@Chryse:

And so Chryse was the first to expand beyond its initial colony sites.

You order the Army to send some volunteers for a borderland patrol duty. Few hundred men end up patrolling the villages.

In a week of time the Army's presence brings osme results; they've managed to catch a beast red-handed as it tried to slip into a cattle farm. The hairy, grotesque beast had numerous appendages, huge jaws and, as subsequent battle with it shown, quite appetite for flesh, animal or human alike. It has been killed and some acidic substance poured out of its corpse, dissolving it partially.

The scholars did a perusal through the beastiary scrolls in the library but nothing of the kind came up in written history.

A) It came from northeast, so surely Hurthlings might know something! Time to send some men and ask the little people some questions.
B) Kingdom of Dahnia lies in the north, mayhaps they had already encountered such beasts previously? Let's ask them.
C) Dagovid tribe lived once in north and east; their hunters surely must've seen such beasts, let's ask their current chieftain about this.
D) Surely, it must be some evil power bringing up monstrosities within out borders! Mayhaps it is time to seek help of a Wizard?

You decide to encourage the priest to build a shrine dedicated to the founder of the dynasty.


The advisor brings you the Scrolls of Kingdom Status.

Happiness: 6
Population: 5
Economy: 7
Army: 6

You can't help but grin at the number beside the economy rating; it wasn't that high since the reign of your eldest brother and father.


The dwarves have come back from Gubta.

They immediately bow in gratitude as they approach your throne.

"O, King of Luathbas. Many times our folk have crafted items for rulers of this land and we always took treasures as payment, but you've given us much more than that! Not only we have finally discovered the land from where the blue gemstones come, we even secured a relationship with its rulers and can now obtain the jewels on regular basis. Praised be your beard! We might even be able to craft items of power not seen since the times of Vabok." The bow once again and leave in hurry, very happy and satisfied about the trip it seems.


The spymaster meets you in a corridor.

"The investigation is finished, my liege."

"And?"

"Several rumors provided us with clues. After weeks of gathering information, we first obtained confession of Cylla's confidante maiden and the found Lady Cylla's diary. I have to tell you that Lady Cylla has been suffering from depression since your brother's untimely death and the most likely conclusion is that she commited suicide by drowning. I have allowed myself to recall the excess agents to other work." He bows and disappears into the shadows.


Your wife have given birth to a boy! She named him 'Ceodwell', after a Luathbas hero of old. If he reaches proper age and won't decide otherwise, he will one day become Feodh II, King of Luathbas!


Some terrible news come from northeast of Luathbas!

Recently the farmers have been finding their cattle mutilated; many corpses have been partially devoured and several barns had clear signs of being broken into. And considering that the attacks happened on rather large area, it must a group rather than an individual. Some village elders therefore turned to their King to seek help.

A) Send a small part of the Army to patrol the northeastern borderlands.
B) Hire some adventurers or trappers or huntsmen to seek the elusive assailants.
C) Tell the elders that they should advise their farmers to lock the barns properly.

You decide that it will be best to send adventurers and ruthless mercenaries to cause trouble in elven lands. The emissary nods.

"My Queen Sela thought the same. She will be overjoyed to know that you have decided to continue against the elves. They must pay." He bows his head and then leaves.

*KZZZT*

5to6

After extremely uneventful summer, news come from the goldmines. Apparently, the miners struck a new, large vein! The profits from refining and selling the gold will be double this year!


"And how's the children?"

"Shaken, of course, and afraid." You look once again into the scroll containing the dire news; your sister-in-law, Cylla, disappeared one evening and the next morning her body was found floating in the moat of her castle.

You have the Spymaster summoned.

"My liege, as far as I know, my agents were at the castle and none reported seeing any elves. They're investigating other possibilities as we speak."

"So you think it was suicide?" The advisor asks quietly.

"Maybe. I do not know yet."

"Sire, we need to decide what to do about this situation... and what to do with Cylla's children."

As for the situation...

A) Increase the amount of agents in estates and castles of all your family members.
B) Just an investigation will do.

As for little Sela, Ciri, Beadda and Una...

A) Send them to your aunt Morgan, who is currently living in Augas.
B) Send them to their grandmother, Queen Sela of Dahnia.
C) Have them brought to your palace so they may live amongst your family.

//Remember, no split votes.

You thank them for the gifts but say that their kind is not welcome in Luathbas as differences in laws and customs would only bring strife to both tribes.

The lizards hiss loudly amongst themselves, and the smallest one then steps forward.

"We go and never return. Beasts can find elsewhere." The smallest then turns on its heels and leaves, all of the taller ones following suit, one dragging the body of the slain lizardman.

The guards then take care of the nobleman's body and a letter is sent to his family that he 'died in honorable duel'.

*KZZZT*


As the grieving, angry nobleman leaves to claim a guest chamber for himself, the guards bring in the emissary from Queen Sela of Dahnia.

"Again, let me tell that I bring good news from your aunt, King Feodh."

"And what would those news be?"

"A trio of adventurers have managed to come back and tell us tales of the elven lands. Apparently, there is a mountain chain far to the north; then one should follow its southern edge westwards and a bit south, to vast, rock-covered plains, and across them, there is a large forest of red pines. That marks the border of the elven land, and the adventurers said that all elves they've met were either scouts or hunters. Not a single family or settlement was seen, so they must live further away. The adventurers say that they have travelled for at least hundred days before they met any the elves."

A) Splendid! Let's prepare our Army to march into the northern/western/whatever wilds and crush some pointy-eared heads!!
B) That is much further than we've anticipated. Let's hire some adventurers to go and cause chaos amongst the elves.
C) Bah! Our Army cannot hope to succeed alone in such faraway lands. We've got to abandon the plans of war against the elves.
D) If maps and scrolls are to believed, the Khanate stretches up north somewhat, behind the mountains where rainbow lizards live. Maybe they have a guide or two for hire?
