Instead of confronting rebels from the direction of Hohned, Lord Oroat had the army go around the area and attack Commonground from the west, quickly reclaiming less defended territories. These early victories were important for King Tormoh, who immediately informed Gaskal and Deeras that the situation is under control.

However, as the army began to knife further and further into rebel territory, guerilla warfare began to slow it down. Additionally, Lord Oroat had to leave garrisons to defend larger mines, such as Sutimoh, Rolee and Goskoh: the serfs would abandon them when confronted with Oroat's army, only to return later and either reclaim the mine or attack those left to guard it. So, Oroat's army was effectively fighting several ongoing battles at the same time.
