[Haspen]

You order the garrison (of which the Dahnians now comprise a half or so) to rush out in glorious charge while all of the firestones shall be thrown beforehand upon the Damdamian's heads!

3

The salvos are out... and off. Many of the stones, mishandled by your engineers, explode too late or too early, the tongues of flame rolling on the grass or falling into the moat. Only a few of them strike the Damdamians, putting several of their ranks on fire and disorganizing a small part of the siegeing force, located to the west.

But there's no way back as your men open the gates and charge out into the fray, led by Dahnian horsemen, and by Ceodwell in mail and on a horse, as he got better and decided to help.

3*

Alas, the charge goes bad as some of Damdamian light cavalry shows up at the least opportune time, and clash with the Dahnians. As the sky turns orange, the leftovers of your men are back at the palace, and Ceodwell is rushed to healer's ward as he had sustained further wounds.

And while your brother is being under care of the healers, your courtiers convene another council.

"Friends, we have four hundred soldiers left, the Damdamians continue to besiege us, and I don't think we have any more reinforcements coming up. It is obvious what we should ask our Princess." They all stand up and look at you.

"Princess Aife, you will begin negotiations with Damdamians at once." This time there's no one about the (thinned out) nobleman council that would even disagree with this. You, however, has to decide...

A) Adamantly refuse.
B) Ask them to wait a week.
C) Call up loyal soldiers to deal with this hive of plotting and disloyalty.
D) Send a messenger to the Damdamians.

D - Unless we want to kill off the Houlandine dynasty, this is our only option.

D. At worst we can survive as Foederati.

[Criptfeind]

That is very much the worst. Honestly might as well try to succeed at the risk of failure rather then accept failure at the risk of even more failure.

[vastaghen12]

Did the dwarven runemasters die?

D.

We're Gifted, we probably need to take care of our health, lead all campaigns, and stay away from plauges and possible heretical cult symbols from the Damdamians and their god.

In which Tiruin theorizes that this 'magic' or God powers is bolstered by the fervence and sincerity of their believers. Given all the death priests going to die, or at least a majority of the zealous believers, it worked out that way--compared to that one time where we had one of the dynasty people being sick and healed and got a 6. [/reallyvaguethinking at midnight while tired]

But yeah. I still blame the vague messenger.

Did the dwarven runemasters die?

This time, it's unstated. Although I do wonder how our engineers fared if the Dahnians weren't the ones to...actually work with it.

[Kashyyk]

If we surrender to the Damdamians I beleive one of two things wil happen:
Either the Houlandine dynasty is executed/exiled and Lauthbas is a declared a province of the Empire or we get a load of land and money taken off of us and have to sign some stuff to make us less of a pain in the ass t othem.

If we don't surrender now, one of two things will happen:
The Damdamians storm and loot the city, then do one of the above or our own people kill us and surrender on their own.


We've lost. We have to accept that gracefully whilst attempting to lose as little face, land and control as we can. Anything else will just encourage them to do away with us and install their own governor.

[Tiruin]

Wait. D means surrender?!

NOT D.
We'll also lost the Pantheon religion, alongside facing whatever they did to the Lamentanians (SEE WHAT HAPPENED; THEY GOT ERADICATED, and most likely we'll be facing Roman-esque rule, which also includes extermination while giving a REALLY HEAVY tax on several things I can't think about but feel more stable and sure that it's a bad idea with)

Probably me assuming more however, but Haspen: What does "D" involve? What will happen if this occurs? Diplomacy?

B
I do wonder if this week is something specific. There's supposedly something going to occur during that time (and that we've never tried a 'waiting option' since...ever, in any campaign where we're facing danger and not winning). There was always the option to act chosen first.

[flazeo25]

The terms before given by them were bad enough but know if we surrender they will take everything and will likely execute all of our family.

D will end up getting game over.

[Harry Baldman]

D, let's see what terms they are willing to offer to put an end to this.

The terms before given by them were bad enough but know if we surrender they will take everything and will likely execute all of our family.

I mean, if we don't they'll do that but without asking for our consent first.

[Tiruin]

The terms before given by them were bad enough but know if we surrender they will take everything and will likely execute all of our family.

Similar along this line of thinking.
Surrendering is NOT a good option, is my straight opinion here.

But rushing out with our people are NOT a good option either (C).

Haspen: What does "D" involve? What will happen if this occurs? Diplomacy?

Also what's the status of our current defenses? We've the idea that we're still being besieged, but by how strong and what kind of force. It's as if the Damdamians, due to being 2x our number, seem innumerable. x.x Still wonder what's the tally of our wins and losses.
