[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6382552, member: 6775039"] Ok. In order: * I'll politely acknowledge Terilion with a nod of thanks for securing us a seat. * I'll listen to the men flatly, and too brusquely, state their positions. Hopefully it was a bit more congenial before I arrived. * When Esmer brings up the World Serpent's "blessing", I'll say nothing but I'll watch him closely (Insight + 9. Rolled 8. 17 exceeds medium DC) for any sign that betrays if he means literally in this world or in the spirit world. After a moment to chew on it, I'll simply say "very well". * I'll address the men. "The natural order bids all things to leverage their strength and their wiles to claim territorial rights. Yamel is right. Neither the lycanthropes nor the Rotting Man cares for your settlement's sovereignty. They care even less to your right of rulership Esmer. You must always fight to keep what is yours. It is the just the way of things." I'll wait a moment and let them digest that. I'll look to Terilion in hopes that he supports what I have said. Then I will continue. "However...I have a stake in this. I need those children safe, and safe is not on this perilous mountain, fraught with enemies on all sides. As before, I will be your champion. I will fight with Yamel and his huntsman to maintain your sovereignty. All I ask in return is a blessing for all of us who will do battle from 'He Who Sees Without Sight'. And I ask that you fairly consider a lasting alliance with these men. You are a man of reason. Surely you can see that abandoning these men to their fate will only earn you more enemies. Surely you can see that being allied with able huntsman who know these mountains can be nothing but a boon for your people. And most importantly to me, to the children you have taken in and to Terilion and his daughter." * Just an fyi - when we're finished, I would like to say a final goodbye to the children. And when I give Terilion the charms, I would ask the he personally look after them. [/QUOTE]
