(Oh, I thought they were on bit of docks running parallel to the shore. I'll adjust their plan accordingly.

By the way, could we get some numbers for the engagement of Riften's main force? They'd be much appreciated.)

23rd of Sun's Dawn

Riften's forces on the docks took two of their longships and rowed out, not bothering to raise their masts. The archers stayed behind, firing at the general direction of Heartwood's forces in the area.

After a five minutes, the first archers were reaching the buildings around the main fights. Heartwood's forces were (presumably) preoccupied with Riften's forces, so they didn't notice the archers. Since Heartwood's troops were crammed in a small area, it was easy for the archers to shoot at the relatively undefended rears of the ambushing force.
