You have the foreigners invited to your capital city and your palace.

808 NWE, Summer

The delegation of the Perun nobility has just entered the capital city. Bearded and brightly-haired, they are quite a sight for the locals, who look at the new arrivals with some fear and distrust. According to your squires, the delegation will be here in just few minutes - you ought to prepare.

Then, a guard arrives.

"My liege, the High Prelate of the New Church demands an audience. Apparently, the clergy of Old Gods in the western province of Koval have committed a great sacriledge."

And then, the Spymaster appears from the shadows.

"M'liege!" He tips his hat. "Latest report from my agents just arrived, so if you can spare the time..."

A) "I have no time! I need to meet with the Prelate first!"
B) "I have no time! The delegation from Perun is already here!"
C) "Guards will keep my guests at bay - speak to me, my good Spymaster!"

C - Most actionable information first. Whatever sin has been committed in Koval will still be a sin in twenty minutes, whether we've spoken to the Prelate or not

[Maximum Spin]

Yeah, but it's a question of decorum and trying not to alienate the New Church (even more).

[King Zultan]

I'm sure the new church will be fine.

"What's the news, Spymaster?"

"Your Majesty, my agents have confirmed that there is a land of Perun in the far northwest. Behind seven mountains, behind three lakes that seem like seas. Vicious monsters, including Fomorians, dwell in surrounding lands, and westerners seldom visit out of the risks involved."

"What about the foreigners that came from that direction?"

"All my agents learned is that Perunians value actions over words, m'liege." You stroke your beard thoughtfully.

A) "Now that I know what I'm dealing with, I can meet with the Perunians!"
B) "Now is time to meet with the High Prelate!"

[Kashyyk]

A - Sorry Prelate, the Perunians did express the need to talk to us first

A must of been quiet the trip to get here

[Haspen]

You decide to meet with the Perunians first.

Once they enter - nay, burst into - the audience room, their leader starts shouting words in your general direction while gesticulating towards the nearest window.

The interpreter stands silent before you adress him.

"Why are you silent?"

"Good King Bubba, the prince of Perunians is bemoaning the fact that he was made waiting for so long using words not worthy of translation."

"He is cursing me?"

"Actually, the women of your family and your court, hoping that they die or become barren for life." The foreigner in question keeps on talking and gesticulating still.

A) "Let him vent. Once he's done, we can talk."
B) "Tell him to calm down or I shall make him!"
C) "Cursing? At me?? To dungeon with him and his folk!"

[Prophet]

B I mean, I get your a prince, but generally it isn't a good idea to march into a king's home and start cursing his family. I'd honestly consider C just for the drama of it, if I wasn't more curious about the Perunians.

[Kashyyk]

B - If they value action more than words, then all this bluster is probably typical for them. Still, they've got to at least make an effort to meet our culture halfway
