It was day 943, my company consisting of 12 just finished up a 3 star contract to take out a barbarian village. The battle was tough but we won. But it had left the company with nearly half wounded, with two in critical condition. We had taken in two new ones. One of them, the fencer is one of the two in critical condition, while the other, a crossbowman, is still a middle level wet behind the ears.
We were heading back to the village of Grimstad to collect our pay, when we ran into an event, turns out the barbarian warparty belonging to the village we just destroyed were after us for revenge. If we retreated, they would burn the village to the ground and do worse than what we had to the villagers, much worse.
With half our equipment tattered, half of us still carrying fresh wounds, and us being the only thing between the barbarians and the village's demise, we drew our weapons, stood our ground, and watched as the waves of chosen charge towards us.
This is going to be the fight of our lives...
