After having retaken the fortifications of Al Amarah's townsland, the Sirion forces once again visit this rich region, and are again surprised by how generous the tax collectors are. However, upon return they see, quite to their surprise, that a few stubborn Fontanese archers have still not quite understood that they had lost.

It was a slaughter. A quick one.
