[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1198644, member: 259"] :D The technique we used was something like this: "Hello, Mr. Hill Giant! Any sudden moves, and we'll scatter your entrails about these halls with our scary death-magic. Here's a cartful of watermelons for you to eat -- we hear you like them. We'll talk while you eat. "Remember all that commotion yesterday, when the alarm was raised, and by the time you got to the compound entrance, two-thirds of the miliia was gorily dead, including your ogre mage captain, the wizards riding dinosaurs, the two ettins, and a host of puny mortals? Remember how by the time you got there, the killers were already gone? "You're looking at those killers now. But we're not bad folk. Yesterday we didn't get a chance to ask folks to surrender, but today we've got the chance. "So here's the deal. You finish off those watermelons, and then you show us around the compound. You'll want to move real slow while you do this, unless you want us to burn you alive like we did the ettin. You'll show us the treasure, you'll show us any traps you know about. And you'll tell any other mercenaries in the compound that it's time to leave. "You do all that, and we'll give you another cartload of melons, and we'll give you some shiny silver coins. And then you leave, and we never see you again, and we never hear about you hurting another human or dwarf or elf or halfling or gnome, or else we use our magics to find you and chop off your head and spill your blood, like we did the dinosaurs. "What do you say? Do you want to live, or do you want to die right now?" It worked pretty well :). Daniel [/QUOTE]
