Day 5: Lorn and his men arrive to attempt to take the castle and its reduced strength garrison by storm.
 |
| Montidine (on the right) and 60 knights charge out of castle Auvernge, trying to get at the longbowmen. Crossbow shoot from the ramparts. All 60 knights die to a volley from the 400 archers. |
 |
| Montidine fights the archers alone, while Lorn and his cronies march around to his flank. |
 |
| Montidine slaughters many archers in melee, but their numbers ensure the battle is a draw. Lorn marchers closer. |
 |
| Montidine and Lorn engage in one on one combat, watched by Lorns soldiers. |
After several rounds of brutal melee, Montidine slays Lorn in a flurry of blade and blood. Lorns claim to the duchy dies with him. Lorns soldiers pragmatically swear to served Montidine.
So...Montidine now owns castle Auvernge and Daventry, with a total army of 160 armoured foot, 260 archers and 200 crossbowmen.
His main rival Gustav Flaubert owns castles Greenstorm and G'stadt, with a total army of 400 archers, 160 pikemen, 200 hand gunners and 100 crossbows.
Nodron wanders in the wilderness with only 20 orcs.
Only the fates know who will win.
