Firewatch would've seen you coming by ship before you were even in range to fire. One can easily spot a ship dozens of miles away. So they would've know you were coming, and sent a raven to their allies. Taking the city wouldn't have been as easy as firing and leading Shanks to it. The city would've defended itself rather fiercely since they were prepared. Also don't forget that Firewatch has their Netch Cavalry, the mages mounting the Netches can use powerful illusion spells to influence your soldiers and even the Shanks.)

(1: We have not taken the city yet. We just blew up a wall. 2: I haven't even done much with the ships. All I said is that they fired. 3: We still haven't taken the city. 4: You cannot see a boat from a dozen miles away. Even if you could, it would be a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny blip. 5: Since Sadrith Mora and Port Tel are extremely far away, am I to assume that this raven can travel at the speed of light? 6: There defense is attacking us now, and is actually killing everyone (see post above). 7: Even if they used their illusion spells on the shock, it probably would have either sped up the explosions or be absolutely useless :P) (1: From what I've read the city would be a smoldering crater by now and mostly everyone would be dead. 2: The soldiers arrived on ships, and yes you did fire and break the wall. 3: I know, but by how you and Sunny and describing the battle going there isn't going to be any resistance. 4: They'd still see you and when you got closer they be able to see you more clearly. I don't see your point. 5: Sadrith Mora is rather close, a few days, maybe a week and their soldiers would be there by ship. Though the point wouldn't be for them to aid the city I'd be to take it back. 6: Yes, now. Before they seemed to be in a corner playing hacky sack why a bunch of ships and Shanks blew their city to bits and killed countless people. 7: Not on the shock, that doesn't even make sense. I mean they can calm the Shanks down with a Calm Spell, or make them attack your own soldiers as well with a Frenzy spell, or just run away with a Fear spell. And as they have mages they can use some to block the explosions, with wards.)

Firewatch's ravens were on their way to their allies, and even to the rest of their army. Only about 1000 soldiers were in their capital, the rest were elsewhere. They still had another 1400 men in the rest of their country and their allies still had their full strength. No doubt that they would spring into action as soon as possible now.
