The recoil of the bow's string was a satisfying twang as the arrow shaft was released. Rolan's aim was true - the arrow buried itself in the heart of the rather twisted humanoid running at the wall of the castle. That was just one of them. A large, oblong mass of them was rushing at the walls, siege ladders waving and war cries sounding, as more and more clambered up onto the battlements and hacked down nearby foot soldiers and archers. The sounds of battle were fierce and unrelenting.
Rolan swung back to easily dodge a swing of a lethal, spiked mace his way, and retreated further down the battlements to give himself time to sling his bow and draw a medium-sized, vicious-looking axe from his belt. The barbarian giving him chase bellowed and swung wildly at Rolan once again, a manoeuvre he easily outwitted with a quick sidestep and a slash at the hulking man's thick neck. His axe buried itself in the soft flesh, but Rolan wasn't taking any chances. With his free hand, he drew a knife from his belt and deftly plunged it into his victim's chest, finishing him for good. The bloodied barbarian fell backwards; Rolan sheathed his knife and sprinted up the battlements towards one of the castle towers, fresh blood flying from his flexible leather tunic. The tower was leaking.
