You order your Army to form a defensive square and prepare to repel the attack.

The battle is soon joined as the horsemen officers, with some archers, are being seen leaving the forested area.

5*

From the very start, the battle progresses very well for you. The initial push of the two groups is easily coutnerted and then your men begin to push. You order the rear ranks to split and form on the frontern lines, on the flanks, attempting an engulfing formation.

6*

Within an hour, the Luthian mercenaries are fleeing! Only few of Luthian officers are seen fleeing on their horses, the rest has been killed along with almost half of the mercenary army.

You celebrate with your men this night, having beaten the Luthians again. Your senior officers however, have an idea on mind...

"My lord! We have vanquished many of Luthian forces and captured several cities and are besieging their largest and wealthiest one. Surely we should send an emissary to other Luthian cities and demand their peaceful turnover, lest they wish to bring themselves into worse ruin than they're already are?" Other officers nod and murmur in agreement - it's clear that they would, even if led into glory and victory by you, like to see this campaign concluded and go home.

Recent wars must've tired their spirits.

A) "Truly a splendid idea! Tomorrow, riders will be dispatched with messages to other cities' mayors."
B) "What manner of speech this is?! Be silent, and prepare for more conquering, lest I throw you into shackles!"
C) "No, not yet. We must land the Luthians a truly humilitating defeat - city of Luathbas must fall first!"

This will become a glacier akin to Praef's game.

That glacier age is long gone. The only reason it is slowing down again is because players are being too slow and not eating chili dogs.

Age of Dragon Turtle

or

The Mini Ice Age

then '<.

The envoy leaves with your decision.


And so, the siege of Luathbas continues.


Scout report!

A thousand and half strong body of mercenaries, led by two small regiments of Luthian pikemen, is camping in the far east, about two days travel on foot from Luathbas. They have naught horsemen except few officers.

From south, there's silence, except sporadic mentions of Lametanian banner being spotted on this road or that village.

The officers convene with you about the matter of Luthian Army, and you decide...

A) Leave a third of your forces to continue the siege while you lead your men to crush the Luthians once again.
B) To continue camping; they have neither numbers nor strength to dare challenge us in open battle.
C) Have your horsemen raid their camp and send them fleeing!

10+11 /2 = Up to 10HP healed

10+5 = Up to 15HP healed

You have him brought to your tent.

You offer him him a seat-

2*

You feel a small blade strike you in the back! Then again! And again! You yell for guards as you try to grab your spear and punish the dishonorable dog yourself. He won't get away, you're sure of it even as you fall to the ground, bleeding from your pain-emitting lower body.

You wake up. You're in your tent, that's for sure. A man that you recognize as one of your healers is tending to your bandaged abdomen.

"Greetings, sire. It is utter relief to see your eyes open once again. The wounds have been deep, for such a small blade, but we had them cleaned and bandaged. You have slept for whole yesterday and today's morning also. You mustn't stand up yet. Your officers were furious to learn of the assassination attempt by a man wearing a Scarf of Truce. They had ordered catapults constructed and arrows wrapped in oil-soaked cloth. They prepare to rain hell and brimstone upon the dishonorable dogs of Luathbas."

A) "May the city burn forever."
B) "No burning, only siegeing."

You have about 2200-2500 because I'm feeling generous due to all those nice rolls
