You write a letter with demands for monetary compensation for the raids and the ransom for the nobleman.

962 AD, Mid-Spring

The reply quickly arrives; a wagonload of money is brought to you under escort of a hundred of Eist soldiers led by an envoy.

"This is the money you requested. Now let our pious companion go."

A) Accept the money, and then tell the envoy to go back and bring ransom money as well!
B) Accept the money and let the courtier go.
C) Refuse the money, saying that you demand much more than a wagon of trinkets.

Gouging them further would further cause unrest. And we cannot afford that.

The Treasury gains some, the dungeon cells lose one. A good trade, that.

962 AD, Summer

A war trumpet of Dahnia greets you one morning. The envoy of King Tinwulf II arrives wearing chainmail and the banner of his master.

"Greetings, Grand Duke of Tven, Estwalf, choosen by the Council!" He greets you hurriedly in the audience room. "Our beloved lord and master, King Tinwulf II, has grown tired of the Eist raiding of your borderlands, especially when in one such raid his cousin was wounded. He therefore calls to arms his subjects, to beat the zealots of Eist back to their homelands. King Tinwulf requests as many footsoldiers and cavalry as you can provide."

"You could also lead the men yourself, my liege." Says the advisor, leaning towards you. "That would boost your prestige and the morale of your men, too."

As for the matter of support...

A) We can spare only few soldiers, unfortunately.
B) Time to send our Army to conquer Eist. Onwards!
C) Soldiers we cannot give, but how about some war supplies?

As for your presence in the war...

A) TIME FOR FAME AND GLORY!
B) Imma stay at the palace, yo.

//If you pick C as first choice, do not choose anything from second list.

We want our king to like us

B and A.

He scratched our back. Let's scratch his.

[NUKE9.13]

Our army still needs to recover its strength. This is no time to throw it into battle once more. Also, soldiers not coming home can upset people.
That being said, we can spare a few soldiers. And get some more experience whilst we're at it.

A, A

[Harry Baldman]

B, A! This is the kind of thing we were made to do.
