From the north and north-east come two hosts, both of equal strength, descending on the plains around Tumbleton, colliding to face the Tumbleton from the northeast.
The source of the mander stood to their side, and the great force, carrying the colors of the Black Queen - falcon, dragon, and seahorse - glared down at the Reachmen across a wide meadow. Warhorns sounded, announcing the hostile intent as per the rules of war.

ooc: Send orders to? Also which Black commanders are present?

**Trot** · June 20, 2015, 04:30 PM

ooc Yorwyck is here I would assume. As is Belmore. Corbay seems to have gone and done his own thing Rheanyrs is taming a dragon and Daemon is in the capital. So I'm not sure about Crownlander nobility.

ooc: So we have no dragons in this army?

**Dirty Chai** · June 20, 2015, 04:32 PM

OOC: No dragons. But you don't need any either.
You also have Darklyns present - inactive player, but they have signed-up skills.

A soot grey dragon is seen flying overhead.

Soon the men are informed Prince Jacaerys has come to fight his mother's foes.

The men were in high spirits. Despite the rather grim tactical outlook, fresh from the victory at King's Landing and the number advantage - the men were confident. Lucian once again donned his armor, his squires doing up the sinches and straps. His sword was strapped to his side and he grabbed his helmet as he swept out of the tent. He had shaven his face and washed. He always liked to feel clean before a battle. He shouted encouragement to his men. "We will bloody them again, boys, and send them screaming back into the Reach." He mounted his horse and scanned the men leaving the camp and forming a battle line. "Sound th ehorns again, let us strike fear into the hearts of our foe. And give a shout!" He unsheathed his sword and raised it into the air. "Honor, courage, victory!" He yelled as he spurred his horse forward to take up his position on the line. The Reach was a green, beautiful place made muddy and brown by the marching of his troops. The turf in front of them would soon be turned putrid with blood and the corpses of the dead. He remembered the bloated corpses on the fields outside King's Landing. The carrion birds were well fed that day. He returned its sword to hsi sheath and accepted the lance handed to him. He inspected it and once satisfied, shut his visor deftly. The first part of the battle was always the easiest - just a joust.

ooc Roll request to see if Yorwyck meets any notable Greens in a duel during the battle.

ic Yorwyck mounts his horse and eases Lamentation from it's scabbard. The fighting would be hard tonight. Even with the numerical edge the Reachmen would not go down easily. He glances worriedly at Arryn. The man's arm wound would do him no favors in the fighting. Perhaps he should have remained with the Rear guard, bur no Arryn was to much like himself. He would have done the same thing in Arryn's place. Sighing he prepares his men to lead the charge. It would be another bloody day for the men of the Vale.
