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?

This requires our traders to not get mauled by bandits on the way again. But then again so does setting up trade routes like we'd planned to already anyway.

I mean I'll try. :V Just I've tried before and it didn't work well then either.

5, but let's stomp the Elkenvali/Zenthorings when we get the chance to take their stuff. I don't think we have anything to sacrifice.

How's our farmer sitch now and how much did that play into this, anyhow?

Forgot to look before going into ring stuff (and event was right after), and it's basically the sole contributor because our production's been capping out at less food than we need. EVEN IF I MAKE MORE FARMS PURVIS SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND QUIT MAKING EVERYONE ELSE THINK INCORRECTLY ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS. Though I think we also don't have enough cows to work the land we need to make enough food either.

FUCK I accidentally closed the game instead of my VM. So... we're rewinding to this past Sacred Time this update, since that's my most recent save.

Same magic setup I went with at the start of the year, Enerin still died, Elkenvali still came to surrender and refused to pay 40 cows (though their mercenaries this time are from all over), put the same two people on the ring, still starving, new event though!


A trio of strange beings has eluded your patrols. These lizard-men are probably the dragonewts you've heard legends about. For twelve hours they have been enacting a mysterious ritual on your lands.

1. Clear the area until they leave.
2. Conduct a ritual to counter their magic.
3. Try to communicate with them.
4. Try to kill them.
5. Watch them until they leave.


These aren't the toughest dragonewts. These are the weakest ones. (5)
I have nothing to add.
I'll go along with the ring's decision.
Perhaps we can try to communicate with them. (HEY GUESS WHAT HIS OPINION IS)
I don't have an opinion on this.
Hey! They're stealing our honey! (4)

So, we lost surprisingly little progress after all, since I kept everything we had done the same. =P

I'm voting 5. Communicating with someone during a magic ritual *miiiiiight* cause issues. Maybe. But my voyeurism just kicks in too much.
Can't think of a good signature.
More lilies maybe?

Well they seem harmless enough I guess.


Gradually our farmer situation is looking up, but WE HAVE NO FOOD.


We're going to have to starve ever so briefly though because if I don't crank up the field amounts now we won't get more planted for this year. And then we'll starve next year too.


... oh fuck you douchebags. Eat some extra magic.


We're still in better shape on people than at the start of the year? And that's a lot of horses we can trade away.


I'm sorry. ;_;


Sheep and pigs are basically for maintaining shrines and slaughtering. They yield pretty crap on the latter though.



Ow.


Go, go beg for food!


... oh shit we actually made it there. I'm just taking the usual and running instead of putting it up for vote. They were like "cool beans" and forked it over with no problem.


GET MORE FOOD also cows.


Aslandar, a thane of the Narri clan, comes to ask you for information about Ingard, chief of the Konthasos clan. "We intend to enter into negotiations with Ingard, and hope that you know something about his personality, so that we will be well prepared for our parley with the Konthasos. You owe us a favor, and we will consider your obligation discharged if you give us good information."

1. "Ingard? We know him well."
2. "Let us give you a gift, instead of information."
3. "We don't know anything about Ingard."
4. "We'll try to answer your questions, but do not guarantee that our answers will be right."
5. "What do you take us for, a pack of tattle-tales?"


Better to give Aslandar a gift than information we are unsure of. (2)
Ingard is a bold one; his deeds will surely be celebrated in the chronicles. (1)
Ingard pays but token attention to the edicts of the gods. They will surely punish him someday. (1)
Ingard is so honest he does not recognize dishonesty in others. (1)
Aslandar's clan grows impatient with us. We can't afford to offend him. (4)
Ingard is a well known skinflint. (1)
Just tell him what we think of him, as if we were speaking about Ingard.

We were feuding with the Narri once and they kicked our butts. Then we allowed the marriage between the two clans and went from worst to first with 'em and now we're getting a favor from them. Hot diggity.

More than half of the circle can provide some input. 1

Presents! \o/


Other moderately competent bargainer not on our ring! Go! (Except I forgot to swap the caravan to Large before I took this screenshot. I did after but before I sent it out.)


And in the meantime, our first trader returned. With success!


And then we'll explore our own tula because we can't actually afford to do much else in Dark right now and at the worst case it'll keep the bandits down.


Sweeeeeeeet, both more trading and more materials.


Bolik, a young, energetic farmer, on the road to prosperity, asks the clan council for help. He claims that his stead is haunted. Objects move about. Wailing noises come from nowhere. Bolik's wife and child have even seen an apparition.

1. Conduct a lawsuit against the ghost.
2. Launch a thorough investigation into the haunting.
3. Order Bolik to move; burn down his stead.
4. Recommend that Bolik move.
5. Send a devotee of Ernalda to banish the ghost.
6. Send a devotee of Issaries to persuade the ghost to leave.


(In theory you can also have a devotee of Humakt threaten the ghost, but we have no Humakti at all, much less on the ring. They're not very common at all, really.)

Horvator Farsee once conducted a case against a spirit, so there may be precedents for outlawing the ghost. (1)
Most of our gods were dead, but brought back to live by Orlanth and the Lightbringers. (How is this even relevant, Orlgard.)
Exorcism is not a specialty of the gods we worship. We must improvise a solution. (4, 6)
I don't know what a ghost would want from us; how can I then bargain with one? (2, 3)
My mistress, Ernalda, is leader of the female gods. Perhaps, through her, we could seek the aid of Ty Kora Tek, Goddess of the Dead. (5)
None of Heort's Laws obligate us to help the victim of a haunting.
Bolik must have forgotten the name of one of his ancestors. Let us make sport of his foolishness.
