-- [X] Inform the town further of the following terms:
- [X] Charge (if they don't comply)
- [X] Vae Victis (if they don't comply)
- [X] Loot most of the town's wealth, leaving some few funds and the most hidden valuables behind. They will not be destitute, but they certainly won't be rich, either.
- [X] An Open Hand
- [X] You decide to launch an attack on Aeclanum, preparing the cohort to strike at a well-defended position. This, while not a true siege -- as Aeclanum has no walls worth mentioning -- will still be a battle of some note, your first such should you choose to strike.
[X] plan this deal is getting worse all the time [X] Accept Spurio's offer, and have him leave the defenses of the town unmanned one night, allowing for your forces to attack unseen, and perhaps even take the town bloodlessly. [X] Sneak

-[X] Vae Victis
[X] Plan Divide et Impera
-[X] Accept Spurio's offer, and have him and his soldiers simply sneak out of town one night, reducing the forces in the town by a good fifty men.
--[X] Offer him only 6 talents, a tenth of our wealth. He isn't taking the same risk so he doesn't get the same reward.
--[X] If Spurio rejects your offer or doesn't leave, tell the defenders about his offer.
--[X] After Spurio's desertion or rejection of our proposal, offer the town one last chance to surrender and guarantee that everyone with the exception of the ringleaders will be spared. If they don't take you up on your generous offer, the consequences will be most dire. Rome doesn't tolerate defiance twice. If they surrender, enslave them all.

-[X] Vae Victis
--[X] Leave at least few alive and free in order to spread the word about the town's fate.
