Come now. We have plenty of heirs, and she only just died. We can wait a few years out of respect for an excellent wife.

Respect!

You leave the idea of re-marrying for later time.

967 AD, Winter

One of the mountains explodes and sent forth a wave of angry lizards!

Your scouts report that your peoples fled the immediate surroundings of the collapsed mountain. The large, rugged lizards are back and have begun setting up camps in the hills, seemingly not affected by the mild, rainy winter at all. The worst news is that they have brought with them three large orange six-legged lizards; using thin white ropes to guide them around.

An emergency council of war is set and several issues are decided upon there.

As for the strategy...

A) Let's use scouts to gain information and horsemen to harass the lizards, but we shall avoid confrontation for now.
B) Let's prepare our Army for GLORIOUS BATTLE OF MASSIVE SCALE!!

As for your participation in the campaign...

A) BUT OF COURSE!
B) I'm gonna stay at the palace this time.

As for calling someone to help...

A) Help? We don't need help, silly!
B) We shall call upon our senior to provide military aid!
C) We shall call upon dwarves to help defeat our mutual foe!
D) We need all help we can get - time to send envoys to Dahnia and Ankurvat!

Huh.

So, basically, the dwarfs failed in their task to ward against the lizardmen. On the other hand I just went back and read the year we were suppose to pay them, and I don't think we ever actually did paid them, it seems like they never showed up to collect.

So uh. I guess it's a wash?

AAD, might as well see if the dwarfs are up for some lizard slaying. Those orange things seem like bad news after all.

[Tiruin]

Oh thanks Dwarves :V
Thanks Dwarves :^
Now if ONLY we can redirect this to Ankurvat.

Or y'know, if only we made some emergency forewarning. ;~;

Hopefully our peoples fled well.

...I do hope that if the Dwarves come in, they won't ask for anything. >_>

Ahahahahaha.
They'll ask for double, if they come at all. Still, we'll have to pay up. Hopefully this time they do a better job of sealing them in.

Last time, we managed to defeat them. This time, there are more of them- which requires more support.

AAD,

Unless we exterminate the lizard people completely, they are just going to keep coming and coming, so we might as well just accept the fact that the dwarves have a superior bargaining position. They don't just have something that we want, they have something that we NEED!

[Criptfeind]

Maybe there's some other way we can deal with the lizardmen rather then simply failing to magically contain them with already proven to fail dwarf magic?

[Tiruin]

AAD,

Probably the reason they didn't show up to collect was that they knew they failed, but they appealed to us to at least gain something--plan out possible failure in the future, try their best or at least workably mediocre, and then write it off like a snake oil salesman.

They never had a superior bargaining position. Just magic. And we lack a good intelligence system.
