B Eh she has our best interests at heart (I think)

A little dejected, you give the meats to the passing servant.

802 AD, Mid-Autumn

It is middle of the day.

You're conversing with your council members on matters of simple administration.

SUDDENLY! A young man swings on a rope through the window, landing on top of the Treasurer! He draws his sword and points it at you, the guards pouring into the room, their axes at the ready.

"My name is Rawr, son of the King Dumborr, the man whom you've killed. I have come to reclaim the throne! Prepare to die!"

You decide to...

A) Tell the guards the get rid of this pest.
B) Draw your sword and accept his challenge for duel to death!
C) Ask for the history of his family so that you may seek the legality of his challenge?

[Kashyyk]

A - Oh I do like seeing long-lost sons of deposed despots

[Glass]

A
Also: “Rawr Dumborr”? How terrible can this family’s names get?

[Maximum Spin]

C It's always polite to hear them out first before having them killed.

[Fluffe9911]

A what was his rope even holding onto a medieval lamppost?

You call the guards to take care of the young pest.

He yells a war cry and charges, only to get knocked out by the very first guard. They drag his uncounscious body to the dungeon while your courtiers murmur how impolite it is to disturb the administrative proceedings like that.

Well! Back to work.

802 AD, Winter

Gold arrives in the capital on the same day the palatial healers announce to you that Milka is pregnant again! If all is good, the second of your children should be born on summer next year.

802 AD, End of the Year

Compared to the previous year, the winter is pretty mild. Already most of the snow melted and soon the peasants will till the fields again.

But before that happens, the annual ceremony must occur - the bringing of Scrolls of Kingdom Status to your royal chambers by the elderly Advisor.

Happiness: 4
Population: 3
Economy: 4
Army: 4

You rub your chin in contentment. These are very fine numbers.

Hopefully, they will only grow higher in the coming years!

803 AD, Spring

Gózgumdezik Whitespit the Fist of Peaks has come!

A giant humanoid made of fiery vomit. Grass decays where it steps and people go mad from its undead glare. Its external spine shines like the purest of gold columns. Beware its necrotic spit!

Reports from the far southwest come that Gózgumdezik has one day stepped out from a mountain valley, and began wrecking havoc upon the countryside. While fortunately the fields in many villages were not yet tilled, the grasses and trees in this fertile region are die when the vomit giant passes by them. Few villages have been destroyed by Gózgumdecik's mere presence and its headed in direction of several walled cities.

Local governors and city mayors are begging for Crown's help!

A) Even the strongest of beasts can't hold against many! Our Army shall march forth and destroy this gross giant!
B) A wizard! What we need here is a wizard!
C) And I shall answer! I will challenge the giant into combat myself!!
D) Hopefully, it will wander away on its own.
E) Some level 30 adventurers might be needed here, hopefully they won't ask for too much money!

Hmn.

It's made of "fiery vomit", so it's likely not terribly durable, but it's still a giant, and the fact that it drives people insane means that throwing a lot of people at it may not be the wisest idea.

Do we have siege weaponry? I suspect that high-velocity projectiles of great size would be the most effective means of felling the giant without exposing too many people to it. Furthermore, such equipment is most likely to be available to our army. That said, A is worded in a way that doesn't really express what I'm suggesting here.

Haspen, we got any siege weapons we could use? Catapults especially seem to be the most viable option in this case.

[Haspen]

A is Army.
B is Epic Quest.
C is Duel.
D is ignoring the problem until it gets so bad you will have to do something.
E is Economy.

First and last time I am explaining options like this

[Glass]

:p

E, I suspect it’ll be moderately easier to replenish our coffers than our military.
