The land of Graal: The Time Of Change... for worse

You both arrive at town, excited to be out of jail and free from harm. BUT, you kind of wish you died, because the whole town has been destroyed, and now there are ALOT of Guards similiar to the ones at the prison.. You and Jeffery hide in a small cabin near the entrance to the town. You decide that the infantry will leave soon to destroy more land, so you stay there, living on the few foods you have for the next few days. You leave the cabin after 5 days, and you were correct; the town was empty! You decide to look around for some useful things to help you on your journey. If you were going to fight against them all, you would need a decent weapon and some armor.
