[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7503305, member: 6855223"] [b]Querry for the Enemy[/b] [gm]Many congratulations are given all around. These Orngaddrin seem to be a very friendly people. The captured Eastabin soldiers are ushered inside the main gate. Their leader is thrown over the shoulder of one of the Ornagddrin, who carries him into the city like meat for a spit. Surprisingly, he sets the tied man down gently, to sit with his back against a boulder. The others are also commanded to sit. The Orgaddrin not directly involved with Nalvis and company revert to speaking in their own language, but it appears that a celebration feast is, indeed, being prepared.[/gm] [gm]At this statement, the Orngaddrin who are present to keep an eye on the prisoners all clank weapons against shields and loudly call, "Hoo Hah!"[/gm] The man sneers at Nalvis and spits on the ground. The elder Orngaddrin, Marmeren, who is standing by Nalvis as he questions, shakes his head. The elder asks Quill if he may see the man's sword. Quill readily obliges; and then seeing one of the females tending her wounded, she walks over to offer her assistance. Elder Marmeren draws the sword and holds it out in front of him, pointed toward the seated captive. The sword seems awkwardly small in his hands. He turns the blade, looking at the sword not the prisoner. "[COLOR=#800080]We made this sword. To think, you intended to use it to spill the blood of the hands that made it[/COLOR]." He then resheaths the sword and hands it to Arbrine, since Quill has withdrawn to tend the wounded. The captive leader looks up at Nalvis defiantly. "[COLOR=#800080]We, the soldiers of the future of the flooded valley, have succeeded in casting off the yoke of geriatric leadership and put to sea his foreign concubine and defiled seed. As the future of the flooded valley we shall see to its purification so that no blight shall interfere with our desire to have all things in common[/COLOR]." One of the other soldiers sits up straighter and quips. "[COLOR=#800080]Shon Yu, may his prophesies be soon, has told our futures and set our tasks. Your victory here today will be short lived. We will be avenged. Your blood will revitalize the land as your defiling presence is eradicated[/COLOR]."
