They have seen another dragon raiding within your territory, seizing tribute that ought to be yours, and eating your prey. Based on their description, you realize that the dragon is none other than your elder clutchmate, Axilmeus.

Axilmeus was always an overbearing brute, seeking to seize what did not belong to him. (You may recall what he did to your golden shield.)

What do you do about Axilmeus's incursion into your domain?

Dear Axilmeus: :vd:

One reason: You pissed me off posted:

How dare he enter your territory? His effrontery leaves you no choice.

Vigilance increases.

Your rapid response also prevents him from taking some of your tribute.

Wealth increases.

The big, open-ended question posted:

As your elder clutchmate, Axilmeus is a foe worthy of respect.

How do you plan to defeat him?

Wait for him to come to me. He'll need to, eventually, and I'll have the advantage.
Set up an ambush for him.
Confront him in the air, relying on my superior aerial maneuver skills.
Just head in his general direction and beat him into the ground like the cur he is.
Trick Axilmeus into fighting one of my enemies.
Bribe him to leave my territory and never return.

Let's you and him fight posted:

Axilmeus is dangerous, but you can turn that into an advantage by arranging for him to battle one of your enemies. Besides, if two of your enemies fight, you always end up ahead.

Some of your subjects have complained to you about a wizard…Vermias, Vormius, something like that. You haven't bothered to learn her name yet, since she clearly isn't a threat to you. Apparently, she has been performing strange experiments on local people and other animals in the kingdom, and she defends her territory vigorously. If Axilmeus can eliminate her, so much the better.

How do you arrange for Axilmeus to fight her?

I lure Axilmeus there in flight.
I spread rumors about Vermias's great wealth.

Show Axilmeus how much the material components for spells cost and let him make his own decision.

Now, I heard on the street... posted:

Axilmeus won't be able to resist the opportunity to seize a treasure trove.

You spread the rumors about Vermias's wealth, and Axilmeus takes the bait. Or more accurately, that's what you think happens. Axilmeus disappears shortly after you spread the rumors, and you begin to relax. A week later, as you take a leisurely hunting flight through your territory, Axilmeus drops out of the sun at you and forces you to battle. Apparently, he saw through your ruse and decided to use it as an opportunity to set up an ambush of his own.

"Fighting for survival' posted:

You battle Axilmeus on even terms, without any tactical advantage. The fighting is intense and deadly serious, and you find that he is a formidable foe.

As the fight begins in earnest, Axilmeus gashes you with his claws, buffets you with his wings, and bites out a gobbet of flesh from your legs. He is stronger and faster than you, but at least as importantly, he has more of the killer instinct that you need in a close fight. Your situation is desperate, and you begin to wonder whether you will die this day.

Brutality and Honor increase.

And... done. posted:

Axilmeus thrashes you badly. He gashes your belly, ripping away some armored plates that will never regrow and leaving a sore spot that will always bother you in the future. As you struggle to survive, he stomps on your ribs, snapping the iron-hard bones like twigs. Every breath for the rest of your life is a little harder and a little more painful. You struggle desperately, hoping somehow to survive, as he plays with you with increasing cruelty.

Finally, however, Axilmeus makes a mistake. As he gloats and belittles you, he turns his attention away for just long enough, and you lash out with one last swipe of your claws. You catch him across the eyes, gouging out one altogether and leaving the other blinded with blood and bone fragments. Now, you are able to gain the upper hand. You quickly press your advantage and defeat Axilmeus, but the battle has cost you badly.

Let's finish this. posted:

You have defeated Axilmeus. He is still alive, but you have beaten him and he will be unable to offer serious resistance. What do you do with him now?

Axilmeus is too great a threat to leave alive, but he is worthy of a quick and painless death.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, I will make Axilmeus suffer before he dies.
Axilmeus must leave my territory, never to return, but he can live.

You were a dick, but you fought well posted:

You snap Axilmeus's neck, killing him instantly. He fought well and was a worthy fellow dragon.

Honor increases and Brutality decreases.

The game asks for your email so you can save your game up to this point if you want a good stopping point or if you want to start from the middle but make different choices.

Heroes. Who needs em? posted:

There's a travelling party of adventurers in town. The people are already calling them "heroes," telling tales of their past deeds.

Do-gooders like these can be very dangerous. What do you want to do?

Gather information about them.
Challenge them to a duel.
Kidnap a princess to lure them out.
Scare them off.
Ignore them.
