>Eventually manage to rise a decent rice farm called Hepvilla
>Get a bunch of visits from other dicks wanting our food, but we manage by
>One day, we get visited by the Dust Bandits
>They demand money or they kill us
>Realise we are out numbered, they are stronger, and better equipped than us
>We decide to be a bunch of bitches and pay them off
>Go back in inside the walls
