The Lametanians are not the only ones who can beg.

As we show generosity, let us hope we are shown it in return. C.

You send an envoy to your senior with request for foodstuffs.

970 AD, Mid-Autumn

The envoys return; the one sent to the Kashite was turned away by their king. The one sent to Dahnia returns with words from your senior:

"The Kingdom of Dahnia is itself suffering from bad harvests, and therefore King Eón has no foodstuffs to provide for you. He can send you money to cover your expenses by Winter, however." You send the envoy to Dahnia with words of gratitude, but the problem of famine remains. It's time to...

A) Search for grain merchants and buy some grain with our own coin!
B) Grieve and despair about our terrible situation.
C) Seek a Wizard, as this is clearly supernatural occurence!
D) Demand grain from Lametanians as payment for our monetary aid in previous years.

[NUKE9.13]

Ah, yes, excellent. Time for them to pay us back. The throne of a perpetually bankrupt kingdom is not compensation enough.

D, it's useful in that we can find out if this is happening all throughout the area. Could it be that the Luathbasian region will be undone by the dread specter of climate change like many empires before it?

You send an envoy to Lametania.

970 AD, Late Autumn

5*

Queen of Lametania sends her regards and agreed to set a number of grain caravans to Tven; the Lametanians had bad harvest this year as well but the weather and harvests in previous years allowed them to stockpile enough foodstuffs to share some with you.

While it fixes the problem in only a short-term, the peasants are pacified and their bellies filled.

970 AD, Winter

The last of the chests filled with Dahnian coinage ends in the Treasury, and thus the Advisor turns to you.

"What shall we do with the money, my liege?"

A) "Keep it in my hoard, of course!"
B) "Procure more foodstuffs from abroad with it."
C) "Send it to Hurthlings to buy their freedom."

[NUKE9.13]

Well, 'negotiations' with the Kashites failed, so I guess we fall back to the money option. Buy us some Hurthlings!

HURTHLINGS

NOW AND FOREVER

B

Kingo is going to be pissedo if we beg for food money and spend it on slaves.

[Harry Baldman]

Hey, we're financing our food lifeline here potentially. If the Hurthlings can fix that, boom, no need for more foodstuffs and everyone's happy.

[omada]

C we got grains, now we need professional help as a long-term investment.
