Ooookay. Maybe...Try to rack my mind for whatever language they're using? I did read a lot of Foreign Books, and I must have come across it somewhere. Maybe I can remember enough to explain myself to them.
"... What are you doing?! These guys have guns! Let me handle this."
Drawing up her literacy skills gained from reading hundreds of books, VG starts to travel down the perilous road of DIPLOMACY. Raising her voice so everyone can hear, she speaks as the Village Theme Song plays in the background.
"Fellows! Amigos! Drop thine weapons! United we shall stand, divided we shall fall! You see, as a kid I was told one thing. Never play with weapons! Not only can you hurt yourself, they would say, but you can hurt others too! Looking back, I realise that there's a hidden meaning to this phrase. For brandishing your weapons alone hurts all of us. We lose confidence, you lose an ally! This is how it has been from the start of time. Now lay them down and we will be able to forget this ever happened and actually move forward!"
As the two of you try to communicate with the villagers, a dark-haired man wearing a dirty yet expensive-looking suit pushes his way to the front of the crowd. The villagers look at him expectantly, but he ignores them as he addresses the both of you.
"It's been a while since I've had any company here. It's funny; no matter how lifelike a puppet is, it's just not the same as a living, breathing human. Probably has something to do with wooden vocal chords being near useless for speech."Looking at the villagers, you can now see that they aren't human at all, but are actually wooden automatons, each one carefully crafted to resemble a human in every way. It must have taken ages to carve them all, but the man speaking to you doesn't look a day over 20.
"Anyways, would you girls care for something to eat or drink while the villagers deal with that dragon? I'm only one man, and puppets don't eat much, so there's plenty of food to go around.""aha!"
Murder the incapacitated guy
The construct formerly known as Grungson orients itself toward it's victim. It opens it's horrible pincer-like jaws, and with a terible crunching sound, begins to eat it's way through the barrier that traps it.
Eat my way through the barrier with sheer badassery. Lunge at Varen and disembowel him with my drill(s) while tearing his throat out with my jaws.
Turning towards Kordos, Raynen spoke, "Thanks, whoever you are. Still, before you move on, would you mind helping me make this area a slightly safer place?"
Fire an arrow towards the Grungson thing while it's trapped.

Thinking quickly, Raynen fires an arrow at Grungson's exposed core, the toy shaft turning into a six foot rod of hot-pink steel as it penetrates deep into the construct's chest, but passing harmlessly through to the other side. Smirking as best he can with his mandibles, Grungson tries to chew through his bindings, but doesn't even manage to make a mark on the red ribbons as Varen strikes again, the dagger glancing off harmlessly as the ribbons turn Grungson into a solid red cocoon as he struggles in vain.
fully load my stolen rifle and continue onwards for yet more mediocre loots
You load your rifle up before heading north, stopping before a forest so thick with ice that it seems more like a network of tunnels than a woodland.
"Okay then."
Murder Petipor
Haah, damnit... Recalibrating...
Wait for gun to recharge, in the mean time, protectively stand in front of Annie (without preventing her from attacking.) If attacked, switch to knife mode and retaliate as best as possible.
I... don't know if this will work, Annie... But it's best if we work together.

Annie thrusts at Petipor with all of her strength, but it only drives the great beast into a rage, causing it to wind its tongue around her like a boa constrictor before ALGEM can move to defend her. Despite Annie's struggling, Petipor manages to yank her into its open maw without much difficulty, and prepares to clamp down as Nekik's twin swords bounce harmlessly off of its hide.
Turning towards Darius, Raynen spoke, "Thanks, whoever you are. Still, before you move on, would you mind helping me make this area a slightly safer place?"
Fire an arrow towards the Grungson thing while it's trapped.
"Frankly, I see no innocents in that fight. Let the murderers kill each other, I say.
"Anyway, I've stayed here too long as it is. As I said, I got a mission to complete, so if you ain't coming with me quit holding me up. If you are coming with me, you can use that spear that guy just dropped. That goes for you too, new guy," he says, looking at the newly-spawned Da Funk. "My only caveat is that you stick with me and don't try to use it to kill a person for your own gain; otherwise I will kill you myself."
Kordos offers his spear to anyone who will join his quest. If no one takes it, he'll pick it up and head off in a random direction toward a dungeon. If some does join him and take it, he'll head off in a random direction toward a dungeon.
Well, everyone seems too busy ganging up on Grungson to accept your offer, so you head to the southeast, soon coming across a river carving a canyon between steep mountain cliffs.
Make sure it's up to 11, and yell into the mic with the intent of somehow causing mass destruction:FUS RO DAH!
(don't act like you wouldn't do the same XD)
(Zonix bad: 6+2)
(Zonix aff: 2+4)
Your fearsome shout is amplified several hundred times over through the amplifier, and tears the ground in front of you to shreds, as well as sending members of both sides of the nearby battle flying into the distance to land in crumpled heaps. Both armies look at you with terrified expressions upon the soldiers' faces, and several of them turn and run, fearing another blast of sound.
Fully Translated!!!! Finally!!!! ((well... still not sure what crikr means, exactly.)) Although I think his goal is kind of... difficult to achieve at the moment.
Kneel, and say, "vros buud du aeui kaad? Orku, vros vurrd du aeui cuka kruk?"
((That should work.))
((I'm gonna send you the translated messages through PMs, so that you don't have to waste time deciphering stuff.))
The insect-man seems quite surprised by your use of his language as you kneel; his lance disintegrating into a swarm of locusts which quickly fly off in random directions.

"Wresarrems... Ik sra ksureak uk Crosrar ora su ba bareaqad, sram aeui ora buimd su srek buud srruisr sra vrek uk sra Wresark. Ik es qomekrak, ku suu verr aeui, omd qeca qarko.

((Oh man it's good to be lucky! And for some reason the mercy kill hat thing was hilarious.))
Noticing he's safe from the dragon for now, Evil Lucky let's out a huge sigh of relief and says, "Man I came for torturing people and magical loot.... not to get chased around by a dragon with a book for a head." He looks up at Aurwyn and says, "Ah sorry about grabbing you the way i did. I hadn't then our torturing days together would've been way too short lived. Anyways can you see in this darkness? Because I can't even see my own hand."
Ask Aurwyn if she can see in the dark. If she can then set her down and let her lead the way. If not then just keep her on my shoulders for now and feel my way through the cave using the walls slowy.
"I can see in HERE. One moment, let me try SOMETHING."The hat on Aurwyn's head begins to glow, and her eyes suddenly release twin spotlight beams of green light, illuminating the tunnel.
"Is that BETTER?"You nod, and then advance down the tunnel using Aurwyn's light as a guide. After some time, the tunnel opens into a new world, the likes of which you have never seen. It's a gargantuan cavern, several miles across, filled with lush greenery. Strange and colorful birds circle around near the top of the cavern, which is made of a glowing white stone that shines light down upon the forest below.
BASS GUY AND GHOST DARIUS SPAWN!(Bass luk: 1+3)
Bass Guy's waiver becomes a large clockwork handgun, which constantly emits blue steam through a chimney jutting from the stock.
(Darius luk: -2-6)
Darius' waiver turns itself into an enormous frog composed entirely out of boiling mud. The creature looks him over thoroughly, as if trying to decide whether or not Darius would make a good snack.
