(What is it Bee? I don't understand what you are confused about.)

The flanks moved out of the trees after Harald's vanguard. Similarly to Harald, they formed shieldwall formations for protection.

Jarl Ivar was leading his shieldwall from the center.

The elves let loose a volley of arrows at the human vanguard when they were within range of their bows. The arrows glimmered as they flew.

"Shields!" Harald yelled.

The humans blocked the volley with their shields, receiving minimal damage.

It seemed like Karyor's point was made, however within a few moments many of the arrows lit on fire on the shields. As Nesiro had alluded to, the elves possessed magic on their bows.

The fires damaged many of the humans' shields, causing panic and confusion among the vanguard formation.

Randagulf's warband sailed across Lake Geir and into the River Treva. As they winded up the river, nearing the Mereth border, they began to notice movement along the shore.

The Harbinger noted the odd movement, but order to fleet to continue up river towards their goal.

After feeling like he was being watched for quite a while, Jofrodr cast Superior Life Detection and confirmed that they were being followed.

"Is someone there?" Captain Bodvar asked.

"Yes, captain. It appears that elven scouts are following our fleet." Jof replied.

"Just out of our bows' range." Helgi muttered.

"The Harbinger has ordered us to continue ahead, so we'll have to tolerate their presence for now. Just keep an eye on the shores in case they try something." Bodvar ordered.

Jof nodded and remained alert.

Skorm's longboat came up to the city of Nimalten. It was a relately small city, one of the smallest in Skyrim, and made of a mixture of stone and wood. It had a stone wall surrounding the inner district, where the Jarl's Keep was located, a smaller wall of wood was built around the rest of the city.

The Thane's ship went into port at the lake docks.

The Morvunskar men with him weren't too happy with this detour, as it meant they might miss the battle for the elven fortress.

Skorm assured them that they would be departing as soon as his business with the Jarl was concluded.

Thane Skorm headed through the city towards the Jarl's keep with the letter in hand.
