[Haspen]

You order your remaining men to make a hasty retreat northwards!

4

In somewhat orderly manner, the remainder of footsoldiers quickly forms a rear guard that follows you and your mounted bodyguard of noblemen. On the way north, you meet with the spearmen reserves that look quite allright and relaxed.

"We never met the Lametanian horsemen, sire." Says their commanding officer.

With over two thousand of footsoldiers and fifty horsemen, you make your way toward House of Lech.

5

Only seldomly do Lametanian horsemen attack and harass the rear and flanks of your army, but those attacks are easily repelled with just minimal casualties amongst those retreating with you.

Few days later, a forward scout reports sighting of a camp with Luathbas banners!

By the evening, you enter the camp; it's not, unfortunately, reinforcements, but rather a small group of forward watch. They are warned of incoming Lametanian forces, and then you make your way back to House of Lech. Fortunately, this part of the journey comes without shame of defeat and risk of your life.

In two days time, you cross the gate of House of Lech, and have a messenger dispatched to the capital, asking for reinforcements of any kind.

The military commanders convene with you, and in this debate the next course of action is decided...

A) Let's wait and recuperate for a few days or maybe a week, even.
B) We will take the reserves of House of Lech and march back towards Felonsein at once!

[Tiruin]

B

It's the chivalrous thing to do. Hopefully we'll be able to diplomacy a decent settlement out of this with the Queen. She wouldn't want to just kill us, when she could potentially get so much more from keeping us around.

Tell that to the deep strike & burn tactics she's done, along with the HUUUUMAN PUURITTYYYYY theme they've got.

Also woo, good retreat. Good choice \o/

Also be reminded, they're NOW ABLE to siege the Fortress. It's going to take...a while, although a week can spell destruction in a certain sense. o_O
...Just unsure what recuperating can do here.

B
We started with an army of 7! We can do this!

[Ghazkull]

B- rend them apart!

[Kashyyk]

I'm guessing A will give us the chance to heal some injuries and wait for reinforcements. If the Queen if rocking two armies, then if we do match back out we need to harass that crap out of them.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

A

Hopefully we have a little time.

You order that the armies be ready to resume a move south in few days' time.

Five days later, you and your army is moving south once again, toward Felonsein. Your scouts report that the main siege army have arrived, having bested you in the forests, and they manage to deal considerable damage with their siege engines, mostly catapults.

When you're one day away from Felonsein, the scout brings someone to you; it the emissary of Lametania.

"O, King of Luathbas, brave warrior of proud people. My good Queen, Alexandra, is willing to offer you peace if you accept some conditions." You have him say those conditions.

The first is ceding of the Southern Territories to Lametania. The second is freedom of worship and equal religious rights to the followers of Damed. The third is the bethrothal of your oldest son with Queen's niece, Issira.

A) Tell the emissary that you reject those stupid conditions.
B) Tell the emissary that you're willing to negotiate something less demanding.
C) Tell the emissary that you accept those conditions if it brings peace between your two nations.

[Taricus]

A.

THIS. IS. LUATHBAS!!!

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Screw the first one. The second is technically true, though we're 90% sure they tried to overthrow us. The third has interesting potential and could give us legal reasons to finally conquest Lametania.

On the other hand.

A.

THIS. IS LUATHBAS!!!

+1

[crazyabe]

D: Have the emissary's Head Hacked off and Sent back to the Queen Viva Arrow.
Otherwise A.

[Haspen]

You tell him that you reject those demands. He bows, and leaves.

Few days after that encounter, you have Felonsein castle visible in the horizon, alas, the scouts report that a large force of Lametanian soldiers, backed by archers, is marching northwards to meet you. At a meeting with military commanders, you decide to...

A) Meet them head on!
B) Find and camp at well defended position, if there is any on those flat, forested plains.
C) Split the forces so that the cavalry goes harass the enemy, while you and your forces go roundabout way to strike at side or rear of the enemies besieging Felonsein.!
