13,125 Stormlanders under the command of Ser Grant Connington, Lord Connington, Lord Breck Dondarrion and Lord Wilbert Cafferen attempt to sieze Yronwood.
Ser Grant Connington is Apprentice Swordsmanship and Master Battle Command
Ser Liam Connington is Master Swordsmanship
Lord Breck Dondarrion is Expert Swordsmanship and Apprentice Battle Command
Lord Wilbert Cafferen is Grandmaster Scouting (perhaps Grandmaster battle as well?)
Lord Connington has unknown command skills, but probably around noteworthy expert.
The commander with the highest command skill will lead the host (either Grant or Wilbert).
Lord Breck Dondarrion is to fight in the battle but well protected by many of his best guards. Ser Liam Connington is to also fight nearby Breck as an additional guard.

The Dornish have 5000 men at Yronwood not sure of their commander.

I would imagine Lord Yronwood is in command of the Dornish. Since he's not a PC or a noted general/warrior do we just assume he's a regular NPC with noteworthy/apprentice of those skills?

ooc: Yronwoods are traditionally second only to Martell so I would rate him at least Expert personally.
And it hurts me to say it, but I hope he's seriously badass

OOC: But we can't assume this stuff. He isn't above expert if he isn't on a list. It may not sound fair, but the Stormlands kinda got shafted in the whole Noted/Famous Generals department, so it's not fair to us either.

The Stormlanders again assault the walls, with ropes and ladders, their men attacking with rams and siege towers, but the Dornish again repulse it, throwing boiling oil upon the Stormlanders who scream in agony, and beg for Dornish arrows to put them out of their misery. Ser Liam Connington and Lord Dondarrion fight back to back to disentangle themselves from the Dornish, and await a third attempt.

The Yronwoods are proving this day why they are known as the second greatest house in the realm. A third time the assault of the Stormlanders is repulsed. The Stormlanders begin to break, and flee, but Dondarrion steps up, and convince the men that they must hold their ground.
A pile of Stormlander bodies is beginning to form around the walls of Yronwood.
Stormlanders: 9,600
Dornish: 3,038

The fourth time is the charm, and finally, thanks to the bravery of the brother's Connington, the Gate is breached, and men begin to pour into the walls of castle Yronwood. The bloodletting is great, as the Yronwood family and their men fight their way into the keep for a final stand.
Stormlanders: 9,120

Finally the famous Stormlander General finds his stride, and leads his men on a charge of the keep, sweeping all before them in a tide of blood and bone. At the end, it is the Yronwood's, father, and bastard son, back to back, alone, against the Stormland host.
They put up their swords. "We've done our duty. We surrender, we are your hostages." Says Lord Yronwood.
Final Results: 8,500

Btw, assuming he's not executed, Lord Jacyz Yronwood is now Master Battle.

Yeah, the Yronwood's did well, but I don't think the battle went as poorly for the Stormlands host as we previously thought. On a technicality we actually lost less troops.

Yea, I never thought the Stormlanders did badly, in fact I couldn't believe they lost pretty much the same amount of men. After all, storming a castle is risky business.

Hope you all are well and happy.
