Your ending

Hero Of Thornwick

Minstrels are already singing about you, very inaccurately. In the songs you are seven feet tall. In real life you are standing at the back of the feast, eating a pie, very happy.

  • The village would follow you into battle
  • 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 · #5

Crawl through the latrine ditch where nobody will look

Nobody will look, because nobody would ever go in there. You go in there. You will smell it for a month.
