Okay, Randal has eighty billion men (well, not quite, lets say he has a thousand within half a minute, and around six hundred with bow range. If the fight lasts any longer, literally the city guard (roughly a thousand) as well as Randal's personal army (another thousand) may get involved. And how exactly could four hundred Boltons sneak into Horas' camp? Oh, yeah, about who's side Randal is on. All of Randal's men attack the Boltons first, attempting to capture Bolton leaders and any other notables that they see. Others are fair game to kill. They are wary of betrayal, and if Horas' men attack them, they will not hesitate to strike back, but they will not engage the Hand's men otherwise. Randal is Grandmaster, and will be fighting defensively, he has a few (dunno how many that is) bodyguards, but he rarely goes without around twentyfive near him, so they would be right outside the tent. Jonas Westerling (expert) will be among them, and should the fight turn into a full blown battle, Justin Prestor would likely command the majoraty of the Western forces. The city-guard dont patrol the Tourney Ground I'm sure |

I really don't think that it matters at this point Sargon.

No, but there are guards who patrol the tourney grounds, what shall I call them, Tourney Guards.

Setup
There is a tent with Horas, two Blackwood guards, Randal and Lyas, and his two dogs, in it.
The tent is in Horas camp of roughly 500 men. Mostly nobles and attentdents, but they all know how to fight.
100 of Lyas' men are scattered about Horas tent, disguised but armed as heavily as possible.
400 men under Morax are moving towards the the Hand's encampment.
Tytos is leading 300 hundred against a nearly empty Bolton encampment.
Thousands of Lannister men surrond them and will move into attack as soon as the fighting starts. There will be some confusion on their parts, but the word will quickly spread to attack Bolton men.
If I have stated anything wrong reply now. I am begining to roll and write this up now.

Randal has twenty five bodyguards who know how to fight in Horas' encampment. (aka: right outside)

Ser Alexius Blackwood and the House Dondarrion camp are nearby. Alexius will rush towards the fight with a dozen Dondarrion men when it breaks out. Alexius is an expert in swordsmanship and halfway to master.

The Tent
Horas men move forward but both of his dogs attack. One blackwood guard falls as the dog knocks him over. The other Guard begins to hack the his canine assaliant to death. Randal steps up and dispatchs the other dog.
Lyas fires one shot with his crossbow before running from the tent. The bolt pierces Horas' shoulder and he falls to the ground. In shock Horas is attended to by his wounded guards men, Randal leads the other guard in pursuit.

The Hand's Encampment
The fighting has already started as Lyas runs into the light. His men did not achieve the surprise he had hoped for, but they are sill putting up a good fight. Lyas quickly realizes that his horse is too well guarded and begins to run through the combat. Twice he kills a Blackwood man but he always keeps moving.
Randal Lannister runs into the light and sees the pitch battle being fought about him, and is surprised to see how well the Northmen are faring. Far more Blackwood men lie on the ground then their Bolton opponents. Lord Lannister's eye track the path of Lord Bolton but before he can follow four Bolton men are engaging Randal and his guard. Soon Randal is fighting for his life.
Alexius Blackwood and his men are attacking the Bolton men, and are also surprised by how well they fight. Soon it is everything he can do to stay alive.
Fires break out. Tents crash down. Women scream. Children hide. Horses break free from their tethers and crash about wildly. Yet through all of this, the Bolton men fight like wolves. Isolated, and in small pockets, they bleed the Blackwood men hard. Never will these Rivermen mock Northern warriors, the Northmen seem to kill three for every lose they take. In many other circumstances this would have been the road to a grand victory, but in this encampment they were out numbered at least five to one.
Slowly most of the Bolton's are picked off or killed. Yet several bands of four to five men still fight and move, one commanded by the Flayed Man himself.

The Sortie
Morax waited just out of sight of the Hand's encampment watching, but more importantly listening. When he heard the sound of combat, he knew his Lord had been right. Motioning he led his four hundred charging across the field.
Quite a few Blackwood men say the charge coming, but most of the best soldiers were closer to the fight disintegrating near the Hand's tent.
So the Bolton sortie sliced through the first line of defenders like a knife through pig's fat. Morax led the charge screaming and yelling, hacking away at his enemies with a vigor that was renowned through out the Dreadfort.
When four Boltons came running out of a burning tent, they were almost attacked by Morax's men. At the last second Lord Lyas was recognized and allowed to pass through the line. Morax ordered another fifty men to get Lyas out to safety.
Morax knew he could not run otherwise the enemy forces would overcome his retreating men and Lyas would be caught. So he ordered his men to continue their advance through the Blackwood men.
Lannister men began to enter the camp from the direction of the Rock. They were armed and ready lead by Ser Justin Prestor.

The Raid
Tytos Blackwood charged into the nearly undefended Bolton camp. Only boys and old men defended. It did not take long for his three hundred men to take the Bolton's there as captives.

Randal and his bodyguards will try to link up with the newly arriving Lannister men.

The Finale
Westermen led by Prestor and Randal himself, with the remnants of the Blackwood guards marching into the almost four hundred men Morax has remaining. The Bolton men buckle almost immediately, retreating or dying soon only Morax is left standing. Eventually Morax also fell, he was wounded in the leg and knocked out.
The rest of his men are slaughtered by the hundreds of Westermen that now pour into the camp.
When mounted warriors caught up to the fifty men guarding Bolton they are surrounded. The Northern guard men decide to fight to the death rather then surrender. After they are all killed, it is discovered that Lyas has slipped away with a small number of men into the crowds around the keep.
