B

[Weirdsound]

Honestly I think all our options are good here, I'll vote D to keep it alive though.

[Criptfeind]

Too bad we can't head east instead of west and try to meet up with the Agaresian v Eón battle.

[omada]

B We need to get closer so they can fire less arrows and draw swords. If the other noble is stupid enough and turn his back/left to the forest he is doomed. If not we still have the cover of the woods till get close enough to charge.

D will just make us a funny target.

And by the way. We should have killed that first envoy not write a letter. Our spy have upgrades not our charisma.

With such bad rolls, a 1 and a 2, he really wanted to kill us and never stopped being rude.

We would die.

Our spies surely should get the chance to inform our son about the Eón-agaresian war.

He is wise and would get a good opportunity.

[Imic]

I knew we were going to end up becoming autonypamous at some point.
Please give us this war, Haspen.

I'm not going to vote on a selection, though, sonce at this point I just want to watch what heppens.

[Haspen]

You send part of the Army - horsemen - into the forest, where they will wait and try to strike suddenly at the flank.

The rest, under your lead, moves around the forest by its east border, meeting with the enemy. The battle is joined and your troops look so depleted compared to the Dahnians.

4*

Your brave soldiers press on, and even under the massive volleys of enemy arrows, they manage to keep their spirits and their numbers intact.

4*

Under your leadership, the much smaller force puts a nice display of martial prowess, but casualties continue to mount...

Then the surprise attack occurs from the side!

3*

Alas! Your horsemen fall upon a strong flank and the Dahnian soldiers beat them into a rout.

2*

Your soldiers are beaten and whole units begin to lose cohesion! Your Army is running away in chaos!

A) Retreat! Retreat!
B) CHAAARRRRGGEE!!
C) Regroup and fight a bit more!

[Draignean]

B

Oh Estwalf, you're too old for this shit...

[HappyPlank]

B I guess...?

[Harry Baldman]

B

Death or glory - if we lose this we're six kinds of fucked anyway!

[Haspen]

You take your trusted guards and CHAAARRGEEE!

FOR GLORY OR DEATH!

2*

Death it is. You fall off your horse pincushioned by enemy arrows.

Last thing you hear is panicked sounds of your Army's retreat horn.

Then it is darkness.

985 AD, Next Morning

You're Atan, the next leader of Tven!

As you lead the remnants of your father's army back towards Tven, your rear scouts report that a large troop of Dahnian cavalry is hot on your heels! Approximately two and half thousand cavalry is after your pitiful two thousand foot and handful of mounted men.

Your officers ask you for a battle plan.

A) Part of Army will garrison the first Tven castle you find, the rest reinforces your capital.
B) You will take your soldiers and garrison the first friendly castle that you will find.
C) Part of Army will garrison the first Tven castle you find, the rest marches in other direction to cause some trouble in Dahnian borderlands.
D) Entirety of the Army marches to Tven capital to prepare for inevitable siege.

Question : Since why does 1+2+1 equal 2?

[Haspen]

There, fixed, got them arithmetics wrong ;v

[Weirdsound]

No 'Surrender' or 'send emissary to talk peace' option? The rebellious duke has been dealt with and his forces humbled. I'm sure if Atan jumps right into groveling, we might be able to get away with a light punishment and go back to rebuilding the Duchy.

Tven's framework is still strong, and Teven will be mighty again if it can stay out of battle for a few years.

...In Lieu of that, I'll choose B, and we can negotiate when the perusing army catches up.

[Haspen]

Naw, any talking was forfeit when Estwalf decided to rebel instead of going and talking with the King personally.

[Weirdsound]

So this is one of those settings where responsibility for that shit runs in a bloodline. Gotcha.
