>fortress. Meanwhile, your supplies are running low. The enemy commander has 
>requested a parlay to entreat you to surrender before he is forced to 
>starve you into submission. You have been commanded by your lord to prepare 
>a dinner for the parlay. You are charged (on short notice) with using what 
>meager supplies you have to fool the enemy into thinking you can hold out 
>indefinitely. In truth, you hope to hold out until your allies can break 
>through with the desperately needed supplies.
