You push the apologizing women off of you then, and move to crawl outside into the rain to get some air and some space. Though it's better that you got up anyway, as you could really do with some water... a barrel or two to chug down, maybe some more horse to eat, on the path to recovering from last night. You really need to stop doing this to yourself... even if it is quite enjoyable, in the moment at least. The aftermath though...
<span class="mu-b">"Bwuhhhh... hrm?! What's that?"</span>
Crawling along through the mud looking for the troughs the Namadans must have had for the horses, you hear the sound of a distant horn call. Other groggy Gaelans soon awake and arise at their own pace, from the repeated horn blow every minute or so. As your followers wander about investigating, you find your statue to prop yourself up to standing, and use as support as you stagger over to the exterior wall.
<span class="mu-b">"...ho, well... look at that, they're back for more..."</span>
By the time you make it outside the wall to investigate the source of the horn, already some of your followers made it on ahead of you and are starting to panic. Speaking in their own language, you don't need to comprehend them to understand what's going on. Peering through the increasing rain down from the hill, you can see a gathered force of Namadans, in military formation.
Seems that they aren't going to just take the defeat yesterday lying down. Whether they've come for retribution, or perhaps just to recover important articles from the abandoned camp, you can't say. But they eventually begin their slow approach, the march towards the hill, and you can guess their intent.
>Well you're still feeling pretty awful, but you're never so low that you can't fight! Charge on down the hill towards the enemy!
>Though you're willing to fight, maybe it'd be better for everyone's sake to defend? You do have what remains of a decent camp atop the hill, after all.
>Retreat, everyone flee! You hopefully have enough time to lead everyone out with what spoils you can gather, and see if the Namadans just want to retake the camp rather than pursue you.
>Find the village leader and have him try and negotiate... you don't expect much, but maybe these invaders will think twice now when dealing with you and your followers.
>Are they here to rescue their lord or something? They can have him! That is... if he'll go with them, what remains of him. Expel the lord from your divine realm and cough him up before the enemy force for them to see.
>[Write-in.]
