The trio headed to the pier that the Chairman gave them and found the galleon docked there. It was indeed the same ship that they had attacked by accident, though it was now fully repaired.

Roderon could see an older woman in front of the house, in the process of bringing in logs to her residence.

She noticed him approaching. "Can I help you?" She asked. By the look of her, she seemed like an Imperial in her mid-to-late 40s.

(@Nelthro: I mentioned it a couple times, you probably just forgot.)

It was hard to miss the Centurion when it passed through the fires and headed towards the western gate.

"What in Oblivion is that?!" One of the archers yelled out.

"A giant!" Another yelled.

A few others thought it was something else.

The Redguards was aware of what a Dwarven Centurion was. There were animunculi on Stros M'Kai after all, but none were able to identify the ebony machine as one of them in the night.

The sight of the large black thing charging through the dark field was unsettling, but the soldiers managed to quickly pull themselves together.

"It's headed right for the gate!" Saryat yelled. "Shoot it down!"

The Redguard archers notched their arrows and fired on the charging Centurion. A third of them managed to hit the animunculi as it ran, but did little more than hit its metal shell and bounce off.

When the pirates fired arrows at the walls again, they hit another 4 soldiers. However, their injuries weren't serious so they were still able-bodied.

"Arrows aren't working on it, sir!" The archer yelled to Saryat.

The Sergeant cursed and ran towards the northwestern tower. ''We need to get the northern ballista trained on that thing. ''Fort Cyrus had two ballistae, one on top of the northwestern tower and one on top of the southeastern tower.

Even while the western battlements were focused on the attacking enemy, the rest of the fort wasn't empty. Other than the archers, there were another 134 other soldiers in the fort. Some of them were on the southwestern tower where they easily spotted the 20 pirates that splintered off from the main ground and were trying to circle around to the south.

30 of the Redguards in the southwestern tower moved out onto the southern battlements with bows to fire on the incoming pirates.

(Considering that the attacking army was comprised of 75 Pirates + Naerion + Yagrenac. 11 of them were injured last post, so the army was 64 men. I considered that the main force was 44 while the smaller force was 20 pirates, since you never gave any numbers.

I got 75 from 90 = initial number, - 1 = Zirkan, - 1 = Vander, -5 = Vander's men, -2 = the two that died in N'gasta's tower, - 1 Elyssa, - 4 = Elyssa's mages.)
