"Having the Shield-Brother Jof remove them all seems like a waste of time." Captain Orvar stated. "We can't sit on our asses and wait until then."

Randagulf agreed. "That is true, but if the barrels have magic runes on them then we can't remove them manually or they will go off."

The Harbinger thought for a moment, then turned to the captains. "Order all your men to immediately start removing all the longships from the water. If we can't remove the trap then we will just have to spring it."

The three Captains nodded and went off to gather their crews.

Randagulf then turned to the two scouts. "Return to Elisiv and tell her to set off the trap. If we put all our manpower to it we should get the boats out of the water within an hour or two. The oil can pass through the river without issue then."

"I can close the portal at any time." Yslenor stated as she headed through. As long as she possessed the Paragon Stone she commanded the shrine.

The Falmer passing through were teleported to the Wayshrine Nexus inside the city of Ilinhame, where the injured were being cared for by other curates.

When Torwith and a few other paladins passed through the portal a few moments later, he nodded to Yslenor.

She turned to the Wayshrine and while holding the stone cast another incantation that closed the portal.

Jarl Ivar was about to order another charge at the paladins when he noticed that they began to thin out. "Their line is weaker."

"The elves must be retreating their back forces. Now is the time to attack." Egil suggested.

Ivar nodded and charged at the enemy, leading his men down the tight corridor against the elven line. The elves tried to hold them back, but Ivar cut down an elf with Foecrusher and barged his way through, creating a path for Thane Egil and the others to follow.

They swarmed the remaining paladins and cut them down, making their way through the underground until they no longer saw any more resistance.

Having followed Jarl Ivar, Elina ended up in an empty room with a large white marble shrine of some kind. Atop it rested a golden star and inside it an empty basin.

The fighting in the upper levels ended and the vanguard were just checking all the rooms for any surviving elves, but found none.

Many of the soldiers had started looting anything that looked valuable from the rooms and the corpses of their fallen enemies.

Jarl Harald did nothing to stop this, but he didn't partake in it.'' Let them take what they can carry, the battle is over. ''

It bugged him that he didn't encounter either of the elven commanders that he had fought against in the courtyard. During their taking of the keep he encountered neither Nesiro nor Torwith. Where did those elves go?
