Can I get down from the wall in a way that would not have me dead
You rush down into the fray.
Bash some skulls in
You rush forwards near the back of the pack, by now the all the pikemen are dead. You run towards a large soldier in all steel armor and a large flail in one hand and a longsword in the other. Everytime he swings his flail, 3 men get crushed by it. You rush forwards, your bat ready. The soldier sees you and swings his flail at you. At the last second you sidestep it, keeping your pace. As you get closer, t he soldier panics and drops his flail, reaching behind his back and bringing out anohter long sword. He swings both at you in a downwards strike, and you block it with your bat. Someone conks the soldier upside the head with a club, which makes him lose his balance for a second. This gives you the chance to break the grapple and swing your bat at his midsection. You hit and crush part of the armor, injuring the man. He yells and stumbles back and you hit him in the head. His helmet caves in and you can see blood drip down his face. You make on final swing at his head and the soldier falls over, dead.
Go stab anybody near me
You run down to the courtyard and towards the enemies infront of the gate. About halfway there, you hear a large whoosing sound and something hits the ground right next to you, knocking you to the ground. It was one of the ballistas. You can feel a searing pain in your leg as you try to get up, and realize that there are large splinters in your leg, lowering your efficiency to move.
Continue with killing people.
You whip around and come face to face with a mage, much to your surprise. He opens his mouth in a silent scream. You swing your knife towards him, and as it hits, you feel no resistance. The mage falls into a pile of dust. You come to a sudden realization and yell,
"They are decoys! The real one must be inside! Don't focus so much on these maggots out here!"
Rush back in before anyone can take a swing at me and yank it out of his chest, using it to fight my way to the mage
A soldier takes another swing at you as you lunge for your sword, knicking your arm and making a small gash. You grab your sword out of the mans chest and whip around, blocking another strike at you. You counterattack and stab the man through the stomach, killing him. You remove your sword and turn around just in time to see the doors open.
The large gates to castle open, and a silence falls over both sides. There are few enemies left in the field, and people are mostly just mopping up. Everyone can hear a faint scraping sound from inside. It gets louder, and there are more sources, and soon its almost deafining. The men near it raise their shields and get into a kneeling position. Everything goes silent.
Something burst from the darkness within. It jumps on one of the soldiers, tearing his head off and ripping his body to shreds. You all get a better look at it and realize its some sort of deformed and over sized dog. More emerge from the inside, running into the mass of soldiers.
