Blacksmith stands by to fill the orders.
Enterprise roll: 3d6>=4f1!6 = (6 6 2 2 2, 4 successes) = 4 Critical success!
The blacksmith makes apprentices out of 10 of your snaga and uses them as labour to make the equipment.
The other Snaga are sent to collect coal and scrap wood.
At the end of the day, your smithies produce 50 sets of light infantry equipment to arm the finest sword and buckler orcs.
You can continue to produce equipment for yourself and your allied warbands.
...Right! My strength has won the day and I will toss into the pot anyone who says otherwise.
Nab the ex-ranger's sword.
You pull the sword out of yourself. You take a power roll to see how much it hurts.
4d6>=4f1!6 = (3 5 3 4, 2 successes) = 2
You'll live. But you earned a nasty scar to the side.
All 3 warbands consume their daily rations.
12 of Devastator's grunts have died from their wounds over the day. 6 of Egan's grunts have died from their wounds. TricMagic ate one of his own Uruks.
