Sword Riot Quest

[X] Attack the besiegers

In a world where both armies fight to the last man, I could see plan 'wait it out' working great. This does not seem like that kind of world.
Also, these guys could be the same army that attacked and killed all of our friends and family.
...Screw it, kill the bastards! FOR OUR KIN!

Hmm, how about this?

[] Attack them both

Unless they decide to team up against us (don't think they would) they also are still busy with each-other, with us killing everyone in reach.

They aren't, that was the empire. Also, the nobles sent you all out to die so they could buy time to escape the city, you only survived because of the swords. The besieging army is totally new.

re: Nobles
Oh, yeah I forgot about that.

[X] Attack the Nobles

Screw the damned traitors, let them burn in hell. Only question is: Should we attack the Nobles directly, or wipe out their army first?

I now have the image of the peasants they sent to their deaths coming back a week later in the armour of the people that should have slaughtered them, and the look on their faces when we wreck their shit.

We should still have rations left over. We can sacrifice them.

I suppose but sacrifices really aren't that good unless some amount of blood is spilled alongside them. A pyre might work but still not optimal and I would rather have the rations for eating. Might see about taking some sacrifices from whatever army we end up fighting if you all feel like going that route. I
 
[X] Just pray to Grael and ask for a sign. Remind self to find chickens for sacrifices once we either sack or go into the town.
 
If we attack the nobles, do we go for the wavering flank or the group at the back?

[X] Wander off. Neither side is worth us dying for them and hanging around may prompt them to attack us.

You can choose, if you pick wait, I will have to write up a new update, if you pick attack, I will just give you a write in option.

Combat turn; Besieger Battle
The nobles lose, badly. Both sides take extremely heavy casualties, but the besiegers arms, numbers, and discipline eventually win the day, through an intense battle of attrition. They slaughter the soilders guarding the camps, and loot the caravans. They do prove that they remain honorable, though, by allowing many of the civilians to flee, although, it is likely that at least a few will die from the lack of supplies.

The besiegers break camp and go through the loot they got. While they are relaxed, they weren't so lack as to not post guards (the element of surprise is more difficult to achieve). They are arranged in five different camps, the center camp containing the enemy command and the most populous by far. The eastern camp contains the most camels, the western camp contains the few caravans not kept in the central camp, and what looks like half of the food supplies, the southern camp is the second most populous, while the northern camp is the least, although the difference between them is less then 50, the rest of the supplies are kept in the central camp. The guards patrol in a tight circle around all the camps, breaking up fights and making sure no one is attacking. You are far enough away and out of sight, so you can manoeuvre to attack any of the camps. You are currently out numbered seven to one.

A few members of the company fall to their knees and pray to Grael, he seems to look upon you with favor, for everyone in the company seems more energized. (+5 to combat rolls for the battle)

Now, it is time to fight.
[] Write in (attack the western camp, act as a defence to ____, etc.)
-[] Who are you? (Beserker, Everblocker, etc. Remember that each has their specialities)

Feel free to make a plan, but, remember that If too few people vote that way, it will likely fail (although, that might be better then no plan at all)
