[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 699092, member: 2072"] Here is an excerpt from "Beneath the Pinnacles of Azor'alq", Chapter 101, detailing the difficulties in surmounting the language barrier. ---------------------------------------- The actions of the sea turtle having drawn attention to their location, the party soon finds themselves in the company of six sea elven sentinels. Comprised of three men and three women, the band of elves encircles the party, holding spears at the ready. "Who are you, to have slain such a beast as this?" he gestures, pointing to the remains of the gulper eel construct "I am called Malc. These waters are the home of my people." Swimming towards the massive teeth of the obliterated construct, Malc admires the integrity of the shimmering metal. Spying the tarnished silver casket, the sea elf turns swiftly to face Rimus. "Drylander?" he speaks in the language of Those Above. "Human, are you not?" he repeats, this time in Dramidji, aquan dialect of the Dramidj. Her attention solely upon the sleeping sea turtle, a female scout shouts to her commander. "Malc! Dire blood!" she exclaims in elven. Swiftly, the remaining sea elves swim to her side, save for Malc, who now eyes the party warily. "Nay. It is of fiendish origin" a second female adds "Best to slay it while it sleeps. It is of no use to us." "Stay your tongue, Peri." Malc orders in elven, before turning to face the party once more. Speaking in Dramidji, he asks "Who among you is leader? I would propose a trade, for the shell of that creature." ---------------------------------------- BPAA is up to Chapter 104, this week. Rimus, btw, speaks ancient Baklunish, albeit in the form it was spoken three thousand years in the past (he has been asleep for a long long time) [/QUOTE]
