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.

Please understand that what we did to Rucus was horrible.

I don't see how. They were our enemies in a war of aggression against us, and frankly, they deserved it.

[Kashyyk]

I don't think we have to worry about retaliation via exploaive assassination. I say this because we rolled a 5 on the attempt. That's good. Sure there was collateral damage, but we have no good reason to think Rucus knows of out involvement.

I mean that was literally the best possible result for that plot so I'd be a bit annoyed if they just randomly learned about it without some type of good roll on their part or bad roll on ours.

You decide to be a good host according to the rules and tell the guards to bring the Rucusians in.

As expected, their entry, with their white cloaks and menacing black eagles painted on them, chainmail clinking underneath, sure make the music stop and the laughter still on the mouths of party-goers. Their eyes look upon the cloaked knights as they make their way to your central table, and their leader salutes to you.

"Damed bless your marriage, Emperor of Methiant. The people of Rucus bring you this as a gift." He takes some long, thin item, clothed in red velvet, from the hands of his right-hand knight, and extends it to you.

Cautiously - with Shadowranks stepping closer in case this is foul trickery - you grab the long item, immediately realizing it is some sort of sheathed blade, from the feel of the shape underneath the red velvet.

You unwrap the velvet and soon a sea of murmurs and gasps comes from the mouths of more learned courtiers. You yourself quickly unsheathe the artifact blade, and its enchanted point shines in the light of the torches within your feast hall.

It is the Blade of Puncturing, the very one your father lost during his last battle!

"King of Rucus, Rumus II, sends his regards. Let the bygones be bygones, he says, for whilst heathens, Methiantese make for amicable neighbours, at least some of the time." He says, placing his mailled hands upon his heavy belt.

Courtiers murmur and gasp and sigh in happiness as you inspect the blade for faults or damage but find naught. For this...

A) ...the Rucusians will receive honor seats at your right side!
B) ...the Rucusians will be allowed to remain and partake in the festivities!
C) ...the Rucusians will be allowed to leave unharmed!

[Fluffe9911]

A Well I'm impressed if they are truly willing to let bygones be bygones I don't see why we can't start working on a proper friendship with these people.

A - An excellent way to renew a friendship. Let us continue it

And that is the winning argument. I didn’t realize we had a nat 6.


A I was worried the nobles may accuse us of cozying up with the enemy, but considering how they too are impressed by the gift, I think we can afford to turn a new leaf.

Diplomatic problems require diplomatic solutions. Enemies with unstoppable forces for armies qualify as "diplomatic problems."

I feel like A is overdoing it somewhat, but heck, we have empty spots where our own kin didn't show, so A.

A I honestly wasn't expecting this of a former crusading country, I know we'd be hard pressed to give it up with our artifact hoarding hobby. I'm also worried about this clear lack of signs from our closest allies. As much as I despise Damed, building better relations with our southern neighbors to extend the peace might be our best option until we can find better footing to engage them on.
