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.

A may be a solution to B, so that first.

You decide to meet with the messenger first.

"My lord! Our mines have been attacked by some perfidous bird-people!" That's a first.

"The miners were searching higher in Tvenn mountains for new deposits when these men and women with heads of eagles descended upon them. A brief struggle happened and some miners were wounded and killed, along some birdmen. Few sneaky scouts went to find their dwellings and indeed, they live in primitive stone huts high in Tvenn mountains, but the buildings seem newly built to the scouts." As the birdmen didn't descend upon the mines and seem rather content at their heights, the overseer considers abandoning the upper mountains to the birds.

A) Let's hire some adventurers, maybe level 20+, to deal with this birdman infestation.
B) Where's a Wizard!? We're powerless against magical killer birdmen without a Wizard!
C) Time to send the Army on some pest removal!
D) No need to venture up if we're digging up, we can ignore the birdmen. Maybe they will do the same.
E) Mountain dwellers, huh? Let's send some bribe money to the dwarves and ask for expertise, they sure have met those birdmen in their lives.

While the dwarves are assholes, I think we can afford to spend 1 Econ or so to get their take on the birdmen. Especially since there's no other sources stepping up.

A - It's a tribe of bird-men.  They're in defensible little mountain huts and for all we know they can fly away.  An army in that terrain runs the risk of getting lost in mountain passes and being ruined by ambushes.

Send a party of 3-7 ragtag murderhobos instead.  They can probably just sneak in and kill the lot before they realise they're even there.

D.  Given our little case of sacking and pillaging, what's to stop the dwarves from simply taking the bribe and laughing all the way back home? 

Besides, these birds seem to be living on the mountain rather than in it.

Cyl's army rarely fails in its mission.

They're dwarves. If you give them money, they forgive everything and love you forever. The next-door King said as much himself.

Why not hire the birdmen? The birdmen have much better potential to be better neighbors than the smelly dwarves!
