[i]From the ramparts of the looming city, Eddie would be one of the many that would see archers lining the walls, drawing back their bowstrings and aimed them high, as the Trayvens would attempt to shield themselves from the onslaught of arrows would fly throughout their ranks, arrowheads ripping through bodies and bouncing off of phalanx shields upon the front lines. Eddie would be far enough to where he would remain safe against the wave of arrows and bolts - even as the woman next to him was struck in the cranium, the bolt tearing through the back of her head as she fell down, limp.[/i]
[i]The Trayven vanguard and accompanying assault had taken to suddenly forming an arrowhead-like structure, pushing through the sea of conflicting soldiers of purple and gold. Eddie, meanwhile, drew closer and closer to combat..[/i]

[spoiler][quote]>arrowhead-like structure[/quote] Triggered[/spoiler] Eddie pushed up towards the front of the phalanx, fearing the arrows coming from the ramparts far more than the hectic close-quarters combat that he was approaching. The light anti-stab armor that he wore [i]might[/i] protect him from a crossbow bolt, but he really didn’t want to take that chance. He kept a low profile, keeping his head down and remaining on the outskirts of the phalanx, waiting for the opportunity to break ranks, and fight targets with more discretion than the crowded melee could provide.

[spoiler]Lmao[/spoiler] [i]Soon, that breaking of ranks came.[/i] [i]As Cain would lead a surrounding flank from the right side of the battlefield, at least from Eddie's position, both sides of the battle would truly clash against each other, ranks and rows breaking apart in mere seconds as the chaos ensued. Eddie had more than a few opportunities to leap into combat, perhaps even follow the cavalry in charging the gates, if he wanted to take that chance.[/i]

It was tempting to try his hand at honorable melee combat, but somebody had to take care of the archers. Attempting to grapple up to the top from the front was a death-wish... but they weren’t expecting anyone coming from their flanks. If he wanted to get on top of the wall, Eddie’d have to get creative. Still disguised by the Trayvon Vanguard, Eddie scanned the area for a staircase or ladder that could bring him to the archers’ positions. If there were none in sight, he’d probably try his hand at using his grappling hook to scale the wall from the back.

[i]Eddie wouldn't find ladders that could reach up to the looming stone walls, at least not yet. Such things were far behind, amongst the slowly approaching battering ram. And even then.. he could use the stones set within the wall, for even as they were strong, there were still plenty of ledges that he could scale.[/i]
