[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

[takew]

OOC: We are gone from 01-02-03 till 08-02-03... We should be able to answer once or twice. Maybe even every day…

Tristan moves towards the rangers so that he can talk to them without the minotaurs to hear him. He says: “I suggest we run for it. For I don’t know how they fight and if we can defeat them. And by the looks of it aren’t they the negotiating type… I for one have never battled their species before… And if we come out of this alive, you may explain to me why we just didn’t hide??”

OOC: We all have a great hide don't we?(+modifier) Isn't that the reason we went in the first place? Our outdoor abilities?

 

[Sullaf]

OOC: Well the lot of you kinda messed the hide up the moment Ilan stood up and spoke to the Minotaurs imho, although Ron may rule that you and patrick still deserve some bonusses. After all it is a dense forest and they may not have seen you

And we're talking, and talking and ... talking even.

OOC: Why shouldn't Roland last another week? Wearing full plate doesn't really make him the silent moving type so stfu or I'll kill you when you're away... Golden rule: if you are not present, you die

 

[Ilan]

OOC: Am away for the weekend, no internet

"you guys can go if you like, I wanty some bloody info. It's not even sure they attacked the moneytrain."

I watch the Minotaurs carefully and if they make an offensive action, one of them goes down.

"Follow me to my campsite then"I say to the Minotaurs.

 

[Ravellion]

[Ilan, Which language are you using?]

 

[Ilan]

OOC: In merchant tongue

"WHAHAHAHA foul demon away get"

OOC: That was also out of character just wanted to try out merchant tongue

 

[Ravellion]

"Forest own by Elf? Never Minotaur Elf seen before! Explain!" The minotaur bellows.

 

[Ilan]

"Elves at home every forest, I smile, can we talk??? I question for you. You speak Elven??? Other language???

 

[Ravellion]

"Giant Minotaur Speak. Forest Minotaur. Not Elf. Humans too forest. Humans pay gold for be close to forest and Minotaur home. Get gold we do soon. Elf forest home, Elf pay gold."

The minotaur is nearly twice your size and approximately 20 feet away from you. The other minotaurs are scattered about at 20 -40 feet.

 

[Ilan]

"I play along, how much gold you want. And stop now with walking. I pay for information."

Where is patrick???And do I see Tristan???

I ready myself for a charge attempt of the Minotaur.

OOC: What is your correct email, have three now

 

[Ravellion]

Since I don't recall anyone saying "I try to hide", Patrick and Tristan are still by you. Within 10 feet.

"You pay... 100 gold. For Elf. Humans live human home? Humans pay later."

[Email: I now mainly use the lycos one, checking the others about once a week till I can do away with them - part of the reason of the change was simplification]
