Name: Sir Shayua Haise
Looks/Personality/History: Your typical peasent, he grew up on his parents farm, until the village he lived near was pillaged and burned down, along with his families crops. After the very cliche event of his parents dieing, he grew up as a begger, traveling from village to village until the age of 16, when he finally got a job as a carpenter. After raising enough money, and taking a very generous donation from his friends and family, he followed his dream of becoming a knight. The only problem is, he failed at it, and the resulting trauma caused him to enroll in his small countries militia, where he rose through to ranks slowly, and now commands a small force. He is fairly tall, with long red hair, and a clean-shaven face. He is very pale, and is somewhat of a jokester, always making sarcastic comments and jests at his troops to raise moral, though it doesn't always work.

Word of this has no doubt spread to everywhere else in the empire. There are 2 more merchant towns and the capital. Their defense will be stronger for sure. What now? (Oh and I forgot to say this, but you also get 7 EXP)

I should have a moral compass that has an "evil" side and a "good" side. Your straying more to the evil side. Anyways, your first shot hits the guy straight in the throat. He falls. The people behind him look up in horror, and you quickly sweep in and kill everyone. Blood splatters.

End Of Day Result:
Your casualties: 0
Your Injured: 3
Enemy Casualties: 26
Enemy Injured: 0
Loot Money: 250$
Loot Items: None

Update your own character sheet. Organize it as you wish. I will only be checking to make sure you do not make any mistakes with your counting.

I'll go after one more merchant town, bringing 35 footsoldiers (not the injured one), 10 archers, and one knight.

@Alpha
I KEEP FORGETTING THAT. You get 11.

@Tray
You approach the merchant town. You see 2 guards checking everyone who goes in, and 2 more patrolling the perimeters. Apparently they don't know your number of troops yet. Is it best to leave no survivors? What do you do?

Getting more heavily guarded, eh.
Okay, my troops and I will storm the city and attack any guards in the town, and any other civilian that poses any form of threat. (Assuming these are typical people who will run at the sight of us. Meaning, if they just sit there, or grab a weapon, PWN EM!) This time I WILL take prisoners. Either to put into my army, or for information on their militia.

Having to remember all these stats, from all these peoples is hard. Plus, you have to be very creative.

Seeing as just attacking the small villages would yield little loot and be dangerous do to the mountains, I'll head straight for the Capital with 10 archers, 30 footsoldiers, and 10 knights, keeping the knights about 2 miles ahead, so they can warn about any incoming dangers.

I want to put a limit, but a limit of "2" is going to make this very boring XD

Remembering the numbers, areas, names, etc for everyone is hard.
