That was for the longer term, however. For now, you had to deal with this new wrinkle. The open war against the Duke Di Interres. This would have to end soon, since the opening shots had been fired and first blood spilled without Di Interres taking too heavy a blow. Already, rumor had it that Di Interres was shopping about for mercenaries to bolster his wounded forces, and drafting more Household Militia, redeploying from other provinces, to try and assemble a force great enough to crush you. Proud young noble he was, he had not been defeated harshly enough to give up right away.
>The enemy troops marked on Tolvidaria are not the only ones there. Just the only ones mobile and able to quickly counteract actions.
That meant, if you were going to go on the offensive, you had to do it now while you had the initiative. Yet Tolvidaria was still too heavily guarded to go straight for the throat without incredible difficulty and near assured defeat. Not unless you got a large amount of help in a short amount of time…
>Call for a meeting with the Duke to negotiate. You had his men prisoner, you had demonstrated he couldn’t just squash you like a bug. It wouldn’t be the ideal circumstances to negotiate in- but surely now he had to recognize you as the threat you were, and that if he wished to keep anything at all, that he should kneel to you and the League.
>Hold back and prepare for the next battle. You didn’t have the overwhelming horde necessary to surge forth and crush the provincial capital, and your coffers were dry. The time would come when the Duke would be forced to try again- and you’d welcome the second effort.
>Use what initiative you have to begin an offensive. Right now, it was the best advantage you had to capitalize on, risky as it might be… (Attack/Occupy Where in the County?)
>The time was now to attack- but you couldn’t do it on your own. You’d have to go and ask nicely for aid from somewhere, and quick. Much longer than a month and the Duke would be ready for what you could throw at him… (Ask Who? Not everybody may be willing or able to provide as much as expected…)
>Other?
Also-
>Other Turn Actions?
>2d6 for Legion
