Luck, it would seem, was not on Daggerfall’s side this day. The camp's palisade remained stubbornly unlit, and the fight between the two groups of infantry had reached an unfortunate conclusion. Having inflicted a paltry 20 casualties on the now 527 Mercenary bloc, Daggerfall’s own infantry suffered 63 casualties, and retreated with as much dignity as they could muster. This left the Mercenaries free to come down the walls. The Mercenaries, for the moment, were content to regroup and catch their breath at the gate to the fort.

The Cavalry fared much better. 147 Crossbowmen were run down, reducing their number to 127. 1 Cavalryman foolishly galloped headfirst into the palisade, giving both him and the horse brain trauma, but the other 85 were having a field day.
