Elina's firebolt didn't reach Enwe, as she ducked behind the battlements to protect herself while her magicka was recovering. The mage was protected by the white stone walls of the fortress.

When enough of her magicka had recovered, Curate Enwe charged a spell and then ducked out of cover to aim it at Elina. From the look of it, it wasn't another Thunderbolt, but it was a lightning spell that she was charging in her hands.

Andor could see that the Tongues were currently helping Jarl Harald to break the defensive line of the elves that stopped them from entering the fortress. He might be very useful there. There was also a strong elf warrior nearby fighting the Jarl's militiamen whom he could attack. (I'm refering to Karyor just to be clear.)

Jarl Ivar, meanwhile, had just jumped right back into fighting the closest elf paladins.

--

Almost no elf spoke Atmoran save for a few Curates that served as spies like Admar, so Karyor was surely the most fluent among them.

Speaking in his native tongue distracted the militiaman as he was bringing down his attack and allowed Karyor to withstand it, though the militiaman was certainly strong as Karyor was only able to block the attack due to him having already braced for it.

"Vile fiend!" Skeld cursed at him after the shock of Karyor's reply had broken. He withdrew his greatsword and went for a horizontal strike at Karyor's side.

The Half-Elf could feel the muscles on his throat loosen up and stop acheing, signifying that he could shout once more.

Gauldur's atronach was defeated, giving the elven mages some breathing room and allowing them to focus once more on attacking the human army. Though the College Mages were ready for them.

The archers, meanwhile, had been brought into conflict with the Saarthal soldiers, whom had managed to make it up to the eastern battlements.

On the ground, Harald was having better luck against Nesiro's forces now that the Tongues had joined him. However, even as the humans now controlled most of the courtyard, the elves still managed to keep them away from the inner keep of the fortress.

"Hold the line! We cannot allow them to breach the inner keep!" Nesiro yelled to the paladins. He wondered what Lady Yslenor was doing at a time like this.

At this close a range, Kal's speed was a huge advantage over the mage. She plunged both weapons into the mage's neck and snuffed out his life in mere moments. The elf collapsed to the ground beside her.

Her opponent was dead, but Kal was still seriously injured from the burns she sustained. She knew that Reyl was a healer and so she was likely the best bet to quickly heal her injuries.

As soon as Lars got back on his feet he could hear the Atronach stomping its way after him, the Wall of Storms hadn't lasted much longer afterall.

When he reached the mage the atronach was right on his heel so his attack had to be quick. He was able to strike the elf's neck and punctured his throat. He could see the agony in the elf's eyes since he couldn't scream in his paralized state. However, that wound was not fatal. At least it wasn't an instantanious death for the elf.

Lars had chosen his target poorly as so the Atronach was still around. It rammed into Lars' back once more and threw the former dragonpriest over the dying elven mage and into a nearby tree.

(I'm assuming that the staff looks like it does in his picture, in which case it is pointy and could puncture flesh.)

Reyl struck the elven warrior with the lightning bolt, momentarily stunning him and causing him to fall from a misstep.

This allowed Tannr to finish off the elf that he had been attacking when he managed to grab him by the neck and with a crunch tore half the elf's neck clean off, almost decapitating the enemy.

Elisiv joined Hans and took one of the warriors on her own. The two of them dueled the elves, but the warriors managed to hold their own against them for now.

Reyl's spell effects had ended so the elves' skill in swordsmanship was allowing them to compete against the stronger humans.
