Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/The Looming Monster Invasion

Upon returning to your estate, troubling news comes your way. Several refugees who were working at a distance from their residences have gone missing, along with the search parties sent to locate them. Concerned for their safety, your vigilantes are dispatched to investigate, only to encounter not the missing individuals, but a horde of monsters. The monsters' unexpected presence so far from the eastern border regions alarms your vigilant protectors.

In their efforts to secure the safety of your estate, the vigilantes manage to dispatch the initial group of monsters. However, as they delve deeper into their mission, it becomes evident that the situation is far graver than anticipated. Disturbingly, the monsters seem to be part of a larger invasion. A messenger arrives from your liege, confirming the fears—the eastern border defenses have crumbled, and a monstrous horde is advancing towards your realm.

However, you face a financial constraint, making hiring professional soldiers an impractical option. A difficult decision looms ahead. Should you bolster the ranks of vigilantes, sacrificing lives to pre-emptively clear the monsters before they reach your estate? Or, perhaps fortify your estate's center and fight from behind the safety of your walls, although it will impact production as people can't work the fields? Alternatively, can you rally support from neighboring estates to stand united against this encroaching threat and share the burden of defense? The choices you make now will profoundly impact the fate of your estate and its people.

Outcome: Fortifying Against the Monster Invasion

As the looming monster invasion approaches, you make the strategic decision to fortify your estate and prepare for a defensive stand behind the walls. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, you allow refugees to seek shelter within the fortified center of your estate, even though some of your local residents express discontent with sharing their homes. To bolster your defenses, you arm able-bodied men to serve as vigilantes in the upcoming battle.

While tensions rise among your locals due to the influx of refugees, you understand that having more people to defend against the impending monster invasion is crucial. With each passing week, the number of monsters from the east steadily increases, and you brace yourself for the imminent arrival of the first wave of the invasion. Your hope is that your preparations will prove effective in the face of this dire threat.
