Muamed refuses the payment, asking only for his wounded to be treated. He offers himself to train the villagers to defend themselves so bandits cannot trouble them again.
The villagers commend you for your honor and tend to your wounded. You spend some time teaching the other villagers basic defense before your men are ready to move.
The fate of the captured bandits is left to the villagers
They decide to hold them for ransom.
Carpaccian Empire as Adalwolf Braunau in Anzio
Pledge to king
Basileus Tiberius the Avaricious: What insult is this? Take you me for a sponge, my peasant? The Second Empire is more than capable of handling itself WITHOUT your person and his band of IMAGINARY FRIENDS. LEAVE MY COURT.
Inquire His Majesty's government about an official charter to support the rebels (vassalship?).
Jarl Harald the Guillotine: As much as I despise those Masovian dogs, I'd rather not get involved with a war against them. Due to your intentions, taking you as a vassal would mean a formal declaration of war against the Masovians, and I'm not interesting in such an agreement at this time.
Narvik may not be at war with Masovia, but the frequent raidings ought to make them natural enemies.
Jarl Harald the Guillotine: I do not see a need to sign you as a vassal at this time, however, if you'd like to work as a raider for me I would see no problem. Our coastal attacks aren't viewed as declarations of war so long as they're small and leave quickly.
Perhaps even a deal with the Carpaccians could be formed... but then, what do I know?
Jarl Harald the Guillotine: Hah! Don't insult the honor of my domain! I wouldn't poison my court with the blood of a Tebessan let alone those bastards whose precious empire we destroyed some time ago.
