Sorry Pane couldn't be of more help, Pat wouldn't give me any details on the battle so I couldn't make a good plan. Imrahil does as intstructed. A few cohorts of Swan Knights charge out, into the weakest section of the corisair line. They are supported by the few Nimrodel Rangers that are left, and the last of the Tirith Aear wardens, along with a few groups of men-at-arms.

Herendil himself appears, with the extremely elite Royal Swan Guard of around thirty. The soldiers, sensing this is their last stand, begin to push forward, but die in droves, their blood staining the marble floor of Tirith Aear. Meanwhile, the elite Castamir Knights begin to charge into the Swan-Knights, seeking to break the morale of the Amrothian forces. Although soldiers of Umbar are dying all around, waves and waves of them hit, trying to push the Amrothians back. The Amrothians refuse to fall back, and fling their men-at-arms and the very last of their militia forces into the thick of the battle, trying to drive the Umbarians into the sea once and for all. A few of the elite Nimrodel Rangers leap down from the upper battlements and engage in melee. The Umbarians begin to die by the thousands before the attack of the Swan-Knights, but seem, to their last breath, continue to try to take revenge on the Amrothians and fight for their king. The standard-bearer, leader of the company of Castamir Knights, blows the horn and rallies the Umbarians. "For the King! For Gondor! Long live the King! For King Aragost!" They cry as they smash forward in what is meant as one final assault to break the forces of Dol Amroth. An elite company of mounted Castamir-Knights attempts to break through the Dol Amrothian line and storm the rest of the tower, forming a spear-formation to part the men of Dol Amroth. The Dol Amrothians are forced clear off the battlements and into the tower itself. They retreat down a long hallway, and barricade the door to the massive main dining room. The dining room has all the staircases to the other levels, and constitutes the sole enterence to the Throne Room, so unless the Umbarians take it, they cannot take the rest of the tower.

The soldiers are no longer even in formations. Ranks and position disappear as militiaman fights alongside Swan Knight and Nimrodel Ranger alike. While they try to hold the massive wooden doors to the dining room, they give the troops a little time to regroup. The rest of the troops begin flipping over the stone tables to use as barricades.
