(I will thank them. I will answer their questions. I will ask them to either ambush them outside, heal the fallen or defend the baricade. Tell them my name is Lin Chuan)

"Yes sir" said Jal Rekin, hiding his reluctance. He went to do it.

Lin Chuan ran back until half way he finds a secondary commander, "Sir, please tell the Captain that the druids, hunters and rangers will meet the Green Skins a mile before they arrive. They will either fight or scout."

"Good. At least you know when to keep your mouth shut."
You manage to repair the arrow hole on the shoulder of the leather armour by patching it from the wecked one. You have 32 Dari and 34 Sari. Plus a spare shortsword and the armour. Do you sell it or leave it in your room?
Stash it, I assume my leather might need repatching after this anyway!
The hunters rise up at once " Talak go rouse the animals of the wood and steam and air. Hunters and Druids of Larthorn rise up and meet this threat. You have my thanks hunter, what was your name?" All this was said by an elvish hunter and the elvish druid (Talak) leaves. The other hunters and druids sound the summons using whistles that sound like birds. Once the force of 10 druids, 26 hunters and 20 rangers have gathered they prepare for battle and ask you for as much information as possible. How do you respond?
Was the second bit for me?
Perhaps we can get into a system of starting things with a label so we know who we are talking to?
Anyway, if it was for me.. how do I know anything?
I'm more than willing to go out running about and finding whats happening with the enemy? Shall I?

Sorry that was for Charles.
Above. Right Abaddon the first bit was for you. The bit about hunters was for Charles. I got my maths wrong because I forgot about the gold you get from not using slots. You patched the leather armour so you could wear it in the battle, in the process you damaged the wecked armour further. So you have one complete, one damaged but useable and one wecked. You also have a spare shortsword. You chose to sash them (I think). Yes your idea is a good one should have throught of that ealier.

What does the Militia Captain respond to my advice?

Jal Rekin- The Captain turned and looked at him "I am not going to sacrifice a man on a pointless, suicide mision. It would be pointless. I think two strong Magi and four milita and your friend, the idiot, will have a hope of keeping him distracted, maybe hurting him enough to make him withdraw but the fatalitiy rate would be high, I would guess if they won, one, maybe both the Magi would get back half sane and maybe a milita man or two completely insane but otherwise they would all be killed. Either by him or us."
Just then Lin Chuan burst into the room. " Another of your friends Jal. Well they are most interesting to meet," the Captain started before Commander Kavin said, " Now who in Untor's sake are you and what do you want." Lin reported his amazing success annd the captain boomed " Excellent. Well done. Kudos to you. A force of 10 druids, 26 hunters and 20 rangers. Meeting him in the field a mile from the town. Plus what animals and spirits they could call at short notice. This one has a cool head, I hereby promote you to honoury Third Commader of the Milita of Larthorn Village and offer you a longbow used by my predecessor. No-one has been good enough to wield but you are wecome to try and if you like it keep it! See Jal that's how you get things done though to be fair you don't come from the Badlands so your tactics taught in some Imperial School somewhere won't be much use."

"Right" said Jal. He noted internally that his plans of starting a dynasty in this village seemed to be fairly shot down. "Also, they aren't my friends."
(From this point, Jal is going to try and exploit looking at the tactical information, and then make some excuse to leave if there is a safe way of doing so. His plans have been shot to pieces, so he's going to try and go elsewhere.)

Lin Chuan lowered/tilted his head, "Thanks for this honor, now, should I join them? I know the paths to that road in the days before I came he and I can get there a few minuets before the ambush or perhaps closer to mop up, look at the success or just in case the greenskins sent more re-enforcements... front line defence."
{Picks up long bow, pulled it back and clenches teeth just before fully drawn.}
"Thanks for this gift, I will use it with honor."
{Prepares backpack for battle Places arrows on top and straps Hunting knife on the hip inside the trousers.}

OOC: Neverwonagame 3 I would strongly advise you stay away from the Badlands if you wish to found a dystasty. Try in Alvalon, Danleon (human kingdom in the north) or Talgazi (a large desert kingdom to the south).
" If you want my advise kid, as you're probably debating weather to join the hunters or not. Well don't. You kid they, to be realistic, have only a small chance of destroying the horde. Enzor is strong... Hang on I just realised none of you know who Enzor is. He's a dragon, not a wyrm, a dragon. Good with minds and fire but then which dragon on this world is not good with fire. That's why we're not going to ride out and that is why we are going to fight a defesive battle until we kill Enzor, rout his horde or die."

"Hmm..." said Jal, trying to distract the Captain from his true feelings (he's currently trying to figure out how to get away safely, and internally debating whether he can get away with stealing supplies as he leaves), "How would Enzor assess the situation? Knowing his mindset could be useful."
(Jal continues to ask questions until there is a risk of all escape routes being cut, or he has an easy to fairly easy way of escaping. Then he will make the most convincing excuse he can, and try to escape)
(OOC: I don't see any opportunities to found dynasties away from the Badlands.)

The Captain thinks something's up for awhile but you get lucky and he drops it. You discover that soon the children and old folk of the town will be revacuated to another nearby villiage and then on to the Kingdom of Larthorn. They need an escourt and you jump at the chance. Soon Jal Rekin is slipping away to join the escourt when the old man appears. " Oh no my lad. Your not getting out of this we will need you before the end. Now turn around, stop deserting and I won't instandly let the entire village know. Sound like a good deal, I cover up your cowadice and you rejoin the fighting with your comrades, friends, people you know, whatever you want to call them."

"Frankly" said Jal, "As long as you lose the battle, it doesn't matter if the whole village knows. I'm dropping the pretence and getting out of here!"
(Jal, realising the old man is going to alert people, proceeds to do so as quickly as possible)

Jal
You feel a presence in your mind. "BOY!" it bellows "ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS UNHELPFUL. I have a plan, which has huge risks but it should be able to win this battle and the war if all goes well. Jal Rekin." You turn around and see the old man grining ear to ear with a look of sheer glee on his face. How do you react?

Jal whispers. "Enzor?"

" Wrong, do I look like a dragon." He opens his mind enough and guides you in. You can clearly see that there is no taint of magic in his mind, no disguise, nothing. He shows you what he is, A Magus and then he guides you out again. " So are you going back to the front or not boy. I don't have all day."

[NWAG, do you really expect to jump into a position of power so quickly?]
[[Also, so totally didn't realise we were fighting a dragon!]]
"Does anyone know what they want?"

(OOC: My original plan was to try and persuade the city using my charisma to make me their leader. That was shot to pieces due to my failure to give good tactical advice, so now I'm trying to salvage the situation. It's in Jal's best interest to escape now, though he isn't going to try yet.
Primarily, I rely on high charisma to get into power)
