((If you run out of money for your military, they'll idle until their back wages are paid, at which point they'll return to work. They have a small chance of helping out in case of an attack, depending on how loyal they feel, but will likely hide and only defend themselves if necessary. Diplomacy is possible, but they may just feel that you don't value them enough ("Sorry guys, I spent all your wages hiring a wizard"), and demand a raise. They might or might not go back to work after you promise them a raise.
New rule: You're in a jungle. It should be full of dangerous life, just waiting to kill you. If you search for something to fight, you'll find something to fight. Higher rolls will likely cause an encounter you were looking for. Lower rolls will likely be either worthlessly weak, or ... not something you should be trying to fight alone, depending on what you search for.))

Pyro spends time devising a healing spell. The constant expletives over his minor miscalculation don't help, nor does Mage staring at him disconcertingly, but he thinks he's going in the right direction, and tells her what he's planning. She yells that
