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.

An assassin? OF COURSE LET HIM IN B

You decide to meet with the enigmatic traveler for a private audience.

After your Shadowranks greenlight the approaching man for possessing no weapons, you two meet in a small study.

The veiled man wears a long robe that covers all but his eyes. As he sits down, he pulls down the hood and unwraps his face veil, revealing burn scars, but that is more than enough for you to identify him, considering you saw him not that long ago.

"Uncle Hein?"

"Greetings, Emperor. I've come to warn you! Feir has decided that now Methiant-Cydwyl is weak, and your foolish rule is a clear sign that you've lost approval of both people and the gods. He is going to show you that Eldrican should be the true Empire in these parts."

"He's going to invade, then."

"Yes, but from what I know he has only begun the preparations. For the moment, he has more money than regular soldiers, so he has entered negotiations with dwarves and Damdamians to obtain mercenaries. I'm pretty sure he will also call Rucusians to help him with the fighting, but I'm not sure how much they will be willing. Still I believe you might have as little as a year to restore order in Methiant and prepare for the war."

"What you're doing is treason, uncle..."

"My child." He stands up, and takes your hands. "Ever since I abdicated and became ugly, everyone shunned me at the court of Eldrican, and then you came from abroad and one of the first things you did was to sit down with this old bag of bones for a talk. It made me understand... that I'm not Eldrican but Methiantese, and my loyalties should lie with Methiant, for good or worse." He might be praised for his courage and loyalty, but you're pretty sure Eldricans - and their future historians - will revile him.

What you're going to do with Uncle Hein?

A) What he speaks is true. He should stay with us and in meanwhile we will prepare for the incoming war.
B) I'm not sure if to trust him or not. I better send my agents to snoop around in Eldrican and elsewhere.
C) I will turn him over to Feir and tell Eldricans about Hein's treachery, surely this will mend our relationship and prevent the war.
D) He might've gone senile, nobody would dare attack us! Better find him a pleasant home for the elderly to stay in.

B Trust, but verify.

[Taricus]

B, Oh boy, this is going to be interesting to say the least.

[Kashyyk]

Can we do A and B? Always better to confirm with these things, and at the same time I want to make sure Uncle Haen is looked after.

If we can't, then B

[birdy51]

A

I am for trusting him.

[TankKit]

I also wish we could do A and B, trust but verify. I'll go for A instead though, this seems like a plausible scenario that could happen and we all know how much of a prick Eldrican is.

[melkor]

i dont think he was anything to gain for lying to us about this. the worst we make a few undesirable pacts.

That made me shed a tear.

[mightymushroom]

A
I hope the preparations will include using our diplomatic and spy services to counteract Feir's efforts in foreign courts.
