Zon attempts to interject. He speaks first to the Elf telling the story.
"Please honorable warrior, it is not us to offend you. But mearly to gain much wisdom in your adventures. Creatures that live beyond death are a scourage on the lands, and to each a power different may be had. Do forgive, and more to please tell. For it is said, the Olive is but a stick if not for peace."
Zon seems content that he has smoothed over the situation.
OOC Zon has no diplomatic skills, and not even a positive charsima modifer. But that does not stop him from attempting to be the diplomat.

In slight mocking tone "I'm truly sorry if I insulted you noble warrior. I only meant my remark partly as a jest. But onward with your story, it's quite entertaining whenever it's the complete truth or not."
OOC Horrors doesn't have diplomacy or charisma either, and has really lousy sense of humor (and an attitude problem) as you probably already figured it out.

"Sure, pardon my interruption." With a more serious tone to the elf "Please continue the story."

The dwarven cleric thinks for a moment.
"I've never seen a vampire myself, not even the one who attacked Sandemar. But as far as I know, the wound doesn't heal wholly without the help of strong clerical influence. That's one of the reasons why many a party of the warriors died during the time when the kingdoms were at open war, the bite of a vampire weakens the body, draining it of blood.
I myself am not strong enough to help here."
The elf reveals a smile.
"I accept your apology."
He bows the upper portion of his body slightly.
"Now, to get back to my story. After we had taken care of the skeletons, we had a moment to catch our breath and tend to our wounded.
But then we heard it: an empty sounding howl of hunger. We didn't know what it was a first, untill we saw them. It was a pack of zombie wolves, running towards us.
Tired of our last battle, we had to flee and had no chance to gather any loot from the undead. The pack of wolves was incredibly fast, we could barely stay out of their teeth with our tired horses. We had to ride to the mountains and they just kept coming after us. We couldn't risk revealing them where the path we had used to get past the Mountain and had to face them.
They attacked us, their jagged teeth ready to rip the flesh out of any one of us. Luckily we had the advantage of higher ground and could keep them at bay.
At some point, they got bored at us and ran away, propably already looking for something else to fill their stomaches."

Durban
... to the elf speaking...
"Packs of wolves certainly chimes well with the legends of vampires, but two days' ride from the city is awfully close. You were lucky to survive. I certainly don't think I'd want to be involved in an assault against vampires.
"My apologies if you mistook my questions as overly doubtful, but surely you can see how incredible such a thing sounds. I'm sure it's just because I lack experience in these matters."
Durban also lacks Diplomacy and has a +0 Cha modifier; then again, he's not trying to be terribly apologetic.

The elf waves the matter away with a flick of his wrist.
"It's nothing, I should've seen that you are not experienced yourself.
But now that I've told our story, would you like to tell why you have come so close to the Mountains?"
Many of the gathered people turn to face Durban.
