The White Fist Orcs, Jartrews Longknife

"As you said, Catain Cap-peez-zee-oh," the orc seems to be having some difficulty coaxing his misshapen lips to form the name, "We no longer wish to fight you. I ask that you spare our lives, leave us such food stores as we have, and, if it's not too much to ask, perhaps leave us a little money so that we can buy more food if needed. Otherwise, all that we have is yours. I ask also that you allow my warriors to keep their weapons, but here," the orc bows and offers you his large scimitar, "I offer my own weapon to you as a token of my good faith. What else do you require of us? Are you going on a journey, you are quite far outside of human lands -- if you require a guide, we can provide one for you."

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

Much as it pains her to play second fiddle, Tylara stands with bow and arrow in hand looking the part of an elven bodyguard for Cappizzio.

 

[KerlanRayne]

Kerlan moves over to Capi's other side, still in the guise of an Orc. He whispers, "They need to leave the valley, and give us information about the Underdark, the Crushed Skull orcs, and Larin Karr. Plus anything else you can think of."

 

[Scott DeWar]

Cappi sighs inwardly as he has no real skill at these things, but he acceps the Scimitar with grace.

"these are the things that we require:
1)We seek information on the Crushed Scull Orcs
2)We supect they hide in the underdark so we need to know a safe entrance into the underdark that will lead to them.
3)You will need to leave this valley and find a new home. The further you travel the less likely we will meet again. If we eet again, I may require tribue from you.
4)We seek a wizard named Larin Karr. We need a guide to find him as well as any and all information on him that you possess.
5) your complete silence as to us and our plans

Do you agree to these terms?"

5) your complete silence as to us and our plans

Do you agree to these terms?"

Chief Longknife sighs, but says, "Yes, we accept your terms. I only urge you to great caution in seeking out the Crushed Skull Tribe. They are far more warlike than we are. Yes, they do live in the Underdark. There are numerous entrances to the Underdark in Quail Valley, you can practically find on beneath every rock! In fact, we have one here in our caves that you can use, although it takes a bit of climbing skill to descend here. I ask that you allow us to remain here in our caves until after you have completed your mission to find this Larin Karr. That way we can guard your entrance to the Underdark behind you, and you can have a safe place to which you can retreat if necessary. We will leave peacefully when your mission is complete. We know of Larin Karr in general terms, but nothing specific. In fact, I heard that he is dead, but I will not believe it until I see his lifeless corpse. I am willing to provide you with a guide through the underdark to help you surface-types negotiate the many dangers that you will find there. Also, your guide, My son Belicus, will know many of the regions that are best avoided. Your plans shall never be spoken of by us again, on that you have my solemn vow."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Allow me to speak with my councelers first before we finalize on this."

The White Fist Orcs, Jartrews Longknife

Longknife nods and withdraws several paces, motioning for his tribe members to do likewise.

 

[Scotley]

Tylara resists the urge to smack Cappizzio for not asking for some sort of tribute from the tribe since they are proving helpful. "Assuming we can trust them it isn't a bad deal."

 

[Lou]

Francheska Walova

"Agreed, it is a good deal if they don't randomly jump us." says Francheska quietly.

 

[Leif]

The White Fist Orcs, Jartrews Longknife

Longknife and the other orcs continue to wait patiently while the wizard's run through imagined events and try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

OOC: Why would they try to trick you like that, considering that you annihilated well above half of their tribe in just about a minute's time?
