*Ure absorbs the blast and slices the Death Star in two with his fingernail*
OOC: Indeed.
*The front ranks are once again devastated. The rest of the Dunlendings withdraw slightly, solidify their phalanx, and advance again, keeping the Bree Guardsmen at pike range, and smashing many.*
*The first few swordsmen to reach the top are knocked back. As arrows rarely smash, however, some of the wounded men manage to haul themselves over the wall and attack the archers, allowing more to ascend. The heavy armour of the Guzar swordsmen helps significantly with this.*
*The archers, once the swordsmen have made it over, give a shout. The front rows of archers then pull out daggers, and engage the swordsmen in melee.*
*The Guardsmen continue to fight the front ranks, until they are defeated. Upon hearing the shout, all Guardsmen pull back. A few stay at the entrance to the half-built fortress, regroup, and await the advance of the pikemen. The majority of the Guardsmen head into the fortress and charge into the flanks of the swordsmen, catching them off-guard.*
*The swordsmen fight with everything they have.* The pikemen continue to advance, pushing deeper into the fortress.*
*The two trebuchets, which cannot be moved anywhere fast, are easily felled and their crews scattered. As they can no longer fire on the wall without hitting the Guzar Swordsmen, the Elite Archers hurry into the gate, which is somewhat clear due to the Bree Guardsmen being pushed back. The Battering and siege rams are pulled in behind them.
The Mangonel and onagers are pulled back (not all the way yet, as they take time to move) though one onager is damaged and incapable of firing. The Guzar Swordsmen hasten their climbing of the ladders. The Guzar Archers, on the other hand, are thouroughly routed; their ranks are broken and scattered, many being smashed by the mammoths.*
OOC: The Elite archers going into the fortress would be partially nulled, due to my last post. I think some of them would have gotten through, but then the rest would have run into my Bree Guardsmen as they pulled back.
*The Mammoths continue to chase after the remaining siege engines and Guzar archers, smashing any they run into.*
*The rest of my troops do not follow the mammoths, but instead head towards the castle quickly, in a loose formation.*
OOC: Hmmm. Your Bree Guardsmen are being kept at pike-range and getting smashed; sure they'd have the sense to retreat. I mean, they might just stay there and get smashed, but I think enough of them would be smashed by now that the others would full back, allowing the Hamat Shields and Javelins to advance fully into the fortress, and allow the Elite Archers to follow.
*The Mammoths are successful.*
*The Elite Archers in the rear release a few arrows into their ranks.*

Right, what's going on here? I've read through the whole topic and still don't know too well
You have the remnants of 500 MWE inside a half-built castle, taking heavy losses, I have something-MWE pushing into the castle, both with ladders and through the gateway. You have something-bigger-MWE attacking me from behind.

How many siege weapons do you have here?

These troops should have been intercepted but I'm till waiting for my kind compatriot to move them
In the mean time, the ford across the Glanduin has a small force of 500 MWE of Breelanders there. Care to share your troop list? I'll put mine here once I know yours

Theoretically, I could avoid your forces simply by moving around you - if not, I feel like that's really against the RP rules but ok.
What are your fortifications? After I know what kind of fort they're in, then I'll share my troop list.

They've been sitting at the fords for ages prior to this So no, you can't go around them regardless of whether it is against the rules or not
Erm, I could say they built fortifications while they were waiting due to boredom, but tbh, they haven't

IC: *The Sleds split into two groups that go wide around the sides of your army. With them are 2 mammoths each* *The other mammoths are on the other side of the ford, waiting a ways back*
