[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9717897, member: 7023840"] Shamal went to the center of the area, a smile bright as the desert sun lighting up his face and his eyes alight with playfulness. [I]Truly, there is not that much different when it comes to tribes.[/I] He waits patiently, until his still form begins to gather the attention of the kobolds. Then he produces the long curved horn of the oryx, and blows a haunting battle cry on it so that the crowd stills and all eyes are upon him. [B]Habibi! Brothers! [/B]Shamal waits, letting Merrick translate for him. [B]Let me offer our swords .... [/B]he pauses briefly [B]... and our tribute to you, our friends! [/B]He sweeps his arms around to the barrel of food, laughing. [B]Now, let me tell you a story of the evil that was inflicted upon you by the Betrayers...[/B] Shamal stops. He looks around, making eye contact with as many of the kobolds as possible, letting the possibilities of what is to come linger .... [B]First, there were the noble kobolds. The tribe of the earth. [/B]With this, the sands begin to swirl around him, forming diffuse images resembling kobolds raising swords and cheering. [B]They were the blessed people, for they served the Dragon Who Shall Rule All, the Mighty Dretchoroyaster! [/B]Now, the fire in the firepit begins to rise, taking the shape of a mighty and fearsome dragon breathing flames. [B]Together, the blessed people and Dretchoroyaster would unleash the Great Destruction on all those who sought to oppose you. [/B]The sand and the fire began to mix in a swirling and beautiful pattern. [B]But then? [/B]Shamal stops while the sand and fire swirl, seeking out the eyes of the kobolds again, waiting. After a short while, Shamal lowers his gaze and starts shaking his head sadly. [B]Then came ... the Betrayers. First, they parted the blessed people from the Dragon Who Shall Rule All. [/B]The sand that swirled around with the fire separated back out. Shamal lifted his face up and looked at the kobolds, his once happy visage replaced with stern anger as his voice boomed out forcefully. [B]AND THEN THE BETRAYERS SOUGHT TO DESTROY ALL OF YOU! [/B]Water came from nowhere, putting out the fire and turning the sand into mud. [B]But we will not let that happen! [/B]Shamal begins to sway rhythmically, as bells ring out. At the same time, the fire begins to roar again. [B]Come, my brothers, and join me in the battle dance of my people, as I pledge that you will take back what is yours! [/B]Shamal lifts one sword up and begins beating out a rhythm with the mirwas, shouting out war cries while grabbing kobolds and showing them how to express their hatred of the Betrayers. [OOC] Let's see; uses of elementalism (earth, fire, water) Getting some shock and awe in there to get advantage on performance [URL='http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=299011']Performance: 1D20+5 = [5]+5 = 10[/URL] [URL='http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=299011']1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22[/URL] BTW, this is just straight performance without adding proficiency in instrument.
