A couple hundred if you can find a buyer? You could just toss it into the loot and declare its value a couple hundred people as well?

This.

We have an opportunity to be a good person and NOT contribute to anybody's enslavement (send our Gezerean men to guard their families, have the people in our neighborhood pay the tax) and optionally save a few people too (various ways of passing out chips to poor folk).

There's no way to make this NOT a shitshow, the king of Kitron has agreed that there shall be a shitshow, all we can do is minimize our involvement in it.

King Whomos? Damuzi, the son of a soldier who spent most of his life in a slum never heard of such a man. Your knowledge of the Old Tales are limited mostly to the really old ones involving Labaras, those tied to important holidays and those about the line Kitron ultimately claims as its heritage. You are certainly no religious scholar.

I love how Damuzi, the son of a soldier who spent most of his life in a slum and has recently bought a slave to help with the household, has apparently decided to have treasonous thoughts to defy the king and now thinks slavery is horrible.

Does he? I think we're predominantly in favour of doing the job, maybe with a bit of protecting the Gezerans whence we came thrown in.

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Let's not play everyone the same way. What's the point?

This guy just has to survive until we go back to Enkidel, and j really don't see how this could be bad for him. Most of the people in Kitron are from Kitron. He may be a poo poo person, but he isn't our main character. He is doing the best he can though.

"I like Ur and Kavodel and Enki being nice to people for some reason."

Wrong Voter amongst wrong voters
I suggest we give our sword to the king, and ask that it pay for many if not cancel the whole shebang. It is very possible he'll just take the sword and continue to tax, but if he does it'll show him up as a jerk, and in any case he's the guy who would be most effective with that sword anyway. And it's got Elness on it, that's sure to mess with him.

Give our sweetass sword to the king for paying as many Gezerans as we can manage.

I never regret going full liberal.

I don't think he has a problem with slavery, rather it's a crisis of culture not principle because surprise Damuzi sees himself as a Gezeran rather than a Kitronite. It's not "free the slaves" it's "save my people".

Yeah, I (and I'm interpreting most people voting similarly) am playing Damuzi as more of a "my people" type person than a "no slaves ever" type person. Big difference.

If it were Accoans being rounded up, (my idea of) Damuzi wouldn't give a poo poo.
