"Alke, Alfhild (warmages) alert the village and block of the northern entrance once everyone is in the walls. Arvid (Warrior) move the Ballista to the East side, while I rally the village."
"*Sonrus* Alright everyone we have been preparing for days now, you now the drills. Phalanx (200) position Infront of the entrance on the East side, on each side of the entrance we have 25 archers shooting down into the groups, and a warning in advance two of my men are going to be joining you on each tower protecting you from enemy fire. While sneak around back and pick off those in the rear and do not panic when the fire starts. Now MOVE we have wildings to kill."
I would love to say that we moved in a uniform march all in step but it was more of a rabble. While Lydia and I went over the wall me in Eagle for her changing into a Eagle with Polymorph. While the mages Alke and Alfhild put up anti "missile" areas around the defense, while Arvid was making sure everyone was using the right equipment and keeping moral up.
60 of the wildings moved their way up to the wall while a smaller group stayed moved to the north side with bows and torchers presumably to try and burn down part of the village. Once the smaller group moved farther away Lydia and I strike, I cast *Vegg Av Ild* a wall of fire appeared Infront of the group while Lydia and I dropped polymorph then picked off the group with piercing and cutting curses while Lydia used a great sword and cut them down.
While Lydia and I fought the burning party, Arvid was leading the major defense initiative.
Arvid- "When I say thrust you thrust, when I say throw you throw. Now hold tight everyone here they come"
As the wildings charge charge Arvid commanded the archers and mage to fire, thus a wave of arrows and fireballs dentate into the crowed. this slows their charge and some even begin to retreat. Arvid demands them to hold as Lydia and I arrived to cast *Vegg Av Ild* walling them in forcing the wildings to charge the Phalanx which with the help of the archers killed the last of the raiders.

Most of the next day was spent clearing the gates and the dead looking for anything that can be sold. All the villagers agreed to not keep any survivors from the wildings, as for losses with the help of the mages and local healers we just have a number of people bed ridden. Now I just have to finalize the deal with Elder Asmund and explain my use of magic.
"Elder Asmund, it is Halvard I'm here to finish up the deal to get the land and you probably have questions."
"Yes, I do Halvard yes I do first, so long as you do not try and harm my village I will up hold my end of the deal, second I want and explanation on the magic you used, and last what are your plans now."
"In order first, thank you for up holding your end of the deal, for the magic and my plans they require a story."
"I am Halvard Maelstrom the last Patriarch of the Maelstrom clan, we were a people of warriors, scholars, craftsman, and wizards and witches. We were once the strongest of all the northern clans we were the top of all our fields of work or study but then the Seven demanded that we relinquish our lands and magic and convert to the seven. My ancestors refused and fought for years but the seven just outnumbered us till we were few so we ran, we ran to every corner of the world, and we waited for generations waiting till every record of our people were forgotten or destroyed.
As for magic, magic can be broken down into passive and active. Passive is; runes, enchanted weapons, and potions. Anyone can carve runes or brew potions, but to shoot lighting or summon fire balls must have active magic. To be able to use active magic your must have grown up or conceived in an area with a large amount of magic present or your parents must have active magic. You for example can carve or charge runes, but you could not more than a small spark of active magic."
"As for my plans I want to revive my clan, teach magic and science to the people of The North as they have not let the fear of the unknown guide them and i want your people to be the first."
"I would be more than happy to help you my friend, and we have a lot of work to do"

The wizards used a Icelandic ritual to fertilize the soil and soften it for ease of planting and plowing. The villagers where apprehensive at first but after they saw the new plows and seed rill they were really excited.
