(@Maxi: You can't RP the past to change the outcome of events, Maxi. You've already reached the 28th of Second Seed. You can't backtrack and RP the 26th. How did they even hear of these movements? Unless you had sent spies or scouts to keep watch on the enemy, which you hadn't, you wouldn't know that they are going to attack Fort Bayside until they were within the fort's line of sight on the 30th. Knowing that information beforehand is meta. Fort Bayside's garrison is only 250 during the 30th. While you did send 100 men to there on the 19th, only those from Riverview would have arrived. As the village is only a week away. The 50 from Sentinel would only arrive in the next month.

Currently you have 736 soldiers. 280 are with Cyrus at Fort Ennah, 200 are at Fort Bayside, 50 are heading to Fort Bayside and the remaining 206 are in Sentinel. Of those 736, 215-ish are Ra Gada sailors. 65 of the sailors are either at Sentinel or with Cyrus, since they were called back from Fort Bayside after it was taken. Of the 210 that you received from Riverview: 50 are at Fort Bayside and 160 are still at the village.

Where did those fishing ships come from? If they were at Riverview then I would understand, but Fort Bayside wouldn’t have any fishing ships near it. Or do you mean that the Ra Gada ships are disguised as fishing ships? I don’t see how someone can mistake a warship for a fishing ship…Especially they those fishing ships are suspiciously moving behind them.

PS.: Your Marshal must be there for the soldiers to train. Removing him from the training job cancels that job, and you get no new troops.)

~18th of Second Seed

In their initial attack, the Black Hoods took out 20 bandits in one shot, and injured another dozen. However, there were way more bandits. Most quickly went to defend their comrades as they raided the first warehouse. They didn't attack the Black Hoods because that was not their intention, they came to raid not to fight.

Despite the Black Hoods best efforts, the bandits were still able to load up a few ships with goods and escape. Only around 40 of the initial bandits made it out alive in their ships, carrying around 5k in goods that they stole from the warehouses. A few ships were left behind because the bandits just didn't have enough men to man them.

With 5k in goods stolen, Riften's tax collection would suffer at the end of the month.

The messenger from Anvil arrived in Gweden. After hearing what he had to say, the Lord of the village beat around the bush. He didn't give the messenger a straight answer, as he thought that Anvil would take care of the outlaws either way. He also didn't think trading one bully for another more powerful was a good idea.

The night assault on the fort did gain the Ra Gada an advantage, but with the enemy lookouts around the fort, the bandits weren't so unprepared. They had seen the army coming from a mile away. Cyrus was able to win them the day because he had used the army as a distraction and infiltrated the fort, opening the gates from the inside.

However the assault still had its cost, the bandit archers on the wall had fired down on the charging army and taken out around 60 of their soldiers out before they reached the fort, and Cyrus had all of the unit that he had sneaked into the fort while they held the gate until the army arrived.

In the end, they defeated the 250 defending bandits, but lost 120 soldiers of their own.

More bandits attacked Riften, seeing as the last raid had been a moderate success. They had returned, with only 60 men this time, to raid the docks. Their strategy was the same, attack in the early morning before work started and raid the warehouses.

(@Pacman: You really shouldn't leave your city unprotected. :P)

The archers were able to take out a few, but the cavalry were the ones that did the most damage against the fleeing bandits. They took out 40 men during their charge.

The remaining bandits scattered to the winds.

Lord Dathman and his forces arrive at the designated location northeast of Fort Morvunskar. Haki and his men had already arrived and made camp. The maimed Lord rode into camp and got directions to Haki's tent.
