4th of Second Seed

The walls, after two weeks of bombardment, were in pretty bad shape. Though the walls themselves were intact, several artillery emplacements had been destroyed by lucky shots, and the walls themselves were covered in cracks. The front gates of the gatehouse had been busted open, though the gatehouse was intact despite the damage it had sustained.

5th of Midyear

The artillery couldn't hit the Longhouse; not only did they not know where it was, but it was well out of range.

The archers on the roofs took casualties, though slightly less than the Virtuous Blood archers, given the roofs gave them a slight advantage in aiming. The block of men defending the barracks were being pushed back by the knights with relative ease, though their heavy equipment meant that missing with even a single strike left them very vulnerable to counterattacks at weak spots in their armour, so they still took some casualties as they pushed through.

10th of Midyear

"As well as allowing your troops garrisoned in Pa'alat to return, we would send two hundred of our own soldiers," the Mayor replied. "However, we would ask that our troops be gone for no more than fourty days."

(You misunderstand, Goldy, it's one ambush spread out across half the marching column, with men hidden in multiple spots attacking in unison.)

16th of Last Seed

By the time the archers were properly organized, Southpoint forces were on the walls. They were being pushed back, but despite the archers inferior equipment they were still inflicting heavy casualties. The infantry on the sides were having better luck, but the narrow front of the walls meant it would be a while before they could help their comrades from the ladders.
