@Hotchick That wasn't stupidity, it was drive knowing that the boss only appeared and he didn't know when the boss will appear so he was so determined that he went without weapon
@Malvi Harsh Unsure what you think stupid is but that is stupid. If you KNOW it will prove difficult and have high chance of failure plus endanger all your men but if you wait a little more you have high chance of winning you need to wait. He should also know cutoff deadline, what is the max allowable wait time prior to proceeding with mission. The blacksmith task is considered "mission critical".
We have leaders like that in the military, they get soldiers killed, yea, we called them STUPID!
