Scare them into the deeper parts and cave in parts of the cavern, sealing them in

Take out their leaders and try to convince them to surrender

Slaughter them all

Ignore them and look elsewhere

((Such as that, yes. or worse.))

((Such as that, yes. or worse.))

((I don't even thgink you had the chance to put it back on...))

[Sirus]

((See, now you've gone and piqued my curiosity, damn you.))

((I don't even thgink you had the chance to put it back on...))

((I specifically said it was the first thing he did as soon as he got free of the trees. Around where he told Varg and Ewan that he would explain later.))

[Sirus]

((Also I'd like to change my vote from "everyone go after Ritcher" to "hide everyone other than Arioch and Ritiki, stay here". Neither option is particularly great but this might have a better chance of success.))

((As stated in the other category, if you have a better idea, feel free to share it. And again, I voted other myself))

[Sirus]

((I have no better ideas. We don't have a lot of good options at the moment, considering how the wererats were just planning to attack some strangers out of the blue and are coming back with reinforcements. Right now, the best we can do is let those reinforcements arrive and deal with them best we can. If we try to find their home cave, they can bring more numbers against us should they choose violence.))

[apiks]

((So much for Diplomacy, heh.))

[Sirus]

((Not really? Still going to shoot for diplomacy.))

[Hanzoku]

((But if diplomacy fails, it's handy when they split themselves into more manageable chunks.))

[Sirus]

((But if diplomacy fails, it's handy when they split themselves into more manageable chunks.))

((Basically this.

If/when diplomacy fails I'd rather deal with a small group than the entire clan at the same time.))

((Since we have a somewhat majority, I'll roll with what we have: Diplomacy here while hiding the rest of the party))

The party decides it is best to hide everyone but Ritiki and Arioch.

Within the next thirty minutes, Ritcher returns at a quick pace with four others, all five of them are in rat form and change to human form as they get close. All of them are armed.

Ritcher is in the front, but you can clearly tell he is not the leader, as one carrying two shortswords comes forward as he approaches you. He's much bulkier than the others and he carries a shortsword and a long stone blade attached to a wooden shaft that makes it closer to a longsword. Another is another woman, and the other two are again, very young.

The big one steps forward.

"I see your bloodthirsty ways of old still hold true today about you folk from across the sea. Brutal and merciless.

Hard to believe you came with talks of peace when you did this. I'll give you once chance to explain yourself before I cut you down."

He takes a martial stance as he waits for you to speak. Ritcher looks mortified

[Sirus]

Ritiki stepped forward, a summoned violin in hand. "The leader of your last group planned to attack us. He tried to use the Goblin tongue to hide his intentions as he told your man Ritcher to collect more warriors, not knowing that we speak it as well. The two of us were forced to defend ourselves. Now, I say "forced" because we genuinely wish for peace. Once again, we ask to speak to your leader so that we may determine how all the tribes can live together in harmony. We do not wish for more bloodshed."

[apiks]

((I thought we hid the bodies?))

"I did warn that hostile intentions aren't received well generally, as I believe Ritcher can confirm."

[highmax28]

((I thought we hid the bodies?))

"I did warn that hostile intentions aren't received well generally, as I believe Ritcher can confirm."

((He can smell the blood of his fallen allies? (aka I honestly forgot you mentioned that. It's been like 3 days since you said anything about that)))

Ritiki stepped forward, a summoned violin in hand. "The leader of your last group planned to attack us. He tried to use the Goblin tongue to hide his intentions as he told your man Ritcher to collect more warriors, not knowing that we speak it as well. The two of us were forced to defend ourselves. Now, I say "forced" because we genuinely wish for peace. Once again, we ask to speak to your leader so that we may determine how all the tribes can live together in harmony. We do not wish for more bloodshed."

"I am as close to a leader as you can get with us. As if we would let our chief speak with someone as bloodthirsty as your kind.

They may have been thieves, but I was told you threatened them first with your magic. I will have you know, I do not fear it. You're going to have to do better than that to scare me.

How can I trust you that you will not harm more of us?"
