I'm not sure what "servants" mean, someone skilled, a scholar or a maid to clean his clothes?

But bleh... B,B maybe it won't draw too much attention. Have enough so he can transport a bunch of resources and come with new ones.

Small and capable.

An adventure to be sure!

[Harry Baldman]

BB in case of any trolls/pirates/magical creatures of death and destruction. Don't spend them all at once, son!

[birdy51]

AB sounds like my favorite, as it makes the incognito thing easier. But BB isn't bad either.

[Criptfeind]

No choice to let him choose? He's the one who wants to do this adventure after all.

Overall I'm conflicted, adventures don't all need to be harrowing travels though the world, sending him with a small army and notices from us is perfectly reasonable, he could go trading in far flung realms which seems pretty great. Learning from foreign kings and royalty. On the other hand if he wants to "slum" it out there, sending him out with a few good men in secret for him to just tool around the world and see what's what would be perfectly fine as well.

Hum...

"You will be traveling incognito so nobody can use you for their political advantage... I will arrange you two dozen guards, a personal healer, a linguist, maybe a cook, an appriaser or accountant could be useful to you as well..."

Seven nights from that moment, you bid your son farewell. Under the darkness of the clouded night sky, you watch the caravan of thirty people on horses quietly leave the city through the gate, with you watching. Ulan turns in his saddle and raises his hand at you in a goodbye, and then you never see him again.

...Nah, just joking with the last part.

We will see how it goes!

977 AD, Mid-Spring

Tails

The courtiers murmur and buzz after the secret about Ulan's voyage became well-known.

"Sire! We ask you that you consider making Atan your son and heir. He might have nothing special about him except his endurance and health, but Ulan might not return fast enough in case you die."

A) "No! Ulan shall be the only heir!"
B) "Fine, I will include Atan's succession in my will."

[NUKE9.13]

Nah, that could cause problems when Ulan returns. If he doesn't show up in a few years, we can reconsider.

Son creature will return on day. We must be sure of it! Until then, we just need to avoid fighting Hydras.

You attempt to convince the nobles to believe in Ulan's return.

Many grumble, but they seem accepting of this. They will surely grumble again soon enough.

977 AD, Autumn

The caravan from Damdamia unloads its glass wares and quickly earns hard cash from it, taking your malachite stones with them.

2to5

Everyone in the capital city - and beyond - talks only about this fine glasswares lately. People are ecstatic to have access to such valuable, quality items for everyday use. They praise your resourcefulness.

977 AD, Mid-Autumn

The harvests were pretty bontiful this year, mostly due to Hurthlings' expertise in the field (ha!), as the weather was relatively harsh this summer.

Governors and priests alike believe that this is a good moment to thank the deities for good harvest and for the people to consume part of their foodstuffs and beverages in a large harvest festival sponsored by the Duke.

A) Sure, let's partaaay!
B) Naw, not this year.
