If they were nearer troll territory, the people would be terrified that the daylight would no longer afford them protection from the dreaded beasts. Of course, once he found a good number of them he'd march them all over the place and really give the peasantry something to be afraid of.<br/><br/>Strutting like the glorious peacock that he was, Rumplestiltskin grinned as the terrified villagers cowered and cringed. Surely this was the end for them! But far from it, that is, provided that they capitulated to his demands which, all things considered, weren't all that unreasonable. The menfolk would serve in his armies and their loved ones would receive his protection. Surely with him as their leader, they would be less likely to be slain in battle, as well. When it came to that or watching their town burn to the ground and an army of monsters feasting upon any survivors, it wasn't exactly a hard choice to make.<br/><br/>"But I'm looking for REAL talent to join my ranks. Someone worthy of a commanding position, someone I can rely on to do the things I can do but might not be in the mood to." he boasted. "You filthy commoners are worth only what your petty desires can do for me when I'm in the mood to make deals. I need a serious apprentice, a mage, or a beast with a brain. Can not ONE of you sad little sheep even pretend to be what I seek?" he taunted them for his own amusement. Surely anyone nearby would see the unnatural weather phenomenon and either turn and run in the opposite direction as fast as they could or, if they were anything like what he was describing, be too intrigued not to investigate.
