>>5801302>>5801304>>5801424Excellent idea, really excellent. Very wise to have chosen it. You deserve 10xp for this.
>>5802078>>5802374After a small moment of thought you came to an original conclusion. With some luck you could be able to use some ropes, that fortunately Godefroi had taken, and bind your soldiers to them before they swim so the current does not take them.
It was a wonderful idea indeed and after choosing two good men, one of cop's sons and Dummy, one of your most loyal guardsmen.
They managed to cross the river quite efficiently attached their ropes to a tree on the other side of the river. Dummy almost drowned but three men pulled the rope and he began to swim again and managed to get to the other side.Then, using their heavy woodsmen axes they began to try to cut a big tree. It will probably take time so you told Brother Louis, who had ridden all day, to sleep while you began contemplating the river. You thought about your beloved one while some men used the ropes to get to the other side of the river and began to climb the trees to harass the enemy. You wondered if she thought about you, and if she waited to be freed. She probably thought that you will never come in time since she had no means to know that she was abducted. Or maybe in her hearth full of love and poetry she would think that you will help her even without knowing it ? This made you smile, whether she would be expecting you or not you were certain that she wull be full of joy and mirth at your sight, while your enemies will panic.
It was during this meditation that you were disturbed by Godefroi who asked you.
-So, should we fight in armour, or not ?
-We should, we should, in armour yes.
Nodding and understanding that you were thinking about something important, in this case the taste of your lady's lips once you would have saved her. And other interesting attributes, but decency forbids it of saying too much. Of course you would probably not be able to enjoy the carnal company of your lady before marriage but there was nothing wrong in hope ? Isn't it ? You let the river flow a bit much before you heard the sound of a falling tree. With a great splash of water it dammed a part of the river accompanied by the cheers of your men. Well, you only had to wait. You ordered Dummy and his comrade to come back and don their armor, the waiting shall come. With your crossbowmen on the trees on the other bank of the river, two men guarding the horses that will become only one once the fight begins, and the rest of your men around you.
