Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

You give the trinket to your wife. She appreciates your thought muchly.

1079 AD, Mid-Autumn

The Felonsine caravan arrives at your palace ground!

The fearsome Blackhearts, large bronze tubes as tall as bedroom chamber of yours, are rolled into the castle. Ten of these siege engines are cared for by fifty men each; forty drag them around on wheeled platforms while others seem to be tending to chests and boxes that are under lock and key.

The commander of the Blackheart unit salutes you. "Greetings, King Yoe of Methiant. Per agreement with my masters, I and my men are here to serve you. The thunderous roar of our inventions will scare your enemies away; and their castles will shake and crumble under the might of our stone projectiles."

They're given loggings and they settle into the castle easily.

By the evening, the Spymaster and Advisor are by your side, with preeliminary report from the Spymaster: no Fireblood scriptures were found in the belongings of the Felonsines nor there are previously mixed amounts of Fireblood in the chests and boxes; all the crews brought were large amounts of coal, charcoal, saltpetre, sulphur, some jars of pine resin and even black oil. Some chests are kept under Felonsine guard and thus haven't been checked yet.

The Advisor sighs and looks at the Spymaster, then at you.

"Should we attempt to discover the secrets of Fireblood with less subtle means, sire?"

A) "Yes, bribe and threaten the Blackheart crewmembers so they spill the beans; surely the Fireblood formula is in their heads!"
B) "Yes, search through all the boxes, even the heavily locked ones; surely the Fireblood formula must be kept under tightest lock!"
C) "Nah. We have Blackhearts, Fireblood, and the operators. We don't need anything else at the moment, and we might stumble upon the secret in the future anyway."

C, we can only fuck up a decent arrangement if we pursue this much further.

Can we get the option to counter-attack whoever the fuck it was from the North who attacked us at the beginning of the game now? We have the answers to their fortifications, and could use their land and populous.

I don't think 'A' means personally bribing and blackmailing the crew, so I doubt our bonus applies.

[Prophet]

C Let's let them get a bit comfortable before we start trying to get our hands on how to make Fireblood.

You decide to let secrets remain secrets, for now.

1079 AD, Winter

Frostlings! Frostlings has come amidst heavy blizzards!

A menace that has not been seen in your lands, nay, entirety of the region, for more than four centuries, has been seen descending from the Rainbow Lizard, Ironbone and Hurthling mountains!

The undead men who wear thick furs and rusted weaponry of their ancient lifes, have no chill for the living. Travelers say they've attacked Felonsein, Ceodwell, Cydwyl - and Methiant. By now a host of six hundred of them is ravaging the silver mines to the northeast!

Scholars undust the old tomes to search for weakness, but naught is really found; steel does not work against their dead bodies, nor fire is able to lick and consume their permafrozen flesh. Only by sheer numbers or awesome firepower, one can fell the Frostlings, your scholars say.

Emergency council is convened, upon which some decisions are made.

As for possibility of reinforcements from Lametania...

A) Nay, we will need them for later.
B) This is best opportunity to call them!

As for battleplan against Frostlings...

A) Send the Army along with Blackhearts to blast these wretched undead apart along with their mountains!
B) Send the Army northeast and attempt to find best place and time to beat the Frostlings.
C) Gather forces and adopt some defensive tactics, but don't attack Frostlings yet.

As for your participation in this campaign...

A) Naaaaaaah, I think I will stay in the Palace.
B) BUT OF COURSE!! ONWARDS, TO GLORY!!

The Frostlings are also attacking Cydwyl. If we deal with our own problem, we can push north across the border and attack a weakened Cydwyl next.
