Actually, it caused quite a ruckus.<br/>Having no longer to *attempt* furtivity, he strides onwards even more resolutely and relentlessly, his very gait expressing grim determination. He doesn't slow down as the defenders assemble before him, just grinding his teeth and growling audibly.<br/><br/>This is getting out of hand, clearly. Their best chance - trampling the first two defenders before others could come out - was lost and gone, all because of his ineptitude at "stealth"  maneuvers. And now they had to face FIVE of them, all ready and in formation. With no clue about their actual abilities, of course - were they just rookies, this would probably end up quickly and easily, but it seemed unlikely. This was probably going to be one hell of a fight... A grin greeted that thought. He LIKED though fights. A though fight was how he hoped to DIE, actually... but hopefully not right now, and for some greater purpose than the service of a mercenary company.<br/><br/>Thinking quickly, he examines the possibilities. There's absolutely no chance of persuading the opponents to leave the well, so the fight is inevitable. Maybe a little bluff could help him and Johan to get a little closer...? That could be of great help, of course. Also, they all seemed quite ... intimidated by Thygor's size. The large antipaladin is well aware that -probably- they're just overestimating him - despite the size difference, he has learned that a smaller but well-trained warrior (such as Johan, as he knows for personal experience) could well hold his ground against him. But still, their nervousness can possibly prove useful to his purposes...<br/><br/><span style="color: #40BF80">"Calm down, cutie"</span>, Thygor commences, gazing at the draconic girl.<span style="font-style: italic">Well, she truly <span style="font-weight: bold">is</span> cute</span>...<span style="color: #40BF80">"My human friend and I are here to recover what is ours<span style="font-style: italic">sss</span>,"</span>he hisses maliciously, without slowing down his stride.<span style="color: #40BF80">"Two fairiesss. They are hiding in your housssse. They belong to us<span style="font-style: italic">ssss</span>. Return them peacefully, and we'll have no need to shed your men's blood." </span><br/>During his little performance, Thygor manages to halve his distance from the opposing group, his dripping blade firmly in his clawed clasp, the long tongue darting and curling as he speaks...<br/><span style="font-style: italic">[<span style="font-weight: bold">Note</span>: His bluff is not intended to actually avoid the fight, rather to give him and Johan some extra time to approach without being charged/fireballed/etc. And please tell me they're not all the same level as Yumina  <img alt=":o" src="./images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif" title="Surprised"/> XD]<br/>[[<span style="font-weight: bold">Further note/question:</span> I suppose that Thygor fought alongside his companions long enough for them to already know that he is affine to Negative Energy, and that healing effects would harm him instead?]]</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/259536">Bluff!</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">22</span><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/259537">Intimidate, too!</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">15</span><span style="font-style: italic">(Little correction: I've just seen that Intimidation attempts on smaller-sized targets get a +4!
