You Are a Count!

You awake to the cries of "All Hail the King!"
However, you cannot fathom why you are even in the castle in the first place.
Well, first things first. What is your name?

Ah! Thats right, you are Count von Mrench!

A messenger arrives at the opening to your tent, and hands over a letter. It reads,

Dear Count von Mrench,

As a reward for your faithful service to the crown, I hereby grant you the village of Sturg, with all it's revenues. In addition, I grant you 50 footmen to help you defend Sturg.

King Hurtz

You leave your tent to find your 50 men standing at the ready to march, along with a map showing you the general surroundings of Sturg.

The map shows that Sturg is bordered to the east by a river and sits alongside a mountain range covering the northern and eastern sides of the village, while an open plain is to the south.

You and your men have arrived at Sturg.

Sturg is a rather poor village, living off farming on the plains and fishing in the river, then selling the excess to Yessingham upriver. As soon as your armed men enter the village, the elder meets you and celebrates you on your new position, before asking you to help improve the village.

You think of mandating production of short swords, but your men are all equipped and there is no iron to make them out of.

The elder informs you that some bandits are living south of the village and are harassing the farmers.

Prepare an ambush for these bandits! We will use a small force to lead them into the trap when we are ready.

Go back see if he's there and run him over, and drink his gun!

You can't ambush in wide open farmland!

Fine. I suppose we will have to assault them. Ask the farmer where these bandits hole up and we will storm the place, swords a swingin'.

You and your soldiers arrive at the farmland, to find 5 burning farmhouses, and bandits running around looting. One of them notices you, and the others all charge.

Go to the defensive, and set up a blockade. Let the bandits crash upon you like screaming lemmings.
