You're gambling. Therefore the solution is: don't gamble.

Neither Dwarves or Hurthlings want to find a way out of this. The Dwarven delegation gets upset.

"It's obvious that humans of Glennuaine do not wish to be good neighbours of Emeden. Well, keep yours houses, Hurthlings. King Eyrdri!" The dwarven leader turns to you. "We've prospected as we said we will, but our work is not charitable. We demand to be paid for our prospecting!"

A) "How about we write down a postponement contract? Say, our state pays in 5 years?"
B) "And I do not make deals on spoken words with no proof! You shall not be paid!"
C) "Fine then, we shall pay for the prospecting services. Then, you go back to Emeden!"

You order the guards to lead Hurthlings in.

The small hairy creatures pad into the throne room with haste, their round faces frowning in the greatest show of anger they can muster.

"Hooman king! The dorfs have invaded our homs!" The dwarf leader harrumphs.

"We didn't. We dug underneath." The Hurthling leader taps his foot.

"The floors caved een! Our familee tunnels collapsed!" The dwarven leader turns to you.

"King Eyrdri, neither our prospecting nor the mining operations will keep the Hurthling dwellings intact if they're in area of the groundworks."

"So that's how it ees!" The Hurthling crosses his arms, his angry face directed at you. "Hooman king! We are good subjects, and digging tunnels into our heells will destroy our ancient homs!"

A) "That would be terrible! Sorry dwarves, no digging shall commence."
B) "Well, if you don't want me to mine precious metals, better pay the short tax!"
C) "I'm sure we can find a compromise here."
D) "Shush! Metal ore mines will empower our state. Sacrifices must be made for that to happen!"

"I see no reason to oppose your settlement in Glennuaine. Make it your new home!" The men bow their heads in gratitude and leave fast to inform their kin.


About two thousand Damdamians have moved into Glennuaine in the past month. The men with their families, servants, friends and colleagues, as well as several Damdamian philosophers and theologians.


The Dwarven prospectors have returned!

"Greetings, human king!" Their bearded leader grins, showing his broken teeth. "Our noses led us well, and we have discovered that the southern mountainside of your Kingdom has plenty of ore-bearing rock! Galena, copper and tin lay abundant under the soil. You could smelt silver for jewelry, or alloy bronze for the machines of war! Or we can take one and leave you the other instead of taking a cut of profits..."

The Advisor leans to you.

"Against whom?"

"The dwarves."

The Damedians enter. They bear themselves in Damdamian togas and capes, and strange sigils adorn their necks and foreheads.

"Damed bless you, King Eyrdri! We, followers of the Martialist Way, have been oppressed by the orthodox rulers of Lametania. Our fellows, our families, our sympathizers are put into dungeons simply because our view upon divinity of Father Damed is different than of those currently in power. We seek aid, and if you can't provide it, at least a place for our peoples to settle in."

A) "Fool heathens! Begone at once!"
B) "I will give you food, arms and money, so that you can wage a shadow war agaisnt the vile Lametanians!"
C) "You're welcome to settle down in Glennuaine. We have more than enough space."
D) "Would you be interested in a theological discussion with me?"
