Valen looked at the man and let out a loud laugh. Smirking and looking at both him and the goblin, Valen shrugged and held the kindling in his hand, shrugging. Setting it down to the fire, the elf stepped closer to the guard and waved a finger in the air. "You shouldn't say that to someone that commands fire, acid, lightning and frost. You might end up zapped, frozen, covered in burn scars and molten." He smirked a bit and leaned closer.<br/><br/>"But surely you are an important enough man that your employee will come look for you. One incompetent, bribed guard that couldn't even do a simple job of offing a halfling miss and blaming it on the elf. Who failed to realize<em>he was being followed</em>by fey and<em>leading them to the goblin cave</em>, and even more funnily,<em>who decided to volunteer it to the people set against his employee that he doesn't know anything anyway.</em>"<br/><br/>The elf let out a sadistic laugh and then raised his hand, its surface turning green. "Observe." He pressed his hand against a log set aside from the fire, squeezing on it tightly. Immediately, smoke began to rise, and the wood began to smell, and drip. He grinned at the man quietly, and then spoke like a lover's tone.<br/><br/><em>"Acid Splash."</em>He practically licked his lips and smiled. "You'd be amazed what all people are willing to admit when they feel their<em>tender places</em>begin to melt. Starting with the toes, then moving to fingertips, little by little, places that wont make you faint but that will hurt enough to make you aware I mean business." He narrowed his eyes. "Actually I almost hope you will be stupid enough to think I won't do it." He tossed the partially molten piece of wood to the fireplace, looking at the man, holding his hand out towards the man's shoulder. "But we could always<em>shake on it</em>and agree to disagree." He grinned predatorily.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I seriously have to probably invest a rank or two in intimidate at some point with the amount of intimidating the wizard is doing. ^^" My apologies if it sounds out of place or weird. He's read enough bad tales about how 'evil wizards' can be, he likes playing the archetype to his advantage if necessary.</div></div>
