(@Rifle: When I said that he'd be broke I meant also after paying Lavinia, so Roderon can afford to house all his crew in lodgings but afterwards he's not going to have any extra money. He will need to go steal some.)

Captain Aevar frowned. "Going back on your word?" He shook his head. "You offered 50, I'm taking 50. Otherwise I guess your men will just have to sleep in the streets."

The Forward set down its rowboats for Evalana, Vhor and the other 48 marines to get onboard. They sailed towards the coast of Dourstone.

Quintus took charge of the ship when they were gone.

Due to the mind-control, the archer was able to recover quickly from the bash, but his wild-slashing failed to hit Saryat, who used his shield to block the attacks.

Patiently, he waited for the mind-controlled archer to leave himself open and when he did the Sergeant slashed with his scimitar at the archer's chest. The slash cut through the light armor of the archer, but barely managed to touch the skin. It left only a minor cut across his chest. Saryat grunted.

"Sir, we're not going to be able to fix this!" The siege team told Saryat.

"Forget the ballista then, help me subdue Ahtar. The pirates did something to him, he's not himself." Saryat ordered.

The siege team drew their weapons and tried to surround Ahtar, the mind-controlled archer.

Within a few moments, Yagrenac reached the western gatehouse.

The gates were wooden, reinforced with iron and in front of them was the portculis, which was made of solid steel bars. Due to the portculist, it was impossible to reach the wooden gates behind it. The Centurion would first need to deal with the portculis before attempting to destroy the gates themselves.

"It's reached the gates!" One of the western archers pointed out.

Half the archers turned their attention to the animunculi, but since they already knew that arrows would be pointless against it they changed tactics. They grabbed large stones on the battlements and dropped them onto the Centurion.

The rocks hit Yagrenac and did minor damage to its outer shell, leaving a few dents on the metal where the stones struck.

The Bonemask pirates were unable to land any shots on the Redguards, as the other half of the archers provided suppressing fire on the pirates.

As soon as Ildeamon was done giving his orders, the cavalry crashed into his men.

Most of the pirates were able to avoid getting hit, with only 8 of them taking a direct hit from the cavarly's spears. Two of those pirates were killed, the spears hitting vital spots in their upper body. Another two were crippled, having been hit in the legs, losing the ability to stand up after the injuries. The rest received less serious injuries, only left bleeding from the spears either slashing them and not pierced through like the other 4.

12 of the pirates managed to counter-attack as the riders passed by them. Most did little against the horses, but one of the horses was crippled when Ildeamon managed to cut off one it's front legs.

The rider was thrown off his horse, but didn't suffer any serious injury from the fall. He quickly stood up and drew his scimitar, however he was now among the pirates on foot and surrounded.

Mirisa looked over her shoulder, seeing one of her own fall. She ordered the cavalry to circle around and ready for another charge, not wanting to leave one of their own among the pirates for long. ''He's going to be ganged up on. We need to rescue him.'' "With me, quickly!" She yelled.

4 of the horsemen had to draw their scimitars, since their spears were broken during the first charge.
