Rajah will silently stand on the boat, looking at their new travelling companion and watch with interest as the armed men burst out of the tent. He calls over to Razor and asks his invisible companion to go and eavesdrop on the conversation, if they are hostile, report back.
"Sometimes I wish I could be the one to make first contact with strangers. Ah well. " Rajah muses as he waits.

The men still look suspicious. One of the others who had not yet spoken mutters something about "lizard", but the man who took the lead before says
"Great! We too are soldiers of Darokin. We got seperated from the others after we ran into some zombies. It was horrible - the darn things are nearly indestructable - I saw one take two arrow hits and keep on coming - and we took some losses against them. You must be the search party sent to find us! Thank the gods!"

Bevin is highly suspicious of these individuals. He raises one eyebrow, puit his right hand on his hip, and says, "And just how do WE know that you are who you say you are??? Where is the regimental ensign that we were all given when we marched?"
OOC: Bevin is making up this last part, but it sounds plausible, he thinks, and maybe he can trick the man into telling some lie about what happened to their ensign, and thus demonstrate that he is playing us false.

The man says "We weren't sure we'd encounter allies instead of the enemy, and given our small number, we wanted to be able to fake our identity if we had to.
Hey, wait a minute! How do I know you're who you say you are? That man with you looks like he could be from the desert, and your other companion rides a lizard monster!" He puts his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Who is the commander of the 3rd regiment?"
(ooc: None of you know the answer to that.)

[OOC: By the way, who IS the commander of our regiment? --Thanks
"The commander of OUR regiment is Lord Forrest, and, since your so knowledgeable, surely you've heard his name. And who are you to judge my friends based solely upon appearances? These men have fought valiantly for the Republic, and will do so again! Perhaps you also have some issue with me for being a dwarf?" Bevin caresses his mace, "Nutcracker", as he says this last.

"Huh? I got nothing against dwarves" the man declares. "I'm just saying, your pals don't look much like anyone from Darokin I've ever seen, but they do look like they could be natives of the desert. There ain't nothing discriminatory about noticing that. Combine that with the fact that we are at war with the desert folk, and it don't look like a good sign to me.
Now who are you? Are you here to help us or not?"

"One of my companions here has our Safe Passage, signed by Sergeant Sarras, and bearing the Seal of Darokin. We are on a mission to join up with a caravan beyond the Salt Swamp, and travel with it into the Sind Desert. We are urgently trying to reach them before they leave without us, so we cannot afford to tarry long here with petty bickerings."
