The elf jumped back, avoiding the attack. He tried to return with a strike of his own towards Andor's right side.

--

As Elina was approaching Andor, she was interrupted when an elf and human interposed themselves in her path. Neither seem to do this intentionally, but the elf had managed to force the human to retreat and that caused their fight to be push in Elina's path.

The mage would need to go around them or intervene in the fight. The elven paladin seemed to be winning the fight, as he was the one doing all the attacking while the Atmoran could barely defend himself from the elf's strikes.

Karyor struck the second militiaman man in the side of the side of the head with his axe. The axe struck the man's iron helmet and even though the axe didn't cut through it the strike was strong enough to knock the militiaman off his feet and launch the helmet off his head.

Egil was weakened, so his movements were more sluggish than usual. Nevertheless, he pulled back the Fireblade and went for a strike towards Karyor's neck.

The other militiaman tried to attack Karyor's swordarm, trying to hit him in the bend of his elbow where the armor wasn't plated.

Despite being in the duel, the Half-elf could see and hear the commotion happening at the keep entrance. He saw that reinforcements had arrived.

Harald blocked an incoming attack from Torwith and tried to stab the elf with his spear. He caught Torwith in the upper thigh, just where the plates of his leg and the plates connected to his hips didn't cover.

The elf gritted his teeth, but endured the attack. He forced Harald to retreat his spear as he swung his sword in an attempt to break it.

"Nesiro. Recall your troops. Lady Yslenor has ordered you to retreat to Ilinhame." Torwith said to the injured elf.

Nesiro healed himself. "What, but they will..."

Torwith cut him off. "We are here to cover your retreat, not to try to win the battle. Call the retreat!"

The humans couldn't understand their conversation, but the Dwemer spy Agrunac could. He was nearby, fighting off a Paladin that had attempted to flank the Jarl. ''So the elves are retreating. Seems like this battle is won then. I just need to make sure Harald doesn't die in these final moments.''

Elisiv found that hard to believe, but saw no reason for Kal to lie. "Maybe he was just pretending to be dead. I only saw him once we go up to the platforms where he was helping you fight off those archers. I didn't see him before then."

Hans didn't seem very interested in their discussion about him and as soon as he replaced his weapon he began to walk off into the forest.

"Hey, where are you going?" Jof asked.

"Thither art elves to kill." Was all he replied.

"There is a whole fortress of them somewhere east of here. You're going to get yourself outnumbered again if you go off on your own." Elisiv stated.

The man didn't reply as he walked off.
