While it would be amazing to keep Llewyn in a dungeon for the rest of our own life, Man In The Iron Mask style, we really should free up some space, I think. And sorting out the royal family is a pretty good idea in general.

+1
(Also we're getting a better heir that won't kill off diplomacy in favor of BRUTAL FISTED WINNING. Seriously, those negotiation rolls--remember when Parsia had a nice time with us because of early diplomacy? THAT is what matters too.)

[Haspen]

You start preparations on a great wedding party for Tvadar and Igven.

You also let your other son, Llewyn, out of dungeon, two years was enough for a kid of his age. You also send a letter of pardon to Raellia's family.

859 AD, Mid-Spring

The guards report that a company of dwarves have arrived. You have them brought to the throne room.

They are smelly, draped in dark cloaks, and their purple and red and golden eyes glimmer in the afternoon light. They all bow before you, and the one wearing largest and most decorated cloak steps forward to speak.

"Greetings, human king. We have received the word that you seek for us so that we can work on a sample of sky iron, and indeed we wish to work it. And we heard that it is not a sample but few pieces of ore, smelted down from a falling star. That leaves us not much to work with, and instead of a full weapon it's only enough for a blade. Sky iron harms fanciful creatures, especially those of ill will. Tell me, what kind of small-bladed weapon you prefer?"

A) Tell them to fashion a knife's blade out of it, and then fuse it to some common metal.
C) Tell them to forge the sky iron into spearhead, and assemble weapon out of it.
C) Ask them if they can fashion something else out of the sky iron.

...How long has it been since the promise of payment for a necklace(?)? It was a few times back, forgot how long it has been :O We better save up to pay those dwarves--these ones aren't them though. But are they connected?

C

Info first before choices :3 (Although I'd love a glaive or halberd out of this thing, and...not given to this King. His predecessors maybe.)

You ask them if they can fashion this tiny amount of metal into something that isn't a weapon. They huddle together and discuss in their strange language for a long while.

Then their leader turns to you again.

"Human king, we believe we can fashion a piece of jewellery, as large as a bracelet. We would also enchant it so that it could protect you from the mystic powers of the fanciful creatures, if you ever get into a fight with one."

A) Great! Protective bracelet it is.
B) Naw, let's stick to a spear.
C) Naw, let's cling onto the knife.

Are we going to go all Hokuto Shinken on these fanciful monsters? Sweet.

[Harry Baldman]

Man, I'm feeling so very indecisive now.

Let's say B.

[Prophet]

A. Remember the dwarf curse that made all our children stillborn? Also what happened to that mace our father used?

[Haspen]

You tell them you want a knife after all.

"So be it. About the payment, we have already thought of the amount we desire." He then tells the number to your trade advisor, who furrows his brows.

"Sire, this will drain our Treasury quite a bit, considering we already set some away for your son's wedding feast. While I do not believe it will cripple the Kingdom, it will leave us penniless until the revenues will start flowing by the end of the year."

A) Agree to pay the dwarves that exact amount after they're done.
B) Inquire if there is another way you can pay them.
C) Ask if perhaps they could be persuaded to postpone the payment.

[Kashyyk]

Ask if we can pay half now and half later

C. We seem to be steadily accruing sources of income. I think this is the best bet.
