(Sunny, could you GM Vulnim Gate for Maxi? He's currenty requesting that they surrender.)

10th of Hearthfire

Vulnim Gate was situated in the Dragontail Mountains, and the city itself was at the base of a cliff, and surrounded by rocky slopes. It had relatively strong walls, as it had a cliff on the northeastern edge which could be ignored, the only the southern slopes were relatively unobstructed and flat.

10th of Frostfall

(I'm assuming that these messengers were sent via pigeon.)

Skingrad wasn't interested in a war with Chorrol - by now, the news of Anvil's war with Kvatch had spread, and Skingrad was keen to take advantage of the relatively unguarded eastern parts of Kvatch - Shardrock was in revolt, which admittedly would lead to a relatively large troop presence there, but the Count of Skingrad was confident he could deal with an army he outnumbered about 2:1

Bruma, however, was less willing to accept a non-agression pact, seeing as Chorrol was their closest neighbour and the most obvious target for them. Nonetheless, they appreciated the threat of the Imperial City, and offered a non-agression pact for 30,000 gold a month, as well as a lump sum of 100,000 gold.

20th of Sun's Dusk

The fort's rations had been stretched very thin over the course of the five months they had been besieged, but the few soldiers who remained could afford to eat plenty, owing to the death of their comrades. As the bombardment, disease, and desertion took their respective tolls, the fort had been reduced to one hundred men. The bombardment had destroyed pretty much all of the southern wall and parts of the keep and the rest of the wall, leaving the men there guarding a pile of rubble.

The captain of the mercenaries was adamant that he would not surrender, and the soldiers that had stayed behind were insane and fiercely loyal to their captain. The fifty archers were situated on the edges of the walls, protected by fifty infantry stood just behind them.
