(The Lord's a Khajiit, he was just educated by Imperials, so he speaks differently.

I kinda use my intuition. I play a lot of table top games, do historical re-enactments, and did an EPQ on the Second Crusade, so I'd like to think I've got a pretty good idea of how medieval battles work.)

4th of Morning Star

The archers had diffficulty getting a clear shot past the shieldwalls onto the infantry without hitting their own men, so were not particularly effective. However, due to the inferior numbers of the defenders, they were being pushed back and the infantry of Orcrest were able to re-establish their formation and fight in less cramped conditions.

Most citizens tended to run away, not particularly loyal to their Lord or their village. A few had weapons for personal defence and fought back, but were not well equipped and were dispatched with relative ease, usually inflicting minor injuries at most.

The Lord joined the infantry in the fray, fighting fiercely using techniques taught to him by Imperial Knights. He was equipped with steel plate underneath his robes and a large claymore, equipment a cut above the rest of his troops.

The archers continued firing from the wall, inflicting more casualties than they took owing to their height advantage and cover. The battlemages disabled about half of the scorpion towers, but the scorpions themselves had sniped ten battlemages.

(Daedra, that journey would take about 11 days. We've altered the journey times because they were too long and pretty inconsistent anyway.)

12th of Second Seed

The Lord of the village was a sly old lizard, and realized he wasn't going to win in the event of a battle. At the same time, he didn't want to just give up his village.

"I am willing to accept your suzerainity, but in return I would ask a small favour from the Khan, a token of goodiwll," the Lord said.
