Aerie winced when Graham was ushered unsteadily off the field. Marina looked after him, eyes wide in worry. "He'll be okay, won't he?" she questioned tremulously, craning her neck to keep him within sight.
"He'll be fine," Aerie assured distractedly, her eyes seeking two different people on the field. "He got no more he deserved for being an idiot the majority of his life." Marina stared at her with reproach, and Aerie felt herself shrug almost contritely.

ooc: Just a thought to everyone, do you all want to encorporate the scenery into the melee. Where is the Red Team, and what position is the Green Team charging at?

ooc: It seems to already be a free-for-all so far as I can tell.

Not really, I see more, "So and So moves with their team, fighting whoever they are fighting, but trying not to harm their friends."

The Red teams charge carries them over the bridge and they near the Green sides keep. With precise, vicious fury, Randal hammers his sword into Seth Greyjoy, and follows up by knocking the Knight of the Bells uncouncious. Fury and grief leading him, he raises his sword and gives a mighty war cry, leading the charge into the next line of defenders.

Aerie flinched when Seth came down from a particularly vicious blow from Lord Randal, fingers twitching when they considered how they would have responded to the Lannister's press. "Oh, Lord Seth has fallen," Marina commented before her eyes drifted to those remaining. "Prince Andry is so very gallant," she sighed dreamily. "He is rather lovely to look at as well..." Aerie wasn't sure if the girl was speaking to herself or addressing one of them. She chose to ignore Marina's disconcerting behavior, but Alyssa snorted knowingly. Marina did not seem to notice, so busy was she fluttering her eyes at Prince Andry.

Tallahar stands and sees many men go down. Tallahar on the other hand breaks out into the Song 'Tallahar Charges' Singing it rather badly but with Blood lust rushing through everyone not to many people notice.

Ser Torn and Ser Gilbert stumbled off the field together, bested, but not displeased with the performance.

Randal, possesed by a urge for vengance and seeking an outlet for his grief, charges forward, leading a large portion of the Red unit into battle. The two sides meet, and the fighting is ferocious, Randal smashs himself into the hedge knight he was speaking with earlier. Letting his emotions run wild and take control of him, Randal lashes out and catches him with his sword, knocking him to the ground, but he is swamped by blows from all sides and is caught from multiple directions, by the Prince, his brother-in-law, and Timm Dayne. Knocked to the ground, he tries to rise, but a sword to the head knocks him over.

Aerie continued to watch Warren's progress anxiously, a truimphant twist lifting the corners of her lips when Lord Randal fell. That one could no longer cause problems now.
Marina emmitted a gasp of horror when Prince Andry was almost brought down by a Dornishman, but she sighed in relief when another fighter threw himself upon the danger. She switched to Lord Jon Royce, trailing his movements with eager brown eyes. Jon performed flawlessly, and Aerie could feel the indecision seizing Marina, who paused in her survey.
"Prince Andry is very gallant, but Lord Jon is quite admirable as well," she declared, a vague uncertainty in her sweet voice.
Aerie rolled her eyes while Alyssa patted Marina's shoulder sympathetically. "I know what you mean," Alyssa said to the girl with a wink.

Jonas helped the other knights withstand his brother in laws charge, but even when Randal fell the others advanced, and Jonas barely stayed a step ahead, batting aside blades and occasionally returning strikes. As the battle raged on, he found himself shoulder to shoulder with Prince Andry.

Jonas, struggling to keep up with the tides of the melee, is pushed back in another Red team surge, this time pushing the majority of the Green Forces back to the walls of their keep. Within moments, Jonas is knocked to the ground by a strike from Tallahar Tyrell, and rises very slowly afterwards.
Others continue to fall, and the fighting is thick and fast. Most show no mercy, and many on the Green Team falter and fall. Alliances begin to break, as men desperatly try to fight their way free.

It was getting very close, but Warren showed no signs of tiring. Instead, he performed marvelously, outshining even Jon in a moment of pure skill and strategy. Dayne displayed the same prowess, and Aerie knew he would be the one that posed the greatest challenge.
Beside her, Marina let out a cry of disappointment: Prince Andry had been ousted by his betters. "He fought valiantly," she asserted woefully. With a tearful sigh, she abandoned him and fastened her full attentions to Jon Royce, who was still among the struggling mass. "He's infalliable," Marina whispered, watching intently, a wistful expression on her pretty, youthful face.

The Green side, after being pushed back, somehow has their spirits lifted. Charging like madmen, the hack and slash their way to freedom. A lone man falls for Green, but a pair fall for Red. Shouts of 'Never Stop' and 'Keep fighting' ring out along with the clash of steel. Red begins to be forced back step by step, but they manage to hang in there, the legendary skills of Tallahar Tyrell giving the entire side stregnth. With Tallahar at the helm, they once again charge, and manage to draw level, near the door to the keep.

Aerie's confidence grew when Warren continued to fight admirably. Now men broke into pairs while Warren and Gower bided their time. If they were lucky, Dayne and Tyrell would finish each other off and leave a less hostile field.
Marina clung to the edge of her seat when Jon managed to survive yet another round and faced his new opponent. "Lord Jon will defeat him," she announced with deep conviction as she looked after him fondly.
