You leave the castle and enter the forest, chasing after the blue flying lights.

2

You return to the castle before the sunrise, the run fruitless and without resolution.

Whateve beings the lights represented or were, they do not show up again, seemingly having rejected you.

809 AD, Autumn

The silver from the Gon mines have arrived quite early this year.

809 AD, Mid-Autumn

The previous event is a very good coincidence, too; the weather has been mild this year and the harvests abundant.

"And thus, people both small and important clamor that the Crown sponsors the harvest festivities this year." Says the Advisor, rolling up a scroll. Not the Scrolls of Kingdom Status, or a singular Scroll of Kingdom Status, but another scroll that relates to administration of your kingdom - whatever, you get the idea.

"Its been a while, too." The old man adds after a brief pause.

A) "Alright then, let's have some parties while the outside is still sunny and warm!"
B) "Nah, I think we're done with celebrations for the time being!"

No lucky bonus?

[Knightwing64]

B


Nah

[Fluffe9911]

No lucky bonus?

The lucky bonus has a small chance of giving us a +1 its not guaranteed you pretty much gotta be lucky in order to be well lucky.

A why not!

[Haspen]

You decide to sponsor the festivities!

809 AD, Late Autumn

1

The festivities, at least in the capital province, were a disaster - alcohol turned to be in shortage and then a fistfight turned into a riot that ended in hundreds of dead festival-goers.

Goes without saying that this left many around the Kingdom bitter and resentful.

809 AD, Winter

But wait, there's more!

Early coming of snowfall and subsequent blizzards have buried several villages and remote inns under snow, and many roads are blocked.

Many couriers and messengers from worst affected areas bring letters from mayors and governors, asking the Crown for help!

A) Send in the army to help clear the roads!
B) Send some money to worst affected areas, they can do the rest!
C) Alas, you can't fight the nature guys!

[Kashyyk]

A - What's the Army for if not braving dangerous situations to save the kingdom?

You resent our festival? Nahhhh, resent this

[Fluffe9911]

A This terrible RNG is starting to worry me.

A This terrible RNG is starting to worry me.

Just our luck regressing to the mean after catching the stag, I think.

You tell the Marshal that the army is responsible to keep the roads clear of snow this winter.

809 AD, Midwinter

The Army does just that, but hundreds of soldiers suffer frostbite and cold anyway. Not every one of them returns home (and we're not talking only about desertion here).

809 AD, End of the Year

Happiness: 3
Population: 4
Economy: 6
Army: 3

You grit your teeth a little. Couldn't these numbers be a tiny bit more even, for once?

"As you can see, my liege," the Advisor speaks, "the people are grumbling and our commanders are worried about the size and state of our Army. I wonder, however, if we have truly enough money to alletiate these shortages and be ready for next year, whatever it might-" You pull on the Advisor's beard.

"My liege, why are you pulling my beard?"

"Just checking if you're not Treasurer in disguise, apologies." The Advisor coughs.

"Still, what is your decision?"

A) "We power through!"
B) "We sponsor festivals for the peasants!"
C) "We hire mercenaries and sponsor festivities!"
D) "We bolster our Army with scores of mercenaries!"
