Weellll .. . . . Is this guy a lycanthrope? I'm skilled in telling such, you know. If he is, then ignore the below text 'cuz I'm going right to initiative.
But if he isn't, I vote talkin', first. I'll give it a shot - back me up, you CHAers, hey?
"Your majesty, there's a tavern owner who can't get into his basement because of your subjects. He asked us to allow him to access his wares, which your . . . ummm . . . subjects have overrun. Can we work out some sort of agreement? I feel confident that your numbers could overwhelm us, but we would cause some small amount of damage to these . . . .ummm . .. subjects of yours - and if we fall, more like us would come, with more trouble for all concerned."
"Is there some sort of equitable solution to this problem? Your highness is, I am sure, more versed in such matters than such as us, but perhaps some negotiations would be beneficial to your realm."
I'm really reaching here, y'all, and that's pretty much tapped me out of the talking and politeness.
