Raymar Lefford, with his sons Donnel and Ryon, arrived in command of the Lefford contingent. They brought with them the following...

Lefford Contingent

[OOC: This includes the vassals of Nunn's Deep (2,000 Levy points) and Pendric Hills (750 Levy points), who sent half their points values as militia. Ser Raymar Lefford (+3 Charisma, +2 Duels, Survival, Battles) Ser Donnel Lefford (+2 Duels, Charisma, +1 Survival, Battles) Ser Ryon Lefford (+2 Duels, Survival, +1 Battles) 300 Westerlands Knights 46 Heavy Cavalry 738 Light Cavalry 538 Heavy Infantry 967 Polearms 575 Archers 3,164 men in total. 5,025 points in total.

Raymar came to Lord Tywin's tent, carrying with him a letter.

Harmund's Letter

Lord Tywin, I have sent my son and grandsons with the bulk of the Lefford forces, just over three thousand men in all, including our finest knights. I have retained some fifteen hundred heavy foot and six hundred archers at Goldentooth to hold the Eastern Pass, but they are at your disposal if you wish them deployed elsewhere. Your faithful servant, Lord Harmund Lefford

"My father is ever a cautious man, my Lord." said Raymar flatly, "He put those men on garrison duties when the Riverlands began calling their banners, though is prepared to move them knowing that the Riverlands are likely now our allies."

"It is no matter, Raymar." Tywin replied. "We have enough men for our purposes. For now we have the advantage in only Lord Arryn knowing our true intentions. It is likely we will not be directly engaged by Loyalists. However we have two options as I see them. We can either harry the Reach and tie up their armies, or proceed to King's Landing." He said the the assembling group of Lords. "Which path shall we take?"

[Poach]

"The North, Vale, and Riverlands can strike only south," said Raymar, ​"We are not needed in the Crownlands. We would be best making our presence known along the Reach border in order to deter them moving to support Aerys. Has Highgarden declared for the King?"

[Pontifex Maximus]

"Not formally, to my knowledge." Tywin replied "It might be that we should go an inquire of it ourselves. If they've gone for Aerys we might benefit from raiding their lands and carrying away plunder before moving east. Still, I hate to let others steal the glory of final battles.

[General Brewster]

"My Lords." Damon said with his heavy voice. Him being a rather tall man he was just shorter than Ser Gregor he looked down a little on the other man but meant no disrespect. He just couldn't quite help it.
"I have not heard their deceleration yet it. Perhaps they have not even fielded their forces yet. It would be a missed opportunity to march for the Reach border instead of Kingslanding. I think that marching for Kingslanding would be the smarter move. Taking in the political ramifications as well. Being the ones that take the capital could bring great rewards with it for the new king. In the end an other hard decision for you Lord Paramount.

[Poach]

"An open move against the King will surely see your son executed, Lord Tywin." cautioned Raymar.

[General Brewster]

"I fear that a move again an ally of the King might have the same effect" Damon added

[Pontifex Maximus]

"This is true, I must also consider Jaime's safety." Tywin pondered a bit. Crakehall had not yet arrived, but the beginnings of a strategy began to form. "We will split our forces." Tywin announced. "I shall strike south towards King's Landing under the pretext of joining Aery's forces outside the capital. Another will take command of the forces left in the Westerlands, and begin to raid and burn the border provinces south of Crakehall. Old Oak and Red Lake should be looted. Our army heading eastward will reach King's Landing before news of our actions reaches the King's ears."

[The Mad Skylord]

Speak of the Night King and he shall appear.

Roland Crakehall led his significant forces into the camp of Lord Tywin Lannister. Following him were his sons, Ser Tyrion and Ser Bronn, with the rest of the family remaining at Crakehall Castle.

Crakehall enters the strategy meeting slightly late, but here nonetheless. He bows to Lord Tywin and briskly nods to the other lords. "Lord Tywin, I have 6'000 men for your service.

Have I missed anything important?"

[Pontifex Maximus]

"Here is the plan." Tywin began. "I shall take command of an army group and move towards King's Landing. It shall contain the bulk of our armored men and heavy horse. It will be a force prepared to take the field and deal heavy damage or engage in a siege. In the meantime, Lord Crakehall, as apparent Lord of the Southern Marches, will lead a second group of lighter equipped men and determine the loyalties of the Reach Lords. Ser Gregor Clegane and others will accompany him. Their mission shall be to disrupt, loot, and draw away the forces of the Reach from proceeding east. Concentrate on border regions only, do not overextend yourself, Lord Crakehall. If the Reach turns out to support the rebellion, then move back to join me in the east. Are there any questions?"

"Why are families being split?" asked Raymar, as this was most unusual, ​"Both my sons have roles within our contingent."

[Pontifex Maximus]

"The manpower needs of the east will be greater and besides, the western group requires seasoned leadership but its mission is closer to what a young man would excel at doing." Tywin replied. He was not accustomed to being questioned with regards to a decided strategy. "Unless the Crakehalls or Paynes have any objection?" he asked almost rhetorically

[Poach]

"You deprive my forces of one of their captains, my Lord," said Raymar, "But so be it. Ryon shall fall under Lord Crakehall's command."

[General Brewster]

"Excellent. My sons will serve well under Lord Crakehall.

[The Mad Skylord]

Crakehall smiled insidiously. Glancing at the massive man known as the Mountain. Truthfully he had always wanted to see what that vicious bastard could do.

"I shall do my duty, and I am sure the men under me will prove more than capable of their required tasks."

Crakehall looked at Lord Tywin. "I'll set the Reach alight with murder, rape and pillage. "Remove Rose" will have an all new meaning in the south when I am finished!"

[General Brewster]

"Lord Crakehall, teach my boys well will you? Especially the younger one. " Damon Asked

[Pontifex Maximus]

"Very well." Tywin concluded. "Let us proceed with the plans."

[General Brewster]

"When do we march Lord Tywin?"
