The kingdom of Valorland is under attack by the forces of Evil! In desperation, they have begun recruiting peasant levies! Will they survive the coming days of darkness?

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

You improve your characters by doing hard tasks. Generally, failure improves you faster, if you survive.
Generally, going from full HP to empty will give 1 HP + 20% of your max.
You'll naturally regenerate HP and MP by 10% of your maximum per turn. Below 10 points, you'll have a chance to regenerate each turn.
You can survive negative HP of 2+20% of your standard maximum, rounded down. That is, a starting character can survive at -2, which will raise to -3 once they get 5 hp. Once your HP goes negative, you can no longer fight, are vulnerable to a coup d'grace, have difficulties performing most actions, and might fall into a healing coma or bleed out.
Fighting uses opposed attack rolls. The winner deals the difference in damage, minus armor soak, to the defender's HP. There is no penalty for fighting several rounds in one turn, beyond the likelyhood of death.
Losing a round against an opponent of equal skill gives a 50% chance of a skill increase. Winning has a 16.67% chance of a skill increase.
Losing a round against an opponent of double skill gives two 50% chances of a skill increase. Winning has a 50% chance of a skill increase.
Losing a round against an opponent of half skill gives a 10% chance of a skill increase. Winning gives nothing. Losing to an opponent even weaker than that grants only an Achievement of Shame.
Training spars grant half xp, real wounds, and no bounty money.

You may use money, gained primarily through kills, to buy new equipment or skills.
There will always be a battle. You may return to the city at any point, but there will be Consequences if your superiors suspect you are slacking off.

Waiting List
Closed.

Currently, the city of Valorville is ringing the alarm bells, alerting the levies that they have two turns to join the battle. Judging by the general location of the clashing dragon riders, the battle is south, at open plains by the river. Peasant levies are expected to bring their own equipment.

The first six applicants get in. The waiting list is limited to four players at a time. The deceased must wait at least one turn before re-applying.
Please post actions as you apply.

Well hey, death is likely.

((No skill-ups for partial successes on scavenging.))

Look for a bow/crossbow/throwing spears

{1d4=2} - You find a rock along the side of the road, and equip it in your right hand.

Look for a riding dog alongside a halberd or spear of some sort and a shield.

{1d4=2} - You find a puppy! It looks half-starved and feral. You feel bad for it.

Pray to the gods for help. Then look for a pole arm and some kind of rudimentary armor.

{1d4=2} - You stop and give a half-hearted prayer for help. It solves nothing, but someone empties a pot of water out their window. It probably would have hit you if you hadn't stopped. {2} - No skill gain.

Action: Try to find a pitchfork, or some other improvised polearm.

{1d4=1} - There it is, lying in the street! An unattended pitchfork! You walk forwards to claim it, but an innocent child accidentally runs into you. He yells at you to watch where you're going. In the distraction, another child runs off with it. Your pockets appear to have been rifled through, and the first child is nowhere in sight. {1} - No skill gain

Raid the graveyard/closest ditch/butcher's shop for a bone club!

{1d4=4} - You talk the butcher into giving you a magnificent horse femur. What a nice lady. {1} - No skill gain

Search for some kind of armor!

{1d4 = 1} - You politely ask the nearest armorer if he could loan you a breastplate or something. He {4} gets annoyed and yells at you to stop wasting his time. {1} - No skill gain.
