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!"
