[Taricus]

A, what's the worst elfmother can do to us anyway?

[piratejoe]

A I don't know about you but I don't plan on having our king die.

[Maegil]

A, what's the worst elfmother can do to us anyway?

A I don't know about you but I don't plan on having our king die.

Our mother is the least of our problems.
If we do this, our nobles, our subjects and our neighbours will see us as ammoral for not only not demanding retibution, but even dealing with slayers of our kin. Meanwhile, you can imagine what the Damedians (with whom we've slowly gained a rapprochement) will say...

We might very well end up fighting a civil war while trying to push off both the Parsians and the Damedians; what a sad end for our dynasty that'll be! And for what? A gadget to protect the king?... Yeah, right!

[VoidSlayer]

I wish we had not buried the other artifacts, at this rate we could have 5 magic items!

But as it is we should not take them up on their offer I guess.  We will fight with organized forces, not as some days of old hero.

[Taricus]

I'm pretty sure that vengeance should be directed towards those damned Lametanians. I mean, they did kill 2/3 of our kings

[Haspen]

Tied vote again (4 A and D) v;

[ZBridges]

Switched my vote back to A.

[Haspen]

You agree to their price and dedicate one of the dungeon chambers for them. They bow and march out from the throne room.

849 AD, Winter

"...and I demand that you kick them out! Those are dwarves, my dear! Your father had more thought to sever any links to those earthdwelling deathbringers!" Your elven mother paces about the room as you listen. Your wife interrupts.

"You're no longer his regent, miss! He can do whatever he wants - he is the King. And dwarves make pretty things."

"Dwarves bring DEATH and CURSES! And sorrow!"

A) Agree with your wife and let the dwarves continue.
B) Side with your mother and get the dwarves kicked out.

[ZBridges]

[NRDL]

A I've always hated the trope of the king who's a mommas boy, just as much as the king who's a well-done-son guy.  Let's stick to our guns ( and wifey ). 

[Harry Baldman]

A, we've had way more trouble, curses and death from elfmom pissing off the dwarves than we've had dealing with them. And I'm pretty sure if we throw them out now they'll be really fucking offended.

[Haspen]

You side with your wife and tell your mom off. She scoffs and leaves.

Later you learn she went on a trip to visit your sister again.

849 AD, Midwinter

Your wife gives birth to another child! This time, it is a girl, and she names her 'Igrid'.

849 AD, Late Winter

The dwarves arrive at your throne room, their leader holding a large package wrapped in old cloth. He then takes the cloth away, revealing a shiny cuirass that is decorated with bands and frills of many precious metals.

"It is the cuirass that you asked for. It is brass, but it shall protect you from blows as if made of steel. And the arrows, and darts and knives that would wish to travel the air and cause you harm will miss you instead of striking true. Now, it is time to pay us."

A) Have them taken to the Treasury so they can take the amount of wealth you agreed upon.
B) Have them taken to the Treasury... and ask the guards to get rid of them!

[Kashyyk]

As has been established, being a dick to dwarves is a bad idea. A

[Haspen]

You have them taken to the Treasury, where they take the wealth they were promised. You put on the cuirass to see how it fits on you - it fits perfectly, and is suprisingly light.

849 AD, End of the Year

The advisor drops by and you can see the Scrolls of Kingdom Status once again:

Happiness: 2
Population: 3
Economy: 5
Army: 4

Once you are done perusing, the advisor looks at you.

A) "No, no festivals for the peasants this time."
B) "Yeah, I know. Let's get some festivals going."
