Stannis, the rightful king, continues on his succesful campaing in the Stormlands, this time, advancing on Mistwood:
Furthermore..Renly Baratheon, the brother who was playing king, had the audacity of besieging Rolland Storm's fortifications, as an result of this act, Captain Donnel decided to attack Renly from the rear, an hero's sacrifice so that Rolland could regroup with the rest o his forces. Being nothing but a would-be-king, Renly falled to the trick:
Meanwhile...in the south, Davos sent an force to scout out for an hidden enemy spotted before the siege of mistwood, thankfully, the scouts found them and managed to survive without a fight. And so, Davos went forward with the rest of his army, under Stannis's orders:
Stannis, after sending Davos onwards, got news of another Renly force hidden in the trees, in order to be sure, another scout unit was sent to find those traitors to the king. Under the leadership of Captain Aemon, they managed to encounter Elwwood Staedmon and his army of 1321 men. After the raven arrived, Stannis decided to take this matter into his own hands, since Davos was recovering from the last battle:
...
"Sir...a raven arrived...it's from your daughter, she says she has done as you commanded, Storm's End is ours!" - Maester Cressen to The King of Westeros, Stannis Baratehon.

I'm afraid there is no escape for those men.
