Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

[Criptfeind]

A

Seems about right.

[Detoxicated]

Indeed.. Also we have lost the opportunity to have nice dwarves...

[Criptfeind]

Or dodged the opportunity to have awful dwarfs, depending on how you look at it.

[Prophet]

A ;-; Knowing the Dwarves they'll remember this for the rest of the game and make us regret it later or something. When they like you it's awesome but when ya do something to piss em off it can get reeaaaallly bad. Especially when they start throwing curses around.

[Lucus Casius]

B.

[Criptfeind]

Good thing we dodged the infinite chances to piss them off for every little thing when they are living in our country then.

[VoidSlayer]

Honestly it was a bad deal.  Tribute for 10 years? Sure.  Tribute FOREVER?  REALLY?

At that point we are basically their tributary.

[Puppyguard]

A

[Haspen]

You accept the deal.

"We will now leave for the silver mines you own and see if how much new silver we can find." They bow their heads and leave the throne room.

1085, Late Autumn

You receive a collective letter of praise and blessing from the heads of local Alldivine Cloisters. They thank you for donating a fortified keep to their cause, even if it is in need of repair, they will be able to put it in good condition.

Few days later, the dwarven prospectors return.

"Your mines are indeed close to the exhaustion of silver ore. We have however shown the miners where to dig - we estimate that you should be able to obtain ore from your mines for another twenty or thirty years. Your manager says he will resume full operations by next year." The dwarven leader steps forward.

"Now we wish to be paid for our services."

A) "A deal is a deal. Go visit the Treasurer so he gives you your promised coin."
B) "Hold it up, how I'm supposed to know it's truth? I want to postpone your payment."
C) "Never! Guards, get rid of these putrid earthy creatures!"

[VoidSlayer]

A Better to risk losing a bit of gold then a dwarven curse, or so the old saying goes.

[Puppyguard]

A
The dwarves have been such good business partners, I doubt they would backstab us.

[crazyabe]

A.
Dwarves are businessmen, not backstabbers.

[Kashyyk]

B but reword it as "You asked for one year of the silver mine's output.  So that is literally what your will get.  I will have this coming year's mine output sent to you."

[Harry Baldman]

A, it's hardly artifact money they're asking for here.

[Haspen]

You let the dwarves take the money.

1085 AD, Winter

Gemstones and the various minerals arrive from your mines at your palace.

1085 AD, Midwinter

An envoy of King Salus of Lametania has arrived at your palace and has requested to talk with you about urgent matter:

The Pillar of Quiet Disturbance, an earthly giant, has appeared in Lametania! It's has chubby legs and thin arms, and it's tall body is comprised of highly viscous black mud. Its two beady eyes are set on its head almost sixty feet above ground. It doesn't have any other facial features. It intones the names of those it has slain and disturbs the dreams of sleeping folk with incessant whispers. Beware its necrotic aura!

King Salus of Lametania is already looking for a wizard while his troops are preparing to battle the monstrosity, which already laid waste to more than ten settlements, but he also sent to you to see if you can help him in any way with such a monstrosity. You decide to...

A) Send some troops to help bring down the terror.
B) Send some money so that Lametanias will it easier to deal with the aftermath.
C) Search for a Wizard on behalf of King Salus.
D) Apologize as you don't see any way in which you could help.
