unlike this one Kiwi person bard man who just died for some reason after living near a century.

Pretty sure that was his grandson or something. I mean, how many Houlandines were called Houlandine? They weren't all the same person.

Time for some open battles.

You order the Marshal to go north and help King Tinwulf.

963 AD, Mid-Spring

News come from the war front; together with the Marshal, King Tinwulf II have won a battle against the Eist, and begun negotiations once again.

963 AD, Late Spring

It is time for envoys again.

Not one.

Not two.

But four diplomats wish to meet with you on the very same day!

There is one representative of the Dwarves of Zasitost, one is from the Merchants of Calvendocia, the third is from the distant Kashite Kingdom and there's also one from Kingdom of Ceodwell, your homeland.

The dwarf wishes to speak about an 'artifact' or something of the kind. The representative from Calvendocia is here to speak about the trade deal with your Duchy. The diplomats of the Kashite and Ceodwell refuse to give details, but say they come directly from their respective masters.

You tell the guards to bring in...

A) The dwarf from Zasitost.
B) The Calvendocian representative.
C) The envoy from Kashite.
D) The diplomat from Ceodwell.

I think we'll want to get a handle on what our money situation is going to be like before we talk to the greedy as fuck dwarfs.

Changed vote to B

[Harry Baldman]

B, let's see what they've got to tell us.

[NUKE9.13]

Yeah, that makes sense.

If the dwarves think they are gonna get that knife back for free... they better think again.

You start with the Calvendocian merchant representative.

"Greetings! I bring an offer from the Council of Calvendocia." He bows with respect. "The Council has found out that your people haven't discovered the marvels of Fireblood yet. The Council offers to divulge the secrets on its manufacture, storage and handling for a certain price."

"Burning grease?" Your Advisor speaks up as your courtiers murmur.

"A thick, greasy, reddish-black substance that can be made solid with help of certain powdered mixture. With proper care and handling, a length of rope can be attached, lit and the grease-ball tossed at one's enemies, setting their camp aflame. The substance is hard to extinguish and easily wreaks havoc upon the foes."

"The Council wishes to receive, as a price, a total tax exemption on the current trade deal we have for the next ten years." The Advisor leans towards you.

"If we do that, we will hardly profit from the luxuries, and to be honest I'm afraid we might lose a bit of coin on it, too." You decide to...

A) Negotiate the price or offer something else for the secrets of this marvelous 'Fireblood'.
B) Bluntly reject this attempt at daylight robbery.
C) Accept, if only to get your hands on a easily manufactured fiery weapon of destruction.

It should become common knowledge eventually.
