12th of Morning Star, 4E 269

After a few minutes, a column of smoke could be seen rising from the courtyard. The panicked shouts of bandits carried over into the camp of the Order.

3rd of Sun's Dawn

That night, 600 heavy infantry started moving the siege towers towards the western wall, supported by 500 archers. The archers were about 200 yards away and in loose formation, and fired at the wall. A thin sliver of moonlight illuminated the battlefield, but new moon was just a few days ago, so it was difficult to make out much.

150 heavy infantry and 450 Abacean Corsairs headed with their ladders to the gatehoue (unless the gatehouse was on the western wall, in which case they went to the northern wall), hoping the darkness of the night would lend them the element of surprise.

18th of Sun's Dawn

By the time the infantry had reached the wall and put up their ladders, the head hurling maniacs had killed 18 of the heavy infantry, reducing their total number to 692. There seemed to be about a thousand of them.

The archers had limited success, as they were firing uphill. They managed to kill 10 of the men on the wall by the time the infantry reached the walls.
