You do not have look of laborer, Hock Ablsord, too many weapon." "Well how much do we have Dr?"Hoke rubs his face as he lowers his head trying to come up with a solution. "No, Camilla, I am not a laborer, but I am an explorer on my way to find land for laborers. I am sorry to tell you we do not have enough wax for your warriors. Could you possibly bring the broodmother out here to meet us? I am afraid we cannot turn off the 'songbox' elsewise we may lose our way. It helps us keep our bearings. We do not wish you any harm, and we would like to secure safe passage for ourselves and those who may follow this favorable air current in the future." Hoke steps further forward, standing atop the bow's draconic figurehead, testing the limits of the 'songbox' "Is there a peaceful way we could come to an amicable solution?" he asks the harpy, straining to see if he could hear the aria at all.

"Hoke, trying to get them to bring their leader to you is a sign of disrespect pretty much everywhere. You're essentially saying that you think you are superior to their leader and are trying to put them in their place. I suggest that we instead accept their original offer and go to see her as a sign of respect. Doing so would also foster a level of trust as it would show that we are willing to place ourselves in their power and trust them that they will not harm us." (OOC: I've just remembered that I sold the City Watch Halberd back in the Marketplace and thus shouldn't have it in my inventory, I'm sorry I forgot to remove it earlier.)

He looked back at Germ with a silencing look. "Shhh." 2 hours ago, Lord Duvors said: "Germ, please do not antagonize the nice bird-people, we are trying to avoid fighting if possible." It is not like that. We could just shoot at some rocks. I know I would not like to face a barrel of a Cannon. You know show them our strength. I get the feeling that might be the one thing they respect. 2 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: "Kevaw. Is fool who allows wings to be taken from him in first place."

Waterbrick Down Posted February 9, 2017 The sirens fly ahead, behind, above, and below as Camilla leads the Destiny's Bounty to a cliff face where several rocky outcrops jut out into the strait. The harpy lands on one of the outcroppings. "You may lower ladder here. We continue on foot." Giacondo glances at Hoke.

Waterbrick Down Posted February 10, 2017 Filling their ears with wax (all aside from the Throlar), the party disembarks onto the rocky outcrop. Surrounded by six sirens, the Heroes are escorted to an isolated ledge inaccessible to all but the most dexterous of fliers. Camilla bows her head in respect to an armored harpy. "Broodmother Le... We bring yo... Eubric who ...ccess across... king... They... harm, ...air boat... and they... weapons." Camilla takes her place at the side of the other siren. "...people have s... past year a... from Eubric! One ... sirens d... warriors fr... ...nd. Sterope, queen o... throwing... ...array. Have... finish... ...y beg...?"

samurai-turtle Posted February 10, 2017 Wondering why he is mindlessly following every one. At the same time a bunch of random thoughts started going threw his head. I should of just stayed behind on the airship. If it does go south I could of at least have way out of here, but now I got to rely on the others and hope they don't screw this up. Why did I put wax in my ears? It is going to be a pain in the "Ohio-Art" to get out. I can barely hear anything. Will the "song" even affect me? What a bunch of tease. "We will get the guys horny and never put out that will be funny". A bunch of "Wham-O". Oh, they started to talk ... Well hurry up and get this over with ...
