The Four Lands - The Great North

[Neurotic]

Vorian

Vorian takes the salt without any outward sign of emotion and eyes barbarians wearily. He is not trusting sort and will remain alert for some time. In the background of main conversation he whispers to Arrwuh to go scouting around and see the infantry (see previous post(s)).

He will observe barbarians learning their customs and behaviors for future reference (Diplomacy +11)

After reference to bringing evil, he frowns. What under seven heavens did I get myself into?! However, he refrains from commenting as it is Jaroth that speaks for all of them.

 

[J. Alexander]

The Hillock

Briefly looking among themself with the almost heard of expression (He can not be that blind or stupid) the fur clad individual says "I talk about the storm and the bad spirits that you have brought and of the old taboo that was brougth forth"

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth nods.

"I see."

"We did not make the storm. The bad spirits made the storm. The bad spirits seek something that one among us brought to our ship far from here. They conjured a black storm far away in the ocean and wrecked us on this land. Then they sought their prize. In doing so, they conjured another storm just over there." Jaroth points to the area of yesterday's storm.

"That storm has been contained and we defeated the black spirits without the loss of any of own lives. We have arranged for the object the black spirits desire to be removed from this land, forever beyond their reach. But that will not happen until sunset. We expect to be beseiged by the black spirits and their allies this day. Joining us in this fight will most assuredly remove the black spirits from your lands. Whereas, aiding them will only delay the inevitable. As they gain strength, they will cover the land like a plague, bringing war, famine and disease until none oppose them. Will you join with us?"

 

[J. Alexander]

The Hillock

"Speak you of joinings and allegiances. yet no proof is offered of what you say" the white fur clad man says. Another man this time clad in black fox fur speak "Tresspass they be upon our ancesteral lands, payment must be made" then looking at the party he spots Kellson and points to him "Strong lad, i take him as payment for the trespass"

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Without missing a beat and without revealing emotion, Jaroth responds:

"Your countryman risks offending our honor by accusing us of trespassing. We are no more trespassing here then are the birds or the deer. And you will be rid of us soon enough."

"As for proof of what I say, we have much. What proof do you require?"

 

[ethandrew]

Kellson's eyes widen visibly at this latest utterance. A look of bewilderment comes over his face. He looks over at Finnian and states in the common tongue, "Wait, what? Why is he pointing at me? No." He looks at the tribesmen and nods his head enthusiastically with a big wide grin before turning back, "I don't like this at all. Are they mad at me? Do they think I did all this?"

 

[Rhun]

Are they speaking in a language we understand, or can only Jaroth understand them?

 

[Canaan]

Are they speaking in a language we understand, or can only Jaroth understand them?

Yeah, ditto that.

 

[J. Alexander]

The Hillock

The white rabbit fur clad man answer Jaroth by stating.."Our land. your on it with no permission, thus trespass. As for proof and honor you no show you worthy of either yet" The black fur clad man then adds "See pretty smile, give me boy trespass forgotten"

OCC: They are speaking in broken common which all or you can more or less understand

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth raises his hand to politely silence Kellson.

Then he speaks to the White Rabbit Furred man.

"I understand your wariness. And I understand how things look from your perspective. I would be wary as well. Now. Look it the situation from our perspective and you will see your wariness mirrored. We were shipwrecked on this land by evil spirits, wraiths, mere shadows of man and their demonic allies. We managed to defeat them. Then, we saw your men on the horizon and our man (he points to Vorian) rode out to meet with you, when he was attacked by your people. You claim to own this land and show us no proof. You have not given us proof of either your honor or your claims. Thus, your wariness is likewise ours. This is something then that we have in common."

"We have shared salt, and will thus try to reach and understanding. We do not wish to offend you any more than you wish to offend us. Let us try to understand each other, rather than lay claim and make accusations."

"Let us talk and explore our circumstances to see whether we will be allies. You start by telling us of your lands and how you came to be on them. And we will tell you of our journey and the circumstances of how we came to be here."
