Battle of Ice and Fire

Eredin was watching as more of his men streamed through the forest, he knew they were somehow being picked off but didn't know what it as from. He assumed it was from the Mage but guessed they would run out of energy soon enough. He looks to a nearby Navigator bringing troops in and grabs them, "You, create a projection of the battle." he states.

The Navigator complies as if he refused he'd most certainly be killed, a few seconds later Eredin is showed what's currently happening. He sees his warriors being overwhelmed by constant and consistent reinforcements from the keep, he had no idea how they'd managed to fit so many people inside the castle but decided that magic must be involved.

On the wall he can see a large number of people doing nothing and just observing as their warriors run out to fight and die. However what draws his attention are the inhuman people present, one woman with the lower half of a flaming spider, one with obvious Draconic traits wielding a huge bow and other men. One with another huge bow and the other throwing what look like lightning bolts haphazardly from the wall at his men.

Eredin "Caranthir! See this!?!"

The General nods and pales under his mask, "That woman... Could she be a Golden Dragon?" he asks with a hint of fear in his voice.

Eredin growls, "Ignore her! I mean the two men, one is using magic I've never seen before... And the other seem to match the description of the Mage you encountered."

Caranthir looks closer and nods, "It's the Mage, though I do not know of the magic the other is using."

Eredin "And what of these masked people who disappear when killed?!? Could they be magical constructs?"

Caranthir shakes his head, "No, it would be easy to tell if they were... They are something different."

Eredin growls "We are making no progress towards the girl, that shield blocks the Frost so we must use our other tools. Tell the soldiers to throw their bombs!"

Caranthir nods and sends off a couple higher up soldiers to make the command.

Over in the battle the Wild Hunt soldiers had been pushed to the treeline and had been on the defensive ever since Solaire started being proactive. The Prospects were all trying to breach the formation but were constantly under attack from the Wild Hunt hounds that sprint from between the armoured soldiers legs to attack at awkward angles.

However Reima notices a few soldiers shouting commands at the soldiers, they back off slightly and grab ahold of the rune inscripted spheres attached to their belts and throw them onto the battle field, at first they don't do anything but not long after they touched the floor they begin to glow brightly. The Prospects are trapped between the Wild Hunt soldiers and the spheres and are unable to escape, Risryn leaps over the shields and begins to cut down a large amount of enemies, however she's killed surround, slowed by magic and cut down.

The spheres eventually explode, causing everything near them to freeze solid. That isn't all however as the spheres the dead soldiers were carrying also explode, causing a chain reaction that freezes everything on the battle field. This traps most of the Prospects in ice which turns out to be a perfect counter to their immortality as they aren't yet dead!

Reima sees this and realises that the next phase of battle is beginning, "Solaire get the Chaos Servants ready to cast." he states as the fraction of Prospects who'd not been frozen make their way back to the wall. Fortunately Risryn had been killed and not frozen as she'd be invaluable against their numbers.

With the Prospects no longer impeding the Wild Hunts progress they form a shield wall and slowly make their way towards the keep. A few pick up the ladders previously dropped by their fallen comrades and try to get against the wall... However the Pyromancers have started their assault.

Quelaag is the first to begin, she leans over the wall and casts Great Chaos Fireball, it hits their shields but explodes into lava afterwards, flowing over their defences and burning the few hit to death. Those nearby have their armour heat up to unbearable temperatures, causing them to back away out of the shield wall where the other Pyromancers pick them off.

Logan who's been observing the battle from the wall conjures a Crystal Soul Spear that annihilates a part of the shield wall, however it's quickly fixed by the reinforcements that seem to never end.

Solaire is probably the person doing the most work against the shield wall as their armour is all conductive, a rain of lightning bolts reduce their numbers quicker than they can even replenish.

Reima himself is throwing wide radius Pyromancies at the reinforcements, burning them to ashes and molten metal with ease. Again, as it had been before the Wild Hunt was unable to get the ladders onto the wall with their numbers constantly being reduced by the bombardment of powerful Pyromancies, Sorceries, Miracles and Magics. The gas pockets that Ermion had summoned were quickly used up at fuel for the Pyromancies, anyone being caught in their radius instantly being reduced to red mist and metal fragments that ended up hurtling towards their allies.

The Navigators near the treeline attempt to pick off some of the Pyromancers on the wall, however the Flame Guard instantly block their attacks with their tower shields, making sure to defend the much less armoured Pyreblades and Pyromancers.

Triss who's observing the battle from higher up is almost entranced by the amount of fiery death being laid upon the Wild Hunt, she'd be sure to enquire about this peculiar method of magic after the battle.
