Have them duck under the railings to avoid being seen, once they expand the crack, wait until the flagship is below have them light and drop this into it" he hands a nearby captain a metal ball with a rope sticking out.

"I advise you pull all your troops back from the shore, and away from any tall buildings. They'll be firing from the ships as the men disembark." "My armies are at your command, General." says Herendil. "I must admit that in peace I am a good leader, but in war not so much. I am not the great general my grandfather was. But with your tactics combined with the strength of my Swan Men, we shall send these King's Men howling back to Umbar!

Herendil's troops immediatly put into effect anything Pane says. Trever directs, via a signal of trumpet calls, a small scouting group from the mainland to travel towards the Sea-ward Road, to check wheather or not the besiegers have it fortified. The men at the lower battlements pour hot tar and oil on the defenders and try to set it alight, while shooting them with balistae and arrows to thin their numbers so that they can enter Tirith Aear.

The men at the Gate charge, trying to break through the defenses of Dol Amroth.

Seeing the ships from Anfalas, the Iron-Ships turn and fire at the newcomers to the fray. The archers continue to match the attackers shot-for-shot with flaming arrows. The catapults, mounted on the tower like those at Minas Tirith, continue to fire flaming shot down on the siege towers

At the very last second, the gates of Tirith Aear fly open, and a company of Swan Knights, led by Eredan, charge down with fury on the unexpecting King's Men.

They both fire at each other, dealing major damage, but he King's Men are hurling themselves onto the battlements with reckless abandon. Soon, the sea-boats, damaged but still Seaworthy, are in position. The King's Men begin pouring onto the battlements, fighting to secure Tirith Aear.
