Reginald moves south with Romuald.


Drake sets full sail, praying to be in time.



Alexis heads home.


Romuald moves south with Reginald.


Harkon moves slowly with the cannons, heavy quipment that needs to be taken care off, while Nansen hurries on towards the city, to coordinate the defences already.


"They breached the walls! They are in the city. Run for your lives!"
Such calls can be heared all over the city of St.Benedictus, as Cromwells defences fail in front of the Saracen troops, which now have to be beaten back in street combat.


Argoss hurries as much as he can to help Cromwell. Will he be in time ?


Garroth makes a rollcall "if there are any heroes in town". On the call for someone who is interested "In becoming a high ranking military officer, with the proper pay and prestige", about 4-5 dozen men and even some women start counting their "stories of heroism in the past". When an old beggar begins rambling about slaying a dragon, Garroth sighs to himself, and heads on.


Ivan moves.



Gawaren attempts to storm the citywalls, but is beaten back harshly. 7 men fall victim to this loss, and another 5 are wounded.




Rumors speak of strange happenings close to the river in the east of the alps. A druidic, a priest of the heretic religions and false gods, has been sighted there. Despite none having been sighted far decades.

"It seems we will arrive right on time with the enemy," said Bin Mayaddah, with a slight frown. Arthur could not say whether it was because he was actually worried about the town or because he was disappointed that the enemy, his one-time comrades, had not beaten them to it.

Arthur shook his head wearily. This was not the time to become paranoid and start seeing treason in such meaningless things. All he had to do now is reach the city in time to keep it from falling to the enemy.
 
Orders:
Hurry into the city and set up defenses asap.

[EagleV]

"Saracens? In MY city? They won't get far. Find someone who still has both legs to get Bolbec, we need to discuss our tactics."

The saracans had pulled back for a moment, probably preparing the next wave. The hasty barricades in the streets wouldn't hold much longer, not against these ruthless attackers. Ruthless, and probably soulless, how else could they attack the chosen lands of God under the banner of a demon?
"We cannot attack them in the flanks trough the streets. They control the whole area near the gates. Once they advance trough the main street for the next assault, they will be protected by buildings on both sides. We can't get near the gates either, they have archers in the towers. Our best option is to let them come. But we won't be unprepared. I want all available archers on the roofs left and right of the street, in front of the barricade. Let them stay flat on the roof until the Saracans are attacking the barricade. That should give us enough confusion and chaos to press the attack, charge over the barricade and chase them out of the city. Once their main battle group is running, the rest will follow."

The soldier ran out of the building to convey the orders, and when he was gone, Adriaen sank down in his chair. "God, why do you test me so? Truly, Your ways are unfathomable."
"Hey, relax, boy. Those dogs didn't win yet, and from what I've seen, we will defeat them sooner or later. They won't take the city centre as long as we are in charge."

Orders: Purge the heretics! Also, keep defending the city

Gawaren didn`t like the taste of defeat. He had tasted it only a few times, and each time it was a bitter drought.

He might have lost only a handful of men, yet his "army" was so small that every loss hurt. Some others were wounded, moaning day and night.

He would take this city, though, he vowed. And he already had chosen a new plan.

"Captain, order most of my men to hide themselves in the tents. Each night light fewer campfires, and send one or two men out into the desert with some horses. Not far, just out of sight. Trustworthy men, of course.."

It was a tactic he had often used. He wanted to make them believe that more of his soldiers were wounded than they had thought, and he also wanted to convince them that some had deserted him.

And if they sallied forth to attack him, they would face a bigger army than they had expected.

Gawaren further besieges the city and tries to lure the defenders out by tricking them into believing that a great part of his army is gone. If it doesn`t work Gawaren attacks the city again, at the end of the week, at night. He will lead the assault himself. (But he won`t risk his life, and he will leave most of the fighting to his men. He just wants to inspire his troops.)

[IronyOwl]

Argoss made an irritated sound. He'd expected the battle to be a stalemate, or even an eventual rout. He hadn't anticipated the Saracens breaking through the walls, and now he was uncertain how long Cromwell would last.
"I suppose one of the first things you'll need to learn about war," he said to Arthur, "is that everything goes to hell sooner or later."
Arthur smiled.
"Like delicate machinery," he responded confidently. Argoss chuckled briefly at this; he supposed the arts of engineering were probably fairly good preparation to the arts of war.
"Well, let's move out," Argoss said a moment later, "Nothing we can do about speed."

Orders: Argoss and Arthur take all troops five tiles west.

Orders : Move and attack the city. Nothing special here. Of course scouting the city might help too.

[NUKE9.13]

I met him, you know. Harkon. Came marching into the city, with about two hundred soldiers, and a dozen cannon. I was just packing the last of my things, getting ready to leave. He saw me packing, and said, 'hey, citizen. Are you fleeing the city?' then he laughed. He told me to unpack, because the Saracens would be beaten back easily, and wouldn't even get a chance to touch the city walls, let alone my house. Well, screw him, thought I, and I kept packing. But I admired his confidence.
-Inhabitant of Rostovondon, who fled the siege of summer 1XXX.

Rostovondon is made to be defend against attacks from the south. Situated at the mouth of a pass through the black hills, the defences are built into both sides of the hills. Although the fortifications are ruined, there are still elevated and hard to reach areas, from where cannons and archers can harass an attacking force mercilessly. And with about two weeks before the Saracen would arrive, Harkon had plenty of time to set up his cannons in easily defendable positions, and reinforce the walls with earth and wood.

Meanwhile, scouts are sent ahead to survey the enemy force. Is the banner of a famed general in their ranks? Are those warhorses? Does the sun shine brightly off steel armour? The enemy has been slow-moving, and there are plenty of places in the mountains and the hills from which one can watch without being seen.


Everyone sits in Rostovondon, reinforcing the defences. Scouts are sent down the pass to observe the enemy army.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Reginald moves south with Romuald, and attacks the city.
Meanwhile in his own lands, the Saracen troops are moving ever closer.


Drake only just in time arrives to prevent the Saracens from fully establishing controle in his city, having arrived a day earlier than he did. The walls however, are lost for him. Now he only needs to chase the enemy out of the city.



Alexis heads north west.


Romuald attacks the city. Using the superior force of 2 generals and skilled troops, the walls are overrun without much trouble at all.


Under the terrible hail of hellfire from the canons, the Saracens attacking Rostovondon quickly lose hope, and retreat with haste to regroup and replan.


Cromwell holds them off bravely, but the standstill is hard to decide one way or another. The streets, filled with bowmen in every window, are proving a hindrance for both sides.



Argoss moves, to save the live of his friend.


Garroth moves


Ivan moves.



Gawaren, making the enemy fall for the oldest trap in the book, has the gates now under his controle, and only lost 2 men while doing so.
