You might, concievably, double your speed, if you spent most of the day marching, have little sleep, and push your men hard. Even if you do that, by the time the men get where they were going, they would be exhausted and would really have to rest. Look at the Battle of Hastings.

Mhazard posted the battlemages following after Luciun arrived at Riverwood. He could not have concievably known what Luciun was doing before he actually did it, therefore the battlemages would not be in place. I know the timelines are getting a bit screwed up in this RP, but if you're reacting to a specific event you have to place your reaction in the timeline of that specific event.)

"An armour can not pierce a shield," Luciun replied. "And stones of war can easily break wood."

"This is your last chance." (Force march does about double speed, but then there is the effects of the terrain. With both together the journey would be much, much shorter. Especially for cavalry.

And honestly I don't even know when this takes place anymore. Time has passed too much and we were never specific. It was around the beginning of the year, that I all I remember.)

"You may need to get your eyes checked Jarl Luciun, because our walls are made of stone. And our arrows can surely pierce your armor." The Thane retorted. "This is your last chance."

On the walls of Riverwood the archers all had their arrows nocked, many of them were aiming near where the Jarl was.
