The Guardians of Asgaard!!!

[Cleavon]

Brunmir grins wide, knowing that indeed Grensfel has found a mighty weapon in this coming battle. He nodded his head back towards the barracks, and began walking that way.

"Come! I will show you what our scouts have told us. They are clearing some timber further back behind their lines to build the blasted things. We have one of the locations marked on our maps and the scouts are doing their best to locate any others."

As the party makes their way into the barracks you can smell the strong scent of herbs, several men laying wounded in beds. Poultices of hardy herbs that grow in the harsh climate covering their wounds.

Brunmir sets about showing the location, in a small valley about a half mile from the city wall. He begins to detail the best route to assault the area when the horns on the wall begin to sound. Brunmirs face drains of color and he rushes out. His voice can be heard in the courtyard.

"Men to the walls! Men to the walls! Enemies spotted marching on the gate!"

Turning his mouth is a fine grim line.

"Looks like the trip will have to wait. They've sent another line of their blasted deadites."

[Gamblerjoe]

Ford

Ford grips the handle of his falchion with his left hand, waiting to draw it. His white furs are speckled with pink and red, but his silvery breastplate is pristine and reflects the light of the sun. "Soon my new friend...You will be drawn and we will come to glory. Strudder bless us on the battlefield this day."

[Daravon_35]

Korack smiles, some of the niceness he showed earlier quickly disappearing. "And I thought we were going to have to go to them? It's so nice of them to come to our doorstep to die."

Suddenly a load roar seems to rip out from his lungs as he charges off after Ford, his spear and shield held at the ready.

[drakir_nosslin]

Fengr

The totemist rushes after his friends, his claws already crackling with the energy from his new gauntlets.
"Let us show them the might of Valhalla here, before burning their towers and scattering their troops. No harm will come to Grensfel this time!"

[sitandbehitski]

"Let us send these foul creatures back to Niflheim," Janick says hoisting his spear above his head, he then lets out a bellowing war chant:

"Under winter skies
We stand glorious
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious

No retreat
No remorse
Victory
Will be ours!"

[Gorthok]

Wulfgar Njordson

Wulfgar's stoic silence is broken by the roar of this compatriots. He shoots a quick glance at Brunmir, "We'll catch up later old friend. I have need to give these undead bastards a Grensfel warrior's greeting!!"

Wulfgar rushes out the barracks following his new friends, He begins to chant, magic letting his voice rise above the din of battle.

"All those many that have died before us. All those many who will protect this land after us. We bring to you the destruction of our current foes. By Hiemdall's hand and Odin's command, We have come. Our foes know not the force they are dealing. With all of our strength, we shall push them back to the edge of Hel and strike down the one whom wields The Blade of Night, Lopt!"

Brunmir gathers the party near the gates, which are reinforced with strong timber across their length. Hay bales are stacked behind them to help keep out the blustery winds from the north. On either side of the gate are ladders to ascend the thirty foot walls of Grensfel.

"We've seen some strange things come at our walls lads. Lopt has unnatural power at his command for certain. A druid leads these undead hordes, a former son of Nelgaard. His name is Dengar and he is now a bringer of death with the Elsimar horde. He came to declare that Lopt had given him a protector, a great evil spirit. We haven't seen it, but none of us doubt his claim."

He grimaces as he hops up onto the ladder, beginning his way up onto the wall.

"Enough talk. Lets have some fun."

[Daravon_35]

Korack's breath forms in front of his face as he reaches the top of the wall. He's almost gasping for air, taking in as much of the cold frost as he can. His eyes dart around the battlefield, as he does a quick count of the enemies, ignoring the mass still off in the distance. He knows they need to deal with the here and now to even worry about the later.

Then he laughs, a loud boisterous laugh, fills the air. "By Thor's beard! I love when my enemies line up for me. Such order, such foolishness. Thor shall make them wish they had never walked this earth again." And as the words leave his mouth, so do his arms shoot up in front of him. The air picks up around him, as small blue lights begin to dance around his form. From their radiance you can even make out the image of a large brown bear standing behind the shaman, it's maw open and roaring along with the laughing man.

Korack's going to cast Arc of lightning on S1 to S5. It'll hit S1, S2, S3, S4, TS1, and S5. Ref DC 18 for half damage. No spell resistance, but it is all lightning damage, so hopefully they're not immune to that.

The Lightning discharged by Korack arcs along the line of skeletal warriors, their bones blackening and cracking. They certainly look the worse for wear. Fords falchion near cuts one of the approaching zombies in half, its shambling corpse hardly able to keep together.

Wulfgars arrows chip and scratch at the skeletons bones but find it hard to deal any major damage. The two archers on either end of this section of wall make a few shots into the undead, having much the same effect but not giving up.

The Large Troll skeletons push the Siege towers into place, and the skeletons and zombies shamble towards them.

[Daravon_35]

Korack once again begins to wave his arms in front of him, this time a bit more cautiously as the undead have begun to reach the wall. Suddenly lightning arcs out across the battlefield, striking through several undead.

Korack is casting defensively if he has to, to avoid an OoA from Z4. He's then going to Arc of Lightning again from Z1 to TS1 (the corners he's using are the bottom left of Z1's square and the top middle of TS1's square. Thus his Arc of Lightning should hit Z1, Z2, S3, TS1.


Cast Defensively DC 19: (1d20+14)[31]
Arc of Lightning Ref DC 18: (9d6)[32]

From what I can find in the PHB on page 134, the middle sides of a large creature's space count as corners. If you want to rule differently Cleavon let me know and I'll change the targets to S2, S3, and TS1 since those are more clearly/easily in a line.

Wulfgars arrows find better purchase into the flesh of the zombies, though they still only slow the things down.

Fords falchion cuts down the zombie in front of him and his cleaving attacks help Fengr bring the second one down as well. Fengr steps up onto the wall.

Brunmir hacks away at the zombie in front of him as more undead pour out onto the wall. He takes a few small cuts to his arms and legs as he fends off their clumsy attacks. Two of the shambling creatures attack Korack.

Korack grunts as he takes the wound, blood now seeping from the gash. His eyes dart back and forth at the oncoming undead and for the first time he realizes he might be in trouble. Then suddenly he smiles, a sheepish grin, before the giant brown bear appears behind him roaring out once more, it's form quickly merging with the shaman.

His body wavers, then wafts, turning into a smokey see through shape, of a giant brown bear.
