It’s quite easy to negotiate with someone in a high mood just from a little sugar. These dwarf ate these cheap ‘guest cake’ that only looks good and plain tasting. Ha! They would faint if they sees the REAL cake in my large fridge. That’s mine only, of course. Even if I got tired of it, I would rather trash that that letting someone else taste my unique heaven of sugar bliss.

Anyway, the dwarf are hesitant of leaving the war when I make my first condition, and the Jelly maid shows up in time to double dip more cake on these hungry dwarf.

“Please takes these extra to your kinfolks as a gesture of my appreciation of your race.” I said kindly and nicely like when I want to get something from something, which is now. “It’s unfortunate that many would not come to live here and enjoy all the cake they desire.” I make a sad, sad expression like the cartoon adult that is nice but got sad. I forgot what is that cartoon. There are ton of them.

“We will… Surely tell our kins of your generosity, Mr. Trump.” They replied with guilty conscience. Dumb asses.

I pretend to be a bit relief and happier. Thing are going as pla-

“Oh!” One of the dwarf suddenly Oh-ed like an idiotic midget. Is that how they burg? He continues, “Our King wouldn’t be pleased if that happen.”

The other dwarves agrees and begins to murmur between each other. drat it. I forgot all about the King’s feeling because I don’t give a drat about other kings and the shithole cave they live in. But as a negotiator, the King would be a third party that need to be appeased. So it’s only logical to make the final push with giving a gift to their king.

But, what should I give to their King? This is a big deal, obviously.
Write-in gift, can be anything modern that a wealthy mansion would have.

For the toilet they need to understand to get the full implication but can't make their own. We wanna get them on the hook for our single source game changing technology. Obviously have some jelly give use details but say we want to provide the most suitable version for the dignity of the kings stature

Then send the correct sizes of stuff. Maybe couple golf balls, but act like the dwarf king OBVIOUSLY knows about the game and how to play, we wouldn't insult directly by sending instructions, then these guys can go back to their poo poo hole until they come back with something useful

If we could provide a power source, the tacky chandelier would be perfect, or a refrigerator to keep beer cool or the freezer to provide ice.

The toilet is a terrible idea, it's a really simple device that can be copied with rough tools, we'd be giving away our shitter monopoly before we can roll out IP law.

Edit: Bifocals. A magic device to aid in reading and writing your most sensitive missives, and your decrees, for a wise and literate king. We sure as heck don't read, so there's no loss.

“Ah, yes. I have a gift for your wonderful, wonderful king.” My perfect interruption broke their argument just as they reach the point of calling each other’s loyalty into question. Not because I just happened to finish burger.

The three dwarf turns their attentions to me with twinkle sparkle eyes of pure admiration of me. “A gift for our king?” One of the dwarf validates what he heard with a dumbfounded look on his face.

“Yes! A gift to the king! For your king is great, I have great things about him, and I am sure we will be best pal! Please accept it and bring it safely to your amazing king!” I read out my mental praise scrips.

The smiles and nodding approval spread among them. “We are very grateful for your generosity!”

Another impatient greedy dwarf follows up. “What gift shall we be expecting, Mr. Trump?”

“Please, call me Mr. President.” I gently offered them my proper titled in this Trump Land.

“Ah, yes… Mr. President.” The greedy dwarf corrected.

I stood up high above these dwarf from my chair. Towering over time like a… Their respected parent. “Come with me.” It’s time to show these kids their new toys.

-------------
After taking the longer route of walking more hallways to show off my prestige modern rich infrastructure and dedicated designs, those dwarf almost forgotten there were going to pick up a gift as they admires the greatest sightseeing tour of their life.

Alas, my leg got tired, so the tour will have to cut short and arrives at the nice private reading room filled with books that are supposed to be expensive and smart-looking.

“Here it is.” I called their wildly marveling eyes that stares at every features of the room to the attention of this piece of fine furniture.












“T-this is…” The dwarf are in awe of my golden image and the beauty of the Trump Tower Clock that mash perfectly to the bust. This thing is beautiful.

“This thing is beautiful.” I repeated what I have in mind, with semblance of regret for wanting to gift this away. “It’s the Trump Tower Clock with my golden bust commissioned by a friend in the government.”

“Wh-what is it doing?” One of them asked as they stares at the tick-tock mechanism of the clock moving its hand in circle. This followed by how it work, what magic powers it, what is this 12 hours thing, etc.

I gave them as much information that I can. For those that I have no answer to, I pretend it is state secret and can’t tell them. Regardless, they are deeply impressed and more confused by the modern term that they have no idea what it mean. They thank me many more time as I beg my leave for other business, but it’s really just me getting tired of babysitting them.

The dwarf left almost immediately the next morning with the Trump Tower Clock on a protected wagon. Hey! They are supposed to survey my land! Bah, slacker! Smoocher! They better come back as soon as they are done or else they will be downgraded to SILVERMEMBER!

drat stupid dwarf! I tell them to deliver a gift and ALL THREE of them went back! Slackers! Smoochers!


Fortunately, to my god-gifted luck, the human gradually arrives within these two weeks. After some background vetting at the guard plus Hobbit’s assurance that the have no criminal records, Trump Land’s gate is now well guarded! Two trained human guards for each of the two gates and two wall, Bodyguard (Praetorian King’s Guard) with lots of armor, and four human rangers to start scouting the land.


Half of the remaining 37 dwarves came at the rest of the month. I am not answering the same questions again and again, so the my slimes people can tell them whatever. As much as they wished to study the town, I am not making the same mistake again! I tell them to get their rear end off (nicely) to do the job they are paid for! THEN they can study the town. This really motivated them to get their poo poo done.

By the end of the month, a detail geographic report of what all those dwarves and rangers found at some distance from here:



"Circled is the scanned territory and also the maximum distance we can reliably send military aid to protect these territory. The survey and scouting team can keep going to inspect further area for next month, but to be able to protect these further territory would require setting up nearby transportation system, road to increase travel efficiency, or local permanent guard station. The southern island would require a bridge to extend our coverage on it. "


We don’t have enough mercenary to have them stand guard at new territory. We could claim it, but no one would want to settle or work there if the kingdom doesn’t guarantee their safety from bandit and monster. Slave on the other hand…


NO! I said NO SLAVE! We will not do slave!


I have been curious of this decision of yours. Why do you refuses to enact slavery?


Because, chief. *Stand up* Write-in Speech or not




: Anyway, what did we found in this circle?



Our castle town locate in the open plain. West of us is the swamp forest and the abandoned home village of Dragner. The swamp condition makes it difficult for mammal to live in it without eventually catching some disease. Exotic food (likely inedible) and poisonous fume/plant can be found.



South of us is a large beach. Beyond that is a sandy island devoid of plantation. The scout (mostly human ranger) swims over to check the island, and they discovered a ‘roof’ of a ruin structure buried in the sand. An excavation team would be needed to unveil the structure after the bridge is completed and local monster eradicate.



The plains at the north gradually become more fertile with plenty of open spaces to expand most mammal population. It would be great to take all these Greenland for kingdom expansion.



Not far east from us is the sea. A good place to set up a trade port and local shipyard. It’s one less side to worry for land invasion until someone decides to bring in their naval force.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/T8cFbHp.png/img]: Quite straight forward. Since we only have enough spare available workers to work on one area for the next month, expanding upward would be the easier way, but we aren’t in a hurry to increase the size of our land, are we?


Trade port from the East would be great for the economy, but we don’t have any trade partner to take advantage of it. It could serve as a fishery for now if we wish to take an early step on that.


Although the at the south island might just be junk from the past civilization, but it could contain something valuable… Or dangerous.


We are comfortable enough in this city to not needed to go back to the swamp forest, but forest provides many things that we might need like herbs or alchemic ingredients.

It is not straight forward at all!

1) Which side should the city tries to expand towards?
A) East for seaport and fishery.
B) West for securing the forest.
C) North for the wide-open plain.
D) South for the island and ruin.
E) Focus on internal improvement instead.
F) Write-in

---------------------------------
At the same end of the month, the three delivery dwarves returned. However…


Our king appreciates your gift of GOLD and strange contraption. He tasked us to return with a DIAMOND ROTATEBLE statue of him as reciprocal gift. *Sly smile*

Our king’s generosity know no bound! *Happy innocent not-getting-the-point smile*

Our king wish you would accept this gift of ‘Greater’ generosity and serve as a ‘Constant Reminder’ of our friendship. *Mocking smile*

...

2) WRITE-IN

    write in slavery speech bullet points:
  • We're the least racist person, ever
  • terrible for property value, we know property since forever
  • wailing & crying slaves are too annoying

  • SLAVE REVOLTS!?
  • slaves don't pay taxes, and in fact have to be fed and housed, putting burdens on the city
  • slaves have owners, too much red tape

1) B we need to be careful against infiltrators sneaking through the shadows. Plus exotic plants will help attract mages, like hummingbirds

2)

wow it's very obvious the dwarven king is tasteful and knowledgeable. I'm sure he also has good taste and would appreciate some exclusive local exotic valuable spices such as
Trump Vodka,
sun berries,
nutmeg & cinnamon,
silver barb plant,
Trump Steak Fine Jerkies
ginger bulb & saffron flower
dried sizchuan & wasab fruit
surgeon caviar in the can

No one wants to see slaves, they're terrible for PR and for tourism. Besides, we can just tell people that they get to own a piece of land if they work it hard enough.
