LI - RD Hey there brother in scales from another mother. I have taxed the town I had in your area and had a fire sale on the furnishings. The former residents are slip sliding away back to the Sword Coast. It was a lovely place for a 4 month vacation! Enjoy the new view.

Little Half men. Twice now I have asked politely for terms on gaining control of the town in my region. Both times you have made it clear the decision was made that you would help feed my troops in the winter in order to keep it. That was your decision and not one I have agreed to or like. This is my decision. I will be taking that town next turn. It is up to you if you wish to vacate it, tax it, or leave it sitting as it is. I had hoped you would understand that being my region it benefits me to have it, but regardless of your understanding or not, this is my decision.
When winter comes if I need food, you will have the leverage to ask for something then if you wish.
All the best

Mr. Black Death,
I'm not sure why you feel the need to engage in name-calling. I don't call you "Mr. Smaller Dragon" or "Mr. Not-As-Impressive-As-The-Other-Dragon Dragon". I like to think we all are capable of better manners. First, you haven't asked twice. You've asked once. I reached out to you to let you know about the town and its amazingness and proposed my thoughts. You did not respond. Then you asked what would be acceptable, and I told you what I thought was fair. Then I invited you and your man on a double-date (my date TBD, of course, because I struggle in this area) to see James Taylor. You've huffed and puffed and offered no terms of your own (and again, only asked once). Do you need a hug? You're acting like you need a hug. Good news! I have hugs aplenty!
It pains me to do this, but I fear my offer of belly rubs and ear scratchies must be rescinded if you're going to be such a not-nice-dragon-person. If you want to come back with an offer, please do. If you want this to be one-sided and simply be a taker, then I'll remove you from my Christmas card mailing list and wish you the best. I want to be friends, the very bestest of friends in fact, but you seem inclined to insult, twist the chain of events, and then simply threaten. I hope to hear back from you before I must finalize things for the month. In the meantime, I'm going to dust off my copy of "The Book of Forgiving" by Desmond Tutu and spend a moment trying to empathize with your position. Do you want to borrow my copy? There's a whole section at the end about what to do if you're the one that needs forgiving. I've never read that section, but I do know that each chapter has a journal exercise and stuff you get to do with a rock! My rock is shiny and shaped like a heart.
I'd love to come to a resolution that suits us both. The James Taylor offer is still on the table, too.
Half-sized but equal in love and other feelings,
The Halfling

The Halfling Mr Halfling,
Your communication style is quite entertaining. That alone makes you a likable Lord of the Realm. I would like to clear up two things to begin. First, you are correct. I was mistaken in that I only asked once, and you did offer twice regarding that town. Regardless of that mistake, twice you have made an offer that doesn't suit our desires. The second thing I would like to clear up is I meant no offense in the use of my colorful language. I am at times uncertain what the proper terminology is to distinguish between the men of so many differing statures. If you took offense at my phrasing, then you have my apologies.
Now that we have cleared those up, I will again state that I will be taking what is mine. While I have no interest in reading, or in music concerts, I do wish that we can remain on friendly terms. There may come a time where you could use something I might be able to offer and vice versa. So I will say this as clear as can be said. Mr. Man who's butt walks closer to the ground, Mr. Man who is vertically challenged, Mr. Man who walks under the saloon doors, Mr. Man who hides under women's skirts......standing ( I am envious of that one), The town is mine. Do what you must, but know that I intend no harm to you in taking what is mine.
Black Death (AKA Smaller Dragons, and AKA Not as Impressive as the other Dragon Dragon)

My blood, your blood, what difference does it make!

The Halfling I randomly feel the need to inform you that 'Handyman' was one of my Dad's top three hated songs. The other two were 'The Boxer' by Simon & Garfunkel and 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' by The Beatles. He loathed songs with repetitive choruses.

TY:AT. Too many of my troops have become sissys and they need to get some battle experience. So your town is going to provide them with some practice. If your fellow gets swept up in things, we'll send him back for a gold piece to pay the coachman. Don't think this is the opening salvo of a campaign. We have some miserable old farts we need to deal with instead. As my James Taylor hating Dad always said, 'There's no fool like an old fool'.
