yes.

Seriously making the carls happy is as much luck as anything. At least making the weaponthanes happy you basically just gotta go kick enough ass. :V

Pretending like we care doesn't even give us a result message, it turns out. :V


HEY CHALANA ARROY TEACH ME HEALING.


NO STOP THAT. Resurrection can bring back a dead noble but has a billion restrictions and doesn't even work half the damn time even when you meet them all. :V


Rastoron, a thane of the Narri clan, comes to ask you to make good on a favor you owe his people. "We ask that you gift us with food, in return for considerations we have given your clan in the past, and in recognition of the goodwill between us," he says. He asks for enough grain to feed 50 people for a year*.

1. Give him less than he wants.
2. Give him more than he wants.
3. Give him what he wants.
4. Offer him cattle instead.
5. Refuse him.


*this is 50 food, BTW.

Custom requires the giver to provide enough food to feed forty people for a year. (1)
Their warriors are few, and ill-equipped. We should curry the favor of the strong, and forget about these weaklings. (5)
This is a fine opportunity to demonstrate our generosity. (2, 3)
(He'd be so useful heeeeeeeeeeeeere.)
We don't have the food to spare. (4, 5)
It would be embarassing for us to say no to them. (3)
Food is too precious to be given away, even when we owe an obligation to another clan. (5)

I know 1 and 2 both prompt for an amount, I believe 4 does as well but I'm not entirely certain what's the traditional offer here. I believe in most cases a cow is worth 4 or 5 food.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU PEOPLE? WHAT DID YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME SAY?

I suggest we do 2 if we can spare it. We need good rep, and people owing us is always great. I'd say at least 70, if the larder looks good? Maybe 100?

More than 10% of our farmers are sitting around with the shit kicked out of them, we can't be that generous.

They're already asking for more than standard so just leave it at that. 3.

Carls: still pissed. Always pissed.

FINALLY. I switched the shrine over to it from Curing immediately after.


And then go punch the Elkenvali because they're still chumps.


... I bet it uses Magic (Enerin's is merely Good, though she's basically just Good at everything that's not Plants anyway) so I dunno how successful it'll be but HOW CAN I NOT PICK 1 HERE.


Success!


And more success! Success is measured in cows.


hahahahahahahahahahahahaha isn't that cute.


Noooooooooooooo we have approximately equal success.


Stop that you two, what are you, five?



Anyway, as long as we can get our dudes patched up in reasonable time, I think we've stabilized a bit. We may have to dismantle a shrine or two depending on how our goods flow goes though - the tier one upkeeps are really low but we're really low too. :V So now what?

Yeah. Trade routes and heroquesting sounds good. Anything so long as we don't throw more dudes into the meat grinder. ...Or we could just bury the Elkenvali some more.

This year: TRADE. Also heroquest. Still putting points in War because even without that omen there, still best to invest in case we get attacked. I think I can safely go back to skipping Health now that we've got Healing running on our Chalana Arroy shrine.

And then we get an event before I can actually do anything!


tl;dr the Elkenvali give up again, they brought 27 cows.

1. Demand MOAR COW
2. Demand ANNUAL COW
3. Take cow, backstab them
4. lolno chumps
5. Yeah OK.


In matters of power, it is best to be direct. (1, 2, 4)
I think that we can get more out of this than they're offering. Perhaps as many as 40 cows. (1) (Coincidentally, 40 is the most we can even demand.)
If we are going to keep on raiding then, at least wait until the seeds are sown adn the farmers are free to go. (He is correct that it's Sea right now.)
If we accept their tribute, breaking the sacred vows and attacking them in the next two years would be disastrous. (2, 4, 5)

We can get more healthy cows from them as tribute than from raids. (1, 2)
Well you already know what I think! (3)

Also apparently Enerin died of old age this year. ;_;

Next update: expect to check out some new potential nobles!

Steamrolling them didn't work. Steamrolling them in a raid didn't work. Steamrolling them and making them pay an annual fee didn't work. We have other chumps.

Oh hey scratch that it lets up ask for way more than 40. But even 40's pretty unlikely to get granted so I'm gonna still go with the vote of 40 even though I think you all meant it by way of THE MAX.


Yeah Enerin kicked the bucket. :( But at least she went out right after a blaze of glory. Also, fuck, no food.

So. It turns out our noble population is still boring as fuck outside of who we have on the ring already. Also we have a whole one lady who's not Uraldan and she's also really old. I was gonna put things up for vote... but this selection really really isn't worth it.

Though, as much as I weirdly like Harsaltar, he was mostly there as the highest-Custom guy who wasn't our chief, but Iskalli's been taking the lawspeaker role anyway, and some other Chalana Arroyan got pretty good at Magic while we weren't looking!

So say hello to our new ring members!


Jonrik is our new proper Magic advisor, something we'd been lacking before. He's not horrible at anything, though.


Janerra is mostly just here by virtue of god diversity, since Engarna's better at both Plants and Animals (we have a better Uraldan at Animals but the best is a really old Odaylan guy; I forget what our Plants nobles looked like but Engarna's in the top few there too and I genuinely feel is our best shot at vital god diversity while maintaining some sort of competence at both fields). She's also a pretty decent godtalker though.


Senior carls have been calculating the number of cows needed to sustain the clan, and concluded that you are headed for disaster. "If we don't get more cows, we will starve." The people can count just as well as anyone else, and know that the clan is headed for trouble. They have grown restive, and want to know what the clan ring is going to do about the situation.

1. "We will get cows by raiding." (This may kick off a raid now, and it is Sea season.)
2. "We will sacrifice to Uralda."
3. "We will trade for more cows."
4. "You are wrong. We have enough cows."
5. "You must trust the ring; we will do what is right."


People should obey chosen leaders. (5)
Right after we cheer up the carls, we shoudl raid the Elkenvali clan. (1)
(I haven't cropped Jonrik yet) Uralda can make our cows more fertile, but she cannot make cows appear out of thin air. (5)
The most reliable way to get cows is to trade for them, but we have little to trade. (5)
(I haven't cropped Janerra yet) We shouldn't promise any one particular thing. That way, if the first thing we do fails, we can try something else without alarming them further. (5)
It will be very hard to convince them that we have neough cows. (not 4)
Bad King Urgrain's cow women told him that the herds were dwindling. Bad King Urgrain said, "Who needs cows, when you have the throne?"

The ring seems to agree on 5.

This is a pretty shitty situation. Can we call in any favors for cows/food like people have been doing to us all the time?
