If I were a bandit, I would want to capture them and use them to force our surrender. So they will need to be well hidden. Another option would be ambush the bandits when they demand the gates be opened. Some of us could attack them from a defensible position behind the walls while spell enhanced warriors could circle around and block their retreat."
"My spells are already fairly optimized for this situation. I have a Mage armor for protection; Silent image for stealth or trickery; Grease for battlefield control. I doubt my other spells would be as useful except for maybe Expeditious Retreat for if things go bad." Nex makes a superstitious gesture to ward against bad luck.
"Could you maintain that Silent image long enough to create an illusion of, let us say.. the gates already being open.. we couldfd combine that with us crouching low enough not to be seen on the wall walk. Then when they get right to the gate we could spring the trap. Again the enlarge ment would be useful there as with a 20' reach I could reach the ones close to the wall from the safety of the wall walk, while the rest of you could wither them with bow and crossbow. The Grease could be used to prevent retreats."
"My own magic today consists of Reinforce Armaments, which has an obvious use here in making someone's weapon sharper and harder [masterwork quality for 10 minutes], and Comprehend Languages, which is less useful with an ambush."
