The Four Lands - The Great North

[J. Alexander]

The Hillock

For Bertrand
[sblock]Rendee responds that from their apperance they use Spirit Magic much like he does...and from the look of their totems and enmblems..they appear to be well versed in it's use..ie...there are one or two very powerful spirit shamans present.[/sblock]


Assembling at the base of the Hillock, the party moves to approach the figures seated on the ground. Arriving within 50 feet of them, the group stands and waits for the party to close.

 

[Scotley]

As they draw closer Bertrand whispers to the others, "spread out some, their are some powerful sorcerers--spirit shamans--among them. If things go bad with the negotiations we could get hit with some serious spells."

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

"I can speak their native language. I would be happy to act as diplomat, if you wish it. Given their dress and acuetrement, I suggest our spokesperson not show any outward symbols of the Light, as they may not respond well, fearing that we are here to convert or harm them. Do you wish me to act as diplomat?"

Jaroth asks the others.

 

[Rhun]

Vadric smiles and nods at his companion. "By all means, Jaroth. If you can speak to them, and avoid possible bloodshed, please do so."

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

"By all means do what you can. I've no desire to pick a fight with the locals."

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

"We should all approach nonthreateningly. Make no gestures. I will greet them when we are close enough."

[ooc: Jaroth studies the gestures and stances of the tribesmen. Also, he will study their facial expressions. Are they smiling? stoic? Jaroth will try to mimic their demeanor.]

[sblock=For DM] Jaroth will use his Druidic communication ability. If this requires a touch, he will chance offering a handshake when the time comes to greet them. [/sblock]

The Hillock

Coming closer to the group, Jaroth notices that their faces are stoic, showing little or no emotion. When the party gets withing perhaps ten feet, an idvidual dressed in a cloak of white rabbit fur speaks in broken common "Sit, take salt, there is much to discuss" then gestures to the white blankets facing his group.

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Very stoicly, Jaroth nods and gestures for the others to take a seat. Using his tongues ability, Jaroth speaks in the native language of these people.

"You honor us with the sharing of gifts."

He then nods his head and takes his seat.

Switching to common, he asks his companions (the party) if any of them have any coffee.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian is content to let Jaroth take the lead with the negotiations and schools his manner to reveal as little or less of himself as the tribesmen reveal of themselves. Finnian maintains eye contact with the tribesmen as he formally takes his seat amongst the party. When Jaroth asks the party about coffee, Finnian finally comments.

"I don't have any coffee, but perhaps one of these teas would serve our purpose for the formality of the occasion."

Finnian pulls three packages of tea out of his pack, one package of a good normal tea, one package of Balancing tea, and one package of Purifying tea.

 

[Rhun]

Vadric too is more than willing to let Jaroth do the talking. As takes a seat near his companions, remaining silent as he watches the proceedings.
