=== Days 1-3 ===
The Dragonborn spent three days constructing catapults and siege towers with archers continually pelted the ramparts with arrows. On the fourth day the attack began with the defenders knocking down most of the siege towers using ballista. Some siege towers did reach the walls, but the Town guard were able to hold them off while sustaining some losses as well. At the same time, the Dragonborn attempted to break the gate with a wooden battering ram, but it had no effect. 
=== Day 4 ===
The next day the Dragonborn made a second attempt with a metal battering ram which broke through the city's gate. Around 1240 soldiers were able to hold the entrance for two days before being pushed back, a mounted household guard counterattack forced the enemy back before raiding the camp, destroying much of the Dragonborn's food supply. 
=== Days 5-6 ===
Unknown to both Greystone and the Dragonborn, reinforcements were coming: volunteers from Ilia as well as the Knights of Temré, commanded by Lord Wayne of Horn Hill and Lord Simon of House Mortin. Hearing of the fall of Inara, Lord Wayne decided retake the Castle from the dragonborn with 10,000 men, as it was positioned alongside the main supply route for evey dragon born army west of "the steppe". Lord Simon Mortin ordered his scouts to hunt down the dragonborn foraging parties. having to spread their foraging out so far out the news of the enemy reinforcements took three days to reach the main force, apron hearing of the enemies heading their way decided to pull back rather than be surrounded and destroyed.
