Yay for giant beheading weapons! >_<" Heh, that said, what I always thought was really silly was not so much the villagers not fighting as the Heroes' Guild apprentices...Since they, you know, have WEAPONS? Yet as an experiment I took some with me into Greatwood and they were wiped out by a wasp. Gah.
I'm pretty sure 99% of the Hero apprentices are either married by the heroes who do graduate or are wiped out within their first few seconds of herodom.
hahaha if they cant kill a wasp they cant kill a beetle!
Wasps are more dangerous than beetles I was trying to get scars as a kid once and just stood there hoping to get mauled by a beetle and it missed around 15 times before land a insignificant blow.
I like the idea of rioting villagers maybe you could lead a revolution to over throw the ruler of a city + or secretly insight two sides of divided town to violence +
