"It's up to you, Pharaoh; either way, it doesn't seem like there are enough men to go around from what we've seen, and things seem pretty tense between their people."

I'll discuss the idea of procuring men for the village with the lord and see what he thinks.

"When do you want to go?"

"Well, first we should see if there are any other places we could get men from. If there are none, then we should leave as soon as possible."

"Alright," she answers you, "How are we going to find other places to get men? Do you want to ask Lord Orlouge?"
Sun Dec 5 2010 4:00 am # -
"Well yes, that would be the plan."

Hmm, looks like I missed that post.
The two of you proceed to Lord Orlouge's; he's presenty smoking a hand-rolled, filterless cigarette, and offers you one when you come in.

I'll accept one gratefully.
"Lord Orlouge, it's come to our attention that there is a severe male deficit in your village. Dawn and I thought we might help out with that. We cannot have children, so the obvious solution is to bring men here. Outside of Lord Orpheus' realm, are there any other places we can maybe find males willing to relocate here?"

Lord Orlouge responds, "There aren't a lot of men here, no. Isn't it great? The women practically fall over each other trying to get to what few men we have. We have strict laws governing what men are allowed to live here; you, however, clearly are in the green in that regard.
"There are many places in Kingsland with men; there just aren't many men who make the cut."

"Have you thought about recruiting suitable candidates?"
Mon Dec 6 2010 10:42 pm # -
"Not really," he responds. "I love the society I rule over. Why do you ask? Is there a problem?"
Tue Dec 7 2010 12:18 pm # -
"Well, it seems to me that several of the women have expressed interest in having children. It just makes sense to find them suitable candidates to procreate with."
Tue Dec 7 2010 2:01 pm # -
"They're free to procreate with as many men in the village as they'd like, myself included," he smiles.

"Very well then. I suppose if it isn't broken, no need to fix it."
Back to work on the forge then.
Wed Dec 8 2010 5:45 am # -
Dawn asks you on the way back to the forge, "So, that's it, then?
"Do you think they'll try to get violent?"
Wed Dec 8 2010 2:47 pm # -
Who?"
Wed Dec 8 2010 4:55 pm # -
"The women; is there even such a thing as monogamy here?"
Wed Dec 8 2010 7:40 pm # -
"Somehow, I don't think so. And if they get violent, we'll deal with it as it comes."

The two of you return to the forge and continue work on it; the basic structures are up, and it is clear now on sight what you are making. More work is being done inside; some of the women seem to have heard about your situation, but most either haven't heard or don't care that you're with someone as evidenced by their flirtatious attitudes.

I will politely answer any questions and not play into their conversations too much. My next situation to deal with will be finding raw materials to work with in the forge. I will go to his highness and see if he may know of how to obtain any materials I'll need. Coal, metals, Tools, etc.

"Forgive me for asking, but what sort of metal did you need? I don't know much about blacksmithing, in all honesty."

This thread will be continued on the new forums.
