>With you

"Ser Cortnay will command, with Ser Darvin leading our infantry. Ser Cletus, you'll lead your men of course, and Carth, you stay with the Engineers, and Ser Nestar will ride with me and the Cavalry."

The knights nod, and Cortnay grins.

"Should be fun. We'll start with a bombardment by the scorpions and the catapult, see if we can't spook them out. If they emerge, the infantry will hold, and the cavalry will sweep them from behind. If they hunker down, the Blacksand infantry will advance with the Turtle, and force an entrance. The Yronwood infantry will follow up, and the cavalry will look to find a different way in, and try to flank them. Everyone, brief your sergeants, and we'll gather when we reach the Roost."

The knights acknowledge their instructions, and move down the column, calling out names. Ser Nestar sidles up closer to you, and clears his throat.

"My lady, I know you want me with you, but I'd ask you put me with the infantry, under Ser Darvins command. I can't really use this" he says, touching the greatsword on his back "from horseback. And I'm more comfortable on foot, I'd love to break the lines with this.."

"Ser Nestar, why don't you like the cavalry? You dismounted yesterday to fight as well, even though you have a longsword."

Ser Nestar taps his fingers on the saddle pommel, before beginning to speak in a quiet voice.

"It's not just that I prefer my greatsword. I was serving as a guard for a Lysene silver convoy, traveling to Myr. Volantis was trying to take the orange coast from Lys at the time, and we came under attack by a group of cataphracts, from Volantis. The other sellswords I was with fled, and I found myself alone against the cataphracts charge. I was trampled, and hearing a cavalry charge, I sometimes freeze up. I'm fine in battle, if I know I'm not being charged, but it's not the best for me..."

"Well, I'll not force you. Report to Ser Darvin, and follow his orders."

Ser Nestar nods thankfully to you, and rides off, moving to where Ser Darvin is speaking with the sergeants of your house Infantry. You move up to the House Penrose cavalry, and introduce yourself, and inspect them. They look less experienced than your cavalry, but seem competent. They are enthused to know Ser Cortnay is commanding, and are keen to undertake their roll as flankers in the battle.

You explain to them that Ser Cortnay wants you to find another way in to Vulture's Roost, once the infantry has engaged, and flank the main battleline, dealing with any supporting units and disrupting the command. The cavalry nod their understanding, and you settle in for the ride to Vulture's Roost.

--------------------
The sun is shining into your eyes as you approach Vulture's Roost. Banners are hanging from the more intact towers, showing a white crowned skull on a black background, declaring allegiance to House Manwoody. Ser Cortnay has the force move past the ruin, and set up west of it, putting the early evening sun at your backs, as the engineers set up 3 scorpions and the catapult. He gathers you and the knights together, and grins.

"We'll need to offer them terms first, but we can make it so ridiculous that they refuse, or we can offer them safe passage back to Kingsgrave, and try to avoid a battle. Who knows, we might get lucky and they'll surrender unconditionally. We'll at least get an idea of their numbers at the parley, since they'll have most of their captains there, to match our numbers. Lady Lissara, this is your land, how should we approach it?"

"I think we'll call for the surrender of their weapons and armour. I've got some other ideas, but that can wait."

Ser Cortnay grins, and the 6 of you walk forward, Ser Darvin holding a banner. You stop 150 yards from the castle walls, and before long, you see a small group of men approaching, carrying a Manwoody banner. As they come closer, you can see 3 men, wearing armour, though one is carrying a crossbow, while the other two are carrying shields on their arm. As they get closer, Ser Cortnay raises his hand, and the two parties stare at each other, 10 yards apart. One of the shield wearing men steps forward.

"I am Ser Gordar Tate, in service of House Manwoody, in command of the ruin of Vulture's Roost, rightful land of House Manwoody, seized a day ago from the invasive and unrightful Lady Blacksand. We understand you are here to discuss terms, Ser?" he says, looking at Ser Cortnay. Ser Cortnay grins, and waves towards you.

"Address the Lady Blacksand, it's her land you invaded."

"No need to repeat yourself, Ser Gordar, I heard you clearly. I am willing to forget this trespass, and allow your men to leave with their lives. However, you will hand over your weapons and armour, and House Manwoody will pay restitution of 1000 dragons for this act of unprovoked aggression. All commanders will be held as prisoners till a proper peace has been established."

A silence falls, broken only by quiet sniggering from Ser Cletus. Ser Gordar glares at you, and spits on the ground.

"That is my answer, Butcher's girl. I'll hang you from the walls for a few days, then we'll see who will be in a place to surrender."

The three men turn, and march away, as Ser Cortnay glares at Ser Cletus.

"That was hardly fitting behavior, Ser Cletus. Even if we are trying to provoke them, we should try to be noble about it."

Ser Cletus shrugs, and the 6 of you return to your lines. The engineers have finished assembling the weapons, and stand ready. The knights move to their units, and Ser Darvin's squire leads his and Ser Nestar's horses to the rear. You sit ready with the cavalry, as Ser Cortnay is handed a set of Myrish lenses by an engineer, and wait as he stares at the wall.

"Crossbowmen in the tower, infantry in the gap in the wall. Not sure how many, but no more than 400 men. Catapult, target the tower, scorpions, target the infantry, soften them up, and keep those crossbowmen's heads down."

Carth raises an arm, and brings it down, and with a creak and several thuds, the engines begin firing. Rocks crash into the tower, and bolts arc towards the clusters of barely visible infantry, as the Blacksand infantry move under the turtle, and prepare to move.

>>2877573

>>2877583

Rolled 3, 2, 1, 6 = 12 (4d6)

>>2877573
The stones smash into the walls, and the bolts land out of sight, but no cries ring out. The engineers look concerned, and begin to adjust the engines, as Carth takes the lenses from his brother, staring at the tower. He waves the scorpions to re-aim. As the turtle begins to crawl forward. They cross distance, and you hear bolts begin to thud into the wood, as Cortnay rides towards you.

"Take the cavalry now, the artillery did poorly so we'll need you to make a serious difference. We can't fire at the infantry anymore, only those Archers."

You lead the cavalry back down the road, safely out of bolt range, and begin to circle around the ruin, looking for large enough gaps in the wall for the cavalry to ride through in numbers.

You and your men stare at the wall, but only see small gaps, barely enough for a single horseman, not enough to allow a proper charge. You hear thuds continuing, but no cries ring out, except the slow chanting of your infantry. Suddenly, Carth's voice breaks the dusk, but you cannot make out his call. You do hear the creak and thuds of the engines firing again, as you ride further on, looking for more gaps in the wall, as you hear the crash of missiles hitting stone...

You catch site of a breach in the walls, a large wide gap, wide enough for at least 5 horsemen to ride through at a time. Even better, you can see the back of an infantry unit, the Manwoody banner flying above them. Several cries of pain ring out, and a loud crash reaches your ears, sounding like a small avalanche. A loud battlecry follows, clearly from Ser Nestar, and it is taken up by more voices.

"BLACKSANDS, BLACK HEARTS! CHARGE!!!!"

You hear the clashing of steel, and the sound of battle being joined. The infantry unit you can see raises their shields, and begin to move forward, but do not look like they have been engaged yet.

You thunder through the breach in the wall, the cavalry's spears lowering, and you slam into the rear of the Manwoody Infantry. You drive deep into the ranks of them, scattering them before you, as you hear Ser Gordar's voice calling out for them to rally. You can see him, standing holding the Manwoody banner, his voice cutting through the clamour of battle. Beyond him, you can see Ser Nestar behind the front line of another unit of infantry, swinging his greatsword in huge arcs, as infantrymen try to dart forward, and stab at him, but most of their blows skate off his armour. Your infantry are pressing, trying to join him, and you see Ser Darvin smashing his longax onto the shields of the Manwoody infantry. Up in the tower, you can see several pieces of masonry have fallen, and crossbowmen are huddled against the wall, trying to reload, glancing towards where the rest of your forces are.

>The Cavalry will attack the infantry on their own, but may be rallied by Ser Gordar.

No it is based on his armour, not his stats or your action. It's a TN9 to remove it, but you need 2 degrees to hurt him, and even then, it only deals 4 damage. Removing impale weapons works best with warlances, where the damage is Anuimal Handling +4, not Athletics+1

>>2877963
but why let go of the spear in the first place then? Just stab and pull back.

>>2877968
Can we use our spear and shield to finis him off?

>>2877970
Issue is, its stuck in his armour. Either you let go and try to put another one in him, or you wrestle with it and maybe do some more damage. You are using a huge spear here, its not some agile little thing.

>>2877970
Because that's not how the rules work.

If combat was a more narrative affair I would try to intentionally snap the tip off so he'd have the head stuck in his body and nothing he could grab at with his gauntlets. Or you know, aim for the head or throat. But it's all about dice and QM has to write around the results and make a setup that will allow the next round to make sense. It's not always going to be smart or cinematic

Sliding down the side of your horse, you walk over to infront of him, where he is slowly breathing. You kick your spear up into your hand, and spin it around your body, before extending it to his throat. You tilt your head to the side, and look at him, as his eyes raise to meet yours.

"Ser Gordar, I call for your surrender. Of you and your men."

He looks like he is going to lunge for you, before his head falls forward, and he slumps.

"I yield. I yield."

With that, he slumps on his side, gasping in pain. You remount, and turn to see how the rest of the battle is progressing...

The Yronwood infantry has rushed up, and with their support, your infantry has broken through, and Ser Darvin and Ser Nestar are standing over the broken body of the other knight commander you met, while your cavalry are scattering the infantry you charged. Swords are dropped, and the archers are throwing their crossbows down from the tower, calling out their surrender. The commander of the crossbowmen throws his helmet down, along with the Manwoody flag that was flying from the tower. It appears you are victorious!

Ser Cortnay walks slowly into the ruin, followed by the engineers and Carth. He looks around, and at the grins of your infantry. He sees Ser Gordar, who is being slowly lifted up, and at your men who are gathering the crossbows up. Two of the engineers begin removing the spears, only causing a small amount of extra damage.
>Ser Gordar takes an injury!

"Well, Lady Lissara, you've done well for yourself. Good charge, and once the engineers fixed their aim, those archers didn't last long."

Carth grins.
"They claimed it was because we provided "New rope" so it was too taught for their calculations. I pointed out it simply meant they'd be more powerful, and they mumbled and shut up."

Carth looks at Ser Gordan, and at the three huge holes in him, raising his eyebrows.
"He may be our enemy, but goddamn the man is tough..."

Nodding, you return his sword to him, to which he nods in thanks, reluctantly. The captain of Archers has his sword returned as well, as he mounts a riding horse, and moves behind the Penrose Cavalry. Seeing him do this, Ser Cortnay walks over to you, a somewhat apologetic look on his face.

"I hate to do this, but since it was my artillery that forced him to cower and surrender, I'd like to claim his ransom. You can keep Ser Gordar, he's yours by rights, but the archer captain, I'd like to claim him. And don't try to argue Carth did it, because I was next to him the whole time, and I was in charge of this whole thing."

Carth rolls his eyes and looks at you...

"Of course, Ser Cortnay. Now, shall we encamp? I doubt Ser Gordar can be moved tonight, and we all need to rest."

Ser Cortnay bows to you, and your men begin to make camp. Fortunately, there are plenty of supplies and tents left by the Manwoody soldiers. Ser Gordar is silent, eating slowly and in pain. The next day dawns, and the force packs up, and returns to Shadowpeak, and when you arrive back, you find it as you left it, with Ser Ascar watching from the walls, and Elia, Calrin and Cerran running out to meet you as you and Carth dismount. Hugging your children, you introduce them to Ser Cortnay, who is seemingly surprised by the number of children, glancing at Carth as Elia curtsies, and Calrin asks how big Storms End is.

If next time we fight is a pitched field battle where he wishes us luck, then he can sit in a room.

We can make the cell comfortable. He can have cushions, candles and good food.

If our maester says the cells are too unhygienic and may risk him getting infections I'll change my mind but not before.

Ser Gordar is placed in a cell, and you and the knights retire to the main hall, where you all raise a goblet of wine to your victory. Maester Borrel spends some time checking the supplies brought back from the battle, and brings you a list, showing you that you captured nearly a full unit's worth of crossbows, and several dozen sets of armour and swords.

>Gain 1 Power

Maester Borrel does ask you if you want Ser Gordar to be treated, or if you plan to leave him alone in the cell till he is ransomed.

lmao why, even if you hate him, he's worth money in ransom.

>>2879972
>Allow Maester Borrel to treat Ser Gordar (He will be more comfortable and be healthy)
Hate him all you want. He's worth money until further notice. Chain him up first so he doesn't get any ideas.

>>2879978
I really don't think he will escape, though surely chaining him up is only right. No matter how strong he is, he took 3 boar spears to the chest.

>>2879972

"Maester Borrel, do treat him. He may have been rude to me, but that's no reason to throw away a good ransom."

Maester Borrel bows, and hurries away, heading to collect his Maesters kit. Spirits are high in the hall, with Ser Ascar being told the tale of the battle by Ser Cletus, Ser Darvin and Ser Nestar, while Carth and Ser Cortnay argue over some small story from their childhood. After throwing his hands up, Carth turns to you.

"What are you planning to do now? The Cavalry will need time to recover, and I'm not certain the cavalry from my Father will be impressive or dangerous enough to keep you safe. I know the children would appreciate some time with you, they've not spent more than a few hours with you for several weeks. We're ramping up to a fight now, me and Cortnay can go to House Selmy and House Dondarrion, we'll do better anyway, given our heritage. Take some time for yourself, spend some time with the twins and Elia, and get ready for the battles to come."

The next few days pass without too much incident, though far quicker than you would have liked. You rode with Elia down to the port and back, her sitting in-front of you as you control the horse, Jelissa does a shadow puppet show for you and the children, and begins to teach Elia how to braid her hair, and the twins are given two wooden swords and shields from Ser Cortnay, before he leaves with Carth to go to Harvest Hall. Ser Ascar shows them some very basic swings, and they dedicate about half a day to trying to do the move, before they decide hitting the other's shield as hard as possible is far more fun. It has been 5 days when you are called to the wall. A pair of riders are standing outside the gate, bearing both a white banner and the banner of House Manwoody.

"Lady Lissara Blacksand, sometimes called the Butcher's Daughter, I am Ser Myles Manwoody, brother of Lord Dagos Manwoody, here to negotiate the ransoming of Ser Gordar Tate and Ser Kalt Ardun, House Manwoody's knights. We are willing to provide a ransom of 600 dragons for each of them, upon proof of their survival and well-being."

"Ser Kalt is the prisoner of Ser Cortnay, who is not here, so I can only negotiate for Ser Gordar, who was heavily injured in the battle."

"Have Ser Kalt join you, and confirm this, and we'll enter negotiations."

>Agree, summon Ser Kalt to confirm Ser Gordar's survival, and begin the ransoming process? (Negotiating, haggling etc?)

"No, we'll ransom Ser Gordar after the fighting is over. We'll send for Ser Kalt so you can see they are alive and well, and by all means, stay here till Ser Cortnay arrives, if he wishes to negotiate, but we will not be releasing Ser Gordar till the conflict is over."

Ser Myles frowns under his helmet, and then seems to sigh.
"Fine. Send for Ser Kalt. At least this will allow him to recover more."

You send a guard off, and he returns with Ser Kalt in turn. Ser Kalt raises a hand to Ser Myles, and calls down to him.

"Ser Myles, they came with siege and we failed to ambush her on the road. I apologise for our failiure. Ser Gordar is in a cell, though mainly due to him threatening to hand Lady Lissara from the walls of Vulture's Roost, and he's being treated for having 3 great-spears thrust through him."

Ser Myles visibly winces at the description of Ser Gordar's wounds, and shakes his head.

"I'll not stay while we are at war, not only do I have other duties, but it might raises awkward questions with out allies, if I'm staying with the enemy. We'll discuss the ransom as pat of your surrender, my Lady!" he calls out with a slightly humorous tone, before turning, and riding away. Ser Kalt is led back inside, and you return to your day.

Right this is just a difference in play style. My games, no one belonging to a noble family is lower than Status 3, so children will always incur an influence cost. The thought process coming from picture related where the lowest nobility is status 3. So yeah, just a difference in how people see the rules. Corebook loves to do nonsense like that.

That being said being Status 5 is definitely of value regardless so...

Well there should a point after having a certain amount of children that the rest can be free. Because limiting children is stupid. Only major noble houses can afford having more than 3 children and that's certainly not realistic nor true to the books.

>>2880228
You have 1 power's worth of stuff from what you got. Its all worse than what your infantry have. You also have 1 free Marksmanship damage upgrade for Archers, if you get them. Neither of the infantry units were upgraded, only the archer unit was.

>Brothels (Resource Gain Bonus: Wealth +2. However, all Influence Resource decreases due to a House Fortunes roll are increased by 1)

I have made a mistake. Your market is not yet build, nor is your saltworks, so you do not gain 5 wealth, you only gain 1. This means you would have had 4 wealth available, after paying the loan.

>Next session at 1900 BST Wednesday. See you all then.

Sorry this session was more adminy, but if I have to have a shorter session, that's when I'll try to do most of the admin.

As a personal note, scorpions are really fun with a warfare focused character. My GM in my ASOIAFRPG real life game refuses to allow me to have them after I sniped out 4 enemy commanders in a large battle before the sides actually clashed.

Carth and Cortnay return a few days after Ser Myles had visited, and are somewhat put out as they arrive. Carth brings you and Ser Cortnay to the Solar, and informs you that House Selmy has made it clear they will not be aiding any dispute outside of the Stormlands.

"House Selmy is not feeling too secure in aiding anyone. Barristan Selmy may have been forgiven, but they are still uncertain about acting out of turn. We were swaying them, but then this arrived." He shows you a scroll, marked with a falcon and a hand. "The Hand has caught wind of this little dispute. He's made it clear that any Stormlands house that interferes will not be protected, either by the king or by Storms End against any reprisals that may arise, except for House Penrose, due to marriage connections. It's not stated, but it's clear that Jon Arryn is not best pleased with this, and I'm not surprised. It took him a year to get Prince Doran to bend the knee, and this kicks up all sorts of contentions."

Ser Cortnay shakes his head, and drums his fingers on the table.

"House Dondarrion are not going to join in war, not with a young, unmarried heir, and an ailing lord. Adding the disapproval of the mentor of the man they followed into rebellion, and they'll host us for a night, and ask us to leave, at best. House Caron might throw everything to the wind, and join anyway, but they'll not join out of the goodness of their hearts. They'll want something. And whatever they want, you'll end up paying it, or they'll probably switch sides just to spite us, Lord Caron is a bitter man. Before, you could have played on his temper, and brought him in with old grudges, but now, the price might be too high. Snubbing him would make you better viewed in Dorne, you could even deny ever approaching him, and most Dornishmen would see you as more Dornish. House Caron's been calling themselves the Lord of the Marches for centuries, and they've been the most active in border raiding. It comes to a balance of if he'd be useful, as opposed to whatever he wants and the ill will of Dorne."

>Decide to skip House Caron? (Better viewed by Dorne, Jon Arryns letter gives them a strong negotiation position)
>Decide to go to House Caron? (Not liked by Dorne, but they'll be willing to fight, albeit at a price)
>Write in...

Aren't the Carons supposed to be our allies, at least that's what the character sheet says

>>2881744
They like you, it's not a formal alliance. (More specifically, they liked your father). That was me trying to represent who is positive towards you.

Is there still time to hire mercs from Essos? If not I'll vote to visit house Caron. Our forces are not large enough.

>>2881769
Mercs cost a mix of power and wealth, you have 2 power free, so you can hire some Green Mercs, for 2 power and 1 wealth. This is because power represents your ability to feed and house the units as well as the units themselves

>>2881772
Green troops are absolutely dogshit

Perhaps we should petition the King directly since the Hand has chosen to intercede on the matter?

Frankly I was of the impression the local only vote meant only dornish houses in the first place so...

"We'll skip House Caron. I'm happy to risk the displeasure of my neighbours, but I'm not going to let him hold me over a barrel for something he wants to do. And paying him to do it? It sticks in my throat. We'll make do with what we have. Let's review our forces."

Carth brings out a roll of parchement, and spreads it out, weighing it down with an inkpot and a goblet.

>HOUSE BLACKSAND
>Elite Infantry
>Veteran Cavalry
>Veteran Garrison
>Veteran Scouts
>1 Scorpion Teams

HOUSE PENROSE
>Trained Cavalry
>Elite Engineers
>1 Catapult
>1 Scorpion Team

HOUSE DAYNE

"Our forces should be better trained, we already damaged House Manwoody, but I feel we will be outnumbered. But if we can force a battle, at a point of our choosing? Our siege engines should be useful, assuming the engineers fire correctly this time."

Cortnay rolls his eyes, and tuts.
"Leave them alone Carth, they already admitted they made a mistake. As far as where to fight? We need somewhere we can arrange our siege engines, and flat land for our cavalry. That is in short supply in the Red Mountains. Only three places I can think of."

Cortnay points to a map of the Marches, tapping the black line of the Boneway
"The Boneway. I can't imagine House Yronwood being too happy with us. However, it's got everything we need. We can split their forces, defend with one hand while striking with the other, before they can unify, and co-ordinate."
He points to a thinner black line.
"The road to Wyl. We end up between the two, flanked, and defensive, but they don't get to unify, and House Yronwood don't get angry at us. And if Wyl can't communicate with Manwoody, they might think we are laying siege, and pull back behind their defenses."
He then taps the road to Kingsgrave.
"Better position than Wyl, but the two will be able to attack us, and possibly link up, since Manwoody know the back routes and roads so might be able to steal a march on us. So, where do we plan to fight, and when do we march? Waiting a week will allow us to organise more, group up, allow Ser Gerold to make himself ready. But if we go the moment he arrives? We'll be in a better position."

>Where?
>Boneway? (Best for you, you can avoid their forces, not be trapped, and concentrate force on the two forces one at a time. House Yronwood will be pissed off)
>Road to Wyl? (Potentially worse position, you will end up trapped between House Manwoody and Castle Wyl. However, House Wyl may not sally out)
>Road to Manwoody? (Decent position, but House Manwoody may be able to flank you)

>When? (Ser Gerold is expected in a few days)
>A week after Ser Gerold arrives? (Gerold will be properly in the army)
>When Ser Gerold arrives? (You may could get in a better position, and possibly catch the enemy off guard)

Yronwood can be charmed and persuaded to forgive us. All the other options are extremely dangerous for an outnumbered force.
