Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 3081067" data-attributes="member: 4441">Captain Merri has heard many of Nissa's speeches over the last week, and her compassionate and kindly nature is very well known.  He heaves the Khora Aisa to and presents her side to the rowboat.  The more alert of the group begins to speak, "Yes, we could really-"  At the same time Ekilu leaps into the water and begins swimming, rope in hand.  The rope on the Khora Aisa is light as air, so it's extremely easy to do.  Trey's eyes are watchful and ever-ready for danger and violence, but the people on the boat seem passive and quiet... for now.  Minnow moves up next to you, his massive frame causing a partial eclipse of the sun, his hand on his cutlass.  Like others on the crew, he's ready to defend the ship at a moment's notice, and seems to trust that Trey will give the signal if he spots danger first.After a few moment's thought, the bejeweled blink dog appears on the bow opposite Vaukriel, and the crew swings around to look at him.  Indefinite menace seems to radiate from the hound, enough to know that he's dangerous, and that attempting violence would be a mistake, but not enough to cause a mass aquatic exodus.  The leader snaps his mouth shut as more and more people begin to appear around his boat, his eyes wide with surprise and fear.  Lupaz: [sblock]When you attempt to demoralize the crew of the tiny boat, they seem curiously unmoved by your daunting presence.  Only one, the one that was curled up the tightest, begins to tremble with fear and uncertainty.  Not that they're not wary and afraid already, but the extra edge of fear and nervousness you're used to inspiring is simply not there.OOC: I rolled a lot of high saves for your Daunting Presence, it was really weird.  You got a 25 on your Intimidate check.  As for your knowledge of these people, their general type and way of dress is not native to Bluegorge or the surrounding area.  However, you do remember seeing a few traders that looked like this.  They had a shady reputation, and it was known that you never fight them, because they fight dirty.  Your luck roll for today is: The next time you would be dropped to negatives, you instead roll with the damage and are left with 1 hit point.[/sblock]  Nissa exclaimation, as well as her winning manner and soothing gestures and words seems to thaw the fearful crew, and the leader starts to find his voice again as Nissa coaxes him gently.  But at that exact moment Ekilu arrives, and a few moments after him, Oobobooboo, floating on the salty current.Nissa: [sblock]You got a 44 on your Diplomacy check.  Natural 20 baby![/sblock]  The leader opens and closes his mouth twice, apparently attempting to find the right words (and fighting open amazement at the pink talking blob... that's strange even for the Endless Falls!).  As Ekilu smartly wraps the rope around the boat, he finally begins to speak."Ah... yes, I'm Coron.  We could really use a place to dry off... please.  Tema hasn't stopped shivering since we escaped and we haven't had much chance to eat in a long while," he gets out, pointing to the young woman curled up in the bottom of the boat.  "You're very kind to offer such words to strangers, Lady of the Sea," he adds galantly to Nissa, bowing a little to her, seeming to have picked her out as the leader of the group</blockquote>
