[Mr. Dwarfinton]

"Regiment one(armored and long swords), cover the left flank! Regiment two(Just long swords), Cover the door! Regiment three(Unarmored and short swords), stay close to me and be prepared to charge!" The king yells out. He readily pulls out his sword and climbs onto his chair. "My glorious men, we shall not fall, we shall not lose our castle, nor our pride. This seige will not end us, but make us stronger. We will show them what death feels like! We will bring their cursed leader down! Tonight, we will have vengance! Tonight, we will have our victory!" He steps from his chair and lets the soldiers go to where they are assigned. He then walks around the between the three regiments, saluting them and wishing them the best of luck.

Makeshift shields and regular shields require an exact roll of 5 for a regiment to not be completely destroyed. Make shift shields give a -1 penalty so they will need a roll of 6 to be effective. The roll will only be made if they lose a fight. If the roll is a success then the regiment will only receive a -1. If they have armor or longswords they will receive that buff, making them have only a +1 with armor and long swords.

[5] The soldiers follow your orders exactly how you you request. The unarmored and short sword wielding regiment grab several ornamental shields that hang off the wall, they are not the best of shields but they will have to do in this case. Your courage and saluting makes them have no doubts about what you order them to do and they will not retreat unless ordered to, even if they are the last surviving soldier. They ready themselves and await your orders.

Please wait until other orders are made until you make your next one, unless of course you don't want the added bonus that a person may add by doing something.

See if I can find some form of oil, and soak my blades in them. Also have one of my men wield a sword, and torch to light mine on fir when we go into battle.

(Doing this for the shock, and awe factor)

[2] You find no oil, and on top of this one of your men call you stupid and reckless when they hear about your idea. The fire from the swords would no doubt burn one of your own soldiers due to the tightness of the hallway. You would also probably end up burning your own hand.

Using my architectual skill, reinforce the doors.

[adwarf]

"I didn't say they'd work just scare the heck out of the enemy, but oh well. On to the next plan"

Gather any sharp knives, or kitchen knives to use as throwing knives

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Sharpen my sickle, and wait for anyone who requires my assistance.

[Coolnesstod]

The king sits down in his chair, he then pulls out his little knife from his sleeve. Whispering "Oh little knife, how much i love to cut throats with thee." He then returns it to his sleeve and then calls single peasant over. "alright, i need you to do something. Gather these men for me, but dont shout it out, be secretive. I need Aelfric the Red and Alexander Finch by my chair as soon as possible. Think you can do that?"

[Mr. Dwarfinton]

Using my architectual skill, reinforce the doors.

[3] Using your knowledge of building you manage to reinforce the barricade that has already been made, it is in no way stronger than it was before but you manage to create makeshift spears facing the entrance. There is a chance that enemy soldiers may get impaled if they charge towards it without thinking.

"I didn't say they'd work just scare the heck out of the enemy, but oh well. On to the next plan"

Gather any sharp knives, or kitchen knives to use as throwing knives

[4] You find several knives. This is a party with meat as the main course, knives are needed and the thought of there being no knives is completely silly. You grab around 10 throwing knives to use and put them in your belt.

Sharpen my sickle, and wait for anyone who requires my assistance.

[3] You sharpen your sickle and wait. You do this flawlessly and everyone is in awe at how good you wait. However your waiting is soon disrupted, to the disappointment of the nobles who enjoyed it very much.

The king sits down in his chair, he then pulls out his little knife from his sleeve. Whispering "Oh little knife, how much i love to cut throats with thee." He then returns it to his sleeve and then calls single peasant over. "alright, i need you to do something. Gather these men for me, but dont shout it out, be secretive. I need Aelfric the Red and Alexander Finch by my chair as soon as possible. Think you can do that?"

The peasants nods and goes towards the two men. However this is soon disrupted, like the waiting performed during this.

Outside you hear bustling. Words are exchanged, all you manage to make out is that they have a superior force outside. Everyone who hears  what is said hopes that the spears will weaken their forces. There is no time to worry however, the pounding of feet resounds throughout the mess hall. Some soldiers get nervous, of course, it is normal for people to get nervous when faced by a superior fighting force. The words of their king, however, strengthens their belief that they will win and they hold steady in case of a break in their barricade. As the foot steps get louder several bolts smash into the door. No change in the barricade is noticeable, though many things cannot be seen from a distance. Several long seconds later you hear things crashing into the door, be it people or objects.
[1] They break through without any effort whatsoever. The doors are like butter and the weight of your enemy is a hot knife. The doors make absolutely no difference to them at all and they charge as if there were no doors. Your enemy is truly a force to be feared.
[2] The crossbowmen of your enemy have a clear shot and they launch a volley towards you. [3] However the entire volley misses any living thing and simply slams into the table and clatters off of the stone floor. [1] The precautions taken before they burst through are useless. They don't even bother stopping, with a flawless move from each soldier they sweep the spears aside and [3] Destroy the barricade, however it proves strong and an entire regiment falls over as they try to get past the fallen barricade.
[1] The amount of soldiers they have cannot be seen, and anyone trying to take count of the soldiers would be a stupid person as fighting soon breaks out.

What do you do?

Report: Barricade is down. One enemy regiment is on the ground due to falling over it. No enemies hurt by the spears. You have no idea how many soldiers they have. None of their soldiers have been hurt. None of your soldiers have been hurt. The enemy is still trapped at where your barricade was.

Note: Please perform actions in the same way adwarf does, so it is easier. It is fluff and then actions which are bold text.

"Fight to the end, and stay strong! For the King!" Alexander yelled as he pulled a knife from his belt, and threw it at the enemy. He didn't wait to see who it hit as he drew his sword, and charged at the enemy prepared for any outcome that may occur.

Throw one of my knives then me, and my men will charge the enemy

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Aye. We will die for you, m'lord. I was born to fight, and if I must, then I will die fighting!" Aelfric charged after Alexander, waving his sickle. "For the King, country, and the gods!"


Charge with Alexander's men.

[Coolnesstod]

"To arms my men! We will fight to the end"

Have regiments 2 and 3 charge into the enemy. Regiment 1 will cover them and then slowly make their way in, making sure that they arent overwhelmed. I will take my 2 personal guards and start herding the nobles and peasants a little bit farther away then after we will join the fight, in the back of course.

[Logic of throwing knives] You throw the kitchen knife, but it is a kitchen knife and nothing more. The handle of it hits the man's body but leaves no serious damage, perhaps a little bruising but nothing more. Due to the king not giving you control of his army you charge with the king's men instead.

"Aye. We will die for you, m'lord. I was born to fight, and if I must, then I will die fighting!" Aelfric charged after Alexander, waving his sickle. "For the King, country, and the gods!"


Charge with Alexander's men.

Alexander was not given control of a regiment by the king, and thus you charge with the Alexander who charges with the king's men.

"To arms my men! We will fight to the end"

[4 +1 = 5] The regiment with the short swords and the one with the long swords make their way towards the enemy. Due to the tight space they are pushed into there isn't much space for more than 3 or 4 soldiers in a row. The men with the long swords take the front and slaughter the regiment on the ground.
[6] They then proceed to slaughter the next regiment, though half the regiment dies in the process. The longsword bonus is lost for this regiment.
[3] As they attack the next enemy regiment several soldiers die, but in all they win the fight.
[2] Their luck runs out in this case, however, and the next regiment they go up against ends up defeating them. Due to them needing 2 hands for the longsword they had no shields and were slaughtered completely. Long sword regiment lost.
[5] The short sword regiment flawlessly executes the next regiment. Only one soldier dies in the unarmored group and they proceed to the next regiment.
[4] The crossbowmen have had time to rearm their crossbows and launch another volley. Crossbow bolts fly past your men, none landing in any soldiers. The next enemy regiment, and as it appears the last melee enemy regiment in the area, make way towards your unarmored regiment. [6] They get defeated however, although they thoroughly demolish the makeshift shields the soldiers have. Should they be defeated then they will be completely destroyed now, with no chance of being saved.
[2] As your men go toward the crossbowmen they reactivate their crossbows in a hurry and launch a volley. All crossbow bolts slam into your men and they fall to the ground, defeated and completely finished. Unarmored and short sword wielding regiment lost.
[5 + 3] As the 2 generals join the fight the last armored and armed regiment get more direct orders of what to do, they quickly surge forward and slaughter the crossbowmen where they stand. The battle has been won, although you have been almost completely defeated.

The Bear comes out from the servant's quarters, saying that he was 'making sure the nobles and peasants were okay.' It is obvious he was scared and he quickly leaves your presence. Everyone else tends to the injured soldiers as you create your plans.

What do you do?

Report: All armed regiments but your longswordsmen are left. Barricade destroyed. No major people lost. Spears from barricade are intact and can be used again. Current enemy has been defeated, although there are no doubt much more. Exactly 5 melee regiments of the enemy destroyed. 1 crossbowmen regiment destroyed.

[adwarf]

Alexander walked up to the King, and bowed as he spoke, "My Liege I request permission to form a regiment with from the peasants gathered, and march out to reclaim the Armory." His blades are sheathed, but several slight cuts on his arms have covered part of his clothes in blood.

((For my men I meant the eight from my squad not a regiment))

[Coolnesstod]

"Good job men, although we lost people, we have won. Take the wounded to the peasants, see what they can do. Gather those crossbows and the ammo! take whatever long swords and armor we can haul, have the nobles help! And Alex, request granted, arm them with some of the weapons we gather, you will need it."

Gather the crossbows, long swords and armor, along with our wounded. Then find ourselves a pair of armor. Give Alex(Adwarf) a peasant regiment.

[adwarf]

"Thank you my Liege, I shall not fail you." Alexander said before standing up, and ordering the peasants into formation, so they can take their weapons, and prepare for what is to come.

Gather the Peasant Regiment, and arm them with some of the weapons, and gear from the ground. Take short swords, shields, and bows only. (By Bows I mean just that not crossbows)
