Time for some wheeling, and maybe some dealing!

We upgraded our Shrine to Issaries to a Temple. It now provides permanent Silvertongue and Market Blessings

We sent Farnan off to the Rune Ducks again, with 20 Goods and 175 Food


(I really want them in our tribe later :ninja:)

Old Mate's off into the wild blue yonder once again.



Results pending!

I'm not sure it's wise to leave zero magic in reserve. Having that ridiculously high luck bonus seems to be coasting us to victory so far :v:

We should curry favour with another clan by telling them of this opportunity to harass their foes. But we must choose a clan which regards us favourably, or they will take it wrongly. (4)

Hiring foreign magicians to vex one's foes is not illegal, but I can't think of any great kings or heroes who would have done such a thing. (2)

Hire him to curse one of our enemies!
Yes, but we've only got 13 goods darling and he's asking 50.

He hasn't told us exactly what he would do to our enemies. His offer is too vague. (2)
Plausible deniability Verlain, plausible deniability..

He is a haughty fellow, and will be offended if we try to bargain with him- so offended that he will refuse to deal with us at all.

If the rest of you want to fiddle with foreign magicians, so be it. Just don't go raiding now, when the farmers are working hard in their fields to provide the clan with food. (1,2,4)


Man I couldn't even get a Heroquest in before we had an event! What's the plan Australi?

- Bargain with him.
- Forget the incident.

Oh! One thing to know now that we have a Tribe and are putting magic into Heroism:

The way Heroism works, you get larger stat boosts for worshippers of, and skills related to, deities to whom you have larger temples.

So, for example, that Issaries temple means our Heroism magic is going to do more for Bargaining. If we want our ring (or just Ernaldness...) to get better at Combat, we should expand our shrine to Humakt. If we want to improve our current King, the temple to Orlanth is a priority, etc. etc.

As for this dude, tell our bros the Greydogs about him. Or maybe tell the ducks. Will it let you send him to the ducks?

Forget his offer/ Like someone else said, this sounds a little too much like secret murder to be safe, but it's probably best not to go antagonizing a guy who can visit catastrophe upon whole clans.

That qualifier is necessary because regular murder is legal in Orlanthi custom.

We then sent Farnan out to the Eagle Clan to buy some cows!



We will gain their esteem by helping them; if we threaten them, we will gain their hatred. (3)

We are not obligated to help them. (2)

Tihs is an elcnxleet cachne to get two feos at one aetnohr's ttaohrs. (4)

I have heard there are shamans in the area who seek out clans who have just been raided. They offer to send bad spirits against the enemies of those who hire them. (2,3)

We aren't exactly wealthy ourselves. We can't help them. (2)

*Trading with the Eagle Clan*

If we tell them we sent the Dwarfs after them, they will be even more afraid, and will cough up the tribute we demand. (1,5)

I agree with the rock. These dwarves were definitely sent by that other clan that's right next to us and we don't like and has lots of delicious territory we want to seize.(4)

Listen, Ernaldness, if you wanna do something, you cough up the fifteen goods needed.

We can't demand tribute from these people. No-one likes a greedy rear end in a top hat. But we can't give them anything and be magnanimous either, because our coffers are empty. Hmm...

gently caress it, tell them that someone else sicced the Shortarses on them. 4. Surely, nothing bad will happen from this!
