Seconding that motion.

[Haspen]

You say that you believe the Army is fine as it is.

The commander grunts in response and then storms off from the throne room.

804 AD, Autumn

Spies bring interesting information about the Kingdom of Parsia in the east; apparently a civil war broke out there and the nearby province of Augas, with its central location and being a hub of trade routes, is weak and ripe for taking!

The advisor warns however that while Parsia might be weak now, they are known to be able to do some serious ass-kickings when angered.

A) Send the army to conquer Augas so we can get filthy rich!
B) We have enough problems to deal at home, let's stay put.

Who doesn't want more land?

This.

This too. Our intelligence seems lopsided because we need info if we're at more relations with them.

[Haspen]

Briefly, but only briefly, you are tempted to send the army, but decide otherwise.

804 AD, Winter

"A Dragon!?"

"I-I swear for me life, sirreh, a motherfucking DRAGON f-from the north is laying waste to th-the city of Blich!!" The terrified messenger barely spits the words out. "It demands a f-fair maiden and half the kingdom's treasury if we want th-the city to survive!!"

This is a very serious situation and therefore the council convenes with you. The decision is as follows:

A) Find a fair maiden for the dragon and give him her along with half the Treasury's worth.
B) Request that the Army sets forth and slays the dragon.
C) Personally set forth and challenge the dragon to a duel.!
D) Alas, the Crown can't hope to solve the dragon dilemma! May the gods have mercy on the souls of the soon-to-be incinerated citizens of Blich.

Attack, men! Attack!

Most fun. Save our men too.
Maybe we can be best friends in a lucky roll. (You are rolling for this, right? ._.)

[Taricus]

C, because we can't negotiate to just give the dragon several maidens

[Haspen]

The Council is aghast when you announce that you shall personally fight the dragon.

They try to persuade you out of it but you decide otherwise.

Few days later you appear at the gates of City of Blich (or what's left of it) with your royal entourage, and challenge the dragon to a duel!

The Dragon roars in a laughing manner but accepts the duel.

4

You charge against the dragon and poke his leg with a lance, and he breathes fire at your direction. The cloud of flames engulfs your horse and sears your legs and face and hands. You tumble from the horse and then roll away while the few courageous squires pap you with snow to extinguish the flames.

You and your entourage then outrun another fiery breath of the creature, while the dragon roars in amusement.

As you return to the capital, you receive news that the dragon have completely wasted City of Blich and promised to be back later for more 'fun'.

Oh, and your subjects are very angry about how you handled this affair.

804 AD, Midwinter

The population censuses have been compiled; as prognosised during last year's harvest, the population did increase.

804 AD, End of the Year

The advisor arrives to help change your bandages and also present you the Scrolls of Kingdom Status, per usual this time of year:

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

The advisor sighs and sets the scrolls aside.

"My liege, I cannot help but point out that general mood of the populace is rather low. There have been reports of some peasants turning to banditry and some city dwellers resorting to rioting. We can either turn part of the Army into the city and road guard to reign the unruly subjects in. Or we can thin our Treasury and host some entertaining venues and/or grandiose monuments to strengthen their belief in your rulership."

A) Turn a part of the Army into guards to enhance stability
B) Spend money on venues and festivals to appease the populace
C) Do nothing, as we might find a better way to solve this in the future
