C

maybe we'll get lucky!

[Puppyguard]

A - Well, we told the elves we'd attack them.
B - Hey! Let's try and starve the dwarves! *2 years later* Sir, our scouts report the dwarves have underground farms.
C - I think this option will just cause us to be assassinated by elves.
D - I think this option will cause us even more elven assassination attempts.

[vastaghen12]

Since they are surrounded by farmland, B might actually work.

So B.

[NUKE9.13]

An all-out assault would be suicidal.
We might not starve them into submission quickly, but we can at least scope out their defences a bit more, probe for weaknesses, and more importantly, wait for reinforcements. I'm hoping the elves will join us, since this was their idea and all.
We lose nothing by waiting; by all accounts the dwarven homeland is far, far away. Even if they can somehow summon reinforcements, they will take months to get here. And given the farmland surrounding the city, we shall not want for supplies ourselves.

If they could produce their own foodstuffs, why would they have human farmers?

If we get cursed by the dwarves, we'll ask the Elves for help. They might be good for that.

Frankly, considering the insultingly low reward they offered (and we accepted for some reason), I wouldn't be surprised if the elves turn out to be stingier than the dwarves, and demand some sort of payment for removing a curse.
:/

While I'm still giving the Elves a benefit of the doubt...I didn't notice it means "we'll trade just stuff for 300 soldiers or whatever and y'all hit this place", which probably means we're just a decoy in all this o_O
But honestly, I think this is something tied to something way back--I do recall the Elves attacked our allies as Luathbas (and wow, THEY get to talk with them or loot them while all we got is assassins nobody could even protect against :I)

But WE SHOULD GET ANOTHER LUCKY PERSON or have Luck as our highest priority :3
Y'know, if we die.

Also can't we just talk to those fellows and explain 'we're a traveling army off down south and not attacking Ankurvat'? ._.; [/desperation]

...I bet they've got tunnels, but let's find out.
B
Y'know, tunnels into human farmland because 'hey these guys OWE US [not because we just decided to hop in and market Luathbas' debts even more by our reasoning nope]'.
>_>
Dwarves be a really stingy folk. Let's hope these Elves do pay out in similar ways, but hopefully situationally better.
Also it seems we're going to use those cloaks in B for scouting and such, and the stones are...battle stuff.

You declare that a siege be started.

958 AD, Summer

Two months later and the siege continues.

A messenger brings news from the court;  your senior, Tinwulf II, has learned of your offensive against Ankurvat, and was heard saying that it is something he does not approve of.

Your officers gather for a meeting with you...

A) Continue with the siege!
B) Prepare an assault!
C) Better scram back home!

[Tiruin]

You declare that a siege be started.

I felt like this was "A". XD

C.
We did our job :O

We need a stronger excuse to pull back.

[Tiruin]

A

We need a stronger excuse to pull back.

Our King being displeased is the biggest excuse reason we're doing this In the feudal system, he's the reason we're a Duke in charge of lands and people.

That and the Elves will understand anyway. We did our part for two months. (Probably because he has more info than what the Diplomat gave or the Dwarven side of the story, or other stuff that maybe aren't as good). Either way, if your authority is being , it's good to listen to them in this context.

Although I'm voting C because I really didn't like the sounds of what had happened, and we can diplomacy our way out anyway if the Elves feel grumpy about it. (two months feels long enough, right?)

[VoidSlayer]

A fing elves haven't shown up, so no assault.  We can flee later if forces show up.
