After several more minutes of struggling outside the inner wall gates, the remaining enemies, boxed in on three sides by alliance forces, surrenders. Yumi then dismisses the Spike Growth spells, and a flood of friendly troops from the outside quickly overwhelms the last group of defenders within the inner gates.
As friendly forces swarm over the keep, several of the leaders shout out that any pillaging and razing will be met with strict and harsh punishments--- the goal is to take the castle for ourselves, not wreck and burn it to the ground.
[ Give me a note of what you guys want to do now. Yumi is going to loot the kills and guard them, and I'll need at least one more character for that. If you plan to go off raiding the castle, I'll need the Appraise and Perception checks from you. If you plan to help out with the wounded, Heal checks and available stats on all remaining healing spells, etc etc. ]

The first wave of ashigaru archers--- seven of them--- finally climb over the walls, squeezing through the firing gap in their light armor and into the battlements... (they're still squeezing through = FF this round).
Yumi, during this time, had taken position on the battlements itself, and point-blank-shotted one of the ashigaru straight in the head as he climbed in.
From the sounds of the battle outside, it seems allies forces from both the north and the south have more or less pinned the enemy's main remaining strength against the inner wall gate/walls on the east side of the castle. The south side allies, led by the Wolf Fangs, were far closer to the gates than those from the north front... where you could see several squads of archers and musketeers, under leadership about 300ft+ away, firing volleys from behind the cover of the battlements in support of their troops below the walls.

It takes two rounds for Terasaka and Yuuta to break out of the ice (based on the last damage rolls), and Yumi finally manages to escape after those two rounds, looking very badly hurt from the combination of not-fully-healed earlier wounds plus the tentacles' thrashing. The invisible caster hasn't done a thing since--- probably fled after the last of his comrades were downed.
Shigeru could see that down in the first level of the castle, the allies' troops have completely cleared the south side of enemies and were pushing into the east and west sides. Although the Wolf Fangs' assault unit seems to be also bogged down on the east side fighting a squad of samurai that's been sent down to reinforce the collapsing ashigaru units...
To the north, the sounds of battle were getting more ferocious by the second. The allies have definitely broken through the outer wall defenses already and were engulfed in a chaotic melee inbetween the inner and outer walls.
( Shigeru gets one extra turn to do stuff while Yumi/Terasaka/Yuuta escapes )

( The objective: inner walls gatehouse, is now E-NE by 300ft. No more enemies are inbetween here and there. Currently you see only 7 guards defending it--- a naginata samurai holding the gate entrance, a katana samurai blocking the door to the controls room, and 4 spearmen + 1 musketeer that fled from here earlier, being regrouped. They probably pulled some troops off against the other shock squads, but it won't be long, possibly any second now, when archer units from the other defenses start withdrawing in through those gates... ).

The two archers took aim and each fired one shot towards Shigeru, who dodges one arrow but was struck by the other (Marty take 30 piercing dmg).
Meanwhile, two more shikigami fliers were released into the air from behind the officer, and three more from the allied summoner flew in from the south. The two groups joined in the aerial battle between Shikigamis now taking place above the party's heads, where two from each side have already been destroyed (4 enemy vs 5 allied now).
Yumi pops back up and sends three arrows through the battlements' firing gap. The first two struck musketeer1 and left him badly injured.

Shigeru's rifle bullet flies straight in towards the Gunchemist, penetrates some kind of defensive aura, blasts through a force shield, and then punches through the chest armor the target was wearing cleanly, coming out the other side with several pieces of organs... the Gunchemist then simply collapses into a heap on the ground.

Terasaka casts Cure Serious Wounds on Yumi (all 3 actions), healing 24HP and leaving her wounds looking much better. He also takes a step down to clear the firing gap and seek total cover.
The enemy musketeers busy themselves with reloading, while the two archers take aim and fire another arrow each, only to hit the battlements once again. The gunchemist also takes a shot, but the bomb crashed into the battlements, blowing a hole through it in front of Yumi (she evaded the explosion). The officer was now looking a little annoyed that their own fortifications were getting in the way...
Some more chanting was heard, and from behind the officer, 4 bird-like shikigamis were released into the air and took flight. They flew over the battlements only to crash straight into the 4 that came from Tougou's group down below, and a aerial dogfight began as they tried to pierce one-another with their sharp long peaks...
Yumi steps below the firing gap to take total cover and extinguishes the flames that lingered on her.

"Advance! Punch your bullets straight through their heads, take out that archer first!" the officer yelled (Call to Battle active), and the entire formation moved towards the party by 25ft. This time though, the musketeers knelt down and opened fire. At this range, the bullets punched through the wooden battlements with only a minor hindrance (penetration -4 instead of improved cover's -8), although the dim lighting also helped to obscure the party's positions. Out of the five shots fired at Yumi, only one managed to hit, but it was enough to not only seriously wound her but leave her dazed from the sheer impact.
As the musketeers were beginning to reload, the samurai archers each fired a shot towards Yumi, but both of the arrows struck the battlement walls instead. The gunchemist then opened fire with his cannon, and just barely managed to lob a bomb through the battlements. It struck Yumi and lit her on fire.
Yuuta then heard a spell being cast audibly, but didn't see anyone casting it (Perception: it's somewhere near the officer)(Spellcraft: Fail)... all of a suddenly, several of them began to move faster than they did before (archers, officer, gunchemist, 3x musketeers)
Yumi takes a few seconds before she gets her bearing back... the flames were burning her badly and leaving her critically injured... furthermore, it was also lighting up the shadowy area on this side of the battlements.
To the south, the main assault wave were over the ramps and moving over the battlements, except the tops were spiked so they had to tread carefully not to impale their feet. Tougou's squad has finished off the samurai unit and as her their objective, they held position and readied themselves to push back new reinforcements... their summoner however created 4 medium bird-like Shikigamis, which flew as fast as they could towards Yuuta/Terasaka/Yumi (ful-run, now 40ft away). The Wolf Fangs kept chasing after the routers and seemed intent to crash straight into the reinforcement units that way.

Flying up and N-NE, Yuuta comes over the inner wall battlements and notices--- an organized enemy formation guarding the inside. The were rushing over towards the battlements, still 70ft away, when they saw Yuuta come over and promptly deployed into a defensive row, right in-front of the quickly route to the Inner wall gatehouse--- there were 11 of them: 4 Ashigaru spearmen in the front, 5 Ashigaru musketteers behind them, an officer to the right, and a cannoneer/Gunchemist (similar weapon to Shigeru's) to the left. The Ashigaru Gunners then crouched down and took aim with their rifles, while the gunchemist fired a bomb at Yuuta but missed, detonating in flames with a multicolored burst.
The two archers also fell back from the battlements and retreated to the rest of the group...
Terasaka takes a double-move to catch up to Yumi's location - 60ft away from Yuuta
Yumi then flew up to near Yuuta, but took cover outside the battlements...
Behind them, in the outer courtyard, the Wolf Fangs' shock squads have finished half the enemy, routed them completely, and were pursuing. Tougou's squad also took down two of the four enemies they were facing, but were still fighting. In the meantime, three dozen more reinforcements were coming from the far east and far west side of the castle's outer walls.

Yumi moved up to 10ft left of Yuuta and fired an arrow straight through the battlements' firing gap, but the archer blocked it with his buckler.
Another ~60ft ahead of Yuuta, sheltered behind the cover of the inner wall battlements, two more samurai archers took aim and fired, the arrows zipping right pass Yuuta and towards Shigeru. One of them veered off as it was deflected by the magic aura, but the other struck Shigeru on the shoulder (22 piercing dmg).
( Marty is up again )
( there are 3 notable targets to choose from here: )
( 1. There's two archers behind battlement covers 120ft away N-NE, which is also the direction of your objective. Due to the height you can't see what else is behind the inner walls yet [you'd need a double-move straight up])
( 2. The archer that Judson is fighting... on map )
( 3. The Wolf Fangs are mixed up in a chaotic melee with ~20 enemy spearmen 60ft to the east, and the allies are obviously winning ).
( Dave and Judson: you can post your turns also, lest something you're to do depends on Marty's action )

Terasaka gets into a flanking position... the enemy seems somewhat menaced by the auras that he is emanating.
Archer2 attempts to slash at Yuuta again, but was easily evaded. The other archer on the outer battlements fired an arrow at Terasaka, which was also dodged.
Two arrows flew out of the inner wall battlements at Yumi, who managed to just barely dodge both, partially thank to the deflective buffs.
Yumi lands, took aim, and fired a single shot at Archer2, but he managed to block it with his buckler.
( marty is up : in addition to the other archer, there's also enemy reinforcements about to hit allied unit offmap 60ft to the NE ... including 21 ashigaru and 2 officers).

The archer dodges Yuuta's shortsword, tosses aside his bow, and draws his katana before slashing at Yuuta, which he manages to parry aside.
The other archer on the wall turns his bow to take aim at Yuuta before firing, sending an arrow straight into his shoulder (17 piercing dmg).
Two arrows fly in from the inner wall battlements (100ft away) towards Terasaka, but he evaded both of them.
Yumi also flies over the battlements and shoots an arrow straight into the archer that Yuuta engaged (she had a speed advantage during the run-up).
( Shigeru flies over the battlements )
The two dozen ashigaru to the northeast rushes closer (60ft away now), but already pivoted to face Ryouga's and Tougou's squads. To the west, four katana samurai, including an officer, was rushing over under the battlements 120ft away, but Heita's squad was moving to intercept them.
