A little surprised that the invaders didn't stick to the road, Ereina readjusts to locate her closest target. The group was a considerable size, fortunately, they could only come up the ladder one at a time. Hopefully, they could take a few out before they reached the walls. As the group approaches, Ereina aims at the person carrying the front of the ladder. She takes a few deep breathes, hoping to calm herself and help steady her aim.
Ereina, based on what you've seen with the groups spreading apart and with some heading off to the western side of the city. You conclude that the barbarians seek to encircle the city and are planning to attack different parts of the outer wall simultaneously. This will put a lot of pressure on the defenses.
While you're not sure where the other groups are headed, it is fairly obvious one of the ladder squads are intending to set up directly where you all are standing.
They are about 350 feet away now and the mounted crossbow that was being set up earlier fires a shot.
Attack: 17 Damage: 18
It lands a hit and impales one of the ladder carriers. The rest of them pick up the slack and continue forward without hesitation.
It seems Kuga has deserted. Hopefully, a replacement is sent in time to aid you all.
As the battle begins to heat up, a Tiefling shows up out of nowhere. He looks around at everyone before locking his gaze on the sergeant and making a beeline for him "Seargent Galius, sir!" He says in between attempts to catch his breath "I'm sorry I'm late but whoever's in charge seems to have confused my assignment for someone else." The Tiefling realizes he is standing before his superior and stands up straight before continuing "The name's Thalion Daedheldir, sir. I'm ready, willing, and, able!"
Things are proceeding so fast that Dek can hardly keep up, what is clear however is that there is now little time for small talk. "Push ladder away! Stop enemy from climbing," the halfling calls out to his friends. The yuan-ti tactics were no different than any pirate boarding at sea. Keep the ladders away and the enemy would have no way to cross.
Dek then moves towards the edge, readying to push away the ladder should it land.
"I've been in plenty of scraps, first as a contender, then breaking them up. But this is nothing like that. This is war."

OK. "I've got some snakies right below me!" Arson calls out. "This should be easy if they're just gonna come single file!"
