Out of Character: I was going to try, but they spotted me and moved in first. Odds of shoving them back 5' are pretty good, 15', not so much.
In any case, it doesn't sound like I am going to be able to leave the tower right now, lest the guys on the eastern wall come up and take on our spellcasters. Krusten and Ildrahil, you might consider retreating up our way before you get cut off from behind.
Albrecht, if you have Warp Wood prepared, you could seal the eastern tower trapdoor, letting us focus on holding the western stairs.

Out of Character: Albrecht doesn't have warp wood, but that impeding stone spell would make it difficult terrain that had a pretty good chance to knock anyone on it prone each round. It wouldn't be a very viable way for them to get to us then. He also can summon some griffins if more attacks per round would benefit us right now. I am not sure what to do with him. I don't want to disrupt the game and have him go look over the edge to notice the big group coming so that he can cast impeding stones down into it (Though that would be a great use of the spell). I feel that it is too much Out of Character: knowledge. I guess I can have him fight with Bastion and finish off this last guard so that we can then regroup and try to get our fighting forces back together.
Out of Character: we knew reinforcement would be coming from that direction, and you just saw/heard Deanna launch a fireball in that direction. Suspecting something might be down there worth looking at is not inappropriate to my mind.
Summon swarm, especially inside the eastern stairwell, could also do well.
We need to get Krusten out of melee and on overwatch soon, she's our best counter for their mage(S).
Out of Character: Krusten is out. She is on -3 right now and bleeding out. Concentrate on securing that wall before you attempt anything with me.
Out of Character: Yeah, Deanna! I am glad she found a way to get that drawbridge open. Thanks for the suggestion on how not to let O.O.C. Knowledge overrule common sense, Daishain. Hopefully we can get this battle under control here soon!
Out of Character: Thanks for guarding Krusten but do not worry about her, save yourselves if you have to, this battle will be very difficult. I can always create another character.
Out of Character: Ildrahil is who Ildrahil is and I have to role play him… not roll play him. He's only doing what his creator created him to do! I guess he's roguish but he is an honorable rogue and he protects his friends… even the gruff ones *wink*.
