You prepare a speech to convince the demon to accept a smaller amount of wealth in gold.

877 AD, Four days later

At the very noon, the sky turns black and Doach'shavul Xestha'zael Cho'vac returns in the cloud of green, hideous smoke.

"I see no wealth prepared in this hall." He hisses and you stand up to deliver the speech.

3*

The demon growls and roars.

"Dare you mock me with your diplomacy, human. I shall take the gold, but you shall pay for trying to outsmart a powerful being like me." Cho'vac laughs and disappears in the cloud of putrid smoke.

Within few days you get all kinds of terrible news.

Firstly, the Treasurer reports that more than half of the wealth stored in the Treasury has mysteriously dissappeared.

Then, governors from the agrarian settlements report that terrible pestilence have befallen both the people and the crops; the former are bedridden and the latter withered en masse.

877 AD, Late Summer

Both the crop withering and the plague have stopped; but lots of crops have been destroyed and thousands of people have succumbed to the internal rot.

A) Dispense money to people so that they can buy themselves medicines to prevent further ailments.
B) Compose a letter in which you ask people of Luathbas to perservere and keep strong.
C) Buy another load of foodstuffs from abroad so the famine can be stopped before it begins.
D) Spend ton of money on medicine and food so that your people shall suffer no longer.

D We showed that demon.

[Harry Baldman]

D, let's ratchet up that spending. Eat, heal and be merry!

[Chevaleresse]

Told you so.

You tell the Treasurer to spend even more money on food plus some on the medicine. He weeps a little bit but sets out to work.

7*

The people of Luathbas get enough medicinal herbs and delicious foods from abroad, their stomaches filled by their benevolent King once again this year!

Your subjects cry in awe and gratitude, calling you 'The Savior', and soon this becomes your title and nickname amongst the people!

877 AD, Autumn

Apparently, as if it didn't have enough problems with its tiny size and tiny army, the Duchy of Koi have fallen victim to rebellion! Apparently, some young, long thought dead, heir of the Kiwi royal family have gathered enough support amongst some governors and knights that he could launch an offensive against the Koi royal family.

Currently, the rebels are in control of the northern, more forested and less developed half of the Koi. The court debates about this recent development. In the end, you decide to...

A) Do nothing - it's not your debacle.
B) Send an offer of help to the Duke of Koi: soldiers for money.
C) Send an offer of help to the rebel leader: soldiers for money.
D) Send an offer of help to the rebel leader, promising much help if he becomes your vassal in the future.
E) Send an offer of help to the Duke of Koi, promising much help if he becomes your vassal in the future.

Hmm. Much as I would like to choose one of the vassalize options, we are hard up for cash at the moment.
If the Duke of Koi wanted our protection, he should have accepted our generous offer back then.

[flazeo25]

D Well we can get taxes from them and are gonna need to expand west so we can open a more secure path for our army to attack the elves if given chance.

[Chevaleresse]

D. Money is temporary, territorial gains are (if you do it right) (mostly) forever.
