The Devien siege continues. No enemy presence reported from Loure. Active enemy castle (4) in Portage, containing a full garrison of infantry (8 units).

The Bhaine force occupies the province and guards the approaches to Seasdeep (but does not enter the province).

The Seamist force sits idle in the captured castle. Roesone forces arrive.

WM 2 begins

Orders remain in place, additionally :
forces in Bhaine are ordered to prepare military encampment for winter
Iron order units will move from Seamist to Devien, joining the siege

ooc :
in which turn may I do expect the news about Boer units deep in Avanil reaches Devien? I do expect that in such twist of situation Baron will try to contact both Diem and Aubrae ...

WM 2: Passes without incident.

WM 3: A letter Duchess Aubrae reaches your camp; warning that Marquis Moergan is in Daulton with a massive army (whihc could help explain why you've met no real resistance, onyl castles and low-quality infantry) and that Prince Avan is trapped within. She has urged Diemed and Ghieste to send a relief force, but she is not hopeful.

WM 4: Begins

Orders for generals are :
Aerthur Welling - keep the siege, restrain enemy from moving to Southern Taeghas and Avanil
Tael Brosuine - keep an eye on Seasdeep, prepare for winter and help the units in Devien if needed
Tael Brosuine is put in command of the whole force in case unexpected situation arises

Baron, in his shining armor, then holds a speech to his generals and lieutenants :
In the time of war, the periods of quietness and lack of action are always foreshadow of bad news and storm. Now, a storm hit hard our friend and ally, prince Avan. I recently got a news that enemy in great numbers laid siege on Daulton. It seems to me we're the only force near to respond, so we have to act. Our victory here means nothing in case Daulton falls. I fear that even if we abandon the positions we won here fully, our numbers will be too small to break the siege. So I'll assembly smaller (and faster) force instead, to disrupt enemy suppy lines and buy some time for our allies. We're leaving as soon as possible in a hope we will soon return with victory in our hands. Cuiraecen bless us all.

Task Force Daulton leaves Devien to Seamist, Nentril, Duriene, Bhrein and Caulnar as fast as possible. The goal is to disrupt enemy supply lines and help allied units. Avoid battle with stronger enemy if possible.

Baron also sends a dispatch to Aubrae before his departure:
"Your Highness,
I'm taking some cavalry to Caulnar in a hope to create havoc in the enemy lines and (possibly) join allied relieve force. Any possible help is welcome.
Aruvor Raemel, Black Baron of Roesone,
Soldier of Cuiraecen"

On WM 4 the mounted army heads back towards the Heartlands. It will take them some time to reach Daulton - to get there they must cross the Seamist mountains.

Baron is considering the possibility to divide his cavalry contingent at some point ... to do this, he'll need another field leader (even if it means field promotion). As he's with the troops for some time already (+/- 3 months or so), he might already find someone suitable for this task ... ?

The mounted force pass into Seamist province and start the arduous climb across the Seamist Mountains.

Poor weather in the mountains delay the advance somewhat, but by the end of WM 5 the troops have reached Nentril and are ready to strike out across the plains of northern Avanil - much better terrain for cavalry than the Seamist mountains.

The cavalry army now belongs in the Avanil thread, not this one.

Nothing much happens in Bhaine. Brosuine has the enemy bottled up - but not under siege.
