Alphonsine - Well, at least after that cult battle, these guys can't be that bad, right?
Doggett - That was a siege with the children safe in a mine against fanatical cultists with no combat experience and unfamiliar with their surroundings. We are now stuck out in the open, oscaran boys are trained in battle once they are old enough to walk, and on their turf.
Quinn - Well great then. Don't supposed any of the new people can cause dozens of anvils to rain from the sky? No? Wonderful.
**Gerr could see many oscarans, some mounted some on foot, in the distance. Two of mounted ones were approaching them.**

"Oh no." Said Dirk, as he contemplated having to fight a huge pile of Oscarans. "I really hope we can talk our way out of this. Maybe they just want a bribe?"
He was outside the carriages at this point, in the circle of guards, BTW.

Heulen - Yeah, maybe they'd accept gold instead of bloodshed. I've got some that I'd be willing to spare to keep the children out of any danger. I guess it might actually be a good thing that I didn't have quite enough to buy that last spell I need.
**Slowly the two approaching figures became clearly visible. Oscarans, they rode atop odd creatures that resembled mountain lions but with a more equine size and body shape and goatish horns.
One of the pair was shorter and stockier than most oscarans, dressed in chitin armor, with a hard, weather and time worn face and a slit of a mouth framed by a long moustache.
The other was a tall and dressed in dressed in a fine blue and white serape, a wide brimmed hat perched atop his shaved head. A grin spread across his face beneath a pencil moustach, his eyes hidden in the shade.**

**Dany's efforts to keep her hand from shaking as she put a hand to her sword hilt were prodigious in and of the themselves. The young adventurer did her best to keep her race steady as the oscarans approached.**
**Antoninus, scared almost out of his wits, stood very unready.**

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Heulen - I hope that they'll at least talk to us before they take any action, and that we'll actually be able to communicate with at least one of them.
Heulen sniffed the air to get the scent of the two mounted Oscarans and their mounts.

**Dany opened her mouth to reply, then quickly closed it. What the hell was that phrase they taught everyone in the village to use if they ever wandered into Oscarans?**
Dany - "Lo, er....Lo sen...timos mucho?"
**There was another one too...what the hell was it again....blah...**
Tall Oscaran - That tends to happen, which is why we were out here on patrol. Who speaks for you?
**Doggett looked to guardsman Corazon and nodded to him. He stepped forth.**
Corazon - I will speak for us.
**The tall oscaran gave no notice, he swept his gaze over them expectantly, pulling his hat off fanning his face. Now visible, his eyes were alive, bright, and mocking.**
Tall Oscaran - No one? Really? Shame...
Palasis - I will speak for us.
Tall Oscaran - Ah, finally. Well, you will of course all submit to us to be done with as we see fit The adults will be killed or put to work, the children sold to their brood, or if the will not pay, any other interested parties.

**Dany raised her eyebrows. This was, in fact, exactly what she had always heard oscarans did, but now that she was actually here, and they were actually threatening to do it? She found she wasn't scared. Was that odd? Maybe it was. But she wasn't scared.**
OtN- This is going to get real bad real fast again isn't it? Why is it that every job we end up on everything goes wrong in the most intense fashions? Sigh.
Meanwhile, Olo stood still and kept an eye towards Dogget. He was waiting for any kind of signal to attack, since running was totally out of the question.
Go ahead and run, you'll only die tired.
