(in draconic) "Indeed you are battle hardened, and you have survived. But you are a member of a race allready known for battle. We have prospered as part of a race more often trod underfoot. You would not be the first to underestimate us......."

Druid: If we are ready to depart...........

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2003-12-22 03:04pm

Draconic: "I hope it does not come to blows my friend"

Common "Yes, let us depart."

Druid: "Very well......."

You are led back to the cart at a more relaxed pace. When you arrive, the vines are gone and the cart is out of the mud.

Druid: "The nearest human settlement is directly to the south. You will not be harmed while inside out land. Go now."

"Well lets get underway"

Ugh why did I have to go out?

Right, I'm tieing my Horses back up to the wagon, and then I'll take us to the town.

Ok you ride directly to the nearest town. You constantly see may dangerous creatures, but, while they follow you with their eyes, don't make any hostile movements.

++The trip takes about 3 hours at full speed. So if you guys want to talk about the deal you just cut IC now is the time. Otherwise I'll just say "you arrive"++

*in Gnome*"We have to try. We will simply tell them that the Kobalds will stop attacking, and go n their way, if they change their land use habits, and leave it at that. We will not mention the druid, or anything they dont need to know"

"This all seems very wrong. Kobold's working for what might be considered a good cause. Druids intent on wiping out villages. I'm all for the securing of borders but condoning whole sale slaughter is one thing I cannot take. I'll help with the negotiations, but if it comes to war I will fight with the humans. I will not let them be slaughtered."

"So will I, but I will also not allow that forest to be burned to a few cinders."

"All we can do is hope that the townspeople will listen to reason. Otherwise both sides are bent on their own destruction. Not that I would terribly mind otherwise. But now that I'm in the middle of it, we're either swing it to a good end, or run very, very fast indeed."
He turns towards Tsaroth and whispers in his ear in Draconic. "If poush comes to shove, we should get the hell out of here. I have seen to many hopeless battles to be in yet another one, my dear..."

"It wouldnt be ethical for me to run while innocent people die... I will have to stay. It is the right thing to do"

He blushed before he went on in draconic, still whispering very silently.
"I know it's the right thing to do. But I want to be alive afterwards. Especially now that I found someone to be together with."
He started nibbling slightly with his sharp teeth at Tsaroth's ear.

"Don't waste your breathe, forrest vs. humans, forrest wins. No matter how much I would like to burn the forrest down if that comes about, I'm sure it would be pointless, and very very dangerous. Hey, if worst comes to worst you can come with me, I was planning on heading down to the Dwarven lands, to get the wagon fixed..."

Robgea stops the cart, and goes outside it to check the wheels.

"My wheels snapped from the vines, and my spares are in the floor of my cart, how the hell did they get replaced?"

Tsaroths entire body shivered as Keenan nibled his sensitive elf-ears
He whispered in draconic
"Worry not, I have spells that permit our fast escape should our lives be badly threatened"

"Consider it a gift from the forest.. If the negotiations fail, I will offer my protection to the villagers for one week. That should be long enough to bring the humans to their senses. If now, I leave, and investigate the root cause... That druid did not seem to be thinking clearly... I suspec there is something far more sinister afoot"

Malakar slaps his hands together in anger. "Fool humans, encroaching on the forest like this..even simpletons should realize that a forest of this age will not take invasions into it's territory light. It is my duty to see that this desecration stops now."

As you look at the new wheels, you see they are sold, as opposed to parts. They also don't show any marks from tools. The wood the wheels are made out of either grew this way or was magicly shaped.

"If only I could reach up and nibble on your ears" Tsaroth sai in dracnic with a hint of amusement, and great pleasure.

"Do not be angry at the humans, they do not know the forest as we do. However, humans are a part of nature, just as the forest is. Nature will eventually balance itself, which is why I am negotiating a true, and will defend the humans long eough for them to get a grip on reality"

"Mind control prehaps? Maybe she's delusional too, or maybe she's just plain evil? Anyway, we have to keep our part of the bargain, and then run like hell after the humans don't do anything. I hear that the orcs are starting to attack dwarven towns more often nowadays..."

I want to use my Spellcraft skill to identify if it was magically made, and I am willing to take a 20. (I belive that's how it is said)

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2003-12-22 10:12pm

Yes, you can take 20.

Yes, the wood was magicly created.

Is it possible to identify the spell? Or at least what branch of magic was used?
