Let's take A balanced approach

[Zetaark]

[Haspen]

You have extra peasants drafted to provide numbers for the mines' garrison.

Then you let the King's diplomat in.

"Greetings, Duke Estwalf, I bring dire news and a demand of assistance from our good King! A throng of ugly, hairy things called Trolls have invaded the eastern riches of the Kingdom! Sheep, cattle, humans - they devour all, a ravenous horde seemingly guided by some smarter and stronger of these loathsome beasts."

"King Tinwulf II therefore asks that you provide troops, which he knows you have got a few in recent years, as well as a large amount of war supplies and money for mercenaries and Dahnian war effort." You think for a moment and decide to...

A) Send both part of your Army and a load of supplies to Dahnia to help repel the trollish invasion.
B) Reject the demands and send the envoy back home, making up some excuse for your senior as well.
C) Tell him that you cannot spare troops, but can spare money and resources.
D) Tell him that you cannot spare money nor supplies, but you can send some soldiers.

I'm telling you, by now the treasury is not so full. We need to be more careful with our spending.

D

[Harry Baldman]

Actually wait, I know how this works. You try to kill the paranormal creatures but it doesn't work so you seek the aid of a supernatural helper and/or lvl. 40+ adventurers!

So let's just send some cash, C! troops, D!

[helmacon]

D

noooope to spending more cash.

[Haspen]

You gladly provide both troops and supplies against the invasion of the beasts.

Meanwhile, the battle for the Duaz mines goes over span of few days, as the report puts it, but your garrison, even with heavy losses, destroys the attacking troops and sends the remainder fleeing towards their host cities!

The mines remain in your grip for now.

965 AD, Midwinter

6_{what's with all those 6, honestly!?}

Once again, the deal with Calvendocians proves to be most profitable; your people prosper and enjoy higher standards of living as your Treasury reaps piles of coin from taxes and such!

966 AD, Late Winter

Freshly stamped bars and minted coins arrive from Duaz hills! The gold is stored in the Treasury, much to the joy of the Treasurer himself.

965 AD, End of the Year

The Advisor appears at your bedroom for obvious purpose.

Happiness: 4
Population: 5
Economy: 4
Army: 4

And the numbers remain quite good!

966 AD, Spring

You receive a letter from King Tinwulf II; he praises your loyalty and thanks for brave men and war supplies that you've sent, as they're already proving useful in the Dahnian war against the trollish menace.

Few days later you receive a delegation of priests from the Houlandine Temple Of Rainbowscale Peak.

"O, great Duke." The bald head-priest bows slowly. "Our old temple has fallen in disrepair and is a truly sore sight to all those pilgrims that visit the site for prayer or to read the ancient Luathbasian books and Houlandine scriptures. We therefore come to seek monetary aid from you so that we can restore our temple to former glory and beauty." You decide to...

A) Donate money to the temple.
B) Do not give to the poor monks.

[NUKE9.13]

I vaguely recall something about us establishing such a temple... I think?
Regardless, the mild deification of our bloodline is a worthy cause. Let them have their donations.

And it was Merachd the lucky one... pfff

A religion at our side, yes. Maybe they will tell more about us in their preach to the pilgrims and send important individual ones to us.
