Fendros gave Ahnasha a sideways look and lowered his brow. He didn't want her to avoid the situation but trying to reason with her in the middle of a fight was not the best idea. He looked ahead and drew another arrow. "Later, then!" he shouted as he aimed.

The advance along the wall continued more slowly than preferred, despite Ahnasha's thrashing thrall cutting its way further, resistance was fierce. Janius stepped forward with his shield raised to try and apply more pressure, idly noticing the grit of the ash under his feet. As he swung down on the head of the enemy before him, a Suthay-raht khajiit with a sword and shiled, he was blocked and he tried to push and pull to hook the enemy weapon. The Khajiit mage moved into the periphery of Janius' vision as the bind continued and the lines seemed to step back behind their mages. This left Janius and his opponent out in the open near the left flank, struggling with grit teeth and hoping they didn't get caught in the spells that would be exchanged. Janius was the stronger of the two -- he knew he just needed a few more moments to overcome the swordsman.

It was hard to contribute anything to the fight ahead from where Sabine was. However, when the way was cleared, she took the opportunity to cast an orb of freezing ice in the direction of the enemy. The unyielding ice storm spell would cover many enemies lined up on the wall. In response to seeing the Khajiit mage, Sabine raised a ward. Meesei would probably not need help but Sabine would provide it if needed.

Gallus once again got stuck into the fighting as pace after pace of the courtyard was gained against the garrison. Uthri was the loudest in the line, screaming defiance in the face of the enemy force that killed Irenya. She had discarded her spear and was cutting at enemies left and right with her nordic sword. She managed to get most of her front covered in Khajiit blood before Gallus grabbed her by the scruff of her armour and pulled her back behind the more coherent formation fighting the enemy. What Gallus shouted to Uthri was drowned out by battle to all who were further away than a few yards. Eventually, Uthri stood up with a bowed head and took a moment to compose herself. Gallus took a moment to squeeze her shoulder, but he had to return to command. Uthri found her spear again and got back in line with clearer liquid joining the blood dripping from her face.
