Battle of King's Landing

[wookie]

Benfry arrives at the far bank of the Blackwater. His white cloak and the fact that his boat was under fire from the walls gave the Far Reach troops pause, long enough for him to speak to them "I am Ser Benfry Smith of the Kingsguard. Please take me and my companions along to your commander. I need to know what is going on and where the Lord Regent is"

He helps the wounded Osmund out of the boat, as Jirri carries the unconscious boy, wary of all the armed men surrounding them.

[edricdayne]

Seeing the Valemen cut to pieces Tytos would want to come to the support of his strong allies the Vale. Tytos would lead his thousand men towards them and try to beat Andry's forces back. He would also still have to keep a line of men behind him to defend from Lannister forces.

[Maester Maurin]

Getting around Riverlands forces, Marten will hopefully see that King is in danger and strike at the men pursuing him. He has 200-300 Knights with him.


Walter is extremally excited to be in his first real battle. He will gather men around him and strike at the weakest point in the Riverlands defense.

"They killed our Regent, make these Bastards pay!" -He screams.

[Imry Willfyre]

The Barclay ships spot Irwyn's attempts at communication and sail towards him in an earnest attempt to ferry his men across the Blackwater.

[Fel]

Yea, if Andry's got no ships then the Harlaw ships will also help to ferry Irwyn's men across. I thought we were waiting on a naval-battle.

[The Smith]

The Valesmen: 9,700

Hundreds of Valemen run from the field as their kin lie dying on the ground. Except for three pockets of cohesion, there is no order in the Vale camp. A pocket of loyal men surround the bawling Lord Pryor. A small pocket men are separated from the center, are forced south by Stormlanders.

The third pocket forms around Roland Royce. The fighting between Valemen and Riverlander has quelled almost entirely. Several hundred men form a cohesive unit around Royce. He moves but can not strike at Andry's flank. As Andry's forces begin to move toward the forces under Roland and Tytos.

The King's guard lead by Ser Grandison are caught by two hundred Baratheon men, lead by Ser Wylde. Wylde cuts down his old friend Grandison, and his men kill Ser Berrim Manderly. Dondarrion and Yew still stand.


The Riverlanders: 9,100

Several hundred men hurry away from the battle, streaming by the Lord Hand's position. Horas orders several messengers into the fray to talk to Lord Banefort, but those men are killed by Westermen.

Tytos now has two thousand men obeying his words, and the turn east moving toward the Vale camp, and Prince Andry's men. Soon he joins with Roland's men and now they have a combined army of almost four thousand men staring across a clearing field at their actual enemies.

The Westermen: 12,700

To Ser Walter Plumm's surprise, the defenses in front of his men crumbles, as the majority of men are pulled to the east. Soon the thin line of Rivermen left guarding Tytos' rear begins to roll up, and Plumm would have crashed into the back's of Blackwood's forces., except a pocket of Valemen appeared charging the Lannister's lines. Slowing up Plumm was confused, and it took Lord Jon Royce almost cutting him down for Walter to realize these men are enemies too.

Jon had missed Walter, but killed a young Swyft knight with an easy blow. Jon called out endlessly for the traitorous Lannisters to show themselves. Plumm took the initiative and attacked before Lord Royce could turn to face him. Plumm's best blow just sent sparks flying from the mystic armor, and Lord Royce turned and smiled darkly at the young Plumm lad. The battle between the two of them lasted several minutes, both took hits, and blood dripped from both swords. In the end it was a simple stumble that decided on man's fate. As Lord Jon looked into Walter's eyes it was debatable about who was more surprised by the turn of events. Lord Jon Royce died moments later, and Walter limped away toward the battle. When Royce fell it took the wind from his men's sails. They began to flee to the north, and many Riverlanders followed.

The Crownlanders: 6,000

The Crownlanders move through the fleeing Valemen under their skilled leadership. Finally the see the enemy, and they stare at the rear of Andry's force. He has turned his forces to the west, but has left a strong rear guard between himself and both the crumbling Valemen and the Crownlanders. The Crownlanders see their foe, and begin to charge.

The Stormlander Sortie Party: 8,900

Most of Prince Andry's men are now forming up facing the Riverlanders and Roland's men. A rear guard of almost a thousand men stare back at the Crownlanders, and the remnants of the Vale camp. Three large groups of stormlanders attack Lord Pryer's men, The King's party and the cohesive group of Valemen moving toward the south.

The men attacking the Kings Guard are surprised when Martin Lannister's men charge in from the side. The Lannister men rout the Stormlanders, but not before Ser Flowers is felled and Ser Dondarrion is gravely wounded. Ser Yew joins the last of his men, to the Lannister force, and commands Marten to leave the battle with all haste.

The City

The sounds of battle rage outside, and now people inside begin to react. Goldcloaks and commoners rise up against Andry charging the Red Keep. The Keep is well guarded though, and soon Goldcloaks, and gangs loyal to the Baratheon name rise and begin to combat these men. Units of solders from both sides begin clashing in the city streets in a low level intense battle. If people had thought the battle outside the gates is confusing what erupts in the city is more so.

The Far Reach: 10,000 men

The first of Lord Barclay's ships begin to land on the shore allowing Far Reach soldiers to begin to board in the first second and third ships.
The exciting conclusion coming soon.

[Maester Maurin]

Ser Marten`s goal now is to take the King to safety.

[The Smith]

If every one wants to issue some orders, they have several hours I am about to go out.

[Ellinda]

Lilith Royce Bettley's healers band is slightly behind the lines of battle but nearest to Roland Royce's troops. She tends any wounded that come in though a few of the lightly injured Royce men keep watch over their felled opponents.

[House Dustin]

As Roland watches Andry try to press his advantage against the three scattered groups from the Vale camp, he will look for any opportunity where his own forces gain sufficient strength for a deliberate advance on Andry. He will continue trying to rally Vale or Riverland forces until Andry shows an obvious weakness to exploit or until there is decent strength about him for an attack to relieve pressure on the three scattered groups.

[Erik]

Erik will let the ships under his command fill up with Far Reach men before ferrying them across. Once across, he and his men will fight alongside their passengers.

[Maester Maurin]

Is Walter still able to command? If so, he will continue to press against Riverlands camp, which should be easy victim right now.

If not, there are other Lannister Lords around- Yew, Brax, Farman, Marbrand......propably less hot-headed than Walter.

[Horas]

In the City:

With almost all of Andry's forces guarding the walls, the Red Keep, or sortying out, Horas' previously captured force within the city should be very lightly guarded. His agents within the city will attempt to free them and kill their guards, bringing as many weapons as possible for them. The 2,000 strong force will attempt to retain military discipline as they arm themselves and move through the streets. Their main goal will be to kill Andry's men and sieze one of the gates.

Spies inside the Red Keep itself will try to open servants entrances and the like to the goldcloaks trying to take the keep.


With Horas:

Horas positions the thousand or so men in the way that will cause the most damage to Andry's force, then orders the charge. Seeing Lannisters with the fleeing party of the King, Horas will once again try to send a message to Marten.


With Tytos:

Graham Blackwood wants a good shot at Andry with his bow. He'll settle for charging and hacking, though.

[The Flint]

Ser Torn will lead the Far Reach men against the River Gate, using battering rams and ladders to get over. Crossbowmen will provide covering fire while infantry attempt to take the gate.

400 Varner troops inside The Burrow will attempt to rally together with Royce Bronzehall troops, and open the River Gate from the inside.

[swammeyjoe]

Tytos, that hedge knight I made, where is he?
