(@Pelagius: You have currently 989 soldiers at your disposal at the moment. You can easily take the fort. Just don't go marching there with only 50 men, you aren't Ramsay Bolton. 20 good men aren't going to cut it for you. xD

But yeah, you can RP it. I only ever jump in when I feel like I should or when people ask me to.

@Red: That stuff would be expensive.)

The defending archers had the advantage when it came to the exchange of arrows. However the catapults would be able to take them out. The only downside was that in the mountainous terrain they they were in, the catapults were severely inaccurate. Only 1 out of every 5 shots even landed a hit on the watchtowers. But they they landed, they broke the wooden watchtowers' supports and toppled them over.

However as that was going on, the defenders kept firing down on Orsinium's men. The archers focused on the enemy's own archers, who didn't have shields to protect them, and were shot down one after the other.

Inside, the warriors were readying for their turn to fight.

The bandits expected to be under fire again, because of what happened last time, and to counter that they brought with them large wooden defenses that required two men to hold, so they could make a clear path for their raiders to attack a warehouse and return to their ships. Two men would guard each raider from the arrows using this technique. The bandits were able to have less casualties this time because of this.

Dathman had sent the rest of the previous day coming up with a strategy and he thought of a good way to convey it. He had his most trusted lieutenant go with him to the strategy meeting and went over it with him, mostly by writing it down and having him read it over and over again, until he knew it by heart. That way the lieutenant could relay his orders during the battle.

When everything was done, in the morning of the 8th, the combined army of 400 soldiers marched towards the fort to assault it.

As the man approached the fort, he was shot with a ballista bolt and died on the spot.

The men that they could see on the walls of the fort didn't look malnourished, and they still looked aggressive as ever.
