Also, attacking (up until this point) largely undefended fiefs I would hardly wage is a "Roll Over"
You're finally attacking a fief that will actually give you a challenge, and what do you do? Make a mistake. Now, it's time to see if this mistake pays off for you guys and you can dodge a bullet, or if you're going to fortify Reyvadin's defenses with your loss and all that precious gear.
We'll see!
