(That is why I am always ready. I copy my post before I post it so if the Wikia eats it I can reload the page and try again.)

With the Adamantine Order busy rebuilding their forces in Daggerfall, most of the forts were empty around High Rock. The only one that remained with a full garrison was that of Camlorn, where Sir Hugo was Knight-Commander.

Cirges had been right, for when Rallaume reached the castle and began assaulting it, the guards held it.

Rallaume had his men use the surrounding buildings for cover as they exchanged fire with the men atop the battlements. He cursed, they couldn't take more than a couple hours of this before they were down to a low enough number of men that Jov could sully out and defeat them.

"We need to act." He told his men. "How many ropes do we have?" He asked.

"About 20 with grapling hooks, sir." The Bouchard soldier replied.

"20...alright. Get me twenty good men and we can make it past their defenses. Round up the best and fastest climbers." Rallaume ordered.

"Sir!" The soldier said and went to relay the order.

Rallaume looked at the walls, seeing Jovron. "Just you wait, bastard. You walls won't keep you safe and cozy forever."

Seeing the Bouchards repelled back brought hope to Jov. He had been conflicted since he read those letters. He was beginning to lose focus on what he was fighting for. That had caused him to grow nervous before the battle, but now his mind was beginning to ease.

He encouraged the men. "That's it, hold the line! No Bouchard is getting inside these walls!"

The guards cheered as they pelted the Bouchards with arrows.
