I have no wish to fight either that abishai, the dragons that circle above, or Tiamat herself. I am attempting to learn the rules of this place, rules that you seem to already be familiar with. Where I come from there is a tradition of trial by combat, one tenet of which is that once the melee ensues no others may be called upon to render assistance. I merely wished to find out if the same rules applied here. I had heard that devils were creatures of Law, and had thought that they might be bound to the same notions of honor. I now find this is not true. The creature admits that if combat were entered then he would feel free to summon any resources at his disposal to win. This is valuable information to me, even if it were already known to you, and I will be careful to not assume that the conventions of fair trial apply here as I know them. Since the number of those who might oppose us is legion, it would seem that combat of any sort here is incredibly ill-advised."<br/><br/>"The coins are no matter. Though I have only the currency of my homeland, you are welcome to it." He digs into a pouch at his belt and produces a handful of coins. They are a mixture of ivory and gold, mostly depicting columned buildings or stylized symbols of grape leaves and other plants.<br/><br/>Marcus scans the lakeshore as far as his vision will stretch to either side. "No vessel that I can see. I would gladly pay more to rent even a raft. My kind are not known for our ability to swim, and with my armor a straight trip to the bottom seems likely. Perhaps we can at least walk a ways to find the point of shortest crossing."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Looking around for anything, even a piece of driftwood, to help keep him afloat. I'm pretty sure Marcus isn't going to be able to make that swim unless he ditches his armor.<br/></div></div><br/>
