As he sees Lykan approach he nods to those around him, he continues to swing and cut down soldiers as he cleaves.
She and the robed figure beside her break off from Jorne and with a touch the three of you disappear.
Within a minute you are at the wall.
On the fourth round of Quince swatting off soldiers you hear a great rumble from behind. About a hundred feet behind the wall a great rift opens up and the soldiers begin to pour out of it.

When the moment of disorientation passes, THe elf bites back a curse as he realizes that there's a rift right in their own back lines. Grabbing a few quivers.
The elf Bites back a curse as he finally lets the othe side of him take over as he leaps straight into combat!
His shape blurring as his form shifts into one more suited for such close form of combat, he lands with an astounding crash and swipes his mighty paws across!!!
From the pile of crushed enemy soliders, Stands a large Bear with a Fox Head!!! It might have being amusing if not for the fact that a single blow sends several soldiers flying and they're starting to realize that this particular bear is more then your average trained bear as it executes a drop kick on a gaping enemy.
"Enemies within the gate!" Quince calls out in Celestial and his aide then echoes. "Archers keep eyes to both sides of the wall."
Quince hurries toward the rift. "Foot men, riders to the rift."
She quickly counter commands, "Delay that order we have too many of our men between us and the invading force. Archers focus on the outside. Footmen and riders to the rift!!!"
She then begins to orate, "Come my soldiers face our foes, protect the innocent and do justice for our kingdom..." She continues to inspire the crowd around her and those who can hear that fight the invading forces.
Having returned with Lykan, Stalker, and Selena he pivots and falls down the inside of the wall. As he falls he speaks into the ring, "Katrina, we are going to need your vines to stop the forces from going further into the kingdom. Oak Street will likely be the best option." The rest of you can hear him and could speak into the ring as well if you wanted.
He hits the ground and nimbly lands upon his feet. Then he charges forward with extra speed!
She quickly states, "Okay, Oak Street..." A melody of sylvan lyrics quickly floods Oak Street. Most nearby quickly take shelter not knowing what was going on. Then massive thorny vines sprout from the ground. A literal wall of thorny vines that cuts off almost half of the city. The vines grow to about 60 feet tall, and if you get to Oak street you think the vines likely fill the entire street.
Lykan drops down from the wall to stop the progression of monstrous soldiers from the far side of the wall. Selena drops down beside him and releases a flurry of strikes from her claws and sharp teeth. Arrows continue to pepper the monstrous soldiers as they come forward. Though their momentum is stopped by the fox headed bear. Stalker's arrows break through shields and cut through his foes. Elizabeth begins to rain down a few fireballs to give Lykan a bit more breathing room.
"To Oak Street then, to rain down lightning when the advance is halted." Kendryl takes off and can quickly see where the enemy is massed, unable to advance.

The fellow fliers follow Kendryl and the one with the call lighting wand begins to bring down the pain.
The vines lash out at the monstrous soldiers, some becoming tangled up before being pulled into the thick collection of vines.
Quince rushes from the wall toward the rift. As he moves he grows twice his size.
He continues his movement toward the fight. Praying as he goes.
As he moves toward a group of soldiers he pauses with them and blesses 6 of their weapons.
"Square up. His aide translates his orders and the 8 of them finish their rush toward the rift.
With Quinces guidance and spells the soldiers square up on Quince as their wedge formation slams into a wall of soldiers. You can see that on the far side Jorne and a group of soldiers are holding them back. Meanwhile the third section is being dealt with by a massive hell hound.
Within minutes most of the monstrous soldiers are dead, the few that surrendered have been marched off to the jail.
Quince quickly calls as a devious thought comes to mind. The soldier with the wand come along within the next few minutes. In this time Jorne, Larina, and Ash jump down the tunnel and head to its front.
With allies moving into the tunnel. Quince moves in as well. Sceptre at the ready.
You find the tunnel strangely empty though you hear fighting going on towards the other end of the tunnel. With a rush forward soon enough you come out of the tunnel to find a fox headed bear swatting and decimating the goblins, monstrous soldiers, and other creatures. The creature is not without taking its own licks as it bleeds from many open wounds.
Round 1
He charges forward easily out pacing the others and slams his halberd into an adjacent monstrous soldier next to the bear creature. "Take a break if you can. We have your back from here. Katrina we need immediate healing at the far end of the tunnel."
stance, acid, electricity damage
It takes a massive hit to its chest causing its armor to concave and drops, as it had already been hurt.
She charges up a bit slower and comes up on the other side of the bear...
Round 2
d6's fire damage
Round 2
He runs up with Larina and clears a swath of enemies to her right away from the bear.
Quince smirks looking at the strange fox creature. "Guess he's with us."
Quince pulls fourth a wand and heals the fox creature.
Quince takes a quick step from behind Lykan to square with one of the foes and lays into the monsters. Roaring with a celestial fury.
Lykan attempts to roar his thanks but what comes out is a yelp instead. Looking embarrassed He backhands a nearby goblin to oblivion as he seeks to bury his embarrassment.
Really. A bear with the head of a fox might not be so intimidating after all.
But the way the Fox headed bear takes out his foes indicates that it at least knows how to avoid the more dangerous weapons.........
Round 2
He taps his boots together and he seems to speed up like Quince. Then he slams his halberd into an adjacent monstrous soldier next to the bear creature. "Thank you Quince for the heal! Katrina won't be here for likely a few minutes. We will see! Now face my fury!"

He takes down two of the armored monstrous soldiers, cutting the first one clean in half and then taking off an arm of the other. The other soldiers likely give him some breathing room.
It takes about 10 minutes to clean up the monstrous soldiers, at which point the last squad and the bloated rot covered boar rider charges forward.
He aims for Quince with his lance but in a rush Jorne moves to his liege's side to deflect the blow.
Round 101
These soldiers are more monstrous than the ones before also baring the appearance of rot.
Round 20 to 90
He takes quick breaks from fighting about once per 5 rounds to heal himself and his allies using all of his channels.
He has expended all his manuevers, allowing allies to strike and gain other temporary bonuses that have long faded.

She takes the rear of the group healing until Katrina approaches. Then she unleashes arcane might blasting many of the monsters before them.
Out of spells and charges on her wand, she draws her greatsword and moves into melee combat.
Round 50
She arrives with a fresh attachment and Kevros. The soldiers switch out and she begins to heal. Kevros' arrows help to decimate the foes forces.
Quince nods his thanks to Jorne. Moving into position to keep up the fighting.
Combat
Your soldiers fill the empty spots and when needed swap with those that are hurt. They are not as well defended as the rest of you.
Being in the tunnel means you don't see what is going on outside.
Lykan is likely well out of time for his bear form and has resorted to back up and support with ranged attacks.

He is frustrated by the lack of attacks that hit. It seems their defenses are as high as theirs.
Quince notes more monstrous soldiers arrive. He calls out a prayer returning him to his larger size.
Quince moves forward and gives a similar boon to Jorne.
Prayer chants continue to flow from the fox like warrior as aura of angelic power emanates from him.

Round 105
Out of wild shape and effective spells to throw at his foes, The elf finds himself in a type of warfare that goes against his very style of fighting as he runs along the battlements, firing arrows, Replenishing them, dodging attacks and disrupting those who attempt spells.
His arms burning as sweat fills his brow. He aims yet another shaft at another foe.
Quince calls out in Sylvan to Lykan. "It was you. Good."
As Larina continues to take down about two monstrous soldiers per round your soldiers back away. The boss eventually drops off his dead dire boar and bears a greatsword. Still the damage is a paltry amount as most damage is healed by either Lorina or Jorne.
Looking out there are no more monstrous soldiers, goblins, or other monsters approaching the city any more.
Jorne moves out of the tunnel emerging and then running forward... Larina quickly out paces him and taunts as they both go to finish this fight.
Greetings, my liege lords! Would that I had the opportunity to contact
you via missive in gentler times. Since its founding, Tatzlford has
faced many challenges, but recent rumors of a much more disturbing
sort abound. A woman has come to Tatzlford bearing warnings that, if
they are to be believed, indicate we may face a terrible threat. She speaks
of armies of bandits, hordes of barbarians, and worse organizing to the
west beyond Hooktongue Slough. To date we have had no trouble with
these elements, but this woman is quite convincing. She tells us an army is
marching on Tatzlford. If this is true, we will need your aid in defending
our homes. Please come as soon as you can.
—In good faith, your obedient and humble servant, Mayor Loy Rezbin

"My lord Quince, apologies, we do not yet have an Air Corp: but with all the love I have, it would be preposterous for these masses of humanoids to be invisible. Let us go to Tatzleford, and then I will fly west. If there is indeed a mass of creatures marching, I will see it."
