The Northern host seeks to escape to the nearest castle, which in this case is Coldwater. It has split into four groups to make maneuvering easier.
In response, the clansmen send hundreds of men to rally their brethren with word of their victory, each group with a hundred northern prisoners to be slaughtered. The main body of the host divides into three parts. The Wild One leads the lightest and fastest, mounted on his nimble unicorn. Cassadar takes the archers and others directly east, while the most vicious of them fall under the ruthless Draven's overall command.
The battle will be rolled with a chase for all four parts to the army on the north, and all three on the clans. If the northern armies "hit" their respective armies, they pull farther away, if they are hit, they must fight until a chance to flee presents itself. 5 Rounds will be rolled for each army, or any northern army getting a heavy "hit" escapes.

The chase:
Round 1:
Durand: 115/157 Benjen: 111/92 Krowl: 113/80 Gerold: 186/148
Draven: 179/108 Cassadar: 119/99 Wild One: 154/122
The night is dark and scary and the tension unbearable. In the low visibility, Prince Benjen and Karyl Crowl's troops are both caught in the open, having taken a wrong turn down a mountain pass, and the fight is on.

Round 1: Benjen vs Draven:
Benjen: 156/170 Draven: 120/159
Benjen leads his men, hastily formed into a line, and they repel the first rush of tribesmen, the heir to Eddard's Rest fighting in the center ferociously. As Draven attempts to resort his lines in the night, the northern forces pick a different path and slip away...
North: 510 Draven: 940
Round 1: Crowl VS Cassadar:
Crowl: 165/100 Cassadar: 101/102
Neither Cassadar nor Lord Crowl have much experience leading men, particularly at night, and their brief battle is a violent maelstrom that ends as quickly as it began, as archers from the north suppress the enemy, melting back into the mountains.
North: 480 Cassadar: 880

Chase: Round 2
Durand: 136/120 Benjen: 105/176 Crowl: 155/131 Gerald: 169/138
Draven: 193/116 Cassadar: 173/129 Wild One: 124/117
The north extends its lead on the enemy, as fogs rise and obscure the vast and undefined battlespace.

Round 3:
Durand: 179/157 Benjen: 126/164 Karyl: 147/133 Gerald: 122/163
Draven: 147/123 Cassadar: 110/163 Wild one: 171/110
Round 2: Cassadar and Karyl
Karyl: 113/101 Cassadar: 133/126
Cassadar's men gain an advantage, as the fierce yet single-minded Crowl attempts an awkward and ill-advised attack. The fighting is heavy, but the numbers are stacked far too much against him.
North: 440 Clans: 850

Crowl and Cassadar: Round 3:
Crowl: 147/156 Cassadar: 112/141
Crowl's men are still tougher with their armor than Cassadar's light troops, and his single-minded ferocity forces them to withdraw, while they retreat into the woods, running over the mountains and reforming to continue the mass retreat.
Crowl: 410 Cassadar: 810

Final Round:
Durand: 177 Benjen: 142 Crowl: 101 Gerald: 144
Draven: 152 Cassadar: 101 Wild One: 87
Draven's men catch up with Prince Benjen as the foothills to Coldwater start. The exhausted men on both sides wearily drink the last of their water, eat the last of their food, and raise their blades for one last clash...

Benjen: 164/107 Draven: 176/180
Draven's men, led by the wild-haired, screaming chief, smash the Prince's lines, and many men fall to axe and sword. Benjen fights as valiantly as possible, but his line is in serious danger of total collapse.
North: 430 Draven: 900

Benjen: 120/155 Draven: 178/129
Benjen's men, in sight of home, and the other hosts visible in the distance, summon the last reserves of strength to push the enemy back, and Draven's men are now as far from victory as his are, too tired to continue, they slowly retreat back to the woods...
North: 390 Draven: 850

Exhausted, the ragged remains of the Northern host stumbles to the sanctuary of the fortress of Coldwater. A thousand new men stare at them, shocked at the disarray. The castle looms over the Snakewood to the south, and the Prince and the warriors are immediately sent emergency rations by Durands brother, Lord Charles.
