Hmm, there's a lot of unnatural movements taking place here so can you clarify I'm understanding it properly?

Fury launched Skallagrim back, presumably away from the pillars he intends to use as mass projectiles for some sort of super-rail-gun-assault on the entire Angar-Ryllan fleet. Fury then flew after him, at this point I'd assume leaving the pillars behind him by about a mile (as that was around the distance he closed to get close to Skallagrim again.) At which point Fury stops about a hundred feet from him and slowly circles (I didn't say which direction, though I suppose you could imply it was anti-clockwise as he moved forward and then rightward to 'charge' Skallagrim.)

At which point Skallagrim activates his tether like ability connecting him to the rods, which are presumably at this point a mile behind Fury and off to his left (a little.) This causes Skallagrim to fly towards it, in a curved round-abouts manner. Does he not then zoom straight into, or at least very close, to Fury? Is this then the point where Skallagrim turns with his shield and sword? (I'm unsure if these are attacks or preventative measures.) 

As far as I can tell that all round-about makes sense, Skallagrim turns to fend off Fury while he's dragged towards the pillars, though I'd assume this would have the effect of rapidly drawing him close to Fury before he got past him. How quickly exactly is Skallagrim being dragged by the EM tether thing?
