Harron shrugged with a roguish grin. "We rarely get visitors here." he responded as if that explained everything. "Come then, let us share a meal and stories. Perhaps we will come to an understanding as brothers, if not we can always cross blades later." The bearded man did sheathe his scimitar and motioned towards for Valdis to join before taking a plate from nearby the fireplace with some leftover meat roasted from some small animal.<br/>"As for the girl, she's not a guest, she's property. Yours if you want, dress her as you will. Where I come from captives and slaves aren't treated with more dignity than any other object owned. As for you Traven, I'd like some words with our new friend. I'd prefer if you see if the others survived. If they can't be helped, put them out of their misery, if they are to be saved bring them in. As for the corpses... I'd rather they not start to stink or lure beasts here. Oh, do stay where we can hear you though. We don't want Valdis here to get the wrong idea." As far as the wandering warrior could tell, Harron was truly concerned with the state of his soldiers, or bandits, or whatever. However, Valdis demonstrating his threat to them made him a more immediate concern he wanted to address, let him be friend or foe.<br/><br/>As for the girl, she first gave Valdis a cold stare, then when she was discussed, she just spat and looked away from the men. With her rescuer apparently getting more friendly with the bandits, she gave up on talking back or trying to interject.<br/>If Valdis won't stop him, the bandana wearing bandit grudgingly accepts the orders of his leader and leaves the room to inspect the bodies of his fallen fellows, making sure to stay out of Valdis' reach as he passes him.<br/><br/>"So." Harron eventually addressed Valdis again, taking a bite from another piece of the same meat he offered. "Ever considered putting that sword to your own benefit rather than selling it? Some of the boys you fought were mercenaries formerly, but their employers grew too fat and lazy, and decided that their own men needed no payment."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Dice</div><div class="spoiler_body">Based on how you wish to proceed, a social/charisma-based skill check will be required. So far Harron seems to be not as easily intimidated as the previous bandit. You can break negotiations at any time of course and resume attacking too.</div></div>
