Rather than open the door, the men inside proceeded to open all the shutters and point their crossbows out. Thanks to Wilis giving up any element of surprise, they now had a firing position with cover, whereas the Harrenhal gang did not. "Who you calling a shitfuck?" someone called back out, who Jon recognized as his ex Bonny Boy Donnel. (Bandits get +10 for having cover) Dacey, having expected either Willis or Hoster to deal with the door rather than alarm the bandits observed the scene incredulously for a brief moment, but then stepped forward to give the door a healthy kick of her foot. [30 Unarmed] (Failed) The door is barred, and though Dacey manages to crack the wood a bit, she probably does more damage to her self.

"Oy, Donnel! Ye feck face." Hoster shouted towards his former comrade, covering behind his shield. Fucking Willis with his shouting. "It's Hoster. Here ta talk, eh?! Git tha' fecking toy down 'fore ye hurt yerself or ah hurt ye mahself. Wha'ever comes first; believe me, ye don' want da second option ta happen." He tried to remind the men who the fuck he was dealing with.

If Benjen is capable of telling which bandit called out the challenge [Observation 50], he will draw a bead on that man, presuming him to be the leader. If not, he simply focuses on whichever bandit he has the clearest shot on. If anyone, either the bandits or the Harrenhal men (and woman) makes an aggressive move, Ben will try to put a single arrow through the lead bandit's skull.

(You rolled a 6. This is the best day of my life.) "So you can feed us to a fucking bear?" Donnel called back, incredulous. "That's right boys, that pretentious prick Hoster sent us with pissed his pants and tried to feed me to a fucking bear. Blackforts are highborns for a day and suddenly that's what we mean to these cunts. Expendable, the lot of us." There was clearly little to intimidate a man who had literally been used as a human shield against a wild animal. "Plenty of coin to go around on this side of the door for any that want to stand with us," Donnel added. The ten remaining Bonny Boys exchanged looks, clearly having silent conversations with their eyes. Half of the ten stepped backwards out of line, three of them raising their crossbows to the backs of the Blackforts, the other two running back up the way they'd come, presumably to go kill Benjen. If Benjen is capable of telling which bandit called out the challenge [ Observation 50], he will draw a bead on that man, presuming him to be the leader. If not, he simply focuses on whichever bandit he has the clearest shot on. If anyone, either the bandits or the Harrenhal men (and woman) makes an aggressive move, Ben will try to put a single arrow through the lead bandit's skull. The leader is not by one of the windows, apparently shouting out from within the building. He can see one crossbowman at each of the four windows, two on the bottom story and two on the top.

"Motherfucker," Ben muttered under his breath. The two runners would have to climb up a steep slope or loop back a long way to get to him, so he focused on the three with crosssbows pointed at the Blackforts. Ben let fly two arrows at two of them.

"Da feckin' prick did what?!" Hoster blurted out. He eyed Dacey with a mix of complete confusion and irritation, there seemed to be something missing in that story. It was easy to guess who Donnel had meant with 'pretentious prick'. "Dacey, what da feck..."

"Excellent choice of friends, Hoster." Willis muttered. He did his best to contort, keeping his shield toward the building while turning to take a swing at the nearest traitor.

How even was Hoster their captain of guard? The discipline of Hoster's men, the respect he clearly instilled in them... Inspiring.
"The fuck do you think's gonna happen next? You know there's knights riding down here as we speak. Unless you wanna get quartered, lower your crossbows. Now," she told them, sharply.

"Ah told ye..." Hoster sighed, turning with a swing towards the nearest bastard with a crossbow. He kept his shield aimed towards the asshole in the window.

Benjen's first shot sails over the heads of the three men. As one turns to look at it curiously, the second buries itself in the back of his head. He is dead before he hits the ground.
(Benjen gains +1 to Archery. 1 of the traitors is killed. He will have two more rounds of shooting before the two running up reach him.)
As Willis turns to swing, his opponent is much quicker on the trigger, a bolt cutting through his chain armor and burying itself in his gut. Dacey thankfully, cuts the traitor's head off with her twin swords before he can do further damage. Hoster is only slightly more successful with his man, a bolt catching him in the shoulder.
(Willis take a Medium Wound, Hoster takes a Light Wound, Dacey kills 1 of the traitors. 1 remains behind them.)
A storm of bolt flies from the windows, the first volley cutting down two of the loyal Bonny boys and one of the Harrenhal guardsmen. He had not even seen his 15th nameday. The return fire takes out one of the bandits in the windows, though his spot is quickly filled by another.
(Two loyal Bonny Boys Dead, 3 remain. 1 Harrenhal Guardsman Dead, 1 Remains. 1 Bandit Slain, ? Remain)

Ben eyed the two men running for him, but his allies below seemed to be in greater danger than he was, at least for the moment. "Fuck, fuck, motherfucker," Ben muttered almost rhythmically in time with his cycle of nock, draw, loose. He fired two more arrows, both at bandits hiding inside the house.

Benjen's cursing mantra does no wonders for his accuracy and both his shots miss.
(1 more round of shooting until the pair of traitors arrive)
As Willis turns his body to face the man who had shot him in the abdomen, another bolt from one of the shooters in the building buries itself in his back. Dacey manages to cut the man behind the thigh and Hoster takes his head off with a furious primal yawp.
(Remaining Traitor Dead. You can assault the building now or retreat. Hoster gains +1 Sword)
The tempest of bolts continues, though this time, the bandits take the brunt of the damage. Two of them are slain outright, with only one of the windows filled this time, by Donnel. The remaining Blackfort guardsman takes a bolt to the knee in the return fire.
(2 Bandits Slain, ? Remaining)
Unfortunately, in the other building, across the clay pit connected by the dock, four men come charging out with axes raised, including the ex-Bonny boy Harold.

Benjen pivoted to face the men scrambling up towards him. He sent an arrow flying at each one, then dropped his bow and hefted his axe.

Hoster didn't say a word, he just moved angrily towards the building trying to stay out of the line of fire. With a furious savage cry he kicked at the door, aiming to bring it down.
