Chandar

"I do belive we have announced ourslef" Michael says....."Form up gentlemen...Guiesspippe you in your squad from up front with shields planted for cover..The ogiers to the side and rear with raized shields" This will form a turtle with overhead protection. Michael will then use "Entropic Warding" to foil the shots directed at the area..."Please announce us Grond"

At which point Grond will boom in his voice. "Captain Storm requests an audience with High Chief (insert his name) and not that of poorly trained doorwardens. Gifts he brings to honor the High Chief"

 

[Scotley]

Greetings

A few bolts rattle off shields, finally an upper window opens and a lordly sounding lizard man shouts, "who dares violate the sanctity of my home in the middle of the night?"

 

[J. Alexander]

Chandar

"Captain Storm of the Retribution...I can see by you preparation that your door wardens have failed to inform you of our arrival and that of your daughter. I sent envoys over an hour ago to inform you of our arrival with gifts and found your gates barred an no one authority to greet us. Pardon if my overeaction of displeasuer distribued your sleep""

 

[Scotley]

"Correct me if I'm wrong Captain, but is it not the host's responsibility to decide when visitors will be received rather than the visitor? If you've brought naught but blasts and battering rams as gifts I shall be mightily displeased." At this Fa'Duatha steps forward and removes her cowl. "Of father open the door and talk to the Captain." The window slams and shouts and activity can be heard within. Soon the door opens and a some sort of lizardman functionary steps out. "Captain, you and your officers are welcome, but I fear we have no seating for your other 'men'. He says the last casting his eyes with distain at the Ogres who seem quite distrught that there will be no plunder this evening.

Michael will smile at the functionairy.."I would be delighted to but do you truly wish for me to leave them here when I am the only one who control's them...such terrible accidents and misunderstandins could occur" Then smiling Michael adds besides they are carrying gifts which to really be appreciated must be seen in s equence" Gesturing towards the shields.."Once we have exchanged the gifts etc, my word that they will leave"

 

[Scotley]

Clearly not crazy about the idea, the chamberlin lets you in and guides you to the chief's hall. It is a roughly oval room framed in heavy timber with thick tapestries decorating the walls. A fire has been started in the large hearth. The furniture, a long tresel table with benches down the side and two simple side boards, is plain and rough looking, but functional. The chief's chair is a large chair with a few simple carvings of tobacco leaves and a red velvet cusion. He sits flanked by a pair of advisors a frown on his face.

Chandar

Walking into the room with an air of relaxed confidence and a pleaseant expression showing no harmful intent Michael will motion for the Guiesspe to take one squad to the right wall and Grond the other to the left wall and have the guards stand more or less shield to shield so as to show the hunting scenes enamled upon them. Michael will then lead the priestess and the princess towards the High Cheif "I deeply appreciate you receiving us in the timely manner sir..if i could beg the indulgence of having the Col of my Marines present, Col. Chandar, we could resolve this unhappy situation to the mutal benefit of us both." Slowly reachin into his tunic Michael will produce a pouch of fine pearls. Placing them on the table he will say.."This is just the first guest gift i present in front of you nobel chief"

 

[Scotley]

The fellows obvious distain fades as he practically drools on the pearls. "Oh very well, we may as well trot him out and sort this all out. Daughter I think you should go upstairs to your room." He nods to one of his advisors who sends a man to fetch Chandar.

'If i could ask the boon of a few cups, we can sampel this excellent wine while we wait and perhaps while we wait we could discuss a few business matters" Michael says while producing a very nice wine say a 50gp bottel. " I belive six cups will do..that will be one for the priestess and her acoloyte who are my counselors, Col. Chandar. and then your couselors"

 

[Scotley]

"Acolyte? Counselor? Who, my daughter? I think not. Does she give you better counsel than she seems to give herself?" He chuckles, a strange somewhat disquiting reptilian sound. "But I'm curious to see this dog and pony show." He motions to his man who passes the order and a steward in a white jacket, seeming out of place in this rustic setting, produces glasses.
