(Why did you ever trust me?)

4th of Morning Star

The archers on the walls ducked for cover, though those in towers were perfectly safe and continued firing at the masses before them. The ground was slick with oil which made it difficult to effectively push on the gates, so the gates were only half open, restricting movement into the village. Most of the men weren't really in a position to push on the gates - those who tried would merely shove their comrades and crush them.

The 200 men attacking those entering the village were heavy infantry, and the archers found it difficult to get a shot off in the dense mass of troops. They surrounded the infantry inside the village and made pushed in on all sides, which gave S'ren-Ja an advantage despite their numerical inferiority.

The Lord was on the walls, and not that close to the messenger. He had time to duck, then ran along the walls, not much of a fighter.

25th of Rain's Hand

The rotting animals landed in the city. No one was willing to clean the animals, suspecting they were diseased, which meant they had more time to fester, but it would also take longer for disease to be transmitted to the townsfolk.

The sappers had made a good deal of progress, but it would be another two days before they were beneath the walls themselves.
