[Pathfinder] The Fog of War

In Which Piedra Demonstrates his Diplomacy Skills

Piedra was just about to speak when Mellisande made her "Good in bed" comment, at which point he burst out laughing instead. "Ha Ha Ha. Good in bed. That's a good one. Ha Ha Ha" After about 10 second, he manage to get himself back under control and tries to take a slurp of his tea, only to find his cup is empty. "I don't care what Mellisande says, this tea is not too bad. Although you could probably improve it with a touch of mint. Is it OK to have another cup?" Without waiting for the answer, Piedra pours himself another cup of tea and sits quietly sipping it.

Jon pours himself a cup of the pine needle tea as well, and sips it.

"Very well, we'll help. So, Rev, what god do the Nazis worship? And do you know how we got here ... or if we can go home?"
 

Tevye says, "They worship power and race. Everything they do is aimed at acquiring the first and destroying threats to the second. That much I know. I do not know about how to return you to your home."
 

"I wonder... I wonder if the nazis who killed the miners came back here or ... could they still be wandering around the woods near Feldspar?" He frowns. Then rubs the pointed tip of his ear thoughtfully. "Wait. I don't understand something. You said they're concerned about race? But you and they look like perfectly normal humans to me, why were they about to kill their fellow humans? In fact I haven't seen anything but humans since we got here."
 

"And you're not likely to see anyone other than humans," Tevye says. "In this world, we are all humans, created by the Lord. But the Nazis reject this truth in favor of a lie that exalts the fiction that only so-called Aryans deserve to rule. My own people occupy a special place in the Nazi schema. They say we are subhumans, fit only for slavery and then death."
 

"So even though there's only one race, they pretend there's more than one, just so they can fight?"

Mellisande shakes her head. "And they say gnomes are strange."

"But if there's nothing but humans here, you sure don't seem too surprised to see us."
 

Tevye grins. "I should be surprised, but I'm not. My dreams showed you clearly. I thought your appearances were perhaps symbolic, but obviously not." He finishes his tea and stands. "Well, if there is nothing else, we must make preparations to leave tomorrow. Things must be packed. I'll need a change of clothes and a shave and a haircut. Joseph can show you how to use pistols and rifles as well. We've much to do."
 

Sam glances at the cup of pie needle tea. "I can see times are hard here. War always is I suppose. It's not much, but in the morning, any supplies you have that may have gone bad or putrified I'll be able to restore to good condition. I'm afraid it's the most I can do for now."
 

Once its clear that the meeting is over, Piedra stands and makes for the door calling out "Good night sir." over his shoulder.

Without waiting for the others, Piedra walks over to Joseph's cave and tried to find Joseph. Once he finds him he says "Rav Tevye says you can teach us how to use the magic crossbows. Any chance of doing it now."
 

Mellisande nods sagely and steps back. "All right then. I'll help! Just tell me what to do! As long as it's not lifting things...or carrying them. Or running a lot. Or...doing anything yucky, like dishes or chamberpots. But other than that, anything goes!"

She plants her fists jauntily on her hips, clearly very pleased with how helpful she is.
