The Battle
<p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Having eliminated the outriders and scouts prior to the Battle of the Whispering Wood, the Lannister force was still divided in three camps in order to besiege Riverrun properly. Ser Bryden Tully leading the van attacked the Lannister camp north of the Tumbleton. His force cleared pallisades and finished off any remaining scouts. The sleeping, leaderless camp was overrun. Men from the other camps, roused by the noise soon attempted to come to the aid of the camp under attack. Lord Brax led his men to the rafts and attempted to make a crossing. Riverrun began pelting the rafts with thrown rocks and soon the rafts were flipping and sinking. Among those killed on the rafts was Lord Brax.

The Lannister force attempted to form a shieldwall, but were taken in the rear by a sortie from Riverrun led by Lord Blackwood.

Aftermath
<p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">The eastern camp of the Lannister force of roughly 2,000 spears and many bowmen was left unmolested and retreated in good order back to Golden Tooth, under the command of Ser Forley Prester. A Tyroshi sellsword who led the Lannister freeriders struck his banners and switched sides.
