Several riders fall, disrupting others.

The riders keeping charging, a lance ramming hard into your shoulder in the mess of hooves, lances and daggers.

It takes a horse in the leg and drops it.

Kaleb leaps up, throwing a rider off of it's horse and taking hold of the reins.

After following some archers around and refusing to take the longbows several quartermasters offered him, he found his way on top of the wall walkway. Larry flips out a stand from his blaster rifle to rest on the crenel, barrel poking out of the battlement. He opened his scope and pulled out his stock, turning the compact one-handed C-11 blaster into a full-length sniper rifle. He ignored the looks that other archers were probably giving him and surveyed the opposing back lines.

Are there any obvious commanding officers in the battle? Or any mysterious hooded figures, probably wielding rods of light?

There is one knight in the back with a fancy helmet that could be interpreted as some kind of imitation of a crown. (Possibly the symbol of a duke or lesser lord.)

They miss, but do cause much chaos among the people in the army, who are seemingly charging a wizard.

Many of them reel back in fear, but the commander urges them on.

A group of about thirty archers raise longbows and fire up at the wall.

He grinned as he pulled the rifle away and hid behind the merlons. "Like a god," he says as he recalls his original plan on the mountain. He waits a few seconds and returns to his position. Knowing he likely won't hit the knight in shining armor, he fires more openly into the crowd, trying to avoid those facing the enemy.

He manages to strike a few of his shots. (It would be hard not to.)

Soldiers raise shields, but those are quickly blown through by the blaster. (Weak, wooden shields that are hardly enough for arrows, let along guns.)

The army spreads out, the commander shouting commands in a stressed voice, in a language you don't understand but can tell he is trying to get his troops back in order.

The riders keeping charging, a lance ramming hard into your shoulder in the mess of hooves, lances and daggers.

The lance dislocates Nick’s shoulder, despite the shock absorption. “Ow.” he says, feeling no pain. “Note to self: add ways to reset bones.” He’s knocked back and to the side, due to his poor anchoring, but he manages to clip a breastplate with the rust bacteria infused tip of the stick. He’d have to track down one of the spearheads, if he actually wanted to use it, but the spreading conversation of armor to triangles would hopefully give him an edge. 

Nick watches his fellows wreck havoc as he waves the tip of his stick around near the ground, picking up small amounts of rust with its magnet. Then, he sprints through the battlefield to the catapult, jumping over soldiers that try to stop him with hydrogen induced lightness, tagging metal weapons and armor with his stick, accumulating a bit of rust each time.
Around half way through, his bush branches have been drained dry and snapped, and there is a small point on the spear, with the vacuum system in the middle. He rams it into an enemy soldier, injecting him with a stabilizer and sedative producing virus while sucking blood out. The man would live - in fact, this way he would survive bleeding out and heal infections - but he’d quickly fall unconscious, and then require lots of food in a day or two, after the virus wears off. 
Knowing that he could now actually take down enemies, Nick stops moving, figuring that Larry could take out the catapult if needed. He switches to trying to cut his way through to the commander, drawing, filtering, and electrolysis-ing blood to hydrogen by stabbing those that attack him.

In a medieval castle that's under attack, and with word from Meryyn that he organized for you to eventually appear somewhere where you could stop the teleporting cycle, or at least the person operating it, and he told you to gear up.

The fighting tactics mostly work, destroying any soldiers that are misfortunate enough to cross your path. Eventually, you get close to the commander, who turns towards you and roars in anger.

He speaks, and SIMON quickly translates for the language is barely far from english.

"Begone, demon! Return to the pits of Ellvirin, and take this keep with it!" He shouts, lifting a huge greatsword, one seemingly too big for someone to wield effectively. He, apparently, doesn't care about physics, and twirls it around him like it was nothing, creating a whirling circle of metal difficult to advance on.

That’s not really how the translator works, but ok… 

“Why does everyone keep calling my stuff possessed?! I’ve just an inventor, ok? I’ll have to ask someone less murderous about this Ellvirin.” Seeing the somewhat worrying twirling of the greatsword, he continues. “Is that hydrogen filled too?” Not wanting to lose his not fully reinforced glaive, Nick uses its magnet to pick up one of the other metal triangles and flings it at the greatsword, trying to turn it into a bunch of unhelpful small metal triangles.

The flash of metal catches Larry's eyes. He considered shooting, but that move.... It seemed similar to the training simulations he went through. If the commander can spin that thing like it was nothing, who knows what strange, possibly laser-deflecting properties it has. Instead, he shot at the soldiers nearest to the knight to hopefully cause a distraction.

He strikes the soldier and the commander gives it a passing glance, but advances on Nick.

Nick had been retreating, trying to buy himself enough time for the ferrian blade-plant to reconfigure the sword. The knives come out of nowhere, distracting the commander. “Hey! I totally had that!” No you didn’t. “Fine. Thanks, Sleeper! You probably can’t hear me anyway.” Swinging his glaive in an arc to scare away the ordinary soldiers, he advances again. Who knows, maybe Sleeper even took out the commander.

The commander gasps in pain from the knives, growling and coughing. He spins, launching the sword unnaturally far towards Nick, although not with much momentum.

Nick tries to bat it away with his glaive, but that is easier said than done. It slips past and takes him in the side, which does essentially nothing. It does the fall on his foot, however, and there’s a crunching sound as it breaks a bone or two. The pain is shut off, and he lifts the sword, testing to see if it is indeed supernaturally light. The commander should be easily defeated now that he’s lost his weapon.

The blade, in fact, is supernaturally heavy. (As in, over three tons.)

One beam strikes him in the chest, blasting through his armor and throwing him to the ground. Several soldiers rally to defend him, and a few raise some pistol-like handheld crossbows and fire a small storm of darts up at Larry.

Larry throws a fist in the air in celebration before a dart hits his glove. He ducks behind the merlon to pull out the dart. He raises his communicator and finds SIMON's channel again. "Think you can take them down? If you're trying close-combat, I don't want to shoot towards you."
