Is it still lobbing fireballs or has it ceased all motion and activity?
The Heart was the source of the fireballs and it has teleported away.

Once Parker has 'Icafia-aid' up and running, he'll make his way back to Russell and the other wizards to see how the battle is going.

Can you still fly?

That depends on how long it has been since Russell or Luigi cast it on me and how long it lasts

You alight from the courtyard with the crowd beginning to take up the song after a few verses from the bards. It can be clearly heard along the battlements and between the song and the juggernaut stopping the tide on the walls seems to quickly turn.

You arrive to see another barrage of spells directed at the berserkers scaling the doggeden. The quality of the attackers seems less as more of them fall to the spells but their ranks are barely thinned.  The entire attacking army is inside the arc of the cannons and the spell generators are too indiscriminate to be of much help.

Before the main gate of the castle it looks for a moment to Rubius and Parker (Ari is screened by the juggernaut) that the spearhead of fiends will break through and assault the main gate themselves. Then there is a great cry of Stasis and Icefia! followed by a bolt of glory that causes one of the fiends to burst into a cascade of light and then dust. The Knights and Ajax charge them and the fiends take flight into the air. Two more are cut down by rays of light from Ajax and the Knights but the rest flee southwest. The mind flayer hesitates for a moment but then disappears in a flash as well.

The Knights have left the zombie horde at their backs and they are soon engulfed. Arion leaps from the battlements into the chaos below.

The glowing form of Asinjin flies up towards the battlements.  I look for the first person I recognize that I think will be able to hear my yell and can direct me the best as to what help is needed.

You find Thale shouting orders above cacophony. He asks you "do you have spells that will only affect the wicked? The field is total chaos with no battle lines remaining."

"Also, I can make the spell sacred if their are fiends immune to the elements; and if you have a wand or item, I can purify its effect."  I look at the fireball generators.

Well, seeing as the Juggernaut is out of commission, I suppose Rubius will fly to some elevated position out of immediate harms way.  From there, I can re-materialize, fortify my position, and start firing arrows into the fiends with the holy bow.

Are there any fiends left or did they all flee?

So Ari has the castle at his back, the wreckage to one side, and undead everywhere else?

As this didn't get much of a reaction, and occurs before Asinjin's arrival, I will continue from here.

Arion makes a running leap off the battlements. He is surrounded by a massive globe of pure white light. He crashes into the zombie horde and disappears from view for a moment but the globe of light remains. Only Rubius with his birds eye view sees him emerge apparently unharmed from the 80' drop. He begins to hack away at the nearest zombie but they surround him and appear to overbear him but within moments those closest to him begin to crumble into dust.  Soon he cannot reach one to strike at before the Gemblade's light reduces them to ash. The globe burns a hole through the horde and allows him to reach the paladins and knights.

After Damon sets you down you and Astrek are directly before the main gate. The juggernaut is to your right and there is only 40-50' between it's front edge and the castle. To your left is the primarily Demi human formation, led by Damon and his giants. They are joined by the ice gnomes, sledgehammer Dwarves and marines. They have suffered heavy casualties and are not as well organized, which you would expect given their composition.

The enemy before you is a mass of zombies but close behind them you can see the barbarians' standards and banners. Your detect evil is nearly overwhelmed but lingering in the rear you can sense a few overwhelming presences.

Damon orders his troops to form a line with the juggernaut as a right end and the left arcing back to the castle.

The juggernaut no longer radiates fear and would offer you the best vantage to shoot at the fiends but if you are attacked only the giants and maybe Ari will be able to aid you.  The battlements would offer you better protection but the fiends have not approached within a bow's range.

He blinks and looks at you. "You can make the spell generators throw holy spells?  Clear us a path! Get this wizard to the southwest tower!"

Thanis, Martine and other knights that you cannot identify with their helms closed begin hacking a path through the berserkers to the tower.
