The Battle of Albridge

The Battle of Albridge was a conflict between Redthorn's Iron Circle soldiers and Dar Gremath's rebellion.
==Preparations==
When the party arrived back at Albridge after aiding the Woodsinger elves, they met with Dar Gremath and the other rebel leaders to discuss tactics. Eventually, Eraamion devised a plan to dig a spike-filled pit around the south half of Albridge which would then be filled with Serkonan fire. After Thofire persuaded all the leaders of the rebellion to help, the soldiers set to work digging the trench. Once Ghazghkull had frightened the men into working hard and both Orklan and Jedcit had given rousing speeches to the them, the preparations were complete. The rebel army formed a line in front of the trench and would fall back if the order was given. The leaders of the rebellion, as well as the party, were stationed in a command post a mile from the battle.
==The Battle==
The battle began at dawn. The Iron Circle charged first, with the rebellion making a countercharge. Messengers were constantly updating the command post on the battle's status. Although the men of the rebellion held the line remarkably well, a small group of spies managed to sneak to the command post. Fortunately, they were swiftly dispatched of by the party. Later on, Dar Gremath was informed that a section of the line in the east had been breached. The party set off there at once and easily repelled the oncoming forces of the Iron Circle until the archers of the Woodsinger elves could reinforce the line. However, they sighted Nazin Redthorn himself heading to the centre of the front line, the rebel troops fleeing before him. The party immediately rushed to stop him crossing the only bridge into Albridge. While Ghazghkull and Orklan heroically guarded the bridge, Thofire came up behind Redthorn and bravely duelled him. Eraamion and Jedcit arrived soon after, and together the party repelled Redthorn back to the Iron Keep and forced his men into retreat. It was a decisive victory for the rebels. But the Iron Circle as a whole was far from defeated.
