Search the battleground for some armor that is better than what I have.

I didnt even hit a guard once....

[Nirur Torir]

((Does anybody want to rule this village? If not, we may need to set up more democracy NPCs D:))

My armed troops will stabilize the bleeding and check for injured villagers.
I will search the nearest armed bandit for money or other valuables.
My unarmed people will arm themselves from the bandits.

[origamiscienceguy]

Where's the booze?!

Find some metal to take back to the blacksmith at waybridge.

[wipeout1024]

Search for a weapon, to defend myself.

[Playergamer]

My unarmed men will arm themselves from the bandits, while I will take the armor and weapon from one of the armored bandits.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the correct spelling would be "Staking Claims" not "Steaking Claims" unless it's a play on words referring to cows or meat or something.

     This marks the beginning of Stage 2: Steaking Claims, in which our heroic peasants attempt to win the loyalty of their less heroic brethren, at least in part by supplying much needed food and booze.

This rabble took up arms, such as were available, and started a rebellion so clumsy, it could only be described as a Rabbellion.

We did it men! You were all absolutely violent, aggressive, brutal, heroic, and other adjectives for battle! From this day forth, we are Jongonauts! Err, we may find a better name later, but for now, we are brothers in arms! Let's get some more recruits, and see what we can make some Jongonauts out of peasants!

After some well-deserved celebration, get some more men. We then begin to train with great concentration on aerobic exercise (heart and lung conditioning). Try to find some sadistic, or at least violent peasants for the Jongonauts.

Turn 33: Surrender (Cont.)

~Barkamsted~

     Rabble’s men set to work patching up those who had been injured, regardless of their role in the battle. When Rabble himself approached the armored bandit that fell against him, his own man was so busy patching the bandit up that Rabble was given a curt response to his attempt at looting, and simply handed mail the man had worn. Jongo’s injured man and the armored bandit both looked better, but there were still two bleeding men after the men’s ministrations. Fortunately, when Jongo looked over the rescued villagers they all seemed untouched. In fact, they all said they had been treated well, quickly placed into the clay pits and guarded. That is, except for a family of two that had been taken into the mountain.
    Jongo recruited from the Barkamstedians five more men who seemed as bloodthirsty his own, as his own men quenched a more mundane thirst with the beer Rabble had brought. Their celebration seemed to consist mostly of loud and gruesome boasts about the role each man had played in the battle. After they had finished, Jongo set his nine healthy men to running around the village. His tenth man lay to the side, freshly bandaged by one of Rabble’s men and already beginning to regain color.
    Xaver and his men, Lork and Eliza armed themselves from the battlefield, and Cortis searched over the village but only found two swords and a ring to bring back to the blacksmith.

So, I’ve thought some about the direction of the game and I have a couple of ideas in mind. But I don’t intend to railroad at all, so I’m pretty much gonna throw stuff at you guys, and whatever bait you take will determine the short term direction of the game. Long term has a specific direction, but I think it’ll evolve pretty naturally.

Question the villagers about the Family that was taken to the mountains.

[Playergamer]

Talk to my men, and rest. Ask them how they feel about fighting, home, etc.

Help with this.

speak with the injured Jongonaut. Give him some comfort by talking about fun, casual things.
