Oh no, you think, as a sword and a Ready for Battle Helmet are thrust into your farm-calloused hands. You've never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!
But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors. You await the advancing orc raid said to be headed for your farms and your town, and you just hope that somehow you'll make it through. At least your Helmet feels solid on your head. That's something to be thankful for, at least...right?
