((...I know it's April 1st, but...Bump?))

The collection of Dorfs looks at the gathered party funnily, as they're talking through Comms and to them it just looks like they're kinda just.. staring at each others. They take this chance to dip their metal mugs for more swig of the alcoholic mixture that really should go into a rocket than into someone's mouth.

Meanwhile, it does seems that the APCs have sniper rifles that isn't Gauss. The Corporate-issued ones, they were generally proven useless against large castle targets, but you never know when you could use a semi-auto rifle to shoot at soft targets after all.

Active radar shows that a large aerial contact have just flown up from the trees, visual confirms that it's a giant owl estimated to be bigger than your APC.

[TheBiggerFish]

Unbubble Frazz.  The damage is, alas, done.  Or not, who knows.

"Fine.  How much bird do you even want?"

>They seem rather insistent on wanting a replacement for an illusory bird they shot down...with flak...

"Ahem.  If you don't mind, perhaps you could stop threatening my elf.

Because really, threatening any of us is threatening all of us, including the actual dragon right here.

And I presume you'd rather have more booze than have a war on your hands, mhm?  Especially a war with people who can actually" - a tree topples (away from the dwarves) as a plane of Void shears through it sideways and at a little diagonal - "fight back?  Because, well, we could.  We just don't particularly see any reason to expend resources like that when we could, instead, cooperate and become stronger still."

Shayla would chuckle. "So let me get this straight. We /just/ showed you what we did to fake there being a bird, and you still don't believe us? I think you guys perhaps have been drinking too much." She'd think a moment. "Or not enough I guess." The woman let out a snicker at that, checking over her shotgun just in case.

"She's got a point.  Heck, come with us a bit and tell your people to not shoot this time and we can actually replicate the feat proper.  I don't think any of us want to replicate the 'being shot at' bit, though."

"Better idea. Some of our people are aboUt to head over as we speak. If we bring you a ton of bird meat, will we call it even? I'd hate to get things started on the wrong foot

((Sorry, for the delay, I meant to post this morning but school happened))

Laz chuckles as the dorf lays into him, keeping a friendly grin.
"Heh, that's probably the third most insulting thing I've ever heard. You should work on that. Either way, I was just demonstrating that the bird you shot down was not real."
Laz let's the bird pop out of existence, still looking as unfazed as ever.

"And Frazz, if you start calling me Lassy, you will be blind for as long as you are within range of my illusions."

Them dorfs looked at each others, does that huddle whispers thing. One pops it's head up from the crowd to look at you, then back to the group mumbling before they break. "If yer friends came 'ere with more bird, we 'uppose that'll even it 'ut."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Deal."

>"So guys, bird hunting, how goes it?"

[zomara0292]

"Quiet. We just found a small bird."

[vkiNm]

'Small' as in the size larger than an APC.

[zomara0292]

Of course

Presumably, people started shooting at the giant owl. With the combination of skill and absurdly high-tech target-aqusitioning system, it was next to impossible to miss. And a bird that size can only take so many bullets before it falls from extensive gunshot wounds.

Thanks to hollow bones, an APC will have no problem carrying the winged beast.

[zomara0292]

"And we have it, though it has a few more holes than expected. We should be there sh-. . .  Quickly."

[TheBiggerFish]

>"They can't hear you, but good call.  Watch out for short idioms.  They might get translated."

[zomara0292]

Vigil paused and looked at Aria, a confused look in his eye."Are you calling them short and stupid? Wait. . .  They sent short and stupid are they?"

[TheBiggerFish]

>"What?"

[Twinwolf]

Aria looks confused. "Are you alright? I didn't say anything..."
