- The Skirmish started with the former bodyguard of Thibault Anzey, escaped his prison after being tortured and eyes burned out, by Timothy Gutlans. He was found somewere beaten, weaken and in bad shape, by Willaim Le Jay, a Dragonfell Sergeant, who toke him to the dragonfell castle. There he was allowed by the knight protector Sebastian, to stay until recovered.
A day later Lady Cherise, arrived to the castle and gave him her own protection and premission to stay. Few days later Timothy Gutlans, heared about it and arrived at the Dragonfell border demanding Alan turned over for crimes of rebellion. Yet he was denied by Sebastian, who was at the scene stating Alan was punished for his crimes, and should not be punished anymore.
Tension became very high as the dicussion kept going, eventually lady Cherise arrived, and tried aswell as Sebastian, the swadians weren't going to turn him over. Yet that led Timothy Gutlans to provoke Lady Cherise, and despite several warnings to return to his side of the border, he kept provoking her.
it led to Lady Cherise, drew her sword and chased Timothy Gutlans into Rhodok, and manage to knock and sever wound her. With the swadian guard's dragging her back and to a surgeon, and was treated.
It did not take long before Lord Thibault Anzey, became aware of the situation and invited the swadians to the negoiation table in the rhodok castle. With a detachment of nords, dragonfell, sirmen, and city guards, the delegation rided to the rhodok city. The detachment was kept outside. The rest of the head figures Lord Thibault Anzey, Timothy Gutlans, Lady Cherise, Jarl Swentibold, Captain Samantha Yusuf, and Sebastian, went inside to negoiate.
The talkings went on for hours, with each side, claiming the other had broken the peace, with both sides struggling finding a agreement, the negoiation became more hostile, as subject changed, which eventually led to Lord Anzey Thibault throwing the swadians out of the negoiation table, with lord Thibault Anzey demanding Alans turn over within seven days, yet refusal of handling over Timothy Gutlans. Sebastian became fed up with the Rhodok stubburness, rided out with a a solid grip on his hilt, with the swadians outside the castle, leaving Thibault Anzey, and Sebastian, Sebastian pointed out he had seven days to turn over Timothy Gutlans, which was again refused. Later as the Swadians was talking outside the rhodok fired warning shots. The swadians backed off behind a hill. And started to dicuss if or not to withdraw.
However the rhodoks was right behind them, and follow them and was less then 100 meters from the swadian detachment, fired another warning shot. Lady Cherise had enough and ordered the detachment to fire back. The rhodoks retreated inside of their castle, with the swadians waiting outside, a massive back and forth firing with arrows and bolt accured. Eventually Knight Protector Sebastian, decided to pull back behind the mountains and wait for the Rhodoks to come out.
The rhodoks rided out to see if it was true they had withdraw yet it became clear they weren't The swadian answered back with a cavalry charge led by Sebastian, which led to alot of disorganized rhodok infantry locked out of the castle. As the cavalry, withdraw swadian, and nordic troops appeared on the mountain not far from the rhodok castle and started firing on their walls with Jarl Swentibold observing and commanding the fire.
As Sebastian rided along the mountain he noticed rhodok horsemen in back of the castle ordered a few men to follow and ambushed them, which led to a small fight, and the capture of Lady Semiramis, and a beaten Robert Whitefield, laying on the ground. With this capture Sebastian rided back, as the fighting nearly became a siege as swadian infantry had made it to the castle walls, Sebastian rided out to inform Lord Thibault Anzey, he indeed have captured Lady Semiramis.
Lord Thibault Anzey, replayed that he would come out peacefull to negoiate peace terms, as both forces was held back. Sebastian rided out to meet Thibault Anzey in the middle. It was then agreed to exchange Lady Semiramis for Timothy Gutlans, and the recall of the rhodoks claims on Alan. Lady Cherise got what she wanted, and the swadians rided back, to their part of the region.
