(@Red: I don`t see what else you could do. Kvatch is built on a mountain plateau, the only way up their is to climb the mountainside or go through the zigzag road.

@Sunny: No worries. With a justification your spot is secure.)

~3rd of Midyear

Cynric could hear plenty of activity in the barracks. Guards appeared to be talking nearby and every couple minutes footsteps passed by the door.

~15th of Last Seed

The battle at the townsquare only shifted in one side's favor when teh berserkers joined the fray.

Seeing as the shieldwall was focused on Korst's men, and the mages were firing from behind the formation at the same foes, Lord Dathman led his men around to attack from the flank.

The mages spotted them coming but they weren't able to stop the berserkers before they reached the guards. When they did the skirmish quickly turned in the Old Holds' favor, with the shieldwall being distrupted and allowing Korst's superior numbers to defeat the guards.

The guards fought hard, however, not giving up. They took out as many soldiers as they could before finally subcomming to their enemy. In the end the last survivors laid down their weapons. Only a little over 100 of the guards in the townsquare remained, with the rest having fallen in battle. Another 100 archers from the walls survived the battle as well.

The Old Holds' initial 1500 men were now down to 1050, with the berserkers having lost half their numbers.

The cavalry under Commander Arnor captured the keep and imprisoned the Thane and his family. King Korst headed to the keep while the army rested after the battle.

The king sent a letter to his ally, Jarl Cristus to inform him of Kastav's capture.

With the warriors having retreated slightly to protect the mages, the Baron took his chances and ordered the shieldwall to charge. The first row broke appart from the second and third and ran to meet the enemy. They crashed into Chorrol's line, while the other two rows had maintained the shieldwall, though they advanced slightly to lessen the gap between the shieldwall and the first row that was now engaged with the enemy on their front.

The chaos caused by the frenzy spells was little, as they could only effect a handful of archers out of several dozens. So the damage was rather minor.

Inside the keep it was rather empty, with only servants and other staff remaining.
