Upon Ri'vashi's order, every mage who was able made their way near the front, or anywhere else they could get a clear line of sight on the enemy. Vile's soldiers did not fail to notice the movement of the mages before them, so their leaders were able to determine what was about to happen. They positioned their own mages to be able to ward their entire front, but it did not matter that they were aware. Ri'vashi was hoping that the sheer concentrated power of their mages would be enough to break through, regardless of the enemy's preparations. 

Ahnasha herself stayed with Fendros, closer to the back of their pack. Given that her bound arrows were limitless, she could fire into the keep without consequence, though she had no idea if she was actually hitting anything. She had directed her atronach to a position close to the front. While it was not exactly a comfortable creature to be around for multiple reasons, her allies could at least accept its help a bit more readily than an undead thrall. Being that Janius was a mage, Kaleeth had to allow him in front of her, but she still stuck as close to him as possible. As soon as the mages cast their spell, they would need to rush forward to break through. Ra'kalesh and Do'ajee had already moved up beside Lorag, while Ri'vashi and her pride were closer to the center. Though, given that they were converging on the keep doors, they were all fairly close to one another. Peiter, though he stayed with his pack, was sure to remain within sight of Sabine. 

A Dagi-raht mage, one of Ri'vashi's officers, was the one in command of her mages, so he was the one to give the order. "Ready!" He shouted, allowing the mages time to charge their spells. "Fire!"
