Vacationing Gnome,

How much food can you sell this turn?

Mr. Lizard,

How much do you need? I have probably up to 100k. Let me know.

Call it 25k gold in exchange? That will clear the second 30k food installment and a 2:1 trade on the remaining 50k. 

If you're willing to write a Haiku about the dastardly nature of Mr. Prince, I'd knock that down to 5k. Courtesy of the gold flowing from my nethers.

25k gold it is.

Mr. War-ish-lock,

I have a proposal for you. It is simple. So simple that I'm fairly certain that Mr. Prince could grasp it. Here goes:

• I take back the town you took from me in Zamora.
  
• I keep the city I took from you in the Diamond Coast, despite it's poor spelling, as well as the population centers that I am at currently.
  
• You take none of these back.
  
• You take no further action against either the WTE or me.
  
• I leave the rest of your region alone and assume that you have learned the error of your ways.
  

Let me know what you think. Personally, I think it is quite fair. As promised, your groups provided a speedbump and little else to La Maquina Gnomia. Best you let it go back to its travels instead of inviting it to stay.

As a gesture of good faith, I have enclosed a postcard detailing the great efforts that went into claiming your city, the sadly spelled Great Wrym.

WTE,

How goes the war? I see some activity down in the Untamed Lands. Let me know if I am needed. I am choosing to keep to my word to not pursue the Warlock further until he does something else, at which point he gets the hammer. Let me know if he does anything that warrants it. It seems that Mr. Prince has. Any luck on his capital?

I hope you enjoyed the gift last turn. More coming this turn. Same amounts.

Thanks for the unexpected gifts.  Things continue to move along.  The dastardly Demon continues to fight and still has several towns and villages in both Nyvaria and Untamed and also just took 1 in Pelinor.  I continue to make progress but if you need something to do those towns in Nyvaria would welcome a new owner, I'm sure.  
The hidden capital has still not been found but 3 more squares were eliminated last turn.  If you care to look in his norther area perhaps we could find it quicker but I know your a traveling man and you are so much in demand.
WA has behaved himself.

Cheers, W.T.E.
Oh, I'll share my secret of keeping up a good tan.  I never hang out with shady people!

[The Painted Man]

Oh, Mr. War-ish-lock,

You seem confused. Attacking my poor villages is an example of behavior to be avoided. I suppose it is time to return to the diamond coast. Where should I head first? Lycanis? Miramar and Tarantula? All three? That would detract from my wizard pooping, but sometimes lessons must be taught.

Last chance to apologize before we come knocking.

Mr. Prince,

You seem to have gone quiet. Since you've avoided poking the bear (me), I will continue to grant you a reprieve. However, you're obviously building up what you no doubt think of as "castle buster" groups based on the army groups in Nyvaria and Untamed. If I see any of these, you forfeit your region. And those troops. And whatever pride you may have left.

I trust we understand each other.

DE - GN

I hope you understand sign language.  One hand up, middle finger extended?  Do you need me to translate?  

P.S. How is my bastard son doing?

DE - HA/SO

Need some help taking the GN down to his former pint sized format.  He is running away with the game and enjoying the Godfather role too much.  Kick him in the nuts (if you can find them) .. he can't be everywhere.
