2nd of Morning Star

"In the centre of town," the guard who escorted the Lord barked. "Don't get your hopes up, by the way - we don't take kindly to you pretentious Hunding folks."

5th of Morning Star

"Your surrender and direct removal from this fort," the Lancer shouted back. "As I told your brutish friend over there, you can either leave on your own accord, or we will remove you by force."

12th of Morning Star

(You'd be surprised what a thousand men can do against townsfolk, Harry)

"Oh, I believe I hold all the cards here!" the man shouted, placing a crooked dagger on the old man's throat.

7th of Sun's Dawn

(I'm grouping all these "units" of 40 into one full unit of 1200 for simplicity's sake as well as yours, as otherwise your army would be decimated right now)

Hegathe's infantry was met with what appeared to be eight hundred Pikemen up on the wall. The commander of Craester's Arm's forces had been wise to put them there; the discipline and coordination of the defenders prevented the attackers from managing to get a foothold on the wall, and thus Hegathe's troops hardly stood a chance. In the ensuing battle, the Pikemen on the wall lost a mere fifteen men - while successfully fending off no less than 298 of Hegathe's infantry.

The archers had little added effect; firing up on soldiers on a wall, they were in a tough position to effectively battle the pikemen on the wall, and in total they managed to take down no more than six of the defenders.

In the meantime, Craester's Arm's own archers popped up on the towers to return fire. They numbered a mere hundred, and Hegathe's archers were in loose formation, but they did have the height advantage; they managed to take down seven of the attackers.

12th of Sun's Dawn

Anticlere was a town in a hilly area, without the protection of a stone wall. It was compensated, however, with a sturdy-looking wooden palisade, as well as wooden spikes jutting out from a ditch surrounding the town. Town guards were visible on the palisade, moving about in preparation of the expected assault.

Back in Daggerfall, only two of the scouts sent to Rye Castle returned. They spoke of crazed bald men with long beards, who attacked them as soon as they discovered their presence.
