Finally, they are without their indestructable champion who could have crossed the bridge and destroyed the defenders at the gate, and it is unclear who exactly is commanding them.While their land strength still remains significant, with thousands of troops, and wizards, giants, and warbeasts, they are having a great deal of difficulty actually bringing them to bear.The city too has taken serious losses from seige weaponry, missiles, and spells.  In a few parts of the city, fires spread pretty far without being put out, and some still burn.  The mythal provided full fire protection, but it seems that the only part of it that actually works now is the bridge.The invaders in the water try to get away from the elementals.  You notice that battles have been raging at a number of small entry and exit points, water, sewage, and boats, and finally, one enterence is overrun and an unknown number of attackers flood into the sewers before it is resecured.</blockquote>
