Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

"Well, you certainly have our attention now," says Brae. "Do you know where this band of raiders lairs per chance? A ranger such as yourself surely keeps track of their comings and goings, do you not?"

Carolton Drueglefish

"And what tribe are they my friend?" asks Jonas
"Ah, but you see, My Brother, they are not a tribe. Rather, they are a collection of outcasts from many tribes who have found each other and banded together, so, I guess, in a sense, they are their own tribe, but, to my knowledge they do not have a name for themselves. There are at least a few individuals among them who have come from most of the known tribes in this region."

"Orcs are tribal creatures, craving the sense of inclusion and identity created by and reinforced by the tribe. Additionally, orcs will set about bickering without a strong leader. Without a dominant figure, the orcs could not show the direction or dedication to consistently target the same route, much less the same specific merchant. So that makes me question the veracity of your story and thus either your honesty or credibility, my brother." replies Jonas casually as he pets Bruno's head.
 

Darius nods in agreement with Jonas. [highlight]"But you did mention a ranger 'of no mean skill'. What can you tell us about him?"[/highlight]
 

Carolton Drueglefish

Drueglefish stands up staight at Jonas's words, puts down his fising pole, and puts his hands on his hips. "Now see here, wee laddie, I'll not be talked to in that fashion by you, Constable or no! Why, I was a skilled Ranger before you were even the least twinkle! I have told you only what I have seen with my own eyes, and learned from careful observation over several months. An ye trust me not, there sits the road before ye, he points off in the direction where the road lies, "make yer own bloody observations! And now, if ye please, I have some serious fishing to do, so good day, gentlemen!" Then, looking at Darius he says, "If my opinion is not valued, then I'll say no more about it!" At this point, Carolton Drueglefish emphatically turns his back on you and resumes fishing.

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru's eyes go wide as he whispers, "And I thought I'd always be the one making the worst faux pas."

Sitting gingerly next to his mentor, the wizard whispers, "Sorry for the intrusion, professor, but we're on a case. I don't suppose you know this man well enough to help us smooth things over for my companion's unintentional slight?"
 

Brae sighs and stands. "Please, gentlemen, let us be civil with one another. Please do not take offense at Constable Kewiczak's words, Master Drueglefish. We are most appreciative of any help or insight that you can provide us in this matter. You certainly know the goings on outside of the city better than any of us."


Diplomacy +10 as needed
 

[sblock=jkason/Moru]Professor Berfubble smiles knowingly and says, "Just you give him a day to cool off, and things will probably be okay. Carolton always was the sensitive type....."[/sblock]

[sblock=Rhun/Brae, OOC]You're welcome to give us a diplomacy check if you want. You sense, however, that you'll be fighting an uphill battle if you do so. (pretty significant circumstance penalty on the roll, but, who knows, maybe you've got enough skill to overcome that? On the other hand, you have a sense that if you fail, you will turn a bad situation into a positively horrendous one. But, it's all up to you....;) )[/sblock]
