The Sudden Approach of Unexplainable Power: IC

[unleashed]

“Hmm, I wonder if the houses with the goblins chained to the doors are where they keep prisoners... if so this is going to be a little harder than I’d hoped,” Aekalos muses as they study the camp. “I should be able to slip in easily enough though, once I’ve had a few minutes to examine their gear and appearance, so I can match it closely enough. I hope my inability to speak or understand the orcish language won’t cause me too much trouble...”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Maris replies, "But, you don't even look like an orc!"

Errast ignores his partner's comment and says, "But I do speak the orcish tongue. I do not know if that helps, though. I do not look like an orc, either."

 

[unleashed]

“No, not yet... but I will, when I’m ready to go,” Aekalos replies with a grin, before turning to Errast, “So do you think you can teach me a few common orcish words and phrases, Errast... enough to get me by if I’m challenged?”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Errast smiles. "Actually, if you can give me some peace and quote for less than a half an hour without making me worry about intrusions from the pig-noses, I can let you understand what's being spoken to you. But you would have to touch the speaker. As for speaking your own, i could probably give you a few phrases. But do you actually think that the members of this tribe would realize that they don't recognize you? It isn't like this is Partuss or anything."

 

[unleashed]

“So you do have a few tricks after all, Errast!” Aekalos chuckles, “Well, I’m hoping not to run into any orcs directly if things go to plan, but I might want a few phrases to fool the goblins with, if I’m going to get a look in those houses they’re chained to. Just in case they actually have something to say... I doubt it, but you never know...”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Errast smiles. "Oh, I get it now! You are hoping to play bulldog and intimidate them with a few phrases. I understand. I imagine I can teach you how to say a few slang and insults, if that's what you are looking for."

 

[unleashed]

Aekalos grins, “Yep, that’s the plan, as I imagine the orcs won’t be tricked by my appearance, and as you say a few slang terms and insults will likely do for the goblins. Though a quick run through some common orcish words, so I can get an idea of what’s being said might be helpful as well... just in case I hear some orcs coming.”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Errast replies, "Yeah, I can teach you to recognize a few. But if you try and speak some, they'll know you're a fake immediately, most likely."

 

[unleashed]

‘Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that then, as my disguise should be rather convincing, they usually are anyway... though best to be as prepared as possible,” Aekalos smiles. “So let’s get this crash course in orcish going, shall we,” he adds, moving a short distance away from the camp with Errast, while leaving Maris to keep watching.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

It takes Errast almost a half an hour to teach Aekalos a few greetings, a few slang, and a few generic phrases.

[Sblock=OOC]Shall we say orcish for ...

"Hello."
"Yes, sir."
"Get out of my way."
"Now."
"Pathetic weakling."
"Small brow."
"Thin boned."
"Half breed."

and a few other specific ones Aekalos may ask for.[/Sblock]
