~20th of Hearthfire

Sadly for the Scorpion gunners, the distance between the wall and the edge of the cliff was quite short, and when the climbers started getting halfway there, they were too close to the wall for the Scorpions to fire at them. Ten or so were hit, but the rest reached the wall safely, where they tossed their grappling hooks and ropes (somehow. I don't know how they would secure them without the grappling hooks) up onto the wall. With haste, they began scaling the wall, intent on reaching the top before the guards above could get reinforcements. Swiftness was key in this operation - if they weren't quick enough, they would have to siege the city for months, and they couldn't afford to do that.
