Dont take stuff for ourself. Set a good example

+1

We're still basically a mook to the sergeant. We should at least try to wait until the dust is cleared to consider looting the battlefield, and even then.

[Andres]

I say we take the militia captain's stuff if the sergeant doesn't take it. At the least we should pick up a sword from one of the fallen militia.

[Generally me]

Ask the captain before looting if he says yes spread the loot equally, also try to keep things calm

[Aseaheru]

We need a shortsword/long dagger of some sort, yes, but lets not loot anything yet. Just get it all into fancy piles and look for orders or similar.

[Playergamer]

You begin to organize a small detachment to round up the prisoners, but the sergeant preempts you, taking what's left of his unit and rounding up the 15 or so men left. As they disarm the prisoners, you tell the rest of the men to begin looting the battlefield. Within an hour or so, all of the items of value on the field have been rounded up and put in piles. In the weapons pile, you see eight swords, eight round shields, and a few axes. All of the clubs were ignored, since they're basically worthless. The armor pile contains eight mail shirts, and the valuables pile is just a large stack of coin purses, and coins. The coins haven't been counted yet, but you guess that there's at least a hundred small coins in there.

Take 10 coins, a sword, a shield, and a chainmail shirt

And an axe. Never know when we might need an axe.

[Iituem]

And when this is all over, talk to the sergeant about training with a sword, because without training you are as likely to cut your own limbs off with one as someone else's.

Also talk about how we could join into a full time military unit and receive promotions etc... We are pretty good at this and as a peasant this is one of the only meaningful ways to advance ourselves in society. We could become a warder i think is the name for it im not certain though but it is basically a lordly appointed military governor of a town. And it just so happens there is a town that could use a military governor though that title would more then likely go to our current sergeant. Those are just long term plans though. For present see if we can find a wagon and a horse from the natives to transport the bodies of our dead as well as our wounded back to town. And organize a funeral pyre for our enemies.

+1 to this.

-1 to this. We are not looting the sarge said this a big no no.

[Playergamer]

Clarification: The sergeant said you could loot from the battlefield, but looting from civilians and non-combatants would be punished with hanging.

[cheesemcmuffin88]

Im well aware of that restriction but we dont want our fellows fighting over choice pieces. Also im certain our lord would appreciate some of that wealth making it back to him.

The Lord? He has a bunch of tax money laying around as is. Forget what i said earlier and take the gold. I don't much care for the equipment but i'm fine with taking that and being a full fledged soldier.

[cheesemcmuffin88]

I disagree with that but it would be nice to purchase our own equipment especially if we are going full time military. But dont seem to greedy only take as much as the other peasants. Make sure the sergeant gets the lions share though its good to have the graces of your commanding officer. Secondly if we are going to eventually purchase equipment for ourselves I believe a helmet should be the first order of business. I know this may be significantly down the line but i propose we purchase a kettle helmet or a barbuta type helmet.

[Beneviento]

Elias led a group, and had a pretty large hand in the victory. Therefore, we might as well take the equipment, we deserve it as much as anyone else. It'll probably end up being Elias, Arlen, and whichever six men looked the bravest in the fight who get the equipment. If the gold came off of soldiers, it belongs to us (all the levy-men). The lord can have whatever's in the town. Getting a helmet would be an excellent idea though.
