Northeast Residencies

<Enter from Fortifications>

Although outnumbered 3 to 1 in terms of firepower, Raynor had a strategy. He would attempt to draw the undead into a tight funnel near the gate, making them easier to manage and destroy by limiting the numbers they would have to fight at any given moment.

The falconers would be interspersed with the mounted mages and archers. The mages would begin to gather energy for an offensive while the archers would switch to their shortbows, weapons designed for close range combat. They would should in between the legs of the earth titans, who would form a front line defense against the hoards of undead. The archers could hold multiple arrows in their draw hands and fire them in rapid succession, slowing down the zombies by strikes their rotting limb bones or head. Two archers would maintain their long bows to help snipe any particularly nasty undead which their strategy couldn't handle immediately.

Raynor would begin to cast an enchantment to help the mounted archers do their work more effectively.

The knights of the harvest would maintain at the rear and sides and a few in the front, ready to intercept any undead that came their way or got passed the titans, who would do their best to crust, stomp, and behead any undead that would approach them .


The psionic corp members, although there were only two, would remain at the very center and keep their forces coordinated.

Most importantly, the falconers would unleash their empowered falcons, now bathed in an aura of fire which made them resistant to physical damage, immune to fire damage and allowed them to incinerate undead on contact.  By dive-bombing them at high speeds, they would also utterly destroy difficult targets while releasing a blast of fire to disrupt or destroy nearby undead. They would fly high into the air and then crash into the ranks of undead in front of the titans at anywhere from 100 to 200 miles per hour (depending on the species; some were faster dive bombers and others were larger and had more powerful fire auras).

(The Aedanian Undead account told me what the weather was like on chat in case anyone wonders.)

As the rain continued to pour down from the murky and clouded sky, a small swarm of bats flew over the city, spreading out over the rooftops yet doing nothing to specifically warrant attention from either of the two factions that were fighting. Still, the fact they were there at all was rather suspicious... What were bats doing flying outside in in the daylight? Were they simply disrupted from their nesting, or was there something more?

A man appeared behind the earth titans. His presence once hidden now revealed, he seemed to appear out of thin air. Several glowing orbs made of a gold-like metal and of various sizes floated about him. He brought the smallest to his hand and spoke, his voice seemingly held a thousand voices as he spoke, "Serpent of Agni, coil around the earth." a stream of fire erupted from the orb. It took the shape of a serpent and quickly wrapped around the line of titans.

He turned to the archers who were fireing frutlessly into the horde. He snaped his fingers and all their arrows obtained a rune of fire, which would immolate the undead should the arrow stick into the target's body.

The man began to channel his magic into the orb.

The Dawn Riders fought on next to their allies, griffin claw and sword matched against tireless undead. The griffins thankfully seemed adverse to actually biting the undead, but the impact of a lance dive-bombing on undead who got around the Titans was enough to destroy the head, as was the crushing power of their talons.

General Finch saw the strange Traveller appear, but since for the moment he seemed to be an ally, she did not worry too much about it. St. George had taken a couple of snaps at some bats that had flown around the Riders for a moment, which was strange but nothing compared to fighting the Undead.

The undead horde continued to assualt but their close quarters combined with a massive amount of flaming arrows and magic created a massive flashfire through the undead civillians. Only straglers would remain an they would easily be picked off by arrows.
