(@Pacman: It is a large cavern, the only way to block it would be bringing the whole thing down. But that would require a ton of explosive force and would bring down part of the fort as well since the caverns is below it.

@Red: They lost their "general", that doesn't mean they don't have other officers. Neither does it mean they will just forget how to be soldiers or work as an unit. Since the captain was in the cavalry, the infantry was not even receiving orders directly from him. How could they, when he was riding around far away from them?)

To get to the corridor, Cynric had to swim across the pond, to come out the other side at the passage. It was dark in the passage, due to the lack of abundant glowing mushrooms like the rest of the cavern had. The path also seemed to go on for a long time, with no end in sight.

Topside, the mercenaries had begun dropping rocks on top of the battering ram, trying to break its wooden cover.

To the extent that they could, the warriors used their oponent's shield wall for their own defense. The spearmen were behind the warriors of the shieldwall, thus they had to stab their spears throught the openings that their comrades left them. The remaining warriors of Gweden merely stayed out of those openings, keeping their shiels higher than those of the Imperium so the opening around the warriors' heads wasn't so prominent.

While the Dragoons were expert crossbowmen with elite training, the Imperium archers were not. Hitting fast moving targets like the cavalry was difficult for them, most of their arrows missing their mark. The remainder of the cavalry saw that chasing the Dragoons had done no good for those 15 men, so they instead continue to kill the archers while trying to avoid getting killed by the bolts. It was a difficult strategy to accomplish.

The heavy units were currently fighting with the shieldwall.

The marauders hide behind their battlements, unable to fire back without getting hit by the enemy archers. They waited out the waves of arrows for now.

"We are smaller, but we are not nothing." She replied. The Lady then waved him off. "I believe your business here is concluded."

Finally, after nearly half an hour of waiting, Fryssa was allowed into the great keep with two of her escort. The rest were ordered to remain outside.

Inside, Frysa walked up the steps, past the tables and up to the throne. "Jarl Bergritte." She said, bowing slighly to show respect to the Jarl of Whiterun.

"Queen Mother Fryssa." The Jarl said with a slight nod of her head. "My men tell me that you've come to negotiate. Pray tell, what sort of negotiations?"

"I've come speaking for my son, King of the Old Holds. He means to make war with the traitorous Thane Igna Kaarn of Amol. She betrayed the kingdom after my husband was killed and has recently ambushed some of our forces. In order for his strategy to work, he needs to secure safe passage across Whiterun lands." Chancellor Fryssa informed the Jarl.
