Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neurotic" data-source="post: 8590098" data-attributes="member: 24380">"That explains the emotions. If she is a pacifist no wonder she doesn't like me." mumbles Maur to himselfAs the voices keep raising he raises his own"Qi spoke to me earlier I wanted to tell you once we were alone, I couldn't understand her. Cruel Justice, calm down, you're NOT helping your cause. Now sit down, shut up, and listen!"He stands up from the chair and points toward the former cultist"You cannot expect us to just give you the weapons. Yes, they may be dangerous. Yes, they are alien in mind and purpose. But you're describing the catastrophe brought by an ogre chief and now by a deranged ghast cultist. You cannot think they wouldn't bring havoc even without The Arms. And given that Qi seems to be one for the peace and is literally the only one NOT a weapon, there is no reason to think they are anything but powerful items with a strange purpose. those things are dangerous, but in all of our travels, we have yet to encounter more powerful forces for good. Vok taking them...sure...and what will he do with them? Bring more disorder to the hells? By all means. Except again, Qi would be tortured there which is not something we need or want for ANYBODY."At that last pronounced word, he turns toward Quinn slamming the gauntleted fist onto the table.

But you need someone to wield you. So don't push it. We're not some country bumpkins you can just push around. We could just give you to the first dragon coming our way. The same goes for all of you. Azurak, Kang and Qi. You didn't yet speak, but I'm fairly sure you can listen. Even adamantine things and adamantine personages can be killed or destroyed, just much harder than we mortals. Instead of threatening you all or having to worry about you betraying us for some easier bearer why don't we agree to cooperate as a group? Qi will be safe and unused in combat. She can choose to help. Or not. I wouldn't force a priestess to heal me, I wouldn't force a commoner to provide shelter for me so I will not force anyone to do anything."...his formidable will turns away from Qi and the pressure on her psyche eases..."But if you want to stay together, you need to start thinking more about the group that wields you and less about yourselves. I believe Aries believe what he's saying. Not that he is right, but he believes what has been said to him. So...let's have it out right now. Do we fight one against another and you get separated...AGAIN! or you work with us.""Quinn! Sheath the blade. You are the famous gladiator. You know how to hold composure under pressure."[OOC] aid another for the save? [/OOC]<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=258609" target="_blank">Will save vs Qi: 1D20+16 = [18]+16 = 34</a> add 1 if she's evil, add 1 more if the effect is supernatural or she is an outsiderHe pauses to see what happens, his chest heaving, his arm on the hammer on his hip. If no combat erupts Maur sits down with a huff. "Look what you made me do. I don't hold speeches. And I am probably overheard by half the monsters in the badlands." He pours himself more wine, pulls out Qi "You will be better heard this way. I'm sorry for not being an ideal wielder, but you will have to bear with me for a moment."[OOC] <a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=258611" target="_blank">Diplomacy: 1D20+8 = [6]+8 = 14</a> [/OOC]</blockquote>
