Preparations[ | ]

Scripted event[ | ]

The first part of the battle is a scripted event.

  • The more groups of supporting troops you can acquire, the more of Lord Gathbin's forces are defeated during the dialogue, and the less you have to fight yourself afterwards. To manage your assault correctly
    • Use Archers against the Bleak Walkers,
    • Ogres against the Battlemages,
    • Crucible Knights / Dozens / Doemenels against Berserkers.
  • This will cause his regulars to flee from battle.
  • Emery, if she's still alive, you managed to impress her during a Return to Court, and you're winning the battle, will join you by betraying Lord Gathbin.

Combat sequence[ | ]

Your party, your hirelings, and many of your soldiers will then face off against Gathbin and his remaining forces in combat.

After the fight, you will be asked to forward some of your tax income to Erl Bademar. If you do so, your tax harvest will be diminished (17.5% of your keep profit every turn will from now on be given to the Earl), but if you object, you will receive Defiance Bay: Extraordinary Negative.
