Pull back.  Either the troll will collapse stuff around itself, or it'll come into a bigger room where we can swarm it properly.

Great! 10 Longswords, 10 Shortswords, 10 Daggers, and 30 Steel Bucklers, pronto! Get to work everyone!

Enterprise roll: 3d6>=4f1!6  = (1 3 3, -1 success) = -1

You try to get the forges going but the barren landscape cannot provide enough charcoal for the furnaces. You're going to have to send workers into the mines to dig for coal!

Pull back.  Either the troll will collapse stuff around itself, or it'll come into a bigger room where we can swarm it properly.

You run. The troll comes tumbling after. It is enraged. It flails around at the orcs but misses. Then it hits its head against a stalactite and falls unconscious.

Better Idea, send my Orcs into the castle to get furniture. Grab everything that can burn and smash it down at the Furnace. Tapestries too if there isn't enough wood.


I meanwhile Read some of these number books. Magical lines beneath the earth?{Because learning how to set something on fire is useful}

Blacksmith stands by to fill the orders.

...Right! My strength has won the day and I will toss into the pot anyone who says otherwise.

Nab the ex-ranger's sword.

Blacksmith stands by to fill the orders.

Enterprise roll: 3d6>=4f1!6  = (6 6 2 2 2, 4 successes) = 4 Critical success!

The blacksmith makes apprentices out of 10 of your snaga and uses them as labour to make the equipment.
The other Snaga are sent to collect coal and scrap wood.

At the end of the day, your smithies produce 50 sets of light infantry equipment to arm the finest sword and buckler orcs.
You can continue to produce equipment for yourself and your allied warbands.

...Right! My strength has won the day and I will toss into the pot anyone who says otherwise.

Nab the ex-ranger's sword.

You pull the sword out of yourself. You take a power roll to see how much it hurts.

4d6>=4f1!6  = (3 5 3 4, 2 successes) = 2

You'll live. But you earned a nasty scar to the side.

All 3 warbands consume their daily rations.

12 of Devastator's grunts have died from their wounds over the day. 6 of Egan's grunts have died from their wounds. TricMagic ate one of his own Uruks.
