Mount&Blade - With Fire and Sword, Captain Smith #2 @ RPS

Quinton Smith has kicked up his second report on Mount & Blade: With Fire and Ice, featuring his character Captain Smith:

Having bravely run away, I bravely conceal myself under a tree and take stock of my assets, my army, and the other logistical inventories that a good leader should examine on a regular basis. I come up with the following action points:

• My boots are missing. I have no shoes on. I should probably get some shoes.
• I have no soldiers.
• I still have a horse!
• I am poor.

I decide that this leadership thing is all in a man’s mind. Yes, I have no funds at present. Yes, the horse I’m riding sounds like it’s breathing through a straw. Yes, there’s a bullet lodged somewhere in my elbow. But so long as I know myself to be a leader of men, the men will follow. I’m going to ride back to that city, use the very last of my coin to buy some men, and also probably some boots, and I’m going to come back to Zamoshye the LAST TIME and pluck these bandits from the Earth like apples from a tree.
