Cinder had been silent since the battle with the Gmork. Everything had gone so fast. The prophetic wall painting, then waking up gorilla, now an army of undead. It was a lot to deal with. That and the injuries she sustained in the fight were quite severe. She could still stand and work her magic, but just barely. Blood coated the inside of her mouth and along her chin where she had been coughing it up since the fight. She took a shaky breath, attempting to calm herself down enough to think straight. Her ears perked up at the motion of setting things on fire. "I'd just like to point out that burning things is kind of my thing. So just let me know if we need some sort of fire. I wonder if these undead will burn like the other ones did?"
Dageron senses Adam's hesitation. Then turns to Kit-Tik (who I believe still has the mirrors?). "Get me Mithrandir on the mirror." (Assuming no one objects, and Gandolf is on the line)
"This is General Degaron to command. Calling in high-level close spell support to our position. I need two 8th Tier mages, one to cast Tsunami first - forcing the entire enemy army into the cliffs. Then the other to cast Earthquake on the ridgeline supporting the castle. If you do not have available support we have two AURYNs here that may still have available 'wish' abilities. Advise, over."
He looks to Cinder, then the others. "We have to move quickly as that may not work. Cinder, pick two others and begin clearing and lighting ablaze the buildings along this face of the town. Everyone else, push carts and whatever you can to block alleys and choke points." He looks to Adam. "If Mithrandir cannot aide us, I request to at least use one of the AURYN's - not both. I believe the command element is in the center of the enemy formation and an Earthquake should be enough to either destroy or severely damage it, giving us a means to charge and finish the job You are are strongest warrior - that would fall to you and those of us still standing." He looks to Dephinium, "The townspeople are scattered and disorganized. They're their own greatest liability now. You are our fastest and most maneuverable. I need you to corral them into an organized mass at the far edge of town from the invading army and act as lookout from there for flanking forces. I will keep the small mirror to stay in touch with Mithrandir." He looks at Stasoyla, "Apologies for this, I would never take a warrior from battle lightly. Can you take the large folding mirror to the rally point on the far side of town and ensure the people have an orderly retreat through it? You are second fastest and strong enough to carry it. If any enemy forces flank to your side you must retreat or destroy the mirror - it cannot be taken by the enemy regardless who is stranded on this side. Also - throw your AURYN through it before you do... Understood?" He looks to everyone else. "Stay close for the incoming assault but be prepared to brace for Earthquake."
Malenia steps out of the mirror with Adam, her own lightsaber igniting with a flash of Amber light. The light hum mixing with that of Adam's, creating an electronic buzz that rattles the metal of her Prosthetic arm. Immediately she recognizes her own companions, Stasoyla and Cinder. She falters in a step towards them, recognizing there are more serious tasks to accomplish in the moment. That the reunion of the Answer would come with time. Yet at this point she had seen all but Ereni, she wondered where her friend was now and what exactly had she seen. What they all had seen and accomplished in their time apart.
"Very well" A simple acknowledgement to Dageron, who was rapidly instructing others on what to do. Understanding that there was yet another fight in which she was needed, another task set to her. She set about doing exactly what was requested of her, Moving carts and whatever she could to block alleys and create choke points.

Malenia - [Monk - Way of the Jedi] - Auryn: Princess of Destiny
"Your Dad will be happy and you're glad about this? Delph, what has changed since we left Eternia together?"
Delphinium looks at her and seems to think about it really hard. "I donno, I did use the alicorn. I was really scared to because I thought it would change me but I feel the same. If anything I'm a bit confused why I haven't reached out to my dad in years! I guess I just wanted to stay with my mother for awhile. Which, I'm glad for. We have a really good bond now too. Anyway, cool big predators released into the world. I definitely want to see them fight. I bet I could get my dad to take us to them. He has many powers connected to hunting and predators." the fairy seems to think of something he didn't think of before. He looks confused like they can't figure it out. Then he says "I can't remember the last time I went hunting or ate meat..." They seem a bit confused but seem to shrug it off. "Something to do later I suppose."
Quote from JFCapps>>There is time to see and hear what Gandalf is doing as the warriors are shuffled around.
"Just hold them! Allow none to pass!" He says as he stands one mirror in front of the other, creating a gate for the others to pass through. He's pointing into the next mirror...through which the AURYN warriors can see a mass of writhing undead marching across a snow crusted field. "Little time to explain so listen and move! When King Haggard as killed it tripped a kill-switch. The Red Bull was released from his enthrallment to do what it will! Some of you have it pinned down in the village. That part is being handled. But there is a whole army of the dead that's been released from his service as well to do what it wants. The army is bearing down on the village. You can't destroy it, but you can hold it while the Bull is being dealt with. Do what you can, and I'll have you out of there as quickly as possible. Now go!"
The Gray Wandered gets red faced and squeezes the bridge of his nose as he keeps pointing at the mirror. Ward's voice can be heard saying something.
"Ignore the Keep!" Gandalf shouts. "It's being handled! What do you mean the Red Bull entered a temple and disappeared!?"
A heated exchange ripples through one of the small mirrors between Gandalf and the Traveling Ward as the team of warriors enter the mirror...
Delphinium immediately lands on the grumpy wizard's shoulder and asks "Hey! Oh, you're busy. Okay, don't forget to get my hawk back. They are carrying something I want. Anyway, seems they need help with undead? Sounds fun! lets go get'em! It's time to hunt undead." They will get up and get ready to fly through the mirror requested to help fight a horde of undead.
As Gandolf doesn't ask for the tri-force of power back the tiny fairy instead firmly secures it on their person. They would have to be killed to take it as they tie it to their belt and tuck it in behind it. Makes for a good belt buckle and maybe it'll help the belt Delphinium has to awaken in power. Win win in the fairy's eyes. They fly off into battle. The first thing they do it get a bird's eye view of the battlefield. They want to see what is being attacked and if anyone needs help getting away from them. It was time to hunt undead but that didn't mean that the tiny fairy would just abandon innocent people! That would just give a bad name to fey kind. They then come back down to greet all the people getting ready to fight them. "Buurrr.... its cold here. Anyway... I saw...." Delph gives a layout view perspective of the battlefield Once they finish they say "Where you want me to attack?"
Shirin takes in the twilit battlefield as the horde of undead approach, unphased. He quickly thinks of a plan.
"Would someone heal my wounds before I make a corpse of myself?" He says to nobody in particular
Whether or not the request is met, shortly after asking Shirin removes his two swords with a metallic zing, then tosses and flips them over, grabbing the blades in a sort of mordhau grip so the hilts may be used as bludgeoning weapons - better for bashing bones apart.
"Sound a horn when we are to leave, and I will make my way toward it. Until then, I will show them that darkness is not their friend, but mine."
he will step 20 feet away from the group, making sure he has created enough space. (Would like to ready an action to cast Darkness on the blade of my longsword just as the first waves closes the distance but before they make their attacks. No vision for any creatures within the darkness 15ft radius unless a creature has true/blind sight, including himself. We just have to survive, right? XD)
The wood elf watches Delph closely as they answer her, confused by their response, but doesn't question it. They seem happy with themselves at the moment, and with everything going on, she doesn't want to upset that apple cart.
Shavaris steps through the mirrors and into the cold bareness of Hagsgate. A quick shiver runs through her as she looks around at all the others that have come to assist in holding back the undead army. She can plainly see what Gandolf meant by there weren't enough of them to eliminate their foe. As she is scanning them all, she notices Kerwyn approaching Dageron.
"Kerwyn!!" She pushes past several others as she runs over to him, and after a brief awkward pause with the others around them, she throws her arms around him. "I'm so happy you're alive. I thought.. well, Delphinium was very worried about you. You shouldn't scare your friends like that." She draws back away from him, gives him a half smile, runs her hand through her short hair, and then straightens up. "Well, we have our work cut out for us." She sees Shirin ready himself for battle towards the group of undead and turns on her heel to head towards him.
Unsheathing her rapiers with a whisper of sound, she summons Eloise near her as she joins the witcher. "Darkness can be my friend as well, are you about to do what I think you are?" she gives him a wry smile as she readies her weapons. There is excitement in her eyes as she waits for what is to come.
Cinder's eyes light up when she's given her job. Setting things on fire was one of her favorite things. Second only to making things explode. "Sounds good!" When she sees Malenia she will wave at her and cheerfully exclaim, "Hey Malenia, I'm off to set the village on fire we'll all catch up later right?"
"Anyone who wants to help with fires come with me!" Whether or not anyone goes with her or not she will go and check buildings in the area Dageron suggested, getting anyone she finds out of the buildings and then setting them ablaze with a combination of Prestidigitation, Firebolt, and Control Flames.
"Kerwyn!!" She pushes past several others as she runs over to him, and after a brief awkward pause with the others around them, she throws her arms around him. "I'm so happy you're alive. I thought.. well, Delphinium was very worried about you. You shouldn't scare your friends like that." She draws back away from him, gives him a half smile, runs her hand through her short hair, and then straightens up. "Well, we have our work cut out for us." She sees Shirin ready himself for battle towards the group of undead and turns on her heel to head towards him.
“Hiya babycakes!gives hug right backSure is good to see you! A lot has happened since I saw you last…” Struts chest out “I’m a Prince now, ya know, my real name is Adam. I didn’t even know, doesn’t that beat all? Well, who knew fighting a whole hoard of undead together, who’dve thunk it? I missed you…”. He holds out his arm, lightsaber in his hand, and shows her the terribly scarred forearm where Vader almost cut his hand off. “Vader tried to kill me, but I let him have it. Then ole Greko somehow appears and Lelith and together with Jek they crushed Vader with stone. So much to catch up on. Where are you going to fight? Ole Ironbritches over there told me to close off choke points, good idea I guess, but I’m not giving him my Auryn. Ya hear that ya crotchety old bear! Just tell me what you want, if you want to relay information or have great need, just let me know.” Back to Shavaris“Hey, come with me, I like fighting by your side Ms. Deadly. Just like old times! You up for it? Let’s keep count, like before?” He extends his lightsaber, throwing it out and having it return to his hand, heading for a choke point. Over his back he shouts to her, “Cool, huh?”

The fairy gets extremely huffy as Adam recounts the tale and leaves out the best part. "Hey! You left out the part where I showed up, got the triforce back, saved the day and punched Vader! I am glad I was able to help out though. Looked like you we all in a bind. Good thing I showed up or he would of had the triforce to fight with. Not very nice to cut people out of the story Adam.... can I call you Kerwyn too? Or just Adam? Also, that's cool your a prince!" As talk goes to fighting the undead Delphinium says "I'm glad to be fighting with you too! Are we keeping count? I want in! lets go destroy some undead."
Adam replies to Delph, “Yes Delph, I’m sorry! You were there too, it was a group effort, at that point I was so near death everything got a little hazy. Sorry to leave you out of the story my speedy little friend! That fella whatshisname was going to just give the triforce over to Darth Vader and would have, it was amazing that you got it! Then he turned into a burned up tree stump or something, it was kind of weird. Hey, let’s destroy these undead, start zooming at them Delph!”

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Delphinium salutes to Adam and says "You're fellow royal and ally is happy to assist prince Adam!" they then fly off to start raining punches from above down onto the undead. They even activate a special ability they learned that seems to make then crackle and pop with electric energy. Power seems to radiate from the fairy as their blue aura around their tiny body easily grows in diameter to match even a full grown man like Adam. Preparations complete they lead the charge into battle.
Activated Effect from item: Storm Avatar for 1 minute
Flying to be out of reach of the main horde of undead the first thing they do is a familiar sight to the dawn guard. The fairy's radiant blue aura glows brighter and brighter and it's clear that Delphinium the Fireflight is about to live up to the name they were given by the Dawnguard so long ago. Like shimmering blue flame and lightning condensed into a physical form the fairy summons their spectral arms and they try to summon a lot. Delphinium being about ten feet in the air gives him a good view of where to send his fists too. The fairy is delighted to be Kicking off the battle with a barrage of massive giant sized arms with crackles of lightning dancing around them. The arm's themselves are see through but unmistakably giant arms all with balled fists as the fairy rains down a cascade of energized fists down upon the swarm. Any left standing after this and Delph will begin to throw additional punches at the undead remaining.
Bonus Action: Arms of the Astral Self: Summon - All enemies within 10 feet of delphinium must make a DC 17 Dex save or take 11 force damage.
Movement: Fly 110 feet. Aim to get as many front line undead under them within 10 feet of Delphinium as possible. Focusing on keeping them at a reach of 10 feet.
Dageron shakes his head. "Stasolya, can you also try to corral the evacuees... we lost the Pixie's attention." He shouts into the mirror once more, "Command, we're about to be overrun, it's now or not at all!"
"Yes, sir!" Stasolya, taken aback for a moment by the momentum of the Dawn Guard's reunion, turns her attention from them and takes the mirror from Kit-Tik. Stowing it carefully folded into one of her saddlebags, she swings her bagpipes around under her arm, and begins to play. The tune she chooses is a familiar happy folk tune that she's sure that the villagers of this region would be familiar with, hoping that it will draw their attention the easier to rally them, and she takes off at a gallop after the nearest group of refugees. She will pause playing briefly to tell them where to go, before racing to the next group at full bagpipe wail, making sure to also go after any stragglers she sees. In this way she tries to lead all of them to the far edge of town that Dageron indicated, avoiding and outrunning any members of the undead army that turn her way.
Travin waddles out of the mirror and with a loud voice starts proclaiming like a Market Street seller, "COME GETS YOUR UNICORN, HM LAST UNICORN IN EXISTENCE, FREE TO A GOODS HOME, YEH YEH " he then takes a look around at the people gathered and with an inquisitive eye asks "ahhh hey, where's big red damned BULL? Hmm? Travin was tolds that there was a bull? Yeh yeh hads a big ol plan to gets rid of it and everything's!"
“Hiya babycakes!gives hug right backSure is good to see you! A lot has happened since I saw you last…” Struts chest out “I’m a Prince now, ya know, my real name is Adam.

Shavaris raises an eyebrow as Ker-Adam calls her babycakes, "Seems like not everything has changed," she says with a smile. "A prince and your name is Adam? I uh, that is going to take some getting used to. And wow, that is some injury." She looks up to him with concern in her eyes, "You were shown on a wall under Atlantis.. you were shown with a saber thrust through your body by Vader. Apparently that was just a possible future.. "she sighs and ends in a shudder. "And you're right! So much to catch up on, but later. Yes!! Lets do this, come on!"
She then sees Delphinium and yells up to him, "C'mon Fireflight, let's show these others what you can do!" And she breaks into a broad grin when they turn into the Storm Avatar.
As she waits for the Witcher to cast darkness, she heads into the fray, trying to keep them at bay best she can with Eloise joining her, ready to start her count...
Multiple skeletons are reduced to rubble as Delphinium and Shavaris launch their attacks, and even the dinosaur mounted cavalry don't come out unscathed.
As the fight begins, Elders Piccolo and Krille step out onto the battlefield, looking for Dageron...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Adam has on his winged boots, so he flies into combat, swinging his lightsaber for an initial attack, focusing his attacks on any of the larger skeletons and attempting to hold any choke points closed, fighting near Shavaris and Delph. His arms become a whir of activity as the orange light from his sword slices against his opponents. “LET’S GET ‘EM! HOLD THEM BACK!”
Lightsaber attack 1 : Attack: 21 Damage: 17 slashing damage + 8 radiant damage, with hit point maximum reduced by this amount of radiant damage.
Lightsaber attack 2 : Attack: 30 Damage: 14 slashing damage + 3 radiant damage, with hit point maximum reduced by this amount of radiant damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Dageron, seeing the two materialize nearby, calls them over. "We don't have much time. I need one Tsunami to sweep the flank there towards the cliffs there." As he talks he points to the enemy lines, then the castle cliffs. "Once the wave has impacted the cliffs it will loosen the foundations of the castle and begin a mudslide on those below. Then I need an Earthquake epicentered on the cliffs along that edge - directly above them. Our forces will handle these advanced units already at the town. You must capture the main command element in both attacks!" He points to the central cluster of enemy troops. "Any questions?"

I am glad I was able to help out though. Looked like you we all in a bind. Good thing I showed up or he would of had the triforce to fight with. Not very nice to cut people out of the story Adam.... can I call you Kerwyn too? Or just Adam? Also, that's cool your a prince!" As talk goes to fighting the undead Delphinium says "I'm glad to be fighting with you too! Are we keeping count? I want in! lets go destroy some undead."
Adam replies to Delph, “Yes Delph, I’m sorry! You were there too, it was a group effort, at that point I was so near death everything got a little hazy. Sorry to leave you out of the story my speedy little friend! That fella whatshisname was going to just give the triforce over to Darth Vader and would have, it was amazing that you got it! Then he turned into a burned up tree stump or something, it was kind of weird. Hey, let’s destroy these undead, start zooming at them Delph!”

Delphinium salutes to Adam and says "You're fellow royal and ally is happy to assist prince Adam!" they then fly off to start raining punches from above down onto the undead. They even activate a special ability they learned that seems to make then crackle and pop with electric energy. Power seems to radiate from the fairy as their blue aura around their tiny body easily grows in diameter to match even a full grown man like Adam. Preparations complete they lead the charge into battle.
Activated Effect from item: Storm Avatar for 1 minute
Flying to be out of reach of the main horde of undead the first thing they do is a familiar sight to the dawn guard. The fairy's radiant blue aura glows brighter and brighter and it's clear that Delphinium the Fireflight is about to live up to the name they were given by the Dawnguard so long ago. Like shimmering blue flame and lightning condensed into a physical form the fairy summons their spectral arms and they try to summon a lot. Delphinium being about ten feet in the air gives him a good view of where to send his fists too. The fairy is delighted to be Kicking off the battle with a barrage of massive giant sized arms with crackles of lightning dancing around them. The arm's themselves are see through but unmistakably giant arms all with balled fists as the fairy rains down a cascade of energized fists down upon the swarm. Any left standing after this and Delph will begin to throw additional punches at the undead remaining.

Dageron shakes his head. "Stasolya, can you also try to corral the evacuees... we lost the Pixie's attention." He shouts into the mirror once more, "Command, we're about to be overrun, it's now or not at all!"
"Yes, sir!" Stasolya, taken aback for a moment by the momentum of the Dawn Guard's reunion, turns her attention from them and takes the mirror from Kit-Tik. Stowing it carefully folded into one of her saddlebags, she swings her bagpipes around under her arm, and begins to play. The tune she chooses is a familiar happy folk tune that she's sure that the villagers of this region would be familiar with, hoping that it will draw their attention the easier to rally them, and she takes off at a gallop after the nearest group of refugees. She will pause playing briefly to tell them where to go, before racing to the next group at full bagpipe wail, making sure to also go after any stragglers she sees. In this way she tries to lead all of them to the far edge of town that Dageron indicated, avoiding and outrunning any members of the undead army that turn her way.
Travin waddles out of the mirror and with a loud voice starts proclaiming like a Market Street seller, "COME GETS YOUR UNICORN, HM LAST UNICORN IN EXISTENCE, FREE TO A GOODS HOME, YEH YEH " he then takes a look around at the people gathered and with an inquisitive eye asks "ahhh hey, where's big red damned BULL? Hmm? Travin was tolds that there was a bull? Yeh yeh hads a big ol plan to gets rid of it and everything's!"
Shavaris raises an eyebrow as Ker-Adam calls her babycakes, "Seems like not everything has changed," she says with a smile. "A prince and your name is Adam? I uh, that is going to take some getting used to. And wow, that is some injury." She looks up to him with concern in her eyes, "You were shown on a wall under Atlantis.. you were shown with a saber thrust through your body by Vader. Apparently that was just a possible future.. " she sighs and ends in a shudder. "And you're right! So much to catch up on, but later. Yes!! Lets do this, come on!"
She then sees Delphinium and yells up to him, "C'mon Fireflight, let's show these others what you can do!" And she breaks into a broad grin when they turn into the Storm Avatar.
As she waits for the Witcher to cast darkness, she heads into the fray, trying to keep them at bay best she can with Eloise joining her, ready to start her count...

Multiple skeletons are reduced to rubble as Delphinium and Shavaris launch their attacks, and even the dinosaur mounted cavalry don't come out unscathed.
As the fight begins, Elders Piccolo and Krille step out onto the battlefield, looking for Dageron...

Adam has on his winged boots, so he flies into combat, swinging his lightsaber for an initial attack, focusing his attacks on any of the larger skeletons and attempting to hold any choke points closed, fighting near Shavaris and Delph. His arms become a whir of activity as the orange light from his sword slices against his opponents. “LET’S GET ‘EM! HOLD THEM BACK!”

Dageron, seeing the two materialize nearby, calls them over. "We don't have much time. I need one Tsunami to sweep the flank there towards the cliffs there." As he talks he points to the enemy lines, then the castle cliffs. "Once the wave has impacted the cliffs it will loosen the foundations of the castle and begin a mudslide on those below. Then I need an Earthquake epicentered on the cliffs along that edge - directly above them. Our forces will handle these advanced units already at the town. You must capture the main command element in both attacks!" He points to the central cluster of enemy troops. "Any questions?"
