(@Pac: Sorry, I did. :P

@Red and Sunny: I'd say 3 weeks is a more reasonable time for a boat to travel to Firsthold from Anvil, so around the 15th of Second Seed would be a more realistic arrival date.)

~23rd of Sun's Dawn

With the Riften forces now staying in formation, the Heartwood guards had a harder time in the skirmish. Before long there were only 100 of them left, 60 in the southern force and 40 in the northern one.

---

The force that had been guarding the building outside were now inside. There were 16 guards in total, the ones had had attacked Cynric before and the ones that had been elsewhere in the building. They were relatively close to the entrance and had heard the Riften force coming. Thus they were ready for them when they entered. A shieldwall blocked off Riften's advance further into the building while pikemen to the sides struck at the men trying to enter the barracks.

---

The 60 guards reached the longhouse and reported to the Lord Captain, who decided to finally join the fray. He took command of the 60 guards and began heading to the battle by the entrance.

~6th of Second Seed

Over two hours into the battle things seemed to be winding down. Skingrad had pushed into the town and were able to push back the defenders with their superior numbers. Still there were skirmishes across the town. Both sides lost a significant amount of men, but the battle drew to a halt before one side had completely killed the other.

The son of the Count of Skingrad was responsible. While the defenders were busy fighting the army in the strees he led an elite force to the Baron's Keep and killed him. He then paraded around town with the corpse of the Baron, demoralizing the defenders and getting the Baron's family to submit defeat.

In the end the army of 900 was now 680 and the defending force of 700 were now 400.

Skingrad's banners flew over the town now, the new Baron swore his loyalty to the Count's son before the populace of Brinde Home.

~10th of Second Seed

Because of the angle that the mages were firing from, it was very hard to get a direct hit on guards inside the watchtower, as the spells aimed too low hit the stone while the ones aimed higher tended to hit the roof. Still the mages were able to hinder the speed at which the scorpions could fire.

~3rd of Midyear

King Korst had received a letter from Jarl Cristus a few days ago telling him of his sister's safe arrival in Dawnstar. The news helped ease Fryssa's conscious, but Korst paid it little mind. He waited a few days before sending his reply to Cristus as now he wanted to get down to business.

Fryssa sent the king's letter, informing Jarl Cristus of Korst's intention to attack Winterhold and asking to set up a meeting so the two could speak about the matter in person. He suggested Windhelm but knew it was unlikely that the Jarl would agree. Fryssa pointed out that the most likely place he would chose would be Nightgate.
