16th of Morning Star

The further addition of troops inside the already rather crowded buildings made the fight all the more hectic. Plentiful casualties fell on both sides; the Raider infantry took 80 casualties, but Wayrest's forces lost 83. Despite the losses, however, the Knights rallied together under a battle cry and continued the fight with reinvigorated morale.

The archers and longbowmen of both sides also went at it. Arrows went all over the place in the streets, taking 24 Wayrest Longbowmen and 71 Raiders archers. The archers began to panick from the superior training and numbers of their opposing marksmen, however, and their ranks became disorganised.

This report vexed the Knight-General. Usually, cow carcasses proved quite the effective strategy. But no matter. Surely it was simply because they hadn't tossed over enough.

He ordered the execution and decomposition of four more cows, to be lobbed over the walls in three days, after copious amounts of lying in the hot sun.

The swordsmen on the wall had taken a serious beating; of their original numbers, 349 remained.

This was nowhere nearly as devastating as what the Corsairs and their swordsman companions had suffered, however; only 295 of them remained, while the spearmen on the wall had only lost a little over half of their original three hundred.

Despite their victory, however, the spearmen eventually retreated into the town, headed for the keep.
