For Hjergir and his warriors, the approach to attacking the tower was far more straightforward compared to the Dominion troops. Without hesitation, they charged in to deal with the Daedra holding the outside of the tower head-on. At least from what they could see from the outside, it seemed like the tower’s garrison was entirely Skaafin, so the fighting would be more familiar than when the Daedra had larger beasts among them. Still, Hjergir’s charge was not disorganized. They moved forward in ranks, overlapping their shields to protect against arrows from the top of the tower. The Khajiit cavalry, meanwhile, moved to the flanks. The tower was set in between jagged rocks on three sides, but they could still search for opportunities to deal some damage. 

As planned, Sabine’s portal came well after the rest of their forces had started their assault, and the pack had to move quickly to take advantage of their element of surprise. Meesei was the first through, though the rest of he pack did not delay in following through after her. It was a short fall from the portal to the top of the tower. Meesei was prepared for it, though the sound of her feet hitting the stone, and the clanging of her dragonbone armor immediately grabbed the attention of the Skaafin at the top of the tower. 

The top of the tower was a circular, mostly empty space, apart from the entrance to the stairway leading down, and a pedestal with a slightly glowing orb on top of it on the side of the tower closest to the valley. As for the Skaafin, all that remained at top once the attack had began below were the archers firing down through the arrow slits. There were eight of them, all lightly armed and lightly armored, who were clearly alarmed by the sudden arrival of a werewolf pack in close range.

Ri’vashi nodded. “Very well, Ri’vashi will send a detachment forward, have them engage the enemy, then be ‘routed’ back to a seemingly weakened portion of our lines. It will be close enough to the center, so…Khajiit supposes we shall see if Hal-Neesa truly has the power she claims to wield.”
