Yeah referencing the backstory laid out at the start of the game.

You are Bubba, the new King of Rug!

This small nation of plains and forests have long suffered at the hands of your uncle-slash-cousin-thrice-removed, who levied high taxes, made his way with peasant maidens, and was generally unpleasant to have around.

So you and your friends rallied those suffering from his rule and while his body is being dumped in a ditch somewhere, you are crowned as a king. Your martial ability allowed you to easily triumph against your late uncle's supporters and militias (not that many of them decided to stand against you).

You quickly call in horsemen from flanks and some spearmen, for good measure, as well.

This lets you continue the battle without getting overwhelmed!

2*

Unfortunately, the wave of Fomorians is steady. Horsemen fall, spearmen fall, and a thrown rock swipes the horse from underneath your seat.

Lifting yourself up from the ground, you see a Fomorian approaching you, his club up in the air and several arrows sticking from his body. He ain't gonna survive it.

The problem at the moment is now ensuring you outlive him, too...

A) CHAAARGE!
B) Run away!
C) Fight smart, live long, and prosper!

You decide to fight to the best of your abilities!

3*

The giant enemy is definitely not the kind of foe you're used to fight, but your smarts and fighting prowess help offset his size and that nasty club he is wielding - for only a brief moment of time.

5*

You stab him in the gut to force him to kneel, and then seize the opportunity and deliver the killing blow through his left eye!

Few of your surviving elites help you back on the horse, and you return to the commanding of the army, which is in disarray. You spot a ray of hope - namely, there is no more than twenty of the brutes still fightining!

5*

Your victory in the duel and your return on the horse seems to have changed the will of the gods of fortune, who now favor your forces. The battle quickly turns into a mop-up; the Fomorians are quickly flanked and one-by-one taken down with arrows, spears and stabs!

The Fomorian settlement is burnt down, captives released, and Fomorian children and infants who were hidden inside the primitive hovels slaughtered, their blood running thick amongst the ruins of the fort.

Later that evening, some distance from the battlefield, the priests of Old Gods and New God perform rites of burial and rememberance for the fallen soldiers. Your officers, alongside the Marshal, come to party with you and drink the sorrows away. It is during that little party that some younger soldiers fetch into your tent a quite huge red gemstone - a ruby, it seems - about the size of your head.

"The iron crownlet the Fomorian chief wore is of shoddy quality and will be melted down," says the Marshal, "But look upon this beauty, your Majesty! This gem must be a spoil of their earlier rampages, because I dare say the brutes can't shape precious stones like this! What do we do with it, your Majesty?"

A) "Shatter it! Cut it down to shards and give each surviving soldier a piece. Not even hundred coins of payment can measure with a shard of such magnificence and brightness, no?"
B) "Pack it up on the wagons and get it back home! I will decide during a council what to do best with this beautiful gem!"

[Fluffe9911]

A We are a man of the military caliber after all only fair we reward our troops after such a hard fought bootstrap pulling battle! ...obviously!

[Maximum Spin]

B - A large gem fetches a premium beyond the sum of its parts, as it were, so even if we want to pay the soldiers with it it'd be better to sell it whole and pay them from the proceeds, surely.

I mean sure but you end up losing what made the gem special in the first place. Having a shard of that gem is proof of ones exploits in this battle today it shows that you fought a fierce battle and survived when many others have fallen sure some soldiers may end up selling it instantly for money but others shall keep that gem as a reminder of both those lost and of there deeds that shall be passed down generation to generation. Some things have value that money can not buy.
