"Then we'll make every minute count." Nesiro stated.

He swung his arm down, ordering the archers to fire.

As the Atmoran vanguard was defending against the Storm, the elven mages and archers rained death upon them. It was incredibly difficult to defend from the three attacks at once, not even the masters of the College were so powerful as to nullify all the enemy's attacks.

"What now, Jarl? Should we retreat?" Gauldur asked, struggling to keep his own against the onslaught from the Falmer.

Retreating outside the storm's range was a sound strategy, but it would leave their backs exposed to the elves and it would make Harald seem weak in front of the other army leaders. He could not afford that. His only choice was to hold out.

"We hold!" Harald yelled. "Stand strong kinsmen! The Gods have not abandoned us yet! This stolen power will only last a few minutes! We need only survive until then! The elves will pay for desicrating Kyne's gift!"

Harald's words upheld moral in the vanguard, but they were starting to take significant losses.

"Agrunac, report." The voice rang in his head.

The Dwemer spy was in the vanguard, standing beside the Jarl with his shield up trying to block the incoming arrows raining down upon them. "''Things are not looking good. The Atmorans have been trying to breach the fortress, but to no avail as of now. They possess no artillery so they rely on their shout mages to breach the gatehouse. Though it appears the Falmer have a human on their side, or otherwise they have learned to use the Atmoran voice magic." ''He answered through the Calling.

"You cannot allow the Atmorans to lose. This battle is vital to the King's plan. Do what you must, but make sure the fortress falls whatever the cost." The Dwemer superior ordered.

Jofrodr approached the river, keeping his spell ready and casting it once they got closer. "No life signs, not in the water at least. Whatever that is it is an object."

As they got closer they could see multiple of these things floating below the water, just barely visible on the surface.

Elisiv went closer for a look at the nearest one and said. "It..looks like a barrel. Or some form of crate maybe. Though it's just floating there instead of going downstream."

"Very strange." Jof noted.
