Bittersteel employs unorthodox tactics by instead of charging into the fray to reinforce his own men, he goes after Stormbreaker's command squad instead, unorthodox, but clever. Balon and Ser Farman joins what little remains of their strength to his. Stormbreaker and his men are caught flat-footed, can they recover?

As far as Balon can tell, things are going exceedingly well. The Stormbreaker lives up to his reputation, enduring blows from Ser Dennis' Valyrian Sword, Ser Patrek champion of House Florent and Ser Ormond Hightower, not quite the equal of those two, but he is one of the swordsmen that Fireball made certain to point out to Balon and instruct him to watch and learn. Stormbreaker's knights, however, are not up to the challenge of Bittersteel's men, not one on one and certainly not when outnumbered as they are, three of them have already fallen.

CD: 13 (17) HP: 12/12 F/I/W: 1/0/0 Superior Long Sword Superior Large Shield Damage/DoS: 6 (8 if charge) ______________________________________________________________________ FA: Will take a Fatigue to ignore AP if attacked. GA: Charge Stormbreaker D11, Scene 5 - Stormchasers, Charge Stormbreaker, 1 Fatigue: 8d6k4+1 14, lolAs Balon and Farman charged in with the remainder of their squads Balon assessed potential targets. Stormbreaker was the greatest threat and Bittersteel's men knew it too as the champion of Brightwater and two Hightowers attacked him. The heir to Storm's End was mauled by Ser Robyn and two others quickly fell to the onslaught. For a moment Balon considered going after Lord Armond's knight (Ser Kyle) but instead he looked to finish off Ser Aerion Baratheon before he could retaliate. Unfortunately getting around the three men attacking Stormbreaker proved near impossible and his charge was easily absorbed. |

Outnumbered Stormbreaker might be, but defeated? Not at all. And very, very dangerous, which he demonstrates by slamming Ser Dennis Hightower, probably the most capable knight on Bittersteel's side so hard that the man is lifted out of his saddle and falls limp to the ground.
I believe that should be 19 with various bonuses, but you'd need 20 to do damage. Symon charges Malcolm: 6d6k3+7 19 2*7-11=3, Malcolm at 9/12 Kyle takes fatigue to ignore AP Jack charges Kyle: 6d6k3+5 19 2*7-10=4, Kyle at 8/12-1 fatigue Dennis takes fatigue to ignore AP Stormbreaker reckless (fatigue to ignore injuries) on Dennis: 11d6k7+6 37 4*10-10=30, Unconscious. Malcolm defensive attacks Symon (LBF I, -2b): 4d6k3+6 14 no damage Kyle defensive attacks Jack: 6d6k3+6 20 3*5-7=8, Jack yields. Kyle takes fatigue to ignore AP Bittersteel charges Kyle: 7d6k4+6 25 3*7-10=11, Kyle at 1/12-3 injuries, 2 fatigue |

Ser Rufus also managed to get out of the pickle and follows Balon.

The Stormbreaker keeps withstanding the barrage he receives, surely almost any other knight would have been felled by now, but even as he slows down, he is still dangerous. Ser Robyn sends Ser Thoren limply to the ground, culling what few men remains of the yellow team to Stormbreaker, Ser Kyle and Ser Malcolm, the Caswell man seems quite resilient for the time being.
Stormbreaker takes fatigue to ignore AP Patrek Aim+Defense (LBF I, -3B): 6d6k4+7 19 2*6-10=2, Stormbreaker at 4/15-5 injuries, 3 fatigue (tough) Ormond Aim+Defensive vs Stormbreaker: 8d6k4+6 26 4*5-10=10, Stormbreaker at 4/15-5 injuries, 1 wound, 3 fatigue (tough) Thoren takes fatigue to ignore AP Farman charges Thoren: 6d6k3+6 21 2*8-10=6, Thoren at 2/12-2 fatigue Raymun aim+attack Thoren: 7d6k4+6 24 3*5-10=5, Thoren at 1/12-1 injury-2 fatigue Rufus charges Malcolm: 6d6k3+7 22 1 DoS, 0 damage Eregar charges Kyle: 6d6k4+4 22 2*7-10=4, Kyle at 1/12-4 injuries, 2 fatigue Owen charges Malcolm: 6d6k3+5 17 0 DoS Robyn charges Thoren: 8d6k4+4 23 3*8-10=14, Thoren is unconscious. Balon is up. |

Hell, he deserved a monument representing the beating he withstood. Now that Balon was more controlled his blow against Stormbreaker was incredibly damaging. |

The Stormbreaker does start to slow down, surely he cannot take much more. And yet Ser Ormond is lucky that his swing was slightly off the mark or he might follow his cousin to the ground. Ser Malcolm fares better, but have taken a less vicious beating. Ser Kyle is done for, however, Bittersteel nearly takes his head.
So that's 4*6-10=14, Stormbreaker takes another wound. Symon aim+attack Malcolm: 7d6k4+7 29 3*5-11=4, Malcolm at 5/12-1 fatigue Stormbreaker takes 2 fatigue to ignore injuries and one wound. Ormond takes fatigue to ignore AP Stormbreaker reckless on Ormond: 11d6k5+1 22 2*10-10=10, Ormond at 2/12-1 fatigue Aim+defensive attack vs Owen(LBF I, -3b): 4d6k3+5 18 2*6-7=5, Owen is unhorsed. Bittersteel takes fatigue to ignore AP Kyle reckless attack on Bittersteel (fatigue to ignore injuries): 7d6k5+3 25 3*5-10=5, Bittersteel at 7/12-1 fatigue Aim+Attack Kyle: 8d6k5+5 29 Kyle burns DP to survive: unconscious. |

Bittersteel does not quite agree with Balon's analysis, instead swatting away Ser Malcolm's sword to force the issue.
Symon Aim+Attack Malcolm: 7d6k4+7 30 2 DoS, 0 damage. Aim+cautious Attack (LBF I-3) Symon: 4d6k3+3 10 Eh. Bittersteel disarms Malcolm: 8d6k5+5 29 Malcolm will take a full round action to yield on his next turn, meaning his opponents are stuck in this thread for a round, he could still be attacked if you really want to, but makes no tactical sense. |

This round: Malcolm yields. Farman, Rufus, Patrek, Robyn, Raymun and Eregar passes. Symon;Bittersteel;Ormond CyB: 4d6+1 17 4d6-1 17 4d6-1 14Malcolm hasn't yielded yet, so Balon can smack him if he likes. Not dishonorable, just not tactically sound. |

From Mass Battle: An officer may as a lesser action make a warfare (command) TN 9 test, granting a number of teammates equal to the DoS scored an assistance bonus on all tests on their next turns, affected characters must be in the same thread when the test is made. Bittersteel 28.3 +3
LA 1: Scene 5, Stormchasers, Warfare (Command) TN9, Assist, 1 Fatigue: 5d6k3+2 16, 2 DoSLA 2: None Balon commanded the Thorne brothers to line up and prepare for Bittersteel's orders. |

Repurposing Bittersteel's roll to Tactics +2b: 2d6 11 So 6d6k4+2 becomes 23, and Command: 6d6k4+2 18 2 DoS +2 TS Everyone in this thread gets +2 to their tests on the next turn. Time to go hunting some White Cloaks. |
