If he heard you were doing that, William would come back with his regiment and fight under you, serouisly. He would actually swear loyalty to you...
I'm sure William could convince the Hatcuri to join in, perhaps lady Tala as well...Thomas's new bodyguard regiment would help as well.

[Ardas]

You know, regicide is something that requires more than spur-of-the-moment planning. People plan years for these things. Try being more subtle.

[Taricus]

You guys are REALLY HORRID at plotting, Save for Tala...

Seriously, this isn't King Erik...

[Shootandrun]

Problem. Queens regiments are up there too

One lone knight, in heavy armor, with the most badass longsword of the Kingdom, his pistol and seventeen years of experience as a fighter versus a few incompetent guards led by poor leadership. How can I not win?

[Taricus]

Heavy cavalry.

And mind you, That arena has it's uses. Being the recruitment for the queens officers and personal guard being one...

[Ardas]

Seriously, whats up with the constants tit-fot-tat in OOC? Lets just match the figures and have the GM roll. I doubt that any frontal assault will succeed. you are more than welcome to try though.

[filiusenox]

Yes, 2 ducats apiece and a minor non-landowning title for their lands, which I would have happily'ed pay.

Avitus walked back to his quarters, and sat at his desk. The outcome of the meeting really pleased him, he had a lot of writing to do. He started by writing letters to all the unaligned nobles whose land was right next to the Ligorian borders:

Dear Lord/Lady [Name],
Given the present diplomatic and economic situation in the Storm Coast, and particularly in our Kingdom of Ligoria, our Queen finds herself with no choice but request that you:
    - Accept to swear allegiance to her highness and Ligoria
    - Accept the inclusion of all land under your supervision into Ligoria's territory
    - Accept to let a percentage to be determined of your personnal army be integrated to the Queen's army.
To which in exchange you will be offered the following counterparts:
    - Unconditional protection by the Kingdom's army against any danger, be it enemy troops, bandits or other.
    - A 75% tax exemption for one [1] full year after you join Ligoria.
    - An official Ligorian nobility title, along with all the rights and obligations that go with it.
    - Full control over any parts of your domain that will not be deemed essential for the Queen, under the laws of the Kingdom.
You can send back this here letter signed and sealed if you wish to comply to this demand immediately or within a month. You can request more information or the presence of an official to expose you this contract in deeper details.
Failure to comply within a full season, or failure to answer within a month will undoubtedly tarnish the high esteem the Queen has for you.

Yours sincerely, Avitus Traianus, advisor on Diplomatic issues, on behalf of Queen Laythe of Ligoria.

Ahem. Avitus gave them pratically the same offer.
Except I did it with my money. and I would have tricked the one wanting 5d into settling for less.

Yep, Kathos received that letter. It was sent only a few days after he left for the land of the lady, so I decided he received it.

[Taricus]

Queen didn't send that letter though

Hey Nuke, how much land did the lesser nobles that wanted money had?

[filiusenox]

1 parcel for 2d of William's cash.
One wanted 5d for one.

[Taricus]

Yep, queen won't be happy about that...

[Fanofgaming]

@Leone
Just a reminder that Thomas is awaiting Henry's response.

[filiusenox]

If you let William stay on...HE WOULD HAVE GOT IT FOR CHEAPER.
But you exiled him...

Also, your guards suck Taricus.

[NUKE9.13]

Yep, queen won't be happy about that...

The queen does not know money.

Less than 10d for a parcel of land is highway robbery. Granted, being next to the lands of Laythe would drop property values considerably. And direct threats might make one lower ones standards even further.
But 5d for a parcel, which would be earned back in 2.5 years, all other bonuses aside, is a fucking steal. 2d is a joke. A bad joke.
