As soon as Winterhold's army was within range the ballistae fired on their ranks, killing plenty of them in a few barrages. However Winterhold was not without their own artillery. They launched pots of oil onto Eastmarch, spreading the liquid on many of the army's men.

Jarl Engar didn't understand why his enemy had done this at first, as they didn't do anything with the oil until they got closer and their mages were within range to fire their spells.

Winterhold's College Mages shot fire spells onto Eastmarch's soldiers. The fire landed on some of the oil and spread it. This stunt killed almost 200 men within a minute.

Angered by this and reminded about his own experience with fire General Toralf the Burned ordered the Bear Berserkers to charge at the enemy, whom were still a ways away. This didn't stop them however, as they charged straight into the enemy's frontline, most being blocked by shields but some breaking through the army's ranks. Eastmarch's other warriors followed and soon the two armies intertwined in the dance of battle.
