"Before we revive him," he says, nodding toward the orc, "there are a few things I'd like to make clear.""I don't fault you for your attempt," he says, clearly measuring his words carefully. "I asked that you be sure that you were capable of what you offered, and you proved yourselves so, to all points which could be anticipated. You... I don't consider any of you negligent, for having made the attempt, is what I'm trying to say."He stiffens, trying to collect his thoughts again."The young lady's safety was the most important thing, to be certain, but it was not all that was at sake. Had we met their demands, the orcs would be back again next year, if not sooner, with more of the same... At the very least, you've sent a clear message that such methods will not be successful, not in Emmethrach. And that is a good thing." He nods his head slowly, casting his eyes downward. "It is a sad thing to lose the girl, but leave knowing you have done good for these people."He then moves over to the orc, kneeling over his unconscious frame."Now, shall we see what this one has to say?" he asks, clearly prepared to adminster healing once consent is given.(OOC: Totally unrelated, and not something you're apt to have use for at the moment, but I finished the <a href="http://www.rowf.net/trust/tourne.png" target="_blank">map of Tourne</a> and wanted to show it off.)</blockquote>
