Jax continued fighting, ignoring the orcs than retreated fro the battle.

Another attack nearly took his head as he barely managed to duck out of it's reach. He spun around and stabed the man in the stomach, pulled his sword out and blocked another attack.

At the same time another attack was aimed for his side. His reflexes brought him around to miss it and the sword sliced deep into his right arm.

Jax continued with his spin and cut the man in half.

He continued fighting with his injured arm, trying his best to stay safe and still do good.

Tindomerel had seen Arinae fall and was heading toward her, quickly, hacking orcs and men, Lebethron ramming anyone who stood in his way. Tindomerel stopped when she saw that Arinae had everything under control there. When they started back to the walls, Tindomerel kicked Lebethron hard. The stallion started for the wall with speed.
She wanted to get there quickly.


((She left Nimloth with Rhayader.))

(Just what I was thinking)

Rhayader began hacking down the orcs from his position. Older men who had stayed behind had joined him, some firing bows at the orcs. He glanced at the gate where Eomer had gathered a group of royal guardsmen to defend the entrance.
All of a sudden the gate began to break and smash open. Orcs and wild men flooded in easily outnumbering the men in the narrow entrance.
"Fire on them!"
The few archers changed their aims and Rhayder doubled his efforts. Across from him the other tower had been captured. He kicked the ladder down, with a few orcs and began hacking at orcs at another ladder.
"Where are you Airnae?!" He muttered to himself.

Arinae gasped in a breath as she mounted her horse, feeling the weariness of battle beginning to take hold, but she shouted above the clang of steel. "Move on men! Return to the walls!" The Rohirrim retreated from the main enemy, leaving them beaten for the most part, and spurred their horses full speed towards the walls. The wave of horses and men swept quickly along the wall, cutting off both retreat and approach of the enemy, hacking and spearing at them. Arinae reached the broken gates with a group of riders just in time to pin the orcs between them and the gaurdsmen.

The other men in the lookout tower had been killed and now Rhayader was getting cornered. The wolf was biting at any the ranger missed and knocking them down. But soon there were too many ladders up and the orcs had begun piling in. He fought them off as best he could but could only last so long.
"Anyone?!"

Tindomerel had rode through the broken gates before Arinae had gotten there. She had ridden Lebethron up the stairs. She dismounted, hacking off an orc head. She ran to Rhayader's aid, Lebethron knocking some of the orcs as he follwed his mistress.
"You called for help?" asked Tindomerel, smiling at the ranger.

Arinae had a line of men climb up to each wall and knock the ladders down. She herself ran along the wall, pushing down as many ladders as she could. Grabbing a torch, she shoved it into the face of an orc then lit the ladder on fire, pushing it away as it burst in flames, burning many orcs in its path. She gasped as a disarmed orc grabbed her neck from behind, and unsheathed a dagger, thrusting it back into the orc's gut. She then whipped around and decapitated it with her sword. Continueing along the wall, she called down below to the men who had finished those who had rushed in, and directed half of them to shove a temporary gate in place while the other half kept the enemy at bay outside the gates.

She made her way over to Tin and Rhayader, pausing a distance away and using her bow to accurately take out several of the opponants.

He nodded to her and smiled.
"What took you so long?!"
He lunged at another orc till there were none left in the tower. Rhayader turned his attention to the wall conecting to the tower as orcs began running toward him. He kicked the first down then slashed at the second.
"they just don't learn do they?"

"I was out have more fun," said the elf, smiling at Rhayader, then stabbing an orc.
"Then we'll just have to teach them a lesson," said Tindomerel, grinning like wild, pullng her sword back up, ready to attack.
She moved her sword swiftly, dodging attacks fairly well, with her bad leg. Lebethron knocked over a few orcs, whinnying happily. Nimloth followed Tindomerel and Rhayader, attacking an orcs that dared try to attack them.

Arinae fought hard and swift, twisting and swinging her sword skillfully, again seated in the saddle of her horse as she bent down and decapitated several orcs. The Rohirrim managed to drive the orcs and wild men off the walls and out of the city. Arinae led the riders out through the makeshift gates and pursued the men and orcs from the city, driving them out into the hills, though the enemy turned and again put up a fight.

Jax stayed out with the men defending the walls while the men behind him followed Arinae's orders and put in place a make shift gate.

His arm throbed with pain as he swung at another orc, cutting it's armof, then spining and stabing backwards into it's stomach.

Jax pulled his sword out and blocked another attack. Another sword was thrust his way that he let hit the hilt of his sword.

He twisted the blade and it fell from the orcs hands. He then kicked it up to his left hand and threw it into an enemy, stabbed the swordless orc, and ducked under an attack while cutting the attacker off at the knees.

Arinae turned quickly in her saddle to glance over the damage done to the riders, which was amazingly not much, as they skillfully detered the attacks. At the sudden movement, dizziness swept over Arinae but she did her best to ignore it, continuing to strike down the enemy, though her strokes and thrusts were weakening. She gripped onto Stardance's main for support as she nearly lost her balance in the saddle. With encouragement, the men were able to drive the enemy away. Arinae watched as the enemy retreated and kept their distance, dragging their wounded with them. She let out a sigh and relaxed, slumping over slightly in her saddle, her head resting upon the arch of her horse's neck as they returned within the walls of the city.

As the men retreated Jax stopped his fight after stabbing a remaining orc. He dropped to his knees and looked around, sword point thrust into the ground and head resting on the hilt.

The ground was covered with dead bodies, men, orcs, and horses. It was a miserable sight. One Jax had seen all to many times.

For a long moment he just stayed there, sitting on his heals and leaning his head on his hands that held the handle of his sword.

Rhayader sighed when they fled and sat on the wall. He dropped his sword and looked at his hands. They were covered with scratches from orc hands and blades.
"Not too bad."
He leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes thankful they had gone.

Arinae came through the gates followed closely by the other Rohirrim, a few of whom were wounded, but not severely, their exellent skill keeping them alive. Arinae sat straight in the saddle as they rode in, and managed to dismount from her horse steadily enough, but immediatly excused herself and strode towards a shadowed area against the wall. She slumped down against it with a wearied sigh, her hands trembling and her head throbbing with pain. Removing her helmet, she held her head in her hands, gathering her senses. Finally she stood again and made her way to the wall and spoke to Rhayader, Tin, and a few others. "How has the wall fared?" She quiestioned in a low voice, averting her eyes to look over towards the dorment enemy.

Rhayader opened one eye and saw that it was Airnae. He closed it again and let out a heavy sigh.
"No breaches, but the men defending it were almost all killed. If the remaining orcs tried anything again they would most probably try to make a breach. How many did you kill?"
