[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7495975, member: 6855223"] [b]Attempting Diplomacy[/b] [gm]No one immediately responds. The boats beach and the soldiers disembark, the last two of each boat turning to pull the craft a bit further onto the beach so that the river's current will not take them away. Each boat's soldiers line up in a double columnar formation, as per their regular training, making five units of seven with each archer standing a bit to the column's right. One soldier in the central formation seems a bit taller than the rest, a bit better dressed, a bit more handsome. A bit surprisingly, he is armed with a dancing sword scabbarded at his left hip. The thin metal sword is of such a particular design that it requires special training to learn to use. The friends know of the weapon from such talk as accompanies travelers, but have never seen one, as it is not given to regular soldiers. While the other soldiers have armed themselves with short metal swords and wooden bucklers, at ready. The youthful figure with the dancing sword has not. He looks down and brushes some imaginary debris from the lower left edge of his Acrylon tunic, drawing his hand up slightly to rest upon the pommel of his sword. He looks over at Nalvis with a look of utter contempt and disdain. "[COLOR=#800080]The words of our language coming from your lips sound profane.
