The battle over, the northmen retreat to a predetermined spot, to rest and refit, and take stock of their enormous casualties. Durand Coldwater returns. "The host stopped for a moment; smoke was coming from their town. Might be Ser Titus got to them." He looks grim and bloody. "But it won't keep them away forever."

Benjen nodded, wiping the sweat and dirt from his brow, enjoying a moment of rest. "They'll come for us, and we need to be ready. Fortunately these narrow passes are more in our favour." He inspects the surroundings for a long moment before nodding again.
"The main force will position itself at the center of the pass, up hill. I want archers hidden on the ridges, to fire once the Clansmen are too close to disengage. Once they're out of arrows they can roll some big rocks down." The Prince frowned. "We have limited numbers but I need another ambush from you."

Durand nods. "We can't hold them forever; they are going to bring word of their victory out to all the clans, and when they all rise they're going to have us completely surrounded." He spits. "We need to get word to Eddard's Rest; with Kal Stark gone only Fillmore Corbray or Justin Mallister have a chance at that monster. Lord Royce will mass all Runestone if we make it back to Coldwater and get word out."

"I will send Ser Titus on a ship to Gulltown; sailing will be far quicker than traveling back on land," The Prince said. "As for us... if we can beat them back here we split up into smaller groups and head south."

Durand nods. The forces are aligned in battle array along the mountain passes. Night falls, and nothing happens.

Benjen's scouts come back. The host has moved, but they don't know where. The fires across the valley still burn though. Maybe they went into the caves.

Benjen gives the command to split the army into four small groups and march back to safer territory. He sends a small squad of men to find Ser Titus and tell him to sail of Gulltown. He is to spread news of Draven and his ilk, their ability and to get the Vale to raise more men.
