You are under attack. A siege in progress. Enemies from various directions.
You have one vintage gun. It isn’t very efficient, but it has kept you alive so far. Is this a good time to put it down and tinker with it?
You have a fortified castle here, but it’s been breached in several places. Maybe you could run out to a better hill, and they’ll let you build a stronger castle.
If it doesn’t work out you can always go back to the old castle and the old gun. Right?
