Yoren was right. He does 6 Damage per DoS: 4 Athletics, +1 Mace, +1 Weapon Mastery.

EDIT: Also, interesting fact I just noticed: Aim does nothing if you use LBF1: LBF1 you sacrifice all bonus dice, not just those from your specialization. Also makes it a bad choice to use on horseback.

Ahh weapon mastery. I have got to slow down and look things over better. Thanks Baelon.

As for the all I would only take it to mean all long blade bonus dice. Not that it matters here. It's still 4DoS with CD 1. Might want Reader to rule on this for future reference though.

With a twitching motion Erryk ceases to resist and goes limp. A shocked sout cones from the clansmen as their champion is defeated.

A great cheer goes up from the allied houses, but from the Marsten bannermen in particular. Feats of arms will do much to quell doubts over Lady Corrine's unconventional choice of groom.

Ben pulls his blade free of Erryk's body. The body twitches and his life blood pours forth(death). Ben's stands and removes a red cloth from his tabard and wipes his blade clean. His fire filled eyes glare at the enemy commanders but his voice addresses the gathered army behind them.

"
We offered quarter and aid to the clansmen survivors because they fought for their claim to this land and their children's future! You men have no claim here, to land, monies, or people! You will receive NO QUARTER!"

Ben signals his squire Willum. He hands the boy the red cloth. "
Have this flown from our standard so those who did not hear my words may see their future."

The blood would shirk a meeker boy.

Willum Royce is made of sterner stuff. He nods solemnly and takes up the bloody trophy.

The cheer only intensifies as the emblem is lashed to the Marsten standards.

Alright, I wasn't going to volunteer due to time constraints, but slow progress is better than no progress.

However, I am going to veto that unit placement. Seriously, no commander is going to position their forces in the middle of an open field nowhere near the only bridge crossing the river. That is ridiculously unsound tactically. Not to mention letting your troops get that close without attacking. I don't think so. With that map, the enemy units would be approaching from the west, not the south. Probably more centered on the bridge, but I'm not going to make you redo the map completely... also, you placed the units in the middle, not on the side like the rulebook specifies.

Also, weren't the Golden Arrows in the clan war (Battle below Bull's Peak)? Is this a different unit of archers?

by **Benedict Marsten** Wed Oct 14, 2015 3:55 am

Place them where ever you like. Our hopes were to speed things up and keep their archers protected by infantry. According to the post vs. the champion the armies were gathered across the field while the commanders parlayed. There is no key compass to indicate north. I know logically one would assume north is up. Why would we have let them get close to the bridge? If you want I will pull the archers onto the field. We can move them all back to the edges that is fine. Like I said it was partially due to prior narration and for expediency.

Reader gave the ok to use one unit from the clan battle.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Oct 14, 2015 4:18 am

I was using "
west"
and "
east"
as designations of sides of the map, not in any absolute geographic sense.

If you pull your troops back to a side, I will deploy to the opposite side;
it won't take long I already have various options in mind.

The left (or bottom) side would entail your opponents coming out of Hartsbridge... the top side (or right side, if you wanted) makes more sense.
Placement is on the map below. Just need your commander/hero attachments and initiative and we can get going properly.

Ben curses at the fate of the archers and his ill-advised placement. Knowing now they would have to take the battle to them he orders the Marsten Garrison forward into an almost certain doom.

The garrison crashes into the well trained infantry causing a few casualties.
