[Haspen]

The priests are happy to hear that you will be joining the hunt - and also funding it.

Next week you, along with several prominent nobles, like your brother the Duke, and some others, ventures into the forests north of the castle.

Two brown stags are hunted to provide for the feast after the event, but no white stags are found.

"My liege! Look there!" You and others look at the direction pointed by one of the squires - and there it is! A large, white stag with glowing red eyes, standing on a forested hill, staring down at you!

A) You're the king! Call dibs on the white stag!
B) Let skilled hunters chase and catch the beast.

[Lucus Casius]

Eh, what the hell.  The worst that could happen is we die, and it'd definitely be a big prestige boost.

You tell the others that you will try to hunt it down by yourself!

Therefore you chase it into the trees, your horse more than capable to match its speed and ease of navigation through the trees.

You finally catch it at the end of a cliff that goes down to meet with a small river snaking underneath. The white stag looks at you as your pick an arrow, then pull the bowstring...

"Stop, master of metal that burns."

You just heard a voice in your head!

"I am Kiardane, the spirit of a forest from far north, and a guest in the body of this noble stag. If he dies, so I will, due to the workings of the spirit world. Spare my host, and thus me, and I shall grant you a boon of either power or knowledge." You remember, however, that the priests said that sacrifice of a white stag could definitely bring prosperity upon your people and your country...

A) Shoot the stag.
B) Spare the spirit's host.

[NRDL]

B. Since when have the priests known or done anything good for us, let's listen to the actual fucking forest spirit.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

B

I'm thinking knowledge. Who's north? The Lame people who kept attacking us. Knowledge may lead to successfully conquering them. Power is also neato if we decide that.

[Lucus Casius]

I'm reluctant, but I guess I'll go with B.

[Haspen]

You take the arrow off the bow and lower the weapon.

"Thank you, noble master of burning metal, for sparing my existence. As I said, I can provide you with knowledge or power, though you have to tell me what it is that your heart desires."

A) Knowledge
B) Power

[NRDL]

A, knowledge IS power

[Tiruin]

We're totally fulfilling some prophecy out there, or at least being a nice, good king.

[Haspen]

You think about knowledge.

"I shall give you knowledge. In six years time, the slayers of your father shall regain their strength, and, under guidance of a ruthless doe, shall strike with huge numbers of warriors and little warning, which shall spell your doom unless you prepare for them well." Before you can ask for details, the white stag turns around and then effortlessly jumps - or, you could say, flies - across the huge ravine, reaching the other side and disappearing between the trees.

You return to the rest of the hunting group with sad news that unfortunately the white stag managed to flee.

"Ah, we were prepared for this to happen." Says the leading priest. "In last two centuries, and eleven hunts, we hath captured and sacrificed the white stag only once. Mayhaps your sons, or sons of your sons, shall have more luck."

You return to the castle after the feast were two previously hunted, normal stags, are main dishes.

825 AD, Summer

A Hurthling delegation have arrived, all of them in pink cloaks.

"Our good hew-mon sirreh!" They squeak. "We are plentiful, and we are working hard, and we are paying taxes to the good governah, and our Chiiftain asked him to let us join important offices to have representation, but the governah said no! So Chiiftain sent us here because he always had the ear of good hew-mon King!" You...

A) Promise that you write a letter to the governor in which you shall ask that Hurthlings are allowed to take important positions amongst humans.
B) Won't help them because there must be a line drawn between the integration of the two societies.
