[IC] Stealthy Missions: Prologue

[Dalamar]

"What might be hard?"
James comes out of the underbrush behind the others.

 

[Inez Hull]

"Takin' out some orcs an' an ogre", Orland grins back at James.

"How 'bout I creep round the side there an' get behind the ogre an' put a bolt in its back? You all get yer bows ready an' shoot the orcs after I get things started. Then we all move in an' mop up. Easy as, an' then we're one boat better than we are right now."

 

[Xael]

"Sounds good to me except that I don't have a bow." He then draws a dagger from his boot and sighs. "Oh well..."

 

[Dalamar]

"Why don't you let me try talking to them? I'm pretty good with that kind of stuff."

 

[Inez Hull]

"If you want to. I've found that orcs 'aint much the conversationalists though. You try your thing, an' we'll bail ya out if we have to. Jus' give us a few minutes to get into place OK?"

 

[Xael]

The tail-man frowns. "Hey, I'm the diplomat here, and even I've got standards. Besides, do you even know orcish?

 

[Dalamar]

"No, but I doubt the ogre does either."
James closes his eyes and mutters a few words and soon his form shimmers and gets replaced with an orc's.
"So get to your places already."

 

[Inez Hull]

"Good day to you sir orc," Orland doffs his hat and when he replaces it he too has the appearance of an orc. "I'll leave the talking to you, but if it comes to battle, an extra orc will help confuse things further." With that he looks at Timothy and the tail man with a wry (and toothy) smile, "Just remeber which orcs are which, right?"

Orland then pads off to a suitable ambush point for firing on the Ogre and settles in to listen and wait.

 

[Xael]

Orland easily gets to the forest behind the ogre and waits. The orcs and ogre seem to be finally compromising the sharing of food, as the shouting is getting a little quieter.

OOC: Waiting for Timothy.

 

[Timothy]

OOC: I'm back! I only speak common. I left a message in TtT about being away.

IC: "Hah, you just remember who you really are. But we'll be waiting in the bushes if you need us, and although I firmly believe in diplmacy, you'll need us here..."

Timothy will then go off in to the bushes (MS and Hide) and walks to a place two meters away from Orland, saying something as he passes him by.

"Flank the ogre first, but wait to see if the other is ready."

OOC: Ready an action to move out of the bushes at the first sign of hostilities, and then wait for Orlandto charge the ogre and charge along with him.
