Maidhc O Casain
Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
Vadim fairly leaps from his seat as his friend lets his beastial side get the better of him for a moment. "OK! Well, Councilman, I think we can probably take care of the rest of our business. We'd like to thank you for being so patient with us, and" (he presses a gold piece to the Councilman's palm as he shakes his hand) "we'll know where to find you should we have more questions, no? Please rest assured that though my friend speaks harshly, we have no intention of performing any such . . . vile . . . acts as he describes, especially in reprisal for indulging in what's surely the local equivalent of a national pass time!" He lowers his voice to a more conspiratorial level. "Still and all, it probably would be for the best if the presence of these books were kept close to our chests, eh?"
Once the Councilman has gone, Vadim turns to Besharrn. He smiles and speaks warmly to his friend, but there's no mistaking the urgency in his voice. "I'd be just as disappointed as you to have news of these books spread around town, but please remember we've been asked to live here for a month. Unless you're planning to kill all the locals and live amongst the carnage with Mistress Lorimar, a little more . . . subtlety . . . might be in order."
[sblock=OOC]One XP to Leif (I've not passed 'em around enough to be able to reward him again) for role play! Great job! But . . . minus 10 Trust Points for threatening the only local lawyer (and a town bigwig) with the removal of his tongue for gossiping . . .

[/sblock]OOC: You have earned one Trust Point for avoiding bloodshed with the locals. You have also earned 50 experience point each. While in Ravengro the degree of cooperation you will get from the locals depends upon your trust score. It was a near thing, fortunately the diplomacy check was successful before you started making threats.
