Having installed their archers around the ramp leading to the upper plateau of the city, the party formed a line and engaged the monsters hoping to draw them into their kill zone away from the fray in order to allow the keep's defenders to get a foothold on the wall. At first the heroes took the upper hand, cutting down yeti and winter wolf alike trying to stop the frost giants from battering down the gate to the keep. Then the air elementals started to break off from suppressing the resistance on the walls to join the fray below. At point the party's battle line fell apart and the party's carefully laid plans soon went to hell as the the sheer number and speed of the attackers overwhelmed the heroes.
The party fought on bravely as more of the air elementals joined the fight, and the keeps archers were able to fight off the remaining flyers and take hold of the walls. Unable to withstand the vicious assault of the air elementals, the villagers had to fall back and the party was soon surrounded and nearing exhaustion. Just when it looked like hope was fading, the gates of the keep flung open and a column of mounted northmen rode out under the banner of Jarl Steinolfsson to sweep the remaining enemies from the field.
