As they drew near to the merchant they could see that he was sitting in the center of his stall and holding his heads between his hands; seemingly troubled. His stall was literally getting bucketed in the rain and the water was rising to the level of his knees, but not quite there yet.
Elruadar spoke to him, "Well my troubled merchant, look not worried any more, for the Companionship Of the Three, as I've taken the liberty to name it, has come to help; if my fellows find another name suitable they will say so themselves to you. Tell me, has no one in this village offered to help you yet!?"
Uth and Hudd moved uneasily in the puring rain as Elruadar spoke the name for what was supposedly the name of their fellowship. They had never heard it before and did not know what was on Elruadars mind. But for the moment; while Elru was speaking, they did not say anything; rather, they were deep n thought as to how to help this poor guy.
And so they stood in the wet air, waiting for the merchant to guide them to the trouble.
Uth adjusting some of his gear to lessen the tired muscles sternly asks the merchant, " Look up will you! ". You were addressed nicely and I am getting sick of this rain. I hear you have troubles with your cart, could you explain in more detail the troubles and how we can be of service. If not you can sit on your stool and get gangrene with all this rain!
ooc I know my intimadate skill not really high but its worth a shot might jolt him back to reality and gain some composure
Ooc: Ok so who is the party leader? Ryorst I think it would be you. I hope we can figure that out before a week goes by. I don't really care who is leader as long as we are posting.
OOC: Me? Really? Uh, if you're sure. Great, this means I'll have to dig up what our actions are this round. Oliron, if I'm leader, would you mind picking up as treasurer? I'm not sure where the last time I posted the party pool, but I know the most recent posting of it is up to date.
OOC: I think now we're turning around to wipe out this next group of orcs just like we did with the first one, while we take on the orcs, the healer can heal himself, Eth, and then you. After we take out this group, then we all need to charge the lead orc as fast as we can.
