  1. Catch up with VladimirDay & Night

    I should talk to Vladimir and see where we stand.

  2. Teach Vladimir a lessonDay & Night

    Vladimir didn't really want to listen to my arguments – perhaps my fists will be more convincing.

  3. Decide whether to help VladimirDay & Night

    Vladimir was badmouthing Drogos behind his back and some other manumits didn't take kindly to that. I could help Vlad out, or let them teach him a lesson.

  4. Help VladimirDay & Night

    Maybe Vlad deserves a bit of a thrashing – but I've still decided to help him out. Which means a fistfight against a few manumits...

  5. Let the rebels beat up VladimirDay & Night

    I think a bit of a thrashing should do Vlad good – I've decided to allow the manumits to teach him a lesson.
