Let’s not make our children or the merchants more fearful again. They may need more time after what happened, while I would like to ask them for information, they may not receive our presence very well

[Shadowclaw777]

Anything who doesn’t respect ourself and that of the manner that we just want to live with other humans shall be known as speciesists!, we just want to benevolently rule you and party

C

Have a group of humans from the townsfolk introduce themselves and their leader (us) before we talk to them, to make them not immediately scared!

Yes, this sounds like it should work, hopefully

[Strik3r]

C+?: Appear before the merchants in the most polite of manners and engage in friendly conversation... You know, rather than get straight to interrogating them... Might help considering how awful we  have turned out to be at communicating with people...

+1. Getting specifically introduced as the leader may help somewhat.

Yeah it would also help if we'd not be a total, haughty bitch about it. I feel like some basic humility would do us a world of good here. You know, make ourselves as nonthreatening as possible, bow our head down, tuck those wings in, just so that we don't immediately scare off anyone we try to talk to... Just a thought...

Yes to this

[Devastator]

C, but nay to not showing ourselves off.  We're a dragon, why act like we're any less than we are?

Having someone introduce us is perfectly acceptable.

Last time we didn’t focus on looking/acting non threatening, a bald was drawn at us

[Kilojoule Proton]

Cautious vote for C. Let's hope ZENDRAKIEL isn't actually the TONGUE-TIEDEST of dragons!

[Strik3r]

but nay to not showing ourselves off.  We're a dragon, why act like we're any less than we are?

Because... Getting humans to see us as anything other than a marauding beast, takes us to act as if we see them as equals... Even if we don't think that way. That would be MANIPULATION of course! A required hallmark if we want to be the "TONGUE-TWISTIEST"! Only a fool always speaks the truth... No, we want to act in a way that'll make them do and think what we want them to!

[Superdorf]

You express your intentions to your secretary, who's taken to hanging about the gloomier corners of the mead-hall. He scurries off to explain things to the merchants: a few minutes later, you make your triumphant appearance!

Things go better this time!

After some trepidation on the merchants' part, you manage to convince them that you're nothing like the dragons they know... if you're to believe their claims, southern dragons are rather brutish creatures. The merchants express surprise that no knights-errant have attempted to slay you yet.

(You quickly change the subject.)

The next couple hours are mostly small talk, but you're able to glean a few things. The merchants trickle by here year-round to purchase cod and local craftsmanship, but the summer is an especially busy time here for them-- fresh mackerel is a hot commodity! They typically pass by the neighboring hamlets to peddle a couple things, then hasten back to sell at the city of Hamefast before the mackerel can spoil.

...turns out, the old Baron technically held sway over a couple of those hamlets. You might have some nearby territory to claim.

Besides that, you garner a bit of extra gossip about the surrounding regions. The local wood bandits are brash lately. The rain is heavy this year. There's more knights-errant around than usual. Old Hamish took in a blood-stained castle guard the other week-- the poor man couldn't speak a word.

Interesting stuff! The merchants seem pleased by your interest... if a bit nervous.


1250 AD, Midsummer

As the merchants file out of the city gates, you coil restless on your HOARD. The mead-hall roof is fixed, the doors are nice and wide, and you're feeling a rare craving for movement.

A) Time to start digging that tunnel down!
B) Let's go take a proper hold of those hamlets!
C) There's gotta be some ships you can go raid, right?!
