Clearly seeing it as nothing more than just a random peak in banditry, you send the Army in to quash the criminal scum.

1

The criminal scum, under the lead of a man called 'Ónach', manage to ambush an army unit in forested area, the thinly spread columns of soldiers fell prey to huntsmen and macemen and slingers at the Battle of Felonsein Forest. Truly a day of shame for the Army.

After this loss, the officers double their efforts and eliminate the bandit army along with Ónach, but the casualties are high and the morale of people, having so believed in the invicibility of Luathbas Army, lowers a bit.

877 AD, Summer

If misfortunes appear, they seem to appear in pairs.

The heat of the summer have managed to scorch the lands. Many a wee stalks and sprouts have already been ruined, and the farmers bemoan their losses. Not only that but less crops means less food, and less food means, well, problems.

A) Alas, nothing can be done against the capricious nature.
B) Immediately spend some of our vast wealth to procure foodstuffs from abroad to pre-empt any famine later in the year.

Clearly these bandits have been trained by the Damdamians! This is further evidence of their plot! [/joke]

Anyway, gotta keep the people fed. Who needs money, anyway?

You set aside some wealth to procure foodstuffs from abroad.

Many foods are procured, mostly from Damdamians and the Kashite. Foodstuffs are stored for the winter and there will be no famine this year.

877 AD, Midsummer, Longest Day of the Year

You're listening to a performance of a wandering troupe of minstrels, Beren having taken a vacation to visit his ailing uncle in Duchy of Koi, when suddenly the sky turns black and thick green cloud of smoke appears in the throne room! Courtiers and minsterls alike scream and choke on the vile sulphuric fog.

Then, the fog coalesces into some otherwordly, eldritch being! It has an exposed ribcage of black bones, torn leathery wings and three green eyes that stare at you and, you feel, into your insides.

"I am Doach'shavul Xestha'zael Cho'vac. I sense the blood of the Luathbas people amongst me, so I am in the right place. I have come to take what is mine, for the services I have paid to King Brenan in the year 377 of your reckoning. Lest I be paid, I shall turn your pitiful little kingdom into a putrid swamp that exhales fumes killing all life about the land!" The demon hisses and exhales some fumes that only make the air in the throne room even more vile. You quickly decide to...

A) Tell him to take whatever he wants from the Treasury, and to spare your life!
B) Explain to him that you have no idea about any debts to demons and therefore are not going to cave in to Do'azn'shavul's demands!
C) Demand that he provides you with the contract so that you, as a learned man of law, can check its validity, because no matter if human, dwarf or demon - for the love of all the Pantheon, nobody's gonna swindle a Houlandine from his wealth!

C No contract no dice.

[NUKE9.13]

Hmm. Well, if I know demons, the correct option would be A, and even then, we'd probably still die.
But this may not be the kind of demon I know, so let's play to our strengths and go

I guess it depends on if this is a lawful demon or a chaotic demon. A chaotic one might just smite us right away if we refuse... But one that's willing to wait 500 years for payment seems more likely to be lawful. So, sure.

[VoidSlayer]

I mean, his threat was not to kill us but to turn the land into a swamp.  As long as we don't say no or attack him we might have a chance.
