《I am Urist》Day 18 - Part 4 - A betting man

Ubel sat down and pushed his glasses up, “Thanks Urist. Now I’ll begin with saying that since we used the wind mages I believe we've bought a night of peace. We should keep that in mind as we work on our plan.”
Unicy frowned, “And how could you be sure of this? They are rats.”
“It is because I saw those dwarf size watching us for a sign of weakness. Since we threw out another trump card, I know the Rat King would be hesitant to attack this night after he failed the last one. I believe he will attack tomorrow with double the force or tomorrow night with an advantage.”
“I have faith in this assessment and recommend summoning more warriors for the wall. Hey Urist how many points do you have on hand for summoning.”
Unicy gave Ubel a look but nodded her head, “Although I don’t think his assessment is correct we do need more manpower to face the next wave.
Urist quickly replied, “We have currently 8749 points to use. 50 points can summon a commoner dwarf with no skills, 100 for a random dwarf with a class, and 500 points to focus summon a dwarf of a certain class. This allows us to summon 174 commoner dwarfs, 87 random dwarfs, and 17 chosen class dwarfs. Although I have to pull back at least 2500 points for food, water, and emergency if we need to intomb ourselves as a final choice.
We need to also take about 1000-1500 points to arm the dwarfs that come out with some means of defense if they don’t come with weapons or armor like warriors. And 500 points on berserker potions as a last resort if the rats are too strong. Leaving us with 4249 to 4749 points left to spend on summoning. With that information the two of you please tell me your thoughts.”

Mulling over the information for a bit Unicy went first, “I say we get a majority of commoners and have them under the control of the garrison we spend some points on getting more earth magicians I say two more and we make another pit line.”
With a snort, Ubel gave Unicy a look with his dead fish eyes, “You expect that plan to work? Noted the commoners could make good meat shields but with the rate of growth these rats have, I expect us to be overrun easily. Noted if we had the time to give them a basic training it could work but we lack time. I suggest instead we buy more firepower dwarfs that know magic. We can buy some commoners to be their meat shields and have the mages rotate with each other to cast.”
Gnashing her teeth Unicy hatefully retorted, “You just want to use the commoner's lives as fodder to keep the more valued alive. With such a thought process we won’t survive the incoming fight we need numbers to fight numbers, not elitism.”
“Oh? And do you think exposable commoners that are poorly armed will do better than high tier fighters?”
Feeling a headache coming on Urist put a hand through his hair, “You guys fight like cats and dogs. Hearing your ideas I’ve decided on a plan of action. We will roll the dice and summon 20 random dwarfs before deciding what to do with the remaining points.”
“Boss you can’t be serious to through your fate on such a gamble.”
“For once I agree with the muscle brain. We might only end up with farmers and commoners to which we could have used the points on four powerful members. This isn’t a wise move to make and I caution against such a reckless plan.”

Seeing them for once on the same side Urist chuckled, “Oh you two finally agree on something? I admit you both have good plans but you forget we are dealing with an unreasonable being that is the rat king. Numbers or elites are not going to cut it against that bastard. We need to risk it big and gamble our lives for the future. So let’s see if lady fate is on our side.”
“Wait you mad man, please listen to reason.”
“Boss don’t be rash we can still talk this out.”
“Oh, how ye have little faith. Nothing can be gained without risk.”
Pulling up the summon menu Urist clicked the random button and enter the number 20 instantly using up two thousand points. A bright flash appeared in the room blinding the three of them, forcing them to close their eyes at the sight.
When the light disappeared the three gazed upon the group in front of them. Six wore warrior equipment, 7 wore magic robes and wielded staves, three wore various work occupations, and three were commoners. The last person was a little special in that his armor and weapon gave off light.
Looking at the mages Urist became happy to see that two of the seven were earth mages. Saving him a lot of points he was going to spend if he didn’t get these two. The rest of the mages were 1 fire, 1 water, 1 blood, 1 poison, and one female he couldn’t identify that was ripped wearing a sleeveless shirt and a witch hat.
The warriors were mostly wielding axes with one wielding a bow. The three occupations was a farmer, Rune Smith, and Miner. The commoners had nothing notable to them but the final dwarf caught the three's attention so they awoke him first.
But before that Urist laughed, “See? Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice.”
“What bullshit luck boss. But please don’t do it again unless you consult us before. At least for me, I don’t care what this asshole thinks.”
“Even I have to agree with the muscle-brain that you shouldn’t do that.”
“Blah, you worry too much, let's get to waking these guys and making our next set of plans.”
They couldn’t see the man's features for he wore a suit of armor that was made out of ancient bronze with runic carvings and the symbol of a tiger etched in his center chest piece.
With a poke from Urist, the man shifted slightly before backing away and placing his hand on his sabers handle.
Words full of grit and venom the man's old voice hissed at the three, “Where am I. Speak before I gut you.”
With a drip of sweat flowing down his forehead, Urist wanted to sigh, Why can’t I summon normal dwarfs. This is going to be a long day, isn't it?
