There wasn't enough time. Not enough men, not enough time, hell, might not even be enough logs. Ralthavar knew this and feared what he had to do. Call a retreat? Would his men even listen to it? Fight to the deaths, which was assured? Ralthavar and his men just finished the first wall and had more wood scraps than logs to roll at his enemies. It seemed bleak. Ralthavar was going to call for a retreat when he saw what his men did next.<br/><br/>There was only five men left to hold back the tide of the armored column. They didn't even have the magical mauls looted from the Line breakers, just their normal maces and spears. Orcs were a proud race and would never back down from a challenge, even defeat. Ralthavar wanted them to run, but they knew what would happen if they fell back. No, if they were to fall, it was in battle, against instrumental odds, facing the enemy. The few orcs left behind charged. thanks to Leo's trap the orcs were able to get a few solid blows onto the enemy. They attacked with such ferocity and strength that in their initial charge, each of the five orcs managed to slay five of their enemies, collapsing their opponent's chest with their cudgels.<br/><br/>Ralthavar saw this and made his men work faster. Those orcs were lost, but he'll be damned if they were lost in vain. The orcs tore down the house in five minutes, which was fast enough. Those five orcs fighting against the armored column held out for ten minutes. For ten minutes five orcs raged and battled against the army of monsters, not only fighting back but actually forcing them to stop.  One by one the orcs fell on the enemies spears, but not without slaying two or even three more opponents in a blood-curdling fury. By the time the enemy resumed their march, Ralthavar and his men were ready.<br/><br/><span style="color: lightgreen">"CRUSH THEM ALL!"</span><br/><br/>Soon the streets were filled with ten to twenty foot-long logs, rolling down the street at high speeds into the enemy. These logs were at least two-feet in diameter. Their crashed into the front line of the enemy, but didn't stop there. Some continued their momentum and bounced over the first few logs and hit the back, and eventually they started to simply pile up in front of the enemy. Another obstacle for them to overcome if they wanted to get past this position. The logs would hold back the enemy for a few more minutes at most, which allowed Ralthavar and his men more time to set up a better blockade. Because they found something within the log house that they knew could help them stem the tide of their enemy; Tar.<br/><br/>With the enemy stopped Ralthavar and readied to hurl the tar. Though they were aware of what sort of structural damage they could do if the fires got loose, it would have been less than if these monsters took their position. There was only one archer amongst the orcs who could make the shot, so he was made to stay in the back where they still had a few logs left. Ralthavar and the other orcs murled the tar into the enemies' ranks to slow them down, and when they had exhausted all their supply Ralthavar gave the order to fire. The lone orcish archer raised his bow, who's arrow was set aflame.<br/><br/><span style="color: lightgreen">"We will show them was a nightmare looks like! Fire!"</span><br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Leo's traps didn't make as many kills as he liked, but it was a boon to giving the other soldiers an opening to strike true at the enemy. Leo had so many of these traps rigged around the rooftops you'd think that it was raining junk. But he could only reach so many before he found himself overextended and deep behind enemy territory. Even if he had the advantage of high ground he could not face them himself without the backing of an army or better supplies. Leo returned to the army's side when he noticed an odd sight; a very colorful dwarf overseeing the battle. Uncertain if he was an enemy Leo approached with his Skeleton key drawn.<br/><br/><span style="color: crimson">"You there! What are you doing up here?"</span><br/><br/>Leo was able to reach the dwarf's position with ease thanks to his acrobatics. The dwarf certainly didn't look like your typical warrior, but he was armed at least, so he won't be a liability. Hopefully.
