Battle of Crawfords Pass

Preface:

The Donetski Army was marching towards the Trade City of Mocow with the intent on bringing High Merchant Dianna to justice for her crimes against them. However, they had to pass through the narrow valley known as Crawfords pass. As they were passing through, in the middle of the valley stood the main army of Mocow.

Parley:

Captain Davos rode out under the flag of Peace to meet and parley with the leaders of Donetski. Both sides attempted to get the other to stand down and leave the battlefield but neither backed down. Both groups went back respecting each others conviction.

Battle Starts:

Led by Warmaster Murzak Gar, the Gold Company began its charge towards the Mocowan Infantry line. The Mocowans released volley upon volley of arrows at the incoming army managing to pick off troops here and there. Then the infantry clashed into each other, both sides fighting with all their might.

Barry shows himself:

Just then an army of cavalry appeared at the rear of the Donetski forces. However, thanks to Maltheus keen perceptions he managed to spot and warn the Reldsmen of the incoming cavalry and brought his troops to face them before they got devastated from behind. Using his quick wits, Maltheus managed to use his spearmen to fight off the cavalry, forcing them to retreat.

A fight to the last man:

The Gold Company is renowned for its immensely well trained fighters, is said to be able to win a fight even at 2:1 odds. That day they proved that they could stand their ground against forces much stronger than them, but only just. Both sides fought till the bitter end, with almost all of the Golden Company ending up dead. However the arrival of the Warg Riders and the Knights of Erzoths cavalry pushed the tide and they won the battle. Captain Davos was captured, but before that he managed to defeat four of the 10 soldiers sent to capture him.

Outcome:

The Mocowan main army was defeated along with their cavalry force. Captain Davos was captured by the Donetskians. The Gold Company was defeated and had to cancel their contract and return to their base, severely weakening the Donetski army.
