The Stolen Candle - Chapter 2

Prepares an armor spell to help protect tip if needed.

Tipolei raises his empty hands, Tipolei just want speak. Me want understand what happened at village...

They consult, the leader of the smaller camp and that leader of this larger camp.

"Dav killed."

Clearly a bright bunch.

Tipolei slowly takes another step, Tipolei kow Dav dead. Me sorry for that. Me want to know, you know who killed Dav ? Why Dav was at village ?

They crowd up against the wall, anxious, menacing.

"Dav killed because we hungry!" A mighty roar comes up from the cannibal army.Dozens of bullets, arrows, even a few rocks pelt into Tipolei. Which isn't really threatening.

What do you do?

Tipolei continiues speaker, maybe a little louder, as if nothing was happenning. Except he's trying to take as much space as possible to make sure no stray bullet or arrow hits his friends... So you all killed Dav? To eat him? That not be nice!! Tipolei waits a few seconds to see if they'll stop when they realize they are doing no damage, and also he doesn't want to charge leaving Kyron unprotected behind him...

"Tear him apart!" the leader yells, heedless of the juicers resistances so far.

The crowd leaps over the barricade and swarms toward Tipolei.

Kai swoops down buffeting the area with wind as he pulls up to hover over the ground and roars.

"Use your words or I won't either."

Time to blow 'em up! Chay already in place on Echo figures this will be the last of their courage ...if any are left that is.

Ben rushes in at top speed, armor up, and begins to push Tip back behind him and away. (No sword yet.)

Armors up Tipoli, Ben and himself.

Woo Hoo got a raise !
This is mega armor

Chay launches two rockets into the barricade as they rush Tipolei. The carnage is immediate and devastating. Kai hovering in the area is buffeted by a gore tinged shock wave. When the smoke clears, the D-Bees advance has stopped and while their numbers have basically not been affected, dozens are dead and their morale is severely affected. Those near the dragon are also cowed.

The leader looks around and says, "You no take candle!" But his followers are not moved by the powerful mantra.

Pushing Ben aside, Tipolei takes a few steps foward...
Tipolei don't care about candle! Me just want you to leave village allone !!

The coalbald leader points at Tipolei, and yells, "We leave! Go other way. Find food there. We no go town again!"

What do the rest of you do?

Tipolei waits a few seconds before speaking, to make sure his team is ok with what he'll say...

If you go and no come back, if you leave village alone, we let you leave, we let you live...

"Tip, if you have a clever idea to smooth things over, do it now. Otherwsie, we need to get out of here,"]
Ben says.

They won't be back, they won't bother the town again. I think we made a BIG enough impression on them.

Chay pats the missile launcher and snickers, pleased at how things turned out.

Let's have Tipolei roll Intimidation. See what happens.
