7th of Sun's Dawn

Before the archer could raise the alarm, there was another bolt. A group of five Black Hoods ran towards the Guards of the Gate, red orbs in both their hands, and they cast two Frenzy spells at the Guards at close range, so they couldn't dodge, before running away. Another two Black Hoods started climbing the walls.

However, the Black Hoods were not recognizable as being Cynric's bodyguards - they were clad in their black, matte armour, not the standard chainmail they had been wearing before.

20th of Rain's Hand

The trebuchets, being fired from a very long range and having to fire light projectiles for extended range, were not very effective against the gate. They could not reliably hit the gate from this range, so many projectiles hit the wall or the gatehouse itself, which were somewhat more resilient and would take weeks of bombardment.
