The Second Battle of Thurnon (Prelude)

Military: Battle

454KS
8/4

With their scouts having discovered an unsecured entrance to the network of sewers and floodwater channels below Thurnon, Lady Ophelia Foxworth-Hayford led a party to infiltrate the city under cover of night, to throw open the North-Western gate and allow her husband's army to storm the city with as little bloodshed as possible.
She was accompanied by the members of Sola's Vanguard, except for ser Prestan Greydall, who had been called back to The Peak where the remainder of his house had declared for King Tyon I Cray.
The party was successful in infiltrating the city, however the garrison of the gatehouse raised the alarm before they could capture the gate mechanism, and in the ensuing fighting Lady Ophelia took a crossbow bolt to the shoulder. Nonetheless, the gatehouse was seized and the gate opened for the army to advance.
