The envoys of the Cartel of Golden Arms bow their heads, adorned with gold-trimmed pointy hats.
"I was wondering when you would show up," you say. "The money I was promised is a whole season late!" The leader of the group smiles and takes his hat off.
"My liege! This is due to competition from small-time goldworkers as well as some well-established foreign merchants. Our profits have been scarce, and our expenses great. We would like to ask Your Majesty for a donation." Another of the Cartel members steps forward.
"Of course we understand if the royal Treasury has fallen on hard times as well, so instead of gold, we would like Your Majesty to sign some documents allowing us to better compete with foreigners and other guilds."
A) "No money, no priviledges. You better try harder next year!"
B) "I will look at the documents and sign them, if that's what you want."
C) "Outrageous! Bring me the money you owe, or I will deal with you accordingly!"
D) "Fine, I can give you some money if it comes back with a profit."
