Take this opportunity to ask for volunteers to come with me to fight. Say that they will be rewarded in whatever goods the bandits have.

Bandits?! I gotta get back to the fort! Get to the gaurds and tell them to keep an eye on any ambushes, I draw my second sword.

While we walk, plan out an inspiring speech to give just before the battle.

While walking with Rabble Rall and the others, try out my hammer-like weapon on things. Gotta get a feel for the weapon, after all.
EDIT: Prefferably, don't try out my weapon on any people, but wild animals or rocks and such.

"Awesome! Looks like my job here is done!

How much is a beer?

Turn 27: Rallying at Rabble Rall’s Request

~A Hill outside Barkamsted~

Rabble mentally composed a speech, but he just couldn’t get the right closing line. His current plan was to end with “You may die, but if you live we have beer.” Inspiring to those who were confident they would live, at least. Bomrek walked nearby, following the apparent leader.
Orcus began testing his hammer out on trees and the like, just to get a feel for the heft. He decided the weapon suited him well, but he wasn’t quite graceful with it. He missed a tree twice. Out of five attempts.
Jongo sent the guards back and rushed to the rally point, sword at the ready.
Eliza was calling for a definite plan when Xaver said the plan right now was to take back Barkamsted from the bandits. At the mention of bandits most of the men dispersed; it turned out the easiest way to clear the mob was to tell them they’d actually have to fight. Nonetheless, Xaver brought with him four men, and Eliza.
Cortis dragged as many men as he could, but most seemed interested in helping Dave begin to build the palisade, which appeared to be his first task. Three men followed him though, including the barkeep, which brought a thirsty Jongo with.
From atop the hill the group could see Barkamsted looked like a ghost town. Nobody was obviously moving. The clay pits would be on the other side of the village, merely a cluster of houses in a slightly swampy valley, and the villagers would be held there.

((I should have two swords equipped for this. I already had a sword out and my previous turn had me get out my other))

Just before the last of the non fighters disperse, tell them about how Honorable It would be to fight off bandits.

Playergamer · « **Reply #352 on:** March 14, 2015, 10:12:56 am »

Rest, and get in position.

darkpaladin109 · « **Reply #353 on:** March 14, 2015, 10:17:00 am »

Should it be superior to my current leather jerkin, equip the guard's tunic. Otherwise, see if I can spot any bandits. If I see any, roar at them, then move forward with Xaver.

Nirur Torir · « **Reply #354 on:** March 14, 2015, 12:09:46 pm »

((We're way farther forward than I'd wanted to be. Oh well, I guess it'll work.))

Bring everyone (including Orcus) back behind the hill, out of sight. Give the troops a light meal and a drink each of the beer before the battle.
Give my speech.

Peradon · « **Reply #355 on:** March 14, 2015, 06:52:44 pm »

Buy Dave a beer.

Then head outside to the blacksmith and look at his wares.

Turn 28: Rallying at Rabble Rall’s Request (Cont.)

~A Hill outside Barkamsted~

Rabble pulled everyone behind the hill, much to the disappointment of Orcus, though he still couldn’t see the bandits. They must either be hiding or in the pits.
Jongo grabbed for himself five more men who had been hanging back, and Xaver rested and tended to his wounds. Lork looked about for Dave but couldn’t find him.
Everyone was given hardtack and beer to prepare them for the battle, at which point Rabble delivered his speech. He scrapped bits of his prepared speech as he moved through, and kept the crowd in by promises of freedom. Barkamsted was the last refuge of tyranny in their barony, and driving off the bandits would give the people more control over their lives. And food.
