Chapter 8 - Into the Swamp

[GreyWolfVT]

Ogre captive shaking his head "He just scout. We capture try to beat answers out of, but we no speak his language. We was gonna kill er eat em. Big town you probably passed out in swamp." he answers as best he can.

[Rex]

Egon

"I suppose for an Ogre that is a sound plan, beat them until they talk when you don't share a common language and then if that doesn't work just plan on eating them."

Looking at Tellurion, "Are you sure he has something we need to offer?"

[Cwreando]

Trist/Jivet

Trist and Jivet listens to the group discuss the ogre's situation, "I agree that if the big one joins us there will need to be some precautions. Possibly some training/guidance for how the big one helps us. Do's and Don't's kind of thing. It won't be perfect and we'd want to minimize the risks and dangers for encounters both hostile and friendly."

Weston

"Any agreement between him and the group would have to clear and agreed. He helps us and follows orders and in return we will do our best to get him our of here with us when we leave."

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

"What say you?" - he turned to the ogre - "You want to join forces with us? Maybe get a chance to get out of here alive, and richer?"

My Charisma is 14 so... *wink, wink*

[tristenc]

fine to set him free. If he stays with us Reywald will stay as far from him as poss.

Reywald nods, Yes, ground rules. Lots of ground rules... specific ones, with no ambiguity left for interpretation... or we just let him go.

Del

Del keeps quiet with this discussion.

[GreyWolfVT]

Ogre "Me no want go wit you me want leave dis place. Er you can just leave me here." the captive says.

Meanwhile the pinned lizardman wriggles and struggles trying to break free making weird hissing sounds.

[Rex]

Egon

"And what would you do if we just leave you here?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Ogre "try leave so me go home, er just sit an wait till youz let me go."

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

"Fine - you've cooperated" - Tellurion shrugged - "I am ok with letting you go" - he turned to the others questioningly.

[Rex]

Egon

"As long as we see him start to leave and not just stay behind I am all right with it."

[BaltoBruiser]

Kravoud


I don’t want this one lurking behind me. Let him go and someone watch him leave. Let’s see if anyone can understand the lizard man. Does anyone have magic that can make his hisses and grunts intelligent?

[shaidar]

Weston

"I could ask Lord Azuth to consider changing one of my spells. It may be successful. Even if it is I would only be able to understand what he says and not vice-versa."

[Rex]

Egon

"That doesn't seem very useful. Maybe he speaks another language?"

Egon will try talking to the lizardman in Dwarven.

"That is all I know, anyone else want to try another language?"

[gurusql]

Del

"I think the lizardman only speaks its own language. I do not have any magic that can help."

[tristenc]

Reywald shakes his head. Likewise I have no magic that will allow us to communicate with this creature...

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

"Same" - the man nodded, then turned to the ogre - "I will cut you loose, and you will leave. Do we have a deal?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Ogre semi-stupidly shakes his head agreeing "Yup. Me swear on my mudder's life."

[Rex]

Egon

"Get then, before we change our minds."
