Much like most of you predecessors, you're the Guild's Council bitchboy. As easily as they put you in power, they can put someone else, so your position is precarious. But it seems like they like you, if that counts for anything.

There is also the issue of securing the loyalty of Big Satan Army.

A group of hardened Battlemages, who been keeping the city in one piece against all kinds of threats, they specialize in Barrier Spells and Arcane Darts that never miss. A large salvo from them is usually enough to bring down pretty much anything. They hide behind their bodyguards when they need to go outside the city, burly men with massive shields, trained to sacrifice their lives if needed to preserve the mages. This has been deterrence enough against monsters and invaders alike - at least the smart ones.

They think you're just another bureaucrat that will soon be replaced while they do the hard work of keeping the city in one piece.

You go parley with the orcs! You take a small escort of a few mages and bodyguards, a half orc translator, and approach the orcs showing them the palms of your hands, as a sign you come in peace.

"Greetings, I am the leader of Big Satan City! I came to inquire you personally why are you trespassing on my lands!"

"I am Grokkar! There has been a theft! A totem from our tribe was stolen and we tracked the thief towards your city!"

"What this totem looks like?"

The translator and the orcs talk for awhile.

The translator then says:

"Uh... it looks like a big carved tree log, adorned with gold and silver!"

"I'm sorry, but by now whoever stole your totem already melted the gold and the silver. There is not much I can do."

The orc gives a big roar. Then starts talking very fast and hitting his own chest.

"The totem housed the spirits of our ancestors! Now your town is cursed and a great famine will fall upon you unless you pay the price in blood! There were three thiefs! We demand the heads of three humans, or three human slaves!"

What do you do?

> Dispatch orders for your soldiers to grab some unfortunate souls from your dungeon, execute them and give their heads to the orcs

After you deal with the orcs, you decide to go deal with the Vampires, Thieves and Assassins in your town!

You organize a clandestine meeting in the sewers of the city, where the local underbelly sends some representatives to meet you. They say that if more than three people show up, the deal is off and they will kill you!


You arrive with one mage and one bodyguard.

In there, a very pale female vampire in a dark dress, her red eyes glowing in the half light of the chamber, draw your attention immediately. She seems to be unconcerned. You realize this is her domain. There are also two guys, one from the thieves guild and one from the assassin's guild, their faces covered with a balaclava and a ninja mask, respectively. Everyone there seems to be dressed in black, including you and your guards.

The vampire lady speaks first.

"We would like you to keep your troops outside the Lanterns District! If you can do that, our relation will improve significantly."

The Lanterns District? It is the nightlife district of the city. During the day, many large shops are open. At night, basically it turns into a massive den of prostitution. The guards are constantly called to settle brawls in there. Drugs and smuggling also are rampant.

You have your soldiers execute three thieves and give their heads to the orcs.
The orcs seem satisfied, for now.

They ask your name, and you tell them. "I am Karok, of the City of Big Satan."

They say: "You have honor, Karok! The supreme warchief will hear about this!"

(relations with the orcs improve by 1)

In the negotiation with the underbelly of your city, you demand a piece of the action to turn a blind eye to their activities, to be delivered in gold!

They don't fundamentally disagree, though the thief representative argue a lot about amount and location to be delivered.

He lowballs and offer you 1,000 gold (per turn). You tell them it is ridiculous and ask for 20,000 gold. They claim they don't even steal that much, and keep lowballing. After much haggling, they agree to give you 5,000 gold! They will deliver it to the sewers under your house.

(you now have undeclared money! You can spend your ill gotten gains to Relax+ (increasing the stress reduction to 3 instead of 2), to acquire assets (which give you more money over time), to buy luxury items (which give you a chance of reducing stress by 1 even if you don't relax), and to bribe people (makes appeasing more effective) or whatever else you can think of)


You decide to hire Archers and Battlemages, spending 50k!

You hire 50 Archers and 30 Battlemages!

(hiring costs 20 times the upkeep, which is roughly 30 gold/turn per unit)

You decide to attend the dinner. You wear a very formal attire and head through Lantern's District alone. Gang members and prostitutes look at you and whisper among themselves.

It is not difficult to find the place, it is the largest manor in a gated street. Gating streets is illegal, but still. The porter at the gate asks what you want, and you tell him the password. He opens the gates for you, and you enter. You see two men holding the leash of a dozen huge dogs, which don't bark at you.

You knock on the door, and the vampire lady from earlier opens it. You get surprised, because you were expecting a servant. Her eyes are not glowing red.

She gives a small shriek of joy upon seeing you, grabs you and pulls you in, saying she's so glad you came. Her skin is... warm? And she doesn't look quite as pallid. She shows you around, her manor has lots of artwork, and she says the place been in her family for generations.

There are dozens of people attending the dinner and she introduces you to them, it's basically everyone who has money in Lantern District, and a few other people from other districts.

You wonder how many of these people are vampires.

You eat a lavish meal and drink some quality wine, there is music and a dance, the vampire lady insists on dancing with you. She's a very good dancer.

You learn she goes by the name of Lady Akali.

When the first few guests start to leave the house, she leads you into her room. She gets rid of her fancy dress and you two have some torrid night of pleasure!

The next morning you wake up in her bed, very dizzy. You almost faint getting up. She's nowhere to be seen. She left a handwritten note for you. You focus your eyes until you can read it. She thanks you for the night and is very sorry she had an urgent appointment. She asks if she can send you letters now and then or if that's a stretch. Her handwriting is very clear with little flourish.

There's ink and parchment nearby. Do you leave her an answer, or do you simply leave?

You decide to collect extra taxes for cash. You dispatch your tax collectors and they return with 100k in gold!

The guild representative shows up at your office.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you taxing us, your bestest of friends? We demand tax rebates, immediately!"

> Don't give the merchants any tax rebates
> Give the merchants 25k gold in tax rebates
> Give the merchants 50k gold in tax rebates
> Give the merchants 75k gold in tax rebates
> Give the merchants 100k gold in tax rebates (giving them even taxes they didn't pay)
> Give the merchants 125k gold in tax rebates (giving them extra money from the treasury)
> Give the merchants 150k gold in tax rebates (that should make them happy)
> Write in


You decide to build some city improvements! The city has many slum districts that could be razed, previous administrations didn't care much about the uncontrolled urban sprawl. What do you want to build?

> City walls. The city is massive and so the project would be very expensive.
> Sanitation System. The city has an ancient sewer, but coverage is haphazard at best. Expanding it would be very expensive and could piss off a lot of people.
> Marketplace. Commerce happens all over the city, but there is no centralized area. Expropriate an entire slum district and turn it into a grand bazaar. This should boost economy.
> Temple. Currently religion is practice in the houses of people. Build a grand temple to some deity. That introduces a new faction, Priests, which will start of with high relations, and will also boost relations with peasants.
> Library. Currently there is no centralized place for your sages to gather. A library would introduce a new faction, Sages, and help with research, both mundane and magical.
> Courthouse. Currently you can arrest whoever you want and there is no due process, but it is time consuming. A courthouse would manage these for you, but would create a new faction, Judges.
> Public Bathhouse. promotes hygiene, and is always a people pleaser.
> Hospital. A facility to take care of the sick, in the outskirts of town. Reduces the risk of diseases and the effect of plagues.
> Diplomatic Quarter. Raze some slums and build a dedicated district for embassies. Once word gets out, other cities and kingdoms will contact you to establish embassies. Should facilitate negotiations, espionage and trade alliances.

You leave a short letter to the vampire:

"You can write to me whenever you want, Akali."

You decide to give 25k gold in tax rebates to the merchants. You argue that the tax wasn't aimed at them and that this is the best you can do.

They are very angry at you, but their representative says:

"Well, you better do better than that next time."

And that was it. You pushed your luck, and the merchants let it go this time.

You contact the local architects and say you want to build a Diplomatic Quarter, to house embassies.

They say there are three areas they could use for that.

> Flatpack Slum.
The largest and oldest slum. You wouldn't even need the entire slum, just a good chunk of it. There are many gangs there... but the place is mostly wooden shacks... surely a small arson could serve as a pretext for reconstruction...

> Birdeye Slum.
It is a smaller slum, next to the Crafter's Cradle. People who can't afford to live in the Cradle end up here, if they are lucky. If not, they have to go live in the outskirts of town, in the fast growing Knot Slum. There aren't many gangs here. You could just offer the people here some money and they would leave, no big deal. The architects agree this is a very good place to build, albeit expensive.

> Old Graveyard Slum.
The place used to be a graveyard. A good chunk of the bodies were exhumated. When people realized that digging all the corpses out of there was more work than it was worth it, they just had a priest consecrate the whole area. Bodies rot in time, right? That was a very long time ago. You never had undead problems there, so it is probably no big deal. Most people don't even like living there, it is mostly old people who cant afford better places, for them relocation would be a relief. The architects agree that this is the cheapest option.

>>6461700

You lead the nagas throughout the city!

Their leader is a naga called Chrysilla. You learn that she is relatively young (for a naga; she's probably much older than you). She's very talkative and speaks with a slight sybil. She says something about a golden underground palace.
She mentions her deity Sszass, the god of Serpents, quite often. She seems to find everything interesting and new.

Her comitive stays head straight to slave market and buy every slave that was for sale in there, overbidding everyone, about a dozen slaves, then they stay at the most expensive inn in town overnight. They don't eat anything though. Chrysilla explains that nagas don't eat everyday. You notice that overnight their shipment of Snuff disappeared.

There was an incident during the night, you hear. A group of thieves tried to steal their remaining gold, but the naga bodyguards killed one of them and the rest fled. They left the body of the dead thief on display outside the building, as a warning to others.

Then they depart without much fuss, telling you to invest more in the safety of your guests, and promising to return to buy more slaves!


(I'll assume you spent the state turn building the embassy quarter.
Also, please in the future specify who you want to engage into diplomacy with.)


You arrange another meeting with Akali. This time she invites you to the mines.

She's there, wearing work clothes and work boots and with a mining hat. She hands you a mining hat as well.

"Shall we go in?"

The mines are largely ran by slaves. The crack of the whip can occasionally be heard.

"Most slaves in the city, as you probably know, are people who got into too much debt and can't pay it. They are enslaved to the mines and their pay docked until that time when they can be free again. If your debt is such that working on the mines will not pay it in a reasonable amount of time, the custom is to brand you and sell you as a lifelong slave, to cut the losses."

"The higher level mines produce mostly copper. The deeper mines produce lots of other things - tin, silver, even traces of gold here and there. The main gold vein is many miles to the south, far beyond the reach of our tunnels, but small amounts can be found all over the place, if you dig deep enough."

"The silver is usually found mixed with large amounts of lead. Most of our lead production is used building plumbing for the sewers."

"The mines are operated in a consortium. The guild owns 40%. My family owns 20% A variety of other smaller shareholders hold the other 40%."

"My family also owns most of the smelters, in a private partnership with a few other families. We have accrued many vested interests in this city over the generations."

>>6461702
(3/4)

"There's also... monsters... occasionally. In the deep mines. We don't know where they come from. Well, sort of. They probably tunnel in from a large cave complex below our mines. We lose slaves occasionally. The slaves dread the deep tunnels. Problem is most of the better ore is down there. It's such a hassle."

She shows you around the deep tunnels. In some sections, you notice some inscriptions on the walls.

"What is this?", you ask.

"This? Oh, it was already here when we arrived. One day one of our tunnels intersected a different tunnel network. Natural caves, though carved with these strange runes. It saved us years of digging, and we're still find more ore there all the time. We still had to reinforce the entire cave with supports though. But that's where the monsters show up."

"What kind of monsters?"

"Well... mostly blind cave trolls, some kind of strange troglodytes, burrowing worms... we tried to put the troglodytes to work on the mines, but haven't had much successs..."

"Well, I've been telling you all this because my private security is very... lacking. Our consortium is seeking a permit from the city to build... a small tunnel fighting army... to defend against the underground creatures."

"Currently in the city no one is allowed to have a private army, and private security is heavily regulated, they can only use blunt weapons - no spears, no swords, not even bow and arrow. A bunch of thugs with clubs aren't very effective against the threats we're facing down here."

"What do you need?"

"Well... we need permits to use Alchemical Weapons... to deal with the trolls... alchemist fire, acid... also better tunnel weapons... just some light infantry armed with short swords... to fight in the tunnels..."

Choose all options that apply:

> Allow heavily regulated alchemical weapons in the tunnels only
> Allow alchemical weapons for the general population
> Do not allow alchemical weapons at all, they are too dangerous
> Pass a wide ranging law lifting the ban on bladed weapons longer than a knife in the city by the common population
> Give a permit to the mining guild to have their own light infantry armed with short swords private army for the tunnels
> Do not allow private armies at all, you don't need that kind of trouble
> Write in

>Write in: The state will provide manpower and equipment for fighting cave monsters. This arrangement will last for about a year, where it will be assessed if this made any real difference
I am in favor of not letting our rivals build private armies, even if it costs us

>>6461706
Grain
>Gift some

State action
>1: Research
We need new and more efficient ways to deal with cave monsters, especially trolls
>2: Diplomacy
Arrange a meeting with the local factions to improve relations. We should also hear them out to find out what they all want from the state at this time

Personal action
>1: Relax
>2: Write in: Invest in a personal study. Shelves for books, comfy chair, window with nice view, and maybe even a telescope.

>>6461704

No need to be hasty.
>>6461706

Nagas.
