[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8184332, member: 59816"] I guess I should point out - I was not necessarily trying to provoke the Sticks into a fight, and you don't have to fight them just because I posted a combat-starter. I just wanted to make sure it was an option, and drop into rounds-timing, because it's important for what might happen to Harb (plus we play fast-and-loose with the turn sequence in Exploration Mode, and I want to make sure that everyone has a chance to decide what they want to do here). It's true that a Red Wizard is a sizable threat. This could get ugly. But story-wise, I just wanted to establish that they're bullies, and used to getting their own way. They're not raving maniacs, though, and it's still possible to negotiate with them, should you want to go that way. The only problem with that tactic is that they will probably not go for any deal that isn't better for them than it is for you. (Or to put it simply: You can fight them, or you can buy them off - you just have to figure out a price that you're willing to pay.) [/QUOTE]
