Your ending

Siege Genius

False signals, wool on the walls, burned supply wagons. Military historians will study your defence of Thornwick for centuries, and none of them will believe a baker did it.

  • Kept the whole castle singing
  • Out-thought a professional army

Best decision · #8

Burn their supply wagons and let hunger do the rest

Three nights later, the wagons go up like torches. Two days after that, the baron's army is eating its own boots and wants to talk.

Fatal mistake · #4

Wade in alone with your candle

Water to your chest, candle held high, bumping your head every ten steps. You come out in the woods, shivering, an hour later.
