Re: House Marsten Event - Loyal only to Coin

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Glory only grants a bonus dice, I dont think we can use them on the unit progression roll

roll on p189's table after the battle to determine the unit's fate.

1/6 chance they're fully intact (you can use glory to reroll this, or just reinvest glory earned from the battle to train a new unit).

"
Bold, but foolish. Drop the mountain on their heads!"

The drums sound, and the infantry on the mountain above the Marsten Garrison use sledges to drive wedges set into the rock face, causing a rockslide to fall upon the heads of Lady Dyana and the Marsten Garrison. However, the rockslide is much smaller than expected and only a few rocks actually manage to strike the Marsten forces, causing little harm.
Jon Oakshield glowers at the ineffectiveness of his trap.

[url=Attack Marsten Garrison (with mountain elevation)][/url]: 5d6k3 8 1 DoS, 4 - 3AR = 1 damage

[OOC: The rockslide bit was just descriptive, it was mechanically a standard attack. Lucky that those rolls were not reversed!]

Oh nice, that's about the best use for glory after investment in resources

[Benedict Marsten]

Ben nods solemly to Ser Kevan and raises and drops his arm sending Byron's Guard at the infantry barring access to the mercenaries archers.

[Kevan Lyras]

While the mercenaries are adjusting from the attack from Byron's guard, the Red Swords of House Kriegar sprint forwards closing the distance between them and the enemy. Shortly afterwards, Ser Kevan's booming voice can be heard all the way to Hartsbridge "
Red Swords, chaaarge!"
The guards prove that their are best trained soldiers on the field and attack viciously. "
Dont hold back, hit these bastards"
, the Marsten's Master-at-Arms adds as the Red Swords keep attacking the riders.

No rolling warfare on the first two orders, as the TN is 0 and 3 respectively

Time for round two, Baelon and Ben to take over

[Baelon Drakeson]

[OOC: What round 2? You just routed the commander off the field - the mercs have no leadership and will break and run. The only question is whether you let them go or chase them down.]

[Kevan Lyras]

Damnit, thats now the second battle in a row where I failed to see when the commander is routed;
-)

[Benedict Marsten]

(ooc: as much as I would love to agree, I don't think they are routed off the field. We would have to do twice their max health(24). If I win the initiative then yes it is as good as over. The units would need to make will checks(TN 12) once he is routed off the field. Unless you count the damage before AR then yes they are routed off the field.)

[Ser Jorah Holt]

ooc
If a unit is attacked while disorganised, then it becomes routed

[Benedict Marsten]

(ooc: I forget routed always implies the mob fleeing. That section is worded by Green Ronins finest illiterate. So yes routed off the field I guess. . Thank you for making me re-read that suit for the umpteenth time.)

[Benedict Marsten]

(ooc: Baelon do you want to attempt the will checks and finish the battle or call it a surrender?)

[Baelon Drakeson]

Well, they have no commander, so you would auto-win initiative. I am assuming you would probably destroy the archers now that they are exposed. That leaves the two infantry units, who have a 35 in 36 chance of being disorganized, so I would call for a surrender, which, with no commander, auto fails and they would rout. Do we need to roll it out?

[Reader]

Raise the white flag, they're mercenaries, not fanatics.

[Benedict Marsten]

(ooc: First off I want to say thank you. For your help with the battle and mainly for making me literally laugh out loud with you summary. Will take the victory as spelled out in said summary no need to roll.)

Ben calls in the rest of his forces to field. With no commander they make short work of the remaining forces. The Marsten hosts gather up any and all survivors. True to his, no quarter, word each man is offered to take the black or executed.

Ben orders the mercenaries books and ledgers found. Each man is accounted for. A small group of Marsten and bannerman men are charged with finding any men on the list who escaped.

Lord Marsten stands before his bannerman and own troops, with a somber look. "
Let it be known that House Marsten, and its fierce bannerman will not be triffled with. We have beat back the very mountains that house our people. We have now crushed the armies of coin who come to plunder our place, our people, "
he sweeps his hand around him in a circle. "
OUR PRIZE!"

There will be some adjustments by glory or DP coming.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

How many of those will be wiped out if we don't reroll?

[Kevan Lyras]

Without adjustments:
Golden arrows survival roll - destroyed: 1d6 3 -->

Marsten Garrison survival roll - damaged: 1d6 6 -->
+1 training
Byron's watch survival roll - ok: 1d6 1 -->

House guard survival roll - ok: 1d6 5 -->

Tower guard survival roll - ok: 1d6 2 -->

Red swords survival roll - ok: 1d6 3 -->

I'd suggest we spend glory to reroll Byron's Watch and the Golden arrows

You're free to divide glory from this one as you choose, it's less of a "
grand alliance beneath Marsten banners"
affair.
