Enwe saw the ward and this time she was prepared with how to deal with it. She cast her lightning spell, though instead of aiming it at the defended Enwe she aimed behind her. The lightning spell struck the ground behind her and it then "bounced" off and struck Elina from behind.

Elina's ward spell was unable to block the Chain Lightning as it only protected her from the front. She was stunned by the attack and had some of her magicka drained.

Satisfied, Enwe charged another Chain Lightning.

As Andor was approaching the front lines, he heard Jarl Harald commanding the Tongues.

"Together now! Use the thu'um to blast their line apart!" Harald ordered the Tongues to use Unreleting Force.

Andor knew that shout and could join in the chorus of the storm voice.

Karyor's shout hit much of the Drakefell militia and showed very clearly to the Atmorans who among the Falmer was the enemy Tongue. The fact that it was an elf and not a captured human surprised them all.

Marked for Death began sapping away Skeld's strength and weakning his armor. It made his attack on Karyor much weaker than normal and allowed him to block it rather easily.

"You....you. You. How? Kyne's gift!" Skeld was trying to process the revelation. His greatsword began slumping towards the ground as he found it hard to hold due to the weakening from the shout.

Karyor's shout no doubt gained him the attention of other Atmorans, whom would likely attack him soon enough. If the Stormhawk was not careful he could be swarmed by enemies.

Yslenor had been watching the battle since it had begun and remained on the sidelines until the gates were busted open. When that happened she headed down to the wayshrine and used it to teleport to Ilinhame, where she was now.

"Report, Curate." Arch-Paladin Udhellor said with a serious authoritive tone, not his usual formal submissive tone towards Lady Yslenor.

"The humans have broken through the gates and are currently fighting for control of the courtyard. They've yet to breach the keep, but it is inevitable as things stand. They outnumber us greatly and they had mages among them almost as skill as ours." Yslenor replied.

Udhellor contemplated the news. "Inevitable? You don't see a chance of winning? What of Karyor?" He asked after a moment.

"Karyor was able to deal a major blow to the human vanguard, but now that the battle has devolved into a Skirmish it is no longer feasible for him to use his storm spell. It would endanger our own soldiers." Yslenor explained. "With reinforcements we might be able to get a pyrrhic victory, but that would greatly reduce our strength for the next battle."

The Arch-Paladin agreed. They had to conserve their strength in every battle, for the humans were invading from multiple fronts. Already his scouts had reported the humans crossing the Lake towards their western fortress. "We will need to pull back. Torwith, go with the Lady Curate and make sure as many make it here as possible. Though do not risk the humans reaching the wayshrine."

Reyl successfully healed Kal, who could no longer feel the pain from the burns on her skin. The damage was entirely reverted.

Having killed his opponent, Tannr turned his attention to the elf that Reyl had blasted with lightning. The warrior was getting back up and was the nearest opponent to the sabercat.

The elf yelled something angrily at the creature and then helf his left hand up. It looked like he had been about to cast a spell at the sabercat, but Tannr lunged at him and grabbed the elf's arm. The elf screamed as the cat bit into his forearm. In response the warrior stabbed Tannr in the side with his sword.

Jofrodr, meanwhile, was still in his duel with the elf. "One sword isn't working, guess I'll need to use two." In his left hand he cast Bound Sword and summoned a spectral weapon into his grip. He attacked with both swords rather expertly, using one to lock the elf's own weapon and the other to land a strike under his arm. He thrust deep into the elf's armpit. Though the elf warrior proved himself also to be a mage as he used his freehand to shoot a blast of flames at Jofrodr's upper body.
