BANDIT TROUBLES
AMBUSH IN THE NORTH

 

Spoiler

 

 

”One, two, three..... five, seve- Eh, close enough” Hans counted up the fresh men that had came in, joining their cause from all over the Haeseni country side, many for the same reason.

Years prior in the great Scyfling war, they were abandoned by their military and later in their war torn villages, forced to make peace with an outsider that had killed husbands, wives, brothers and sisters, soldiers and meager farmers. They would soon be joined by bandit and brigand, deserter and hedge knight, all seeking glory, gold and fame in the raids and battles to come.

 

Leading this band of ragged men and women, commoners and knights, was Geridon, a former officer of the Haeseni Royal Army he had at first hand seen the devastation that the war had brought upon the people, this coupled with his greed and eagerness to gain greater gold he deserted and started his rouge faction, the ‘Crimson Arms’

”Shhh’ere’ey come lads! Ready yourselves! We face down the dogs who dare abandon us! Who later dare to call themselves our protectors! Let us show them our steel!” With a powerful speech such as that, any peasant would die for the cause, those nervous steeled themselves, those unnerved grew confident.

However, as battle was inititated and as bilhooks and pitchforks clashed with swords, it soon turned into a one sided slaughter, many a man was slain. Geridon looked about, eyeing the dead corpses, even his own moral would faulter, leaving behind the others and his friend Galand to the enemy, he escaped by a hair back to the fort

 

Radzig’s Brigands fared better, their superior arms and armour putting up a hefty resistance to the Haeseni soldiers, many a man was injured on both sides and the brigands were ultimately slain, the hedge knight who came to assist them, one “Ser Dieter” was quickly overwhelmed but not before inflicting injuries upon several soldiers, spared via the codes of chivalry, his ransom was paid, and he retired himself from the battle.

 


 

The skirmish was costly for both sides, more so for the Crimson Arms who had lost nearly two thirds their men, they had however managed to repulse the HRA, preparing for the siege to come, many more peasants and other undesirables join their ranks, as they prepare for a last stand.
