I'm guessing the Kiwi want help. If their request is reasonable, we could gain a decent ally here.

[Draignean]

A

Because it's more likely to be about our trade relations, and change our response to whatever the bloody Kiwis want to propose.

[Weirdsound]

Good point. Vote changed to A.

[Prophet]

A Let's see what the republican dogs have to say.

[Haspen]

The Damdamian envoy is let in first.

"Greetings, Grand Duke of Tven! I bring bad news and good news to you this day. The bad news are that our glassworks are suffering a decline and therefore we need to cease sending you our glasswares for the time being. The good news is that the Senate, taking into account the people's praise of your gemstones and their quality, has decided to uphold the trade route and is inquriing wherever you would agree to exchange gemstones for some other good?"

"What goods can you offer?" The trade advisor perks up.

"The Republic has plenty of salt to offer, to preserve your foods and to give them a sharper taste. We also can offer curious minerals, like cinnabar and saltpetre, which can be used in many processes, for dyes like cinnabar, or to preserve meat with saltpetre. We also offer the expensive leafworm cloth, delicate, translucent and luxurious fiber that has adorned many a Damdamian noblewomen and noblemen thorough decades." Courtiers murmur and the trade advisor leans in.

"Salt could bring luxury to our commoners, sire, while leafworm cloth would surely bring us profits from merely being middlemen to our nobles. Cinnabar and other ores could be useful but it sounds like a risky, maybe even unprofitable deal, if you ask me." You thank him for his advice, and ultimately decide to exchange dwarven your gemstones for...

A) The luxurious and highly przed leafworm cloth.
B) The peasant's luxury seasoning, aka salt.
C) Ores of minerals like cinnabar, saltpeter and others.

Or...

D) Decline further trade with the Republic.

[Draignean]

C!

Give that Saltpeter to the alchemist.

Regimented ranks and primitive cannons.

[Prophet]

B Make the peasants happy. Just in case we need to mobilize them again.

A

we need that cash! $$

[crazyabe]

A.
We can buy C when they run out of A.

[Prophet]

A Well actually yeah. Our economy wasn't doing so well was it? Getting that back up will probably be good.

[Haspen]

You agree to exchange gemstones for the valuable leafworm cloth.

As the envoy leaves, the gate guard comes back in.

"My liege, besides the Kiwi envoy, there's now a messenger from your liege, King Eón of Dahnia, saying its urgent."

A) "Fine, let the Dahnian in then!"
B) "He needs to wait! Bring in the Kiwi."

[Harry Baldman]

A! The boss is the boss!
