Pork suffers the rest
Without the Royal Engineers of Pork's army, the attackers are forced to assault the walls with simple ladders and climbing hooks. The macemen and pigs of Revakn and Pork quickly climb the ramparts, receiving little in the way of resistance. Further along the wall they see the defenders, gathered around and within the gatehouse.
With a shout, the attackers charge atop the wall. Halfway there, the first rank of macemen simply drop through the floor, disappearing completely. The only proof that they even existed was their screams, quickly being cut off with a crunching sound. Unfortunately the impetus of the charge forced several more soldiers through the fake floor before everyone was able to stop. A quick examination (consisting of someone sticking their face through the floor) showed that the wall actually stopped in front of them, with nothing but a long drop to ditch filled with upright spears and an uncomfortable number of corpses.
Slowly picking their way to safer ground, the remaining attackers reached melee with the defending milita. Be it simple skill or outrage at such underhanded tactics, but the combined attackers quickly eliminated the defenders and declared the city in the name of the Alliance of Revakn.
On further exploration, the forests around Tieham have a large variety of rare creatures, whilst not much good for eating, that have exotic skins and furs.
In other news, your caravan to the Storm Empire has arrived in East Storm. They can complete their trade mission here, or they can push on further if you desire.
Finally, the Empire confirms receipt of the £700, and inquires when it can expect both regular payment and this season's tax of £100.
