Greedy Guests

English Deutsch Français Русский 简体中文日本語

Days: 14

Our greedy neighbors regard the local lands with great interest. From their view, people lead happy and rich lives here, and the government stays out of their business. This makes it a perfect target for invasion. Foreign soldiers, sponsored by the imperialistic Lumber Consortium from Andoran, have entered our domain to loot and pillage under the guise of "establishing order". They hope to seize lands here and claim their rights to a part of the territory.

Community

Margin	Effect
4	The Regent's words stirred up our drunken villagers across several taverns. An angry crowd of peasants stormed the lumber camp, but alas, they were easily beaten back. Once they'd been defeated, the peasants started to respect the intruders and recognize their right to give orders on our lands. Faith in our government has been undermined.
2	The Regent gathered together several local hooligans, well known for their short tempers. They in turn rounded up several dozen of their friends, and attacked the lumber camp in defense of their lands. The intruders suffered a humiliating defeat and were driven away.
3	A huge mob of citizens, on orders from the Regent, assembled and stormed the lumber camp. The hardened and well-equipped common folk terrified the intruders, who couldn't retreat fast enough. The people feel empowered by their victory, and have a new strength of unity.

Culture

Margin	Effect
0	Rumors of a vicious dragon roaming the local lands failed to make an impression on the lumberjacks. Our bards wove convincing tales, but this only escalated the actual threat: new mercenary bands have arrived in the area, seeking to kill the monster and loot its treasure. With their searches consistently ending in failure, they're turning on prey upon our local merchants and travelers instead.
1	The local bards told the intruders stories of vicious bandits in the local forests, but the lumberjacks merely laughed. They're behaving much like bandits themselves, and their power is steadily growing in the domain, along with their numbers.
2	The local bards told the intruders stories of a pack of fierce trolls that dwelled in the woods. The lumberjacks weighed the risks and decided to leave for quieter lands.
3	The bards sent by the Curator managed to unsettle the lumberjacks. They sang ballads of the sinister Wild Hunt that roams the forest at night. The lumberjacks decided not to get involved with such supernatural creatures and returned home. Incidentally, the haunting ballad has already been adopted as part of the local folklore.

Espionage

Margin	Effect
4	Several acts of sabotage were carried out in the lumber camp. Several valuable machines were ruined. However, the invaders were undeterred. Their profits easily make up for such losses. They received a shipment of replacement tools simply and began chopping wood again. The local population is starting to fear and obey them.
2	A series of harmful accidents occurred in the lumber camp, and the invaders fled these hostile lands.
3	The Minister's agents staged a traumatizing performance for the lumber camp. They painted their faces with fluorescent colors, excavated an old bone pile, and acted out an assault by wailing forest ghosts! The willful lumberjacks could stand firm against cold steel and arrows, but they proved deeply superstitious. They dropped their tools and valuables and fled in terror.
