C, I don't think our services as a food taster are strictly required at the capital and honestly it's probably best to keep ourselves here in case it's part of some broader ploy. Delegating this kind of shit is what we have the Spymaster around for to begin with.

+1, if she's lethally poisoned we won't be able to do anything anyways.

We're martial, not like, wise or... lucky, or whatever would be needed to deal with this. We might just get poisoned ourselves if we go. So, let the spymaster do it. He has elf cloaked agents to help with anyway.

Why bother going?

Because our dear wife may not appreciate us not being by her side in these troubling times. Maintaining a good relationship with her is important as well.

You decide to leave the siege to the Marshal, taken eleven trusted bodyguards and then you ride westwards with haste.


Congratulations! Estwalf has quit the military campaign.


You return to the Palace within four days.

Much to your surprise, your wife, weak and bedridden, is still alive.

"Good news, my liege." The advisor bows his head. "The healers managed to draw out the quicksilver out of Queen Stela.

You query how, as quicksilver is a liquid highly toxic.

"I do not know how. I just know they did. Or maybe it was the One or the Pantheon that decided to spare her life, who knows." You then hold a council with some of the more politically and economically inclined courtiers about this situation. They inform you that the Calvendocian merchants surely had to pass through the lands of the nomads, then the Kiwi, and then through at least one of the small city-states on their way to Tven.

A) Clearly the Calvendocians are spies and hired assassins and not merchants! Suspend the trade at once and arrest the whole bunch!
B) Clearly it must be Kiwis, jealous of our power, our profits, or angry about our refusal to help them against the nomads. Declare war upon them at once!
C) Clearly... we do not have enough evidence. The Spymaster should send an investigation party into the western lands!

I mean, clearly it is the Kiwis, but that doesn't mean we should DOW them. So I guess that just leaves
