ishtar thought for a moment,"NO, we fight forward, we push forward not retreat, because if we do then not only are we putting ourselves in a dead end street but are also exposing the castle, as you must have seen, the castle is right next to my place."

"The warg riders are only interested in you, Ishtar. You must've killed some VERY important people. The riders could find their way into the city (Past the city guard) pretty easy. There are a million entries into Shandon. Some visible, some hidden. I think we should fight them outside the city like Ishtar said. A batte here would cause a lot more casualties than needed."
Aten pauses for a second before talking again.
"Be warned, these warg riders are skilled necromancers, I doubt they would need any more trropers to tear down this manor. I have seen them shout their warcries and bang their wardrums at night. They move like the wind and are more than a match for the four of us."

"Is there any cover like bushes or trees outside Shandon?" asks Nightwolf "we might possible be able to lay an ambush then storm the wargs, Ishtar you know this area well perhaps you can offer some insight?". "Also my wolf brothers would gladly tear into warg flesh".

((ok fine saad, join, but no 1 after this, and now there will definitely be more wargs.))
ishtar looked at kummo and answered,"well yes, there is a lot of greenery, at the castle's main entrance, but i doubt they will enter from there, as the king has archers and guards positioned there.well there is one thought i had, i could ask the king for help."
ishtar sighs,"nightwolf wolves are excellent hunters and truely one of the most agile, swift animals, i admire them, but wargs are really tough beasts and are more like enchanted animals, they might be a tough match for your wolves, so i suggest you call a LOt of allies or, be prepared to loose some. we really have very little hope here, i wonder who i killed that was so important, maybe we could strike a deal with them, however orcs aren't known very well for their negotiation skills."

'No they aren't seeing as their idea of negotiations is hamerring each other till one of them dies...' Alsdair said. - 'Were not in a good situation. The king does not have that many men, and most of them are already stationed at various parts of the kingdom, wwe could ask for help from the city watch, but there not exactly used to combat...'

"This is our battle, not the king's. The riders are heading here to avenge a death, it would be dishounorable to beat them through strength in numbers. Doing so would make us stoop to their level."

ishtar sighs,"where's the good old brutality and barbarism gone. anyway we would not want any innocent life to be perished, hence we will fight outside the castle, we will divide our selves into different battalions, the first will be the swordfighters, that is the one who handle swords, next will be all the people who like me do not hold any sword (alsdair will be in this group as i am to weak to be a single battalion by myself) , third will be the archers if any. then there will be the aerial creatures by which i mean aten's eagles and lastly all land animals like nightwolf's wolves and if any others."
(( state which battalion you belong to:- infantry (evry 1 who holds a word belongs here) cavalry and non- infantry units(any 1 who rides a horse and any 1 who doesn't hold a sword) archers (any 1 who holds a bow and a quiver) airborne(any ANIMAL who can fly) terrestrial(any ANIMAL who runs on land) PS= u don't need to follow the group methid choose whichever one you feel, like u want to be in. however sticking to it may make it easier to fight. ))

"Im in the non-infantry group.. with Ishtar and Alsdair. My eagles will fight only in daylight. Lets hope they attack early in the morning."

((yeah i guess)) ishtar looked at aten and nightwolf,"call your allies now, we want them to be here as fast as they can." ((xan i think u should be in the infantry section, you are really strong so, wouldn't want to disbalance the battalians.)) infantry- lord xan,nightwolf cavalry and non infantry - ishtar, alsdair,aten airborne-eagle allies terrestrial-wolf allies
tell me if the battalians are okay, unfortunately we have no archers, i guess the eagles can bomb them with rocks or something.
ishtar now looks at alsdair,"aksdair my friend, you and lord xan should go and scout, tell us approximately how many people they have." ((keep around 10 wargs and 15 orcs or sumthing like that.))

((Dude, they are just here to tear down the manor and imprison you.. not conquer the whole of Shandon. This isnt a war where we have to have battalions and stuff. But then again, you're moderator so..))
An eagle flies in from an open window into the conference room, landing on Aten's arm. Aten whispers into its ear (Yes, I know, eagles dont have external ears..). The bird flies back out through the window.
Aten smiles warmly
"They'll be here soon."

((yes, but there are 5 of us so it would seem a bit too easy and unfair)) "ok so listen, alsdair and xan you go scouting, till then we prepare for the fight." ishtar now lead the rest to the training room.

Aten follows Ishtar to the large room. It contains several books pertaining to the subject of martial arts. Towards the west of the room is a long row of punching bags and dummies for one to practice their moves on. Several targets line the wall, waiting for the arrow of an archer to hit them. The training room meets war-like the needs of not only Ishtar, but any skilled warrior in Rythanis.
