29th of  Frostfall

Part of Fort Linchal's garrison had been sent to Shardrock to deal with the recent revolt, leaving the fort with only 150 soldiers. The fort had strong walls with several ballistae towers, and a large, circular keep in the center. Most of the troops remaining seemed to be archers.

(Most of the "wall" is a breach, to be honest.)

20th of Sun's Dusk

The archers on the wall targeted the men bringing the ladders, and the men guarding the breach were spread pretty thin, allowing Southpoint's numerical advantage to be a factor. Still, the infantry and archers were both determined to go down fighting, so fought fierecely without relent. Still, it wasn't long before the infantry were dispatched with, though they managed to inflict sixty casualties, some of which may have been stray artillery shots. The defending archers had killed thirty of the men preparing to climb the walls by the time they were getting up, and they were now congregating around the tops of the ladders, having taken ten casualties.
