It's probably the Six Brothers guy, but we owe them a favor. :/ Wonderful.

I'm not opposed to wandering over and stabbing the dude, but we need more friends so my vote is 3. Make him a nice happy ancestor or something.

Edit - In more general ideas, we just spanked the Elkenval hard. How much of a beating can rival clans take before they get squashed? Because if we're close to that I'm thinking next fire season we might want to just finish the job.

Hey, owing them a favor and telling them to pay us back for their dude murdering ours are totally unrelated. The Oralnthi even have a system of wergild!

And beating a clan up so hard they move takes a fair bit of pounding on them first. They'll probably come begging us for peace several times before that, so we've got a ways to go yet. I'm totally fine with swinging by once a Fire anyway though. :3

Someone here did it. I can smell guilt in the air. (5)

Let's assume it was the obvious suspect. 4

If the dude's sword was blood-free, it was probably that guy whom Orlk has sworn not to harm. OR A TRUSTED FRIEND! ET TU DOROSA?

Mini-update! If the votes seem to be overwhelmingly in favor of one option by late-night my time I'll just cut it short and move on in the interest of expediency, otherwise I'll keep it going for a full voting period.

(Choosing to seek the killer in another clan starts with a prompt for which clan, but we all know damn well it's the Six Brothers,)

I did figure we'd want to insist he apologize, but I'm less comfortable using my own judgement for whether we choose to challenge him or not, so have at it. (I do have a backup of the VM save state in case I was wrong in judging that you all would want an apology, too)

The ancestors says: Vingulf needs a duelin'.

THEY ALSO SAY TO BUILD MORE FARMS BEFORE WE STARVE OR THE GODS STARVE.

Purvis we had so many farms I had to hire more dudes just to use all my farms. :V

Arashi: I believe what Purvis is trying to say is "buy all the farm land forever" That or he has a hankering for more Lebensraum, but let's not go invoking Godwin's further. :V

As for the situation at hand... hey he seemed like a nice guy, if your wife liked him better, than nuts to you, it's a free country!

We get to keep the money though, right? *shot*

Might as well have our best fighter do it, absolute worst case he dies and I slap the Uroxi on the ring.

We didn't really get satisfaction, but we still have the silver and Orlgard's not even wounded thanks to the healer. Could be worse.

While "found murdered face-down in your tula" is arguably the worst ending to the Orlkensor event chain, none of the endings is happy by any stretch of the imagination. I've never even seen the closest you can get to a good ending in my own playthroughs since it's pretty much a coin flip on the duel.

Spoilers for "good" ending:

Spoiler:

After that's all done with, I ship our best non-ring fighter off to explore the mountain that is Orlanth's mom. No really.

A scouting party discovers a rich farmland not far from your stead. It is inhabited by strange beast folk who behave sort of like normal Orlanthi and call themselves the Thunder Ducks. For once, both warriors and carls agree: it would be a fine thing to drive these small, inhuman creatures from this fertile valley and claim it as your own.

1. Approach the ducks and offer them a peace pact.
2. "Each year, you must give us enough food to feed 50 of our people."
3. "Each year, you must give us enough food to feed 150 of our people."
4. Demand that the ducks cede you half their lands.
5. Launch a surprise attack against the puny ducks. (p.s. it's Earth season you dolts.)

The ducks appear to practice a corrupted version of Orlanthi ways. (2, 3)

The ducks know their home terrain. Many a brave man has been humiliated because he underestimated a foe. (1, 2)

Let's not be too bold. You never know what strange magic members of the Elder Races might wield. (1, 2)

Demand tribute, but not so much that they feel resistance is the only option. It is better to gain something for no effort than everything at too high a price. (2)

We shouldn't neglect our own land by raiding during harvest time, no matter how tempting this new land seems. (2, 3, 4)

It is ot as if we will lose the respect of our allies if we displace these creatures. (4)

Carls and fighters agree on something for once, and we're thinking of denying them? If we don't attack the ducks, we'll be deafened by grumbling. (5)

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Also, with the most badass clan name I've ever seen it generate the ducks. I approve so hard.

Given all our neighbors are jerks we need ONE group of people on our side. I say 1. Maybe they can hook us up with Scrooge while they're at it.

Dead Princess Sakana · « **Reply #169 on:** April 25, 2013, 06:03:34 AM »

If we slay them now, we have duck meat for a year. If we make peace and make them multiply, we may have duck meat forever! 1

Von Stein · « **Reply #170 on:** April 25, 2013, 06:06:54 AM »

I'm sorry... but I can't vote trickster on this...

Thunder... Thunder... Thunder... Duck Tales! Whoohoo!

I vote 1 because I know what ducks gone bad can do.

I hope they're the intense fear that oscillates their main tool for flight during the latter hours of the day. (1)

THESE DUCKS HONOR OUR ANCESTORS. FELLOWSHIP IS THE ONLY CHOICE.

AND YOU NOTE THEY ARE HEEDING THE WORDS OF OUR ANCESTORS AND ARE BUILDING MORE FARMS.

Keegster2 · « **Reply #176 on:** April 25, 2013, 11:05:14 PM »

1. DUCKS ARE FRIEND.

Duckbros! \o/

The ducks are our neighbors (oops I have to screenshot their blurb sometime when I'm not save stated mid-event), and their swamp kin are waaaaaaaaay off to the southwest so we can't see them here.

Ernalda is being stingy.

A family of travelers petitions you, seeking membership in your clan. The father, Korol, speaks on behalf of the others. His family made the dangerous trek from Esrolia, in search of freedom and prosperity. So far, they have found only misery. Korol promises hard work and loyalty in return for your generosity.

1. Accept them as cottars.
2. Assign them fine land and a starter herd.
3. Assign them some land.
4. Force them to be thralls.
5. Offer to introduce them to the chieftain of the Taralings instead.
6. Refuse them.

If we wish to help them without offending our long-suffering carls, we can make them cottars. (1)

Back in the Darkness, the ragged remnants of the Nalda Bin came to our ancestors, who adopted them into the clan. (1, 2, 3)

Good things come to those who are merciful. (1, 3, 5)

We are not obligated to accept them, but we must treat them with justice while they are here. (Anything but 4)

I have nothing to add. (... you're lucky you're good with plants, Enerin.)

The yare at our mercy. Take them as thralls, and force them to serve us. (4)

Damnit Mosdorl. I promise tricksters have their uses other than just sitting there being contrary though. :V

Important: what's a cottar?
