Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

[Keia]

Upon Awaking, Marcus will ask Theryndil to position him somewhere defensible, preferably with his back to a tree trunk or something. He will then listen for the approach and discussion of the group.

Marcus will pad himself down, making sure everything is in place and he will remove Cramp and carry it casually in one hand (leaving the other ready for daggers or to grip Cramp properly, as the situation dictates).

Shaking off the effects of sleep, Erenal moves into a position opposite Amanu, and awaits the arrival of their..."guests".

*clatter of dice* Theryndil spots three dwarves trudging through the jungle undergrowth. One female leads the way, heavy crossbow in her arms. Another female and a male dwarf follow behind, carrying a large stick strapped with several animal carcasses. All three wear heavy armor, and all three appear to be very similar, down to the same hair color and beard style. Theryndil sees a few items on the hindmost female that appear to be holy symbols.

While the dwarves are approaching, Zoya and Yegor look to Arramor for some guidance, then move to stand next to Morella.

The three dwarves tromp by Theryndil, still singing the drinking song. They emerge from the growth surrounding the outcropping and spot the rest of Delta Squad, the ogres, and the halfling. The song ends abruptly as they halt, then the lead female steps forward. She speaks to Arramor, "What's this then? More puppets come to hunt?"

"Not quite, Mistress. We are here to let you know that apparently, your guide has tricked you into an expedition on this world, which has been expressly quarantined by joint Treaty by the Elvish and Yuan-Ti empires."

Therndil waits in an opportune spot, still invisible, and will hold to reveal his presence until/if hostilities break out.

If hostilities break out, that revealing will come in the form of an arrow to the cleric.

Standing next to Amanu, Erenal hopes that Arramor can get us out of this without a fight. If not...he isn't sure what will happen, as he is still weak from poison.

OOC ---> I'm the 6 Con front line fighter! Whee!

"Now isn't that a shame," the dwarves' leader replies. "There's good eats here, too. Haworth swore an oath, he did, that he had acquired permission for the trip. Thought I was a good judge of character, but perhaps I was mistaken."

She takes a close look at assembled people, and continues, "I'm guessing you had a bit of trouble with Stepan, then. Why else would you bring a blind man and a near cripple on yer mission? Irati, I'm thinking these folk could use your help." The cleric looks at the leader, then nods.

The leader catches Arramor's eye. "Right. I'm guessing you want us to return to the ship all peaceable and leave the planet. I'm willing to cooperate provided we can keep what we've already killed. And ya let us hang on to our weapons, same as the bigguns. In return, my girl will see about helping yer hurts and we'll share some of meat wid ya. Like I said, it's good eats."

"I find your terms reasonable and fair, as I would expect from any dwarf. I appreciate any aid you can spare my men, and would be honored to break bread with you."

Muttering a quick prayer of thanks to St. Cuthbert, Erenal relaxes as the tension in the area drops. "I know that I'd be glad for any assistance you might render, and I'm sure Marcus will be as well. Of course some food sounds good too!"

 

[perivas]

At the mention of "sharing meat", an expression of disgust appears on Amanu's face. He pinches close his nose, gets up and walks away from the dwarves as they approach. Amanu looks for a spot upwind of the general camp to keep the greasy odor away. If necessary, due to a lack of wind, he'll move far away from the others.
