(For now I will do it myself. When a Co-GM is decided upon then I will likely have them RP Winterhold.)

~1st of Midyear

They saw that the barracks was adjacent to the Thane's keep, which was heavily guarded.

Other than the warehouses which housed the town's merchant goods, there didn't appear to be any stock of supplies outside the keep complex. The warehouses, one of which was occupied by Cynric's caravan, were all civilian supplies, not those of the Thane and his men.

~14th of Last Seed

With the last two days having consisted the Old Holds bombarding one section of the wall, they were able to attract most of Kastav's attention to that part of the town.

Dreekius had used this and the grappling hooks that Lord Dathman had ordered to be produced back in Windhelm, to sneak his way into the town while the guards were distracted. He had already studied the guard patrols of Kastav and they changed little since the siege began, only having increased in frequency and number of guards close to where the bombardment was occuring.

It would take probably the whole day, maybe more, but they began enacting Dathman's plan. He had proposed using the grappling hooks to sneak the Bear Berserkers into the town without them noticing. Slowly and patiently they awaited for the gaps in the enemy patrols to bring over a few men at a time.

In Fort Fellhammer Jarl Cristus' army was able to breach the fort's defenses and they assaulted the men there. Winterhold had only left a garrison of barely 100 men there, most of them appeared to be rather green, so they were easily crushed by the army 10 times their size.

While the fort was theirs, the fact that so few men were guarding it likely meant that the majority of Winterhold's forces were stationed elsewhere.

The force of 1000 hadn't suffered any casualties, but some of the men had been injured during the assault. Because of this they were ordered to stay in the fort to rest and heal up. 200 soldiers were left behind while the other 800 went ahead to rendezvous with the other part of the Pale's army that were still marching on Fort Driftshade.

Cristus sent a letter to King Korst in Kastav to inform him of the capture of the fort.
