(Pfft.. I stab myself every day before I go out to parkour.

Come to think of it, maybe that's why I'm not very successful at it.)

23rd of Whatver-Month-It-Is

The heavy infantry in the east of the town had been anticipating some kind of ambush when they found the breach empty, so had been travelling in marching squares, to help defend against attacks from the flank. They were on high alert, so had a few seconds inbetween the attack bieing spotted and the attack reaching them.They used this time to brace their flanks, holding up their shields and holding out their swords. Since the marching squares didn't occupy the whole width of the road, there was space enough for a couple of soldiers to attack the protruding flanks of the ambushing force.

Cynric lead a force of twenty men to attack the barracks, with the rest staying behind. The fire would obscure the vision of the guards at the dock, so he doubted they'd be able to see their forces moving. Still, he had the men double time - he was all too conscious of their time constraints.
