Jenna thought fast.  If these people hadn't at least tried to make diplomatic overtures to the locals after all this time, they couldn't be too interested in peace, and her people were more than capable of giving them war.  But she didn't want to sink to their level, either.<br/>"Horo," she called over to the whimsical one.  "Get your head together and get back over here.  They think you're trying to get behind them."<br/>"The human fisherfolk of the village are your neighbors.  What happens to them extends it's effects to all on the island and beyond."  She kept her eyes mostly on the polite lizard man.  If he could be courteous in a hostile situation, it seemed to her he was probably the more intelligent as well as the more disciplined.  "The magic of Valkur permits me to facilitate communication between your people.  Join us in entering the burial ground and retrieving the lost villager.  We can return him to the village together and establish diplomacy between your people."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">d20+9-10=9</div></div>
