Siege!
« on: September 28, 2016, 07:48:22 pm »

You are all residents in a small village that is currently under siege. The local militia was unable to mount a proper defense by themselves, so they have enlisted everyone capable of fighting. However, even with the added numbers, you're still greatly outnumbered.

How will you defend your home?

Villagers: 1,250
Attackers: 6,000

The enemy will kill 10 town members a turn

Rally the population into digging a trench!

What technology level are we talking about right now. Based on the "militia", I'm assuming early-late colonial period?

Pretty much yeah, but things like MG's and mortars exist  as well. I'm pretty open on this front.

Also magic is allowed, so feel free to do pretty much anything within reason

Go turncoat, sell out my fellow villagers for a chance to survive.

(1) You start forward with determination and certainty. You carry this determination with you right into the gaping crater that opens under your feet. You fall into a pit. The sounds of combat above dim, along with the light from the suns. In the quiet below, you hear some other noises instead.

Rig the front half of the village with explosives. Fall back after light engagements to the halfway point, and when thier forces are inside the village, blow it the fuck up.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Remember how great of a wizard I am, despite being a peasant, and cast some serious defensive magics.

Do this.

Open a portal that connects the center of the town to an easily accessible (for the attacking army) location to provemy loyalty.

So, if the enemy are all in front of the town...

Just step up onto a rooftop, yell "It's hiiiiiigh nooooon", and unleash my peacekeeper.
