(@Red: Well there are 200 of them, but militias as inherently pretty poor fighters, with poor equipment and training.

@Maxi: You can't auto win to such a degree. As soon as the Baron declined the offer he would have expelled the Ra Gada soldiers that had been there from his town. He wouldn't let them stay there after telling their leader no, as he would no doubt expect an attack and thus prepare to defend themselves. They are no fools and certainly not such pushovers.)

The surprised attack from the villagers had managed to take out a small number of soldiers before they formed the phalanx. However, the militia had trapped the Imperium soldiers, having attacked from the rear, the front and the flanks of the army when they rushed out. But because of the defensive formation they weren't really effective at taking out the enemy soldiers and were mostly just keeping them busy for the time being.

"Shields!" The Crowhaven captain ordered and his men outside the manor raised their shields to protect agains the enemy arrows. In response he ordered some of his own archers to fire back, but msot aimed at the horse archers that had appeared.

The Lady wasn't on full display, she was no idiot, so while the bolts did break through the glass she merely side-stepped out of the way and most of the bolts just lodged themselves into the wall of her room.

Korst walked over to Igna and ordered his men to push her down, laying her head on the chopping block. The king, holding Craven's Bane in his hand, turned to the crowd and addressed them. "Thane Igna, for your crimes of high treason against the Kingdom of the Old Holds and its king, I sentence you to death. Let all other traitors know the fate that awaits them should they not surrender to me!"

Baslod rushed forward, trying to stop the execution, but two Old Holds berserkers grabbed him and held him in place. "Igna!" He yelled, distraught at seeing his foster mother in such a situation.

Korst looked down at Igna and told her. "Send your ex-husband my regards." He then swung Craven's Bane down with both hands and struck the old thane in the neck, chopping off her head.

West Guard was losing the battle down in the town square, their soldiers falling to the enemy. However, they did manage to take some foes with them to their graves.

On the walls, one of the ladders was pushed down by the defenders.

They spotted Cynric's location after he shot another bolt, which hit one of the guards in the leg. "Rebels are attacking from that building."

However, the men couldn't leave their post. The Lord Captain had ordered them to guard the barracks and they weren't going to disobey his direct orders. For now they retreated inside the barracks to escape fire from the rebels. They dragged the injured and the dead guard inside and regrouped, as they didn't know how many rebels were in the building.
