What's stopping them from storming the city at some point in the next week? Then we're either talking to them at sword point or we're dead.
Our stats
While our bro is incapacitated at the moment, we're a Martial leader too. We can pick up his slack--and in the point of defense, we LOSE the Reckless Charge negative mod. Check the dice--we've got a 'bad score' because we rolled a natural 1. Waiting this out gets us thinking, posting, and doing something other than picking always the option that has 'act' on it when 'wait' is also a valid option--maybe not the best at times, but better NOW in order to clarify some understandings with the GM.
Because this seems like a very important time in this game because this game
ends when our dynasty is unable to retain control of the lands. I mean it'd be EPIC if we're a rebellion but...that'll probably be a long time after Aife's life, and she needs maintenance due to her sickly status.
While right now, we're just presented with the idea that we've low manpower--sans those who aren't soldiers. We're presented with making a choice, and the idea that others are agreeing with talking down; in short, the obvious set of what happens when we're in dire straights. But we should use this time to THINK because of the implications of our choice (and clarification moreso, that's why I'm picking wait because of the thoughts that come to mind IF "D" means the "D" I've detailed
).
That and we've rarely if ever picked the 'wait' option, but there's more to that than 'we didn't pick this option that much'. I'm nearly rambling and incoherent though due to tiredness.
