What will you do?
Have your men use their bows, and assist them with your magic.
Your men start to draw bows (at least, the ones who have them), and you join in, starting to chant as you flex your fingers.
The goblins jeer and throw more rocks at you, but this time you’re ready for them. Those of your men not fortunate to have been give shortbows raise their shields, providing cover for the archers and yourself.
You feel a familiar tingle in your arm, as the spell starts to “heat up”. Your archers nock and fire their first volley. With small bows and poorly-trained men, it’s no surprise they all miss, but they at least make the goblins duck for cover.
As the first one pops their head back up, you unleash a flaming skull at him. He ducks back behind the battlement, but that doesn’t save him, the skull smashes into the stone with explosive ****, sending both fragments of stone and chunks of goblin flying into the courtyard behind the wall.
The other goblins spring up, with grins on their faces, and you answer with one of your own. Obviously, they're used to their own tribal shamans, who can barely hold a spell together and will need a sleep afterwards. A properly empowered mage, on the other hand, can just keep casting...
And you do, sending another flaming skull hurtling at the battlement, while your men fire again, this time actually hitting one of the goblins. They duck below the battlement, you can her them conversing (well, shouting in panic) for a few moments, and then they are gone, running away as fast as their crooked legs could carry them, no doubt.
