[DM B]

The Baron would know this:

Seasdeep is renowned as being very defensible (i.e. a good castle - lvl 6 or so). A lengthy siege will be required to take it. Devien should fall more quickly. Next season hopefully.

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

Oops ...
Change of plans then ...

Tael Brosuine will take charge of the Lion contingent to guard back doors to Devien and will stay in Bhaine (Occupy). Rest units will return under command of Baron to Devien and begin siege.

[DM B]

OOC: That sounds more logical...we don't want the baron stuck down in the corner...

Bhaine is well guarded and Devien is put under siege. The enemy cavalry is too weak to even stage raids on you, so it's quite peaceful...

WM 12 (last this turn) begins:

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

Baron sends a few dispatches :
- forces in Bhaine and Seamist are ordered to prepare and strengthen their defensive positions, Tael Brosuine in Bhaine is expected to gather intel about movements on Seasdeep/Bhaine border (avoiding encounters) - just to be warned about possible surprise attacks, as he has no units suitable for scouting deep into enemy territory
- additionally, Aruvor spends some effort (and GB/RP if needed too) to improve logistics and supplements of all the three contingents (Bhaine, Seamist, Devien).
- general Artheuer Welling is asked for intel in loure (using Endier scouts)

Artillerists and engineers in Devien are ordered to build siege engines and begin bombardment of the castle fortifications - if it wasn't done yet.

At last, Baron writes letter to his senior officers, pointing out that any evidence of plunder/robbery against locals should not be tolerated.

[DM B]

Everything proceeds as planned.

The scouts report no enemy presence in Loure.

The turn ends.
