Myland Flannister goes away, crying, along with the entire family of Flabbisters.
"You shall stay with my Daughter Alyssa and be kind to her, In the meantime I have plans to join House Tyrell and House Baratheon together." Replied Jon Tyrell
House Tarly, Oakheart, Fossoway, Leygood, and Florent all marched to the aid of their liege lord with a total of 24,000 soldiers. The other Vassals disobeyed and readied their armies quite close to old town. Wither/Nizhul (12700073) (sorry I took so long just so much going on at once.)
The great army halted before the great rock and surrounded it. A good many numbering 10,000 turned off the main group and marched on Lannisport bearing their banners high. If one looked close, that of some stormland houses and riverland houses where among them. They setup for an attack. The main army at the rock set up trebuchets and catapults as well as balista. The same happened at Lannisport but with siege towers with them. These vassals meant business, that could be seen.
By the end of the battle of the beaches, 730 knights, 1340 foot, 100 pikes, and 35 archers remained of the Lannister landing part. Among the dead was 536 of the Iron born attackers and the vast majority of the three vassals troops. Some put the count at 3-7 thousand men. The army went forth quickly and ladders where thrown up as well as grappling hooks. Iron Born reavers ascended the wall as if it was what they had been training for their whole life. Ladders on the south end of the wall where all thrown off killing many of them but the east end, the battle fared well. A foothold on the wall formed.
The battle by sea took a turn for the worst. The Iron men could not sustain their push and were forced to retreat into the hollow shell of water they had left in their wake. 6 captured Redwyne vessels with them pulled back. Redwyne ships, spared from the fighting of the Iron born, sailed to the aid of their flagship which was doing quite well against the two. Though it lacked in size, its crew where much better than that of the two lannister ships and was fully stocked on weaponry. The golden hammer was lite ablaze along with the other smaller ship. Most of the original Redwyne ships coming to defend where beaten back but the arrival of those on the front gave fresh courage to the shipsand they began beating back the Lannisters with superior numbers. The Iron men would not abandon their allies so easily though and curled around toward the rear flank, poised and ready to smash the rebel alliance.
The Crakehalls defeat was not taken lightly by the lord. He himself and 100 heavy horse and 500 infantry, 200 being household knights, came against the force of cavalry and utterly wiped them out. They lost 30 of their heavy horse and 128 of their infantry.

Before the siege could commence arrows rained down on those who manned the catapults and trebuchets, fired from arrow slits and high above in alcoves and crenallations archers hid firing their loads. The Rock itself had it's own defenses at the very top although it was not accurate catapults situated at the peak of Casterly Rock unleashed stone, rock and ore upon those below the aim not being to accurately smash enemy siege weaponry but rather shatter their lines and cause disarray. To add to the chaotic spree of siege weapons were the scorpions and spitfyres, ballista. They were placed less low but had the same goals of spreading panic in the lines of the enemy.
Marksmen attempted to spy the banners of the houses on the field of battle. Which would they see?
At Lannisport it was much of the same with siege weapons attempting to halt the advance of soldiers, arrows followed. Men of the city were rallied to fight in defense for if the city was taken, it would be sacked and their houses burned and gold stolen. How many would be counted up as levies? Also a figure of the city-watch of Lannisport would be nice.
The Lannister host at the beach continued taking prisoners? Would any lords, heirs, household knights be taken captive? The wounded would be focused upon. Camps were set about while Lord Payne and his own men lead the attack upon Fair Isle among the ironmen.
The last of the remaining Lannister ships pushed their way to the Redwyne flagship. Nothing mattered aside from reaching it, the first five may have fallen but the flagship was weakened now and Lord Redwyne would Hear me Roar.
With Lord Broom's death his own family, his son a burly knight without a leash, lead up household knights and summoned levies to attack Crakehall Castle. This would take time but the Crakehall's would pay.
As of now Tybolt wondered where the Hightowers, Cuys and Costaynes were.....and the Tyrells too. Before donning his war arms he wrote a letter to Jon Tyrell and a seperate to Tyland warning of what was happening at the Rock. The letter to Tyland explicitly detailed that if Lord Jon were to discard support of House Lannister that he solemnly slay him and his brother, though this letter used a certain code of word-play making it extremely hard to understand to the typical commoner.

They would see banners of all the rebelling vassal houses as well as that of some minor houses of the riverlands and the tully's themselves. Some stormland vassals, 2 in total, where present. Although the rocks and bolts did some to slow the army, the catapults of the attackers renewed their courage. Seeing the massive boulders which crashed into the rock sending shale and stone every filled them with zeal as the soldiers brought forth a mighty covered ram. It was manned by over 100 men who heaved back its heavy trunk and steel cap. At the captains command it was brought down upon the gate with a heavy thud that resounded throughout the tunnels of the rock. Again the ram was brought back and slammed into the gate sending small splinters of wood shooting in at the defenders inside. The gate would not hold long to this behemoth.
Lannisport fared worse than the rock. Though the call for levies went out, few joined out of fear that they would die. Stupid commoners, they die either way. Never the less, the 3000 members of the city guard and 1200 civilians who joined the defense would take the walls valiantly and watch as their siege equipment obliterated 2 catapults before one was hit with a trebuchet shot. A ram was brought forth and the siege towers rolled forward loaded with me. They would be on the walls in minutes.
Around 134 prisoners where taken. Most where minor levies but a few knights. N lords where to be seen nor their sons or important vassals. The Iron men had taken the eastern wall now and fought their way through heavy battle towards the south to help their comrades who still had not had a successful ladder yet.
The redwyne flag ship sailed directly toward the lannisters with several ships on its flanks. Once in range, their spytfires and scorpions rained hell on the lannisters ship and its mast was caught ablaze. If the ship men worked fast enough, they might be able to save the rest of the ship. The Lannister fleet was severely weakened but not all hope was lost. From the rear flank came the krakken which unleashed hell upon the rear flank and boarding longboats easily slipped in to board the distracted Redwynes. The battle by sea was nearing an end.
The Lord Crakhall had beat the son to it. His army, though it was small, was already marching soon to be joined by more of his men along the way.
The Hightowers, Cuys, and Costaynes where camped at a ridge just outside the Westerlands waiting for their liege lord. Infighting occurred in the camp after news of the Redwyne's rebelling came.

The ram would face difficulty seeing that the Lion's Mouth was up a vast yet large causeway enough for twenty mounted knights to ride up abreast (WIKI) and that passage was open to directed arrow fire. The weapons continued flying, arrows, rocks, boulders, the works. (You see that bridge?) And if the ram was brought up rocks would begin to fall upon it, arrows aimed at the carriers and flaming torches were tossed down too. Aside from this all the portcullis would be restricting immediate passage with it's thick steel barring the wooden gate behind. It would have to be smashed to pieces or melted down however both cases would cost time for the invaders.
Fiery arrows released from the walls of Lannisport unto the siege towers, it took more time but it was worth it. The fire was directed at the wooden weak spots. Spears, swords, and levies lined the walls and more at the gate. Unlike the Rock, Lannisport's gate was huge but had no portcullis instead iron bolting which had rusted over time, a fatal flaw.
Curses rang the fields as no prisoners of high birth were found. Many convinced they had fled the field or not even participated. But if there were so many soldiers on the field, a highborn officer was obviously here too. If he wasn't on the field he had fled somewhere. Heads turned to Fair Castle and the battering ram, a golden lion with unleashed claws and razor teeth hidden beneath a wooden longship. The remaining Lannister-men carried the battering ram toward Fair Castle to join with Lord Payne.
That Lannister ship attempted to save it's self, rushing away but it proved its worth as the distraction took place while it was fired upon the others came....
Jason knew it was life or death. He would die if he fled with the remaining ships, the Redwyne's would rape his corpse as it floated upon the sea before returning to the Father. His last ships, ten in total most were galleys and dromonds yet two were acclaimed longships of Lannisport. "WE DIE IN THE SEA AS COWARDS!" he screamed aloud to the last of his men, them demoralized after the loss of the captain (Lord Larry) and so many other sailors. "OR WE DIE ON OUR DECKS WITH SWORDS IN THEIR GUTS AND ROARS IN OUR THROATS!" he intoned shouting as he pointed his sword towards Lord Redwyne's ship and the ten lionships advanced without rest. Without caution. Hurtling like whales toward the flagship. Survival wasn't an option. It was only death. Jason wouldn't be surprised if he did die. But he would rather have Redwyne's bastard head at his boots before he was slain than to be floating with the Drowned God. In haste all ships rushed forward with the obligation of naval-ramming the enemy flagship. Would all fail and Lannister meet with the ironborn god or should by miracle the skirmish against Lord Redwyne take place in history?
Crakehall's men may have been moving yet the new Lord Broom still had time or was fate for the rebels this day?
Bloody Reach-men.

With the 24,000 Bannerman (Though I have no idea what they are) and 5,000 Men at arms, 400 Knights, 350 Heavy Cavalry, 1000 Light Cavalry , 600 Pikemen and 500 Archers. Gremont Tyrell marched upon Casterly Rock.
Ask why nothing happens on Infernal RP. Ask it, seriously.

ASuuuure, it's not like you guys RP here now.
Because with only being able to have my phone and not knowing what happened to people like mass and arak, I cannot run the rp we had panned. It depended heavily on having the dms acting as a guide (me) and evil people (the other dms).
(Sorry I didn't look anything up on the wiki cause I don't have the time for it since iphones are slow.)
The men pulling the ram worked hard. Boulders slowed its advance even more and parts of it igniting in deadly flame did not help either. In the end, the ram reached the gate but not after a good long while of being beaten senseless. It began bashing the metal portcullis which put up a good fight but began to be dented and breaking at the joints. Arrows and rocks killed many of the attackers.
3 of the siege towers burned sending the men on them scrambling for their lives. The rest, 4 in total, hit the walls and dropped a hard iron gate which broke the rock beneath it. Before soldiers charged, a rain of heavy crossbow bolts issued forth allowing holes to be made in the hard line of soldiers. The men in the towers rushed forth bringing death to the men on the walls. The gate lasted for a good long while as the ram was not nearly as great as the one bashing the rock but signs of breaking could be seen and the gate would soon come down.
The battering ram made quick work of the gate at fair castle but behind the gate, the advancing armies met heavy resistance of fighters who at first held the lannisters at bay. The battle on the wall took a deadly turn as the Iron born numbers on the wall waned. The soldiers suppose to be deployed by the lord greyjoy had not landed yet and the small number of Ironborn became heavily taxed although they had won the wall.
By a miracle of perhaps because the wind was on their side, the lannister ships sunk the great redwyne flag ship but the lord redwyne escaped on one of the small vessels which liked the lannister ships and sent many to their graves. The Redwyne fleet pulled back, unable to fight with the iron born and lannister ships.
(I'll do losses from both sea and land battles after the land one is complete.)
The Lord Crakehall marched on the broom hold-fast but wouldn't arrive in full force for some time.
The continuation of bolts, rocks and boulders fell upon the insurgents with striking and swiftness. Casterly Rock would not fall, today. More archers lined their positions as the ram was being brought down whilst the Lion's Mouth was not piled against or given barricades. Horsemen, cavalry all awaited behind the Lion's Mouth.
Lannisport was unfortunate in the other cases. It's gate was tossed with wood and anything to hold back the invaders. The spears and swords upon the walls met the resistance with steel and iron. While the city itself unleashed catapult rocks and fiery arrows and bolts by archers and spitfyres and ballista and scorpions. Pikes lined the gatehouse while oil was prepared from the death holes.
Lord Payne and his own seasoned veterans entered the fray slashing down with sword and axes against the Farmans and their allies. The remaining Lannister-men followed him with hearty cries.
The sinking of the Redwyne ship brought the promise of life to Jason and his comrades hope. The last ten ships pushed after Lord Redwyne's own ship and the last of the Redwyne fleet. Signals went to the Krakken and the Ironborn reavers to push them toward Fair Isle where they would have to risk foundering or fight back. If Lord Redywne was captured then the remaining Arbor ships would surrender to.
((Kk))
The Broom's held their fortress where modern day Clegane's Keep which was north of Crakehall Castle yet far between the woodlands. The levies sired by the new Lord Borros Broom brought to training in these woodlands with bow and arrow, as all heavy horse were slain only infantry and archers and spears remained. When the Crakehall's were sighted the men would be prepared at Broom's Keep.

The portcullis broke with a mighty ringing as the metal fell onto the stone below. Cheers came up from the men in the ram and they continued to bash on the now weakened and exposed gate. [
Lannisport fared horridly. Soldiers of the rebels poured in but eventually, quantity over came the quality of the Lannister guard and they broke their lines. A slaughter followed, the city was brutally sacked with no mercy shown. Each street ran red with the blood of soldiers and civilians, fire poured out great plumes of smoke into the sky choking the air. On the walls, the same happened. Demoralized and their pride wounded, the soldiers and civilians could attempt to escape out of another gate or retreat to some hold fast where they could attempt to hold.
The castle began to fall from the pressure at the gate and walls. It was a costly battle but the Lannisters and Krakken seemed to have the day won. The Iron born reinforcements fro the battle at sea came allowing, bolstering the iron born numbers again.
The pursuit of the retreating redwynes did not go as planned when the redwynes decided to use one of their perfectly fine ships as a fire ship to cover their retreat. It sailed into the 10 lannister ships lighting 6 of them ablaze and several of the Iron borns vessels as well where caught. The Iron born decided not to follow the retreating Redwyne vessels and instead sent their reinforcements to the Island and landed at the docks.
The army continued to march on the Broom keep but was held up by a rain shower that made the roads muddy and baggage carts and catapults stuck. It slowed their army enough to give the brooms more time. /i]

Archers and piles prepared inside the Lion's Mouth while the oil was waiting. The barrages of rocks, boulders and bolts and arrows focused back on the enemy army and it's huge lines. The Rock would not so easily fall.
Lannisport's last holdfast, the Gold Fort once a wooden keep and hall grown with trade and time into the great castle that defend the harbor. It's position made it unavailable to defend against a land attack but it was built in defense against Ironborn reavers during the Age of Kings. Trade skiffs, galleys, rickety boats and dilapidated row-boats and longships carrying more people than could possibly be thought fled from the streets in horror of the destruction of their beautiful city on the Sunset Sea. There it was that the last of the Red Cloaks (as they were known) and the Lannisport military gathered to hold. The curtain wall was small compared to the city's wall however the inner and outer-walls were taller providing a range for the archers to fire on men if they attempted to breach it. The three gates leading into the inner-wall and keep itself were known as: Wood, iron and steel. The first defending the curtain wall was solid oakwood. The second holding passage to the outer-wall was built of a mixture of oak from the Stormlands, iron bolts and ironwood from Deepwood Motte. The last held the Keep's privy and was a combination of two portcullis thick and tough merged together, if one broke the other held. And arrow slits between the steel bars allowed for fire straight at the attackers faces. Yet even with such a castle men cowered and ran from it toward the insurgents crying for their mother's and daughter's, pleading for mercy. A sad tale was the Sacking of Lannisport.
In the end Lord Payne burst through into the Fair Keep with his own warriors and took all those who manned it to the grave or as prisoners. How many highborn lords, heirs, sons and daughters would be taken and the lesser question....own many losses?
The last four Lannister ships remained afloat, meeting with the one who had been burning to repair it. The Battle of the Sunset Sea it was called. The Lannister's attacked from the south, Ironborn from the north and west. Redwyne's fled to the east. They would NOT return to the Arbor lest going back past Fair Isle or the long way around which was impossible since most supplies were gone. Ships that had been boarded and captured were taken to the docks for refitting.
Broom' straps set in place.
Then it was heard. "da-DAAAA"
"da-DAAAAAAAAA"
"da-DAAAAAAAAAAA"
And from the northern hills 1,000 Knights and 2,000 heavy horse with Lord Lydden poured toward the Rebellious Host attacking Casterly Rock and Lannisport. Those 10k at Lannisport's would have sustained casualties and be filling into the city while those at the Rock were mainly focused on it. This distraction was paired with another Lannister horn from the top of the Rock echoing through the mountain. From the peasants gate by the bay's of the slumbering lion of rock flung open revealing 1,000 more Knights and double that in assorted cavalry with even more thunderous infantry. Though the peasants gate was far from the main force it was aimed towards Lannisport and that was the target. ((If you think this is powergaming read back 2-4 pages. I foreshadowed the two gates being shut before the host arrived and when rumors were heard I sent Lord Lydden (or someone) with cavalry up to the Riverroad to wait until the host passed and attacked. Note: My numbers may be off.))

Horns of the tyrells were heard from Casterly Rock, The banners holding the golden rose flew in the wind. From their front marched Gremont Tyrell, Donning iron plated armour. He had a grim look on his face, unhappy to be fighting for the lannisters.
((Its all good I remember.))
With the blast of horns, the ramming stopped and the rebel armies turned to face their opponents. Battle lines, made hastily, where smashed by the incoming horse. They plowed through the army before eventually being stopped deep inside. Infantry and knights hacked and slashed their way at the rebel army making great headway. The day was far from over however and the Lord Reyne, Tully, and Tarbeck and beckoned forth leading the heavy cavalry and light cavalry. They wheeled around their host and would slam into the Lannister rear. A great many of the rebels where slaughtered during this, a good move by the Lannisters though they were still outnumbered.
At Lannisort, the army flooding inside the city halted and turned to face the new foe. They made battle lines and worked their way further into the city to easily defend against the incoming horse. Battle insued and a great many of the rebel attackers where slain by the heavy horse but horses don't do quite well in a city and eventually, the butchery reverses on the Lannister assailants. A great many where slain on both sides this day...
Lord Beesbury was found with a valiant group of soldiers and the Lord of faricastle. The other rebel lords where counted among the dead...
The Lord Greyjoy felt his wound and stuck his finger in it. "Dammed redwyne archers. Sticking me with an arrow like that. Get us ashore, We gotta pick up our other men." The men next to him helmped him up and carried him below deck where he could receive medical treatment. Infection was highly possible due to poor medical practices and being at sea and all. The Lord greyjoy could survive but it would be interesting to sea what would happen if he died.
Losses from the Battle of Isle and Sea.

Gremont Tyrells force would march to Lannisport, A messenger would be sent to Casterly Rock to send a raven to the forces at Lannisport, Telling of the Arrivement of the Tyrell Army.
The raven is shot down. One does not simply send a raven over a brutal battle field. A Force breaks of the casterly rock army after the arrival of the Tyrell force. It numbered only a few thousand under the Tyrell force but they would take up the rear flank of the army that was to resume its sack of the city of Lannisport.
