag to aid in this combat.
"Strike hard, strike true, these enemies will crumble and flake off into slag beneath our hammers, brothers!"
Feli quickly casts blur on herself.
Grung ducks his head as the T-Rex roars. What the crap?! Duncan what is that thing?
"Fear not, King Grungsdi! The thunder-lizard is here at my behest, he will chomp and slay our foes, in the name of Torag!"

Nym's holy rapier stings the Vrock he is flanking with Desmond, the piercing blade hits hard and the Vrock spins down out of control as it smashes onto the earth - dead. It is apparent that at least this one was called into the material plane, rather than summoned.
Fortunately the ground defenders were able to scatter just before the demon plummeted to the ground.
Duncan sees the first Vrock- fall and grimaces to himself. Grungsdi was surely ahead of him in the kill count....

I added a large figure by Karnog to represent the dino and the Vrock is slightly overlayed to represent being grabbed. i also put a few small zombie characters on the western front to represent the rambling zombies from the broken up horde.
Duncan I have you flying next to the demoralized Vrock
Des laughs as one goes down. "Let's start racking up the numbers!" Without pause he crashes violently into the next Vrock.
"" Kalim's utterance still resonates on the first, staggered vrock. He turns to the next. "WEAK!" He casts Suffocation. [Ooc]DC 23 The target can attempt to resist this spell’s effects with a Fortitude save-if he succeeds, he is merely staggered for 1 round as he gasps for breath. If the target fails, he immediately begins to suffocate.
Nym nods and follows suit once again putting himself to flank the demonic bird with Desmond
Duncan laughed maniacally as the creatures impotent claws scratched at his magnificent shield and armor, with only a single claw getting through and that damage was negated by the stoneskin spell currently affecting him. The spores similarly were a minor annoyance. His glee turned to anger however, when Desmond Charged in Stabbing at HIS Vrock, almost impaling the Creature.
Nym similarly flew in and got an attack off, with Desmond capitalising on the Dark elf's strike.
Ye damned Kill stealin' theifs! Had this one barely up and ready to die already!
Not seeing any other foes in reach but a horde of undead before him, he reaches within himself to Use his DIVINE FIRE Blessing, expending 2 uses to further enhance his weapon with both the FLAMING and UNDEAD BANE quality, then fly's back to once again block the gap in his wall.
He lashes out for all he his worth against the Vrock.FULL ATTACK!
Git away ye Theifs! This one's mine!

Nym and Desmond more in coordinated fashion, but for sneak to get the upper hand he needs drow to move within the reach of the next vrock.

Duncan you are fighting a different Vrock than Desmond and Nym. Duncan uses this energies to finish off the Vrock in front of him. He blades slashes and pierces the unholy beast's hide. The creature makes a death spiral and chrashes into the ground.
Three defenders get smashed by the large vrock weight.
