A soldier returns over the horizon. He runs like a man aflame. It's been a long while since you've seen one of your own men run like that, but not too long. Never too long. He approaches quickly. He seems to be at a loss for words as he nears the camp. You wonder what could get him so upset. You've got a fairly nice place here, and the promise of good pay when the war ends. The Golden Horde are a thousand miles away, pillaging the countryside. Well, that's what they've been doing all year.

"Hoooooooorde! The bloody Khan is here!"

Oh. That doesn't sound like good news, whether the soldier is right or wrong. He's either warning you of the approach of the Demon-Lord Qhazaagh, or he's cracking up out here. You can't have your soldiers cracking up out here.

It's only been a few months out here in the scrap-lands and there's been little action. You doubt a seasoned mercenary would crack under that little pressure. This is something much worse. First, let's get an overview of the situation.

1. How are your soldiers equipped?

A. With urban-camo uniforms, in the style of old-world military. They're armed with assault rifles, two sniper-rifles and a light machine gun.(Respectively. Each one doesn't carry all that. Don't be ridiculous.)

B. Wrapped in fur and leather. Your men wield machetes, old repeaters, and bows. You may have inferior equipment, but your strict survivalist approach means that your soldiers are hardier than most.

C. They adorn themselves with trophies from their slain opponents, armored only in rusty steel plates roughly bent into shape. They fight with chain-swords and blaster-rifles they found in the ruins. Your soldiers are infamous for their sacrilegious audacity, being at least 3rd generation scrap-men; This New God is too weak for their blood. However, they have noticed that he pays his mercenaries quite well.

2. How are you equipped?

A. A similar military-style uniform, decorated with various symbols denoting your rank and prestige. You also have an assault rifle and a revolver.

B. A cloak and tricorne hat. Lots of belts and pockets. You keep a sabre on one side and a hand-gun on the other.

C. You wear a shoulder-guard of machined steel and a pair of leather trousers, as well as the warped visage of a wolf. This is not to mention the necklace of ears. You're armed with a sword carved from an old car-bumper and a sawed-off shotgun with various gnarly shells(Rock salt, broken glass, etc.).

3. What is your name?

Agreeing on both C's - and as I do like an album with just that name - minus the Cannibal, I guess I also agree on the name.

You are Nimrod the Cannibal, son of Nimrod the Elder, slayer of Sibuna The Wolfman whose face you now wear.

Your scrap-men rush to cover behind concrete barricades. Those with only melee weapons move to the front. You see a figure on the horizon. He appears to be riding some kind of large cat. As he gets closer, you get a clearer view.

The hordesman is wrapped in horse-fur and horse-leather, but flickers of light hint at chain-mail worn underneath. In one hand he brandishes a submachine gun, in the other a metallic whip. The more obvious threat is his mount, an enormous white lion with a golden mane. This man must surely be a khan or other such noble. He is followed by four horsemen, two with bows and two with repeaters.

What is your strategy?

A. Lure the lion-rider into the center of camp, where you can trap him and neutralize him easily.

B. Order all your soldiers to fire on the lion-rider. This way you can kill him without getting in range of the whip.

C. Order your soldiers to defend the camp from the horsemen while you fight the lion-rider in single combat.

[Gamerlord]

B.

[Maxinum McDreich]

I like the glory aspect of C, so go for C.

[Gamerlord]

O_o

That's freaking suicide! He has a giant lion.

[LordSlowpoke]

We want the nobleman chained so we can ransom them off later for a tidy sum. A.

[Ghazkull]

C! We are Nimrod the Cannibal after all. Slayer of Sibuna Wolfman! Such a pesky thing as a cat we eat for breakfast!

[Knave]

We want the nobleman chained so we can ransom them off later for a tidy sum. A.

I like this option. Ambush is best!
