"I think he means live collateral, dwarf. Something more than just an item of personal value. He wants us to give him people so that if we kill him or any of his crew, the people we gave them get killed."
lol, I read all the books, and I gotta say, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!
If you didn't like the books, then you won't like the movie. Save your money.
"How bout a challenge? If ye can shoot me from there, I will give ye my magic shield. If ye can't, ye take the 1900 gold as full payment. Deal?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. Could you fill me in, please? What's happening, here?" Also, what do you guys think as far as the name goes? Damascus or Demetrius, what's better?
Hyper, Are you playing a he or a she? Read the last 3 or so pages, and you should be caught up.
*Sound of dice rolling* Percy: "Do ya take me for a fool? I wouldn't make a deal like that if me life depended on it, but what if I were to shoot him? *points at Crona* Same deal, different target, deal?"
This sucks, I found out my cat had 7 kittens, but one of them died cause they're in the couch, and the couch is in bad shape. Found the poor thing caught in a broken coil, kinda made me sad. Tried moving them, but the momma just put them right back, so I hope I don't find anymore of them dead...
*Sound of dice rolling* Percy: "WHO YA CALLIN' LANDLUBBER, YE LANDSMEN!? Ye can try to goad me all ye want, but I'm callin' the shots round 'ere, savvy?"
Hyper, Are you playing a he or a she? Read the last 3 or so pages, and you should be caught up.
A he. Gender's on the char sheet...
"Do ya take me for a fool? I wouldn't make a deal like that if me life depended on it, but what if I were to shoot him? *points at Crona* Same deal, different target, deal?"
"No deal like that will be made," Demetrius says immediately. "A ship is worth far less than a life, and seeing your ship, it's worth much less than 1900 gold as well. You are trying to rip us off, and I'm not inclined to fall for it. Threaten any of my friends again, and it will be the last thing you ever do, understood? Now, I'm going to offer you 2,000 gold for passage on this vessel. If you value your life, the lives of your family and crew, or any of your extremities in the slightest, you are going to accept that very generous offer." *crosses fingers* +12 Intimidate, you've got to be worth something ya hear me?!
Percy: "Well, I'm sorry ya feel that way, but without us, ye can't even get on the ship! All we 'ave to do is sit 'ere, and ye can't do nothin'! Now, do we 'ave a deal, or do I just leave ye high and dry?"
Percy: "Well, I'm sorry ya feel that way, but without us, ye can't even get on the ship! All we 'ave to do is sit 'ere, and ye can't do nothin'! Now, do we 'ave a deal, or do I just leave ye high and dry?"
"See, sir, that's where you're sorely mistaken. When you say 'us', you mean you and your crew, correct? Unfortunately for you, I'm certain that your crew will be more than able to get us wherever we need to go without you. I need the ship and her crew for passage. The captain isn't strictly necessary. That's why there's a first mate, after all. So really, there's nothing to stop me from removing your head from your shoulders right now and giving that to your crew as payment."
"except ya can't reach me 'ead and me crew is loyal! besides, we don't even 'ave a first mate, savvy? I'M CAPTAIN BY ELECTION!"
Did you roll again?
"Your crew may be loyal," he says after a while. "And I suppose that they do need a leader. So maybe I won't kill you. But there are some things you can lose more valuable to you than life. We're talking about a storm giant, terrorizing innocent people. Killing innocent people! If you won't help us just because you want a little more gold to line your pockets with, then you're helping her. And as far as I'm concerned, helping one of my enemies makes you my enemy as well." He picks up the halfling by the collar of his shirt and hauls him up to eye level. "And you do not want to be my enemy. I can assure you of that."
Percy: "Oh, but ain't the issue, is it? Ya can't get at me, and me crew ain't budgin' for a bunch o' lubberly swabs, ESPECIALLY ye tall folk so *strongly pronouncing each word* DO WE 'AVE A DEAL!?"
