(@Septimus: That's alright. You can take over the siege from here, though I have some great ideas that I could share with you if you'd like. I can also help you with it by RPing with Sir Jadier.

@Zoor: Yeah, I think that sound about right. As for Northpoint, both Damian's knights and Ancois' soldiers remained for sure. As well as the men of Old Gate. That is nearly half of their forces right there. Oh and about Balin, do you want me to help you with RPing that. I don't have much to do now that the wedding is over. :P

Wooden king? I don't recall that character or those bosmer archers.

@Sunny: I believe that was what happened. Though Elyas isn't as young as Jovron, he was in his late 20s if I recall. Though he is pretty naive, so convincing him wouldn't be too hard.)

The Shornhelm force was all a distance from the breach, they were not in clear sight of the enemy artillery. They were using the surrounding buildings as cover, in truth the rebels didn't even know that the army was there. They had just assumed that they'd be near the breach to defend against them in case of an attack, but the way looked clear. Either the enemy had retreated back to the castle to defend Emeric, or the were hiding. There was no way to know for sure from where Tormund and the rebels were.

The enemy archers were also too far away from the city to be able to hit it. (Assuming that they are still near the artilery, unless they've advanced closer to the wall already.) Even so, even if they were able to shoot at the city, they didn't have a clear target so they would be shooting blindly at supposedly nothing.

Oddly the Shornhelm soldiers didn't leave any sentries elsewhere in the city. Their whole force was under General Lux's command near the breach. So the prowlers had no one to strike, unless they wished to engage with the enemy units near the breach, but that would cause them to be discovered and even if they were vampires they were heavily outnumbered against the loyalists. Attacking them head on would mean their deaths.
