ArchmageM!Dragonborn + Ulfric Stormcloak. Pushing things too far.

[(Anonymous)]

The Dragonborn saved Tamriel from Alduin and then went to the College of Winterhold, wanting nothing to do with the Civil War. Frankly both sides are idiots and if they want to massacre each other and get all the stupidity out of the gene pool then so much the better.

General Tullius has sent a couple of couriers on occasion but they always return weak and trembling with letters filled with some of the most venomous language ever penned. The Dragonborn is still holding onto a grudge for that redguard bitch of a captain ordering his death. Tullius wisely gives up on recruiting the dragonborn.

Unfortunately Ulfric Stormcloak has a bee in his bonnet about being high king, and he refuses to stop soliciting the Dragonborns aid. His gifts of coin and gems are returned with polite letters of refusal, magickal items dating from Ysgramors time are returned after being carefully catalogued and the enchantments duplicated, and the weapons he has custom forged are usually sent back enchanted with an irritable Dremora bound to them for a day who tells Ulfric to stop bloody pestering my master.

No one accused Ulfric of having good sense though and he marches an army on Winterhold, perhaps force will work, or a threat to burn down the College.

Which is the absolute worst thing he could have done, as he finds out when the Dragonborn uses call storm/call dragon/multiple summons/the ritual/invisible sniping destruction mages/ magickal destruction macguffin of your choice to obliterate the stormcloak army before he slits Ulfric's throat and pointedly tells the survivors that that is enough, and he's going back to his research, so keep the damn noise down.

I never did the civil war plot with my DB for just this reason--he retires to run the college since once side is hip-deep in Thalmor and the other would throw him out/try to kill him for not being Nord, so even though supporting a side would possibly end the war and save lives in the long term, he doesn't.

I want to do this, but I've got to figure out how one would go about assaulting the mages college... since there's just the one tiny little bridge to get up to it.

Mass siege weaponry (probably made at the site because it is pretty heavily wooded nearby if I remember correctly) and war of attrition them in to Oblivion. Literally. I don't believe they have any real way to get food magically (Alteration, maybe?) so after a while the Dragonborn would have to surrender if for on other reason than to keep his people from starving to death. If he doesn't surrender than he's going to have a serious problem because the mages will be straining to maintain whatever defenses they have from near constant bombardment, which will leave them weakened when you do decide to march across the bridge. It is still possible that they could turn that strip of stone in to a massive meat grinder but not one so bad that you couldn't get inside. Once you do that and get them in melee...yeah, they're teachers and students, not soldiers.

I figure Ulfric would view this as cowardly, though, and just charge the bridge with him at the forefront because, 'what the hell are a bunch of soft-footed Daedra worshipers gonna do?'. He may have some limited siege thrown in for good measures, but certainly not to the degree that he would need for success. He strikes me as more of a foot soldier slog type than mechanized, judging from the sieges you see in the game.
