[Creamsteak]

Languages: Common, Draconic, Quor, Riedran

OOC: I'll make a diplomacy check using Draconic here. Hope it conveys. Diplomacy Check. (1d20+13=29)

Drekhad speaks in the draconic tongue first, attempting to greet the lizardfolk. "Noble and grand people of this wild land, I great you. This humble and lowly wretch begs your pardon for walking across your most sacred territory. We are a humble and small group of travellers, making a wayward journey across this most holy land. We inferior and simple people do not seek to interfere in your realm. We seek to only to pass."

"My name is Drekhad, and I am but a humble pilgrim on a journey to bring light and knowledge to the world."

[Redclaw]

The lizardfolk closest to you looks startled as you begin to speech, then he seems to relax, listening to your humble speech. We not want trouble from softskins, and not have problem with them travel here.

He pauses for a moment as you finish your overture, then nods and gives a reptilian smile. Convinced that the encounter will not turn ugly, he turns to his companions. This good place to check hurts. How bad they be?

One of the others quickly checks some of his companions and replies, Not bad. They be fine with time.

All of the lizardfolk move aside to leave you enough room to pass.

 

[Creamsteak]

In common, to the group, "Well they seem friendly enough. Some of them are hurt, I guess. I'm ready to move on when the rest of you are."

Obligatory delay till the rest of the party is satisfied.

 

[Zurai]

Alexa grins at Drekhad and says, "I knew there was a reason we keep you around! I don't know whatever language that was; maybe you should ask what injured them, in case there's some danger up ahead?"

 

[Creamsteak]

In response, "Draconic. The language of the Dragons. I assumed that they might understand that much. I'll ask for you."

He turns back to the Lizardfolk group leader. Draconic again, "My friend here asks the small question, what caused your glorious compatriots harm? We mean no offense or desire to do you harm in this simple question. I only ask out of compassion to your wounded kin."

Bregan moves 15ft down the trail, staying alert to what all is around him.

[Redclaw]

He turns back to the Lizardfolk group leader. Draconic again, "My friend here asks the small question, what caused your glorious compatriots harm? We mean no offense or desire to do you harm in this simple question. I only ask out of compassion to your wounded kin."

The lizardfolk looks at you, and seems to relax even more at your concern. Kind softskin. Blackscales reminded us who in charge. They brutes. At the word blackscale, all of the lizardfolk hiss angrily.

 

[Creamsteak]

"Blackscales? I'm afraid this poor humble softskin didn't recieve proper warning about these. Is this another tribe of your kin? One which is less likely to allow our simple passing through this territory? Please, if you would not be too burdened by the telling, inform me of the nature of these Blackscales, and perhaps what territorial bounderies we must abide."

Drekhad pauses and makes a simple mental imprint of the lizardfolks hiss at the word Blackscale.

"This simple paltry softskin wishes no hostility on this journey, but if these 'Blackscales' choose to cross our path with violence, they will find that my compatriots don't tend to have my humble manner."

Talas

Talas is quick to point out matter-of-factly some of the denizens of this place. "You hear that Flame-cursed howling? A small species of monkey. We've spooked them. That flower over there? It's a serpent's back, named so because the petals are shaped and overlap like lizard scales."It an odd coincidence the very flower gives way to some lizardfolk a short while later. Talas muscles tense as he senses the approaching combat, but soon realizes that these creatures are not hostile. He drops his flail to his side and listens to the conversation in the unknown language. When the lizardfolk hiss in alarm, Talas makes his own mental note. When the conversation comes to a good stopping point. Talas looks to Drekhad and whispers, "What got them upset?"

 

[Redclaw]

"Blackscales? I'm afraid this poor humble softskin didn't recieve proper warning about these. Is this another tribe of your kin? One which is less likely to allow our simple passing through this territory? Please, if you would not be too burdened by the telling, inform me of the nature of these Blackscales, and perhaps what territorial bounderies we must abide."

The lizardfolk nods in response, They lizardfolk, but not like us. They big and black, and they thieving brutes. They take tribute from us, keep they from killing us. They live at temple. Stay away from temple they might not see softskins.

"This simple paltry softskin wishes no hostility on this journey, but if these 'Blackscales' choose to cross our path with violence, they will find that my compatriots don't tend to have my humble manner."

I not sorry if softskins kill blackscales, but they big and tough, and work with poison dusks. Softskins might get killed. He actually looks kind of concerned as he says this.

[sblock=ooc] I'm assuming Drekhad translates for everyone, which is why I'm not sblocking the draconic. In combat situations I will do so, just so everyone is aware. [/sblock]
