[Haspen]

You send your son a letter, trying to subtly ask about the things your spies discovered.

5

After two weeks, a reply arrives; Salus equally subtly tells you to mind your own matters, thank you very much. He does reassure you that he isn't going to stab your back soon, and whatever evidence you've gathered are forgeries planted for your spies by vile enemies, whoever they be.

980 AD, Autumn

Gemstones from last year are sold to Damdamians for glassware and extra coin.

1to2

Treasury does not profit much from the exchange, but your people though! People are ecstatic to have such luxurious items easily at hand and regular intervals.

980 AD, Mid-Autumn

Just as you receive a whisper from your servant that Spymaster wishes to see you, one of the gate guards arrives in your throne room.

"Sire, an envoy from King Eón of Dahnia has arrived and is asking for audience with you." You decide to speak with...

A) Dahnian envoy.
B) The Spymaster.

[crazyabe]

B, He Might have info that Might save us, Besides which he probably won't take as long as the Envoy as long as he isn't here to try an assassination at least.

[Harry Baldman]

B, might as well see what our court jester has to say.

[DolosusDoleus]

B.
"Sire,we discovered that one of your sons sent you a letter regarding some sort of plot somewhat recently!"

[NUKE9.13]

Well, what'd'y know, sending that letter gave us zero useful information. Guess we better beef up the borders. :/
Anyway, the spymaster may have something to say that affects what we say to our senior (for example, that our senior is plotting against us)

B

[Haspen]

You decide to speak with the Spymaster.

"Sire, we have news about Prince Ulan." You close the door behind you.

"Finally!"

"Our agents had to travel far into the Gubta eastlands, and few have failed to report back." You look at him funny and he continues on the subject:

"Apparently, your son have, by accident, married and impregnated a Gubtan noblewoman-widow, but then he got into a fight with her not-so-dead husband, losing several servants in the fight; he fled through the swampish area that Gubtans call 'Lakes of Thousand Snakes'. That was in late 978, if our Gubtan sources are to be trusted. He was last seen entering the forests of Saravay Kingdom, still chased by the soldiers of the angry nobleman, and no person matching his description has been seen since. My agents have attempted to seek him there, to no avail."

A) "It's all Gubta's fault! It's time I send them some very blunt and very angry letters, demanding they find Ulan and pay for his grieviances!!"
B) "Send your agents further east and bring Ulan back in one piece, or else!"
C) "Truly, he is lost to us now. Naught to do but declare Atan as my new heir."

[Swordstar]

B

:v I thought he was supposed to be wise

[10ebbor10]

A

[Prophet]

Kinda sad that there isn't a option to send assassins at the bastard who would attempt to harm our son B I don't think the Gupta will care much about what happened to our son and will probably ignore us.

[Chiefwaffles]

So, quick question, what do the "XtoY" rolls mean?
And I kind of want to do a "wait and see" survival-of-the-fittest-type thing with Ulan, but alas, B.

[NUKE9.13]

Exploring the mysteries of the east, eh?
Who the flip does he think he is, getting married without our consent? A peasant? Because they're the only ones who get to marry whoever they like.
Well, might as well try to get him back.

B

Also, somewhat worrying that the option to reinforce the south has not come up again. Choosing to send that letter may've been an even worse idea than I thought.

[Harry Baldman]

B

Well, he's clearly had an adventure. Let's see if he's gone and died or if we're to have a new adventurer-duke after all.
