Let's see if we can't forego paying either the tribe or demanding payment and suggesting that they ally with us in taking the enemy of theirs down. We will forget the attack if they let us fully raid the enemy and take them as thralls and in return they forget the deaths if we help them eradicate their enemies.

Fair?

+1 to mutual back scratching diplomacy.

+1 This. Sate our bloodlust!

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Also we should see about doing a translator trade, unless that's a Research project.

Yes. Actually this should be tantamount. We can't very well strategize if we don't understand the language.

"You've got to be kidding me Jomar, these bastards attacked us, not some other Skraelings hiding Gods knows where. We can raid them just as well as these supposed original attackers."

That was the most moderate response you got out of your own people...and that came from your wife. Growls of assent come from the arrayed men and especially Corv seems opposed to the idea to just ally with the skraelings. Your men want blood and they want it now.

And then happens what you have feared might happen...one of your men challenges you.

"Are you a Coward Thoraldsson? You have avoided all fights so far! Are you so afraid of these Skraelings?"

Three Choices remain to you:

1. Call the Man (whoever he might be) out to a Holmgang, a duel to death or surrender.
2. Act upon his words and prove him wrong. Here and now.
3. Do not act upon his words, stay your course, alliance with the Skraelings here to raid the others is more important than your reputation.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Well this wasn't unexpected. And we've planned on sorting that anyway.

1 Worst case scenario we're up against Corv, but barring him we shouldn't have much of an issue facing down whoever was foolish enough to call us a coward.

Behind Door Number One...can i reconsider?

"Who called me a coward?"

The mass of your men parts or rather is shoved aside as Hrolf Half-Troll marches to the fore.

"I did."

The massive geat is your best navigator and if you believe the stories of Corv, is one of the dreaded berserkers...at least its not Corv?

Last chance to reconsider.

((Kekekek roll of 20. Anything lower and you would have faced Corv))

1 Blood to pay the taxes.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Well we can't exactly back down now that we called them out. When ((if)) we kick his ass, at least people will be forced to acknowledge our badassness.

[Aseaheru]

 It will be a shame to loose him though.
