You notice that adults of both orc and goblin peoples are stepping out into the streets to get a better view of this.

"An orc's honor?" Grimbo asks derisively.

Re: The Wastrel's Hope

Nodwin rubs his forehead.  "I think that it would be better if everyone would calm down.  I understand that honor is involved, and yes, Orcs do have their own honor system I am sure. But fighting over a female that has made a choice, without her even present is ridiculous. If you want to talk of honor, what about honoring her decision?"

In reply to Grimbo (msg # 178):

In a quiet aside: "Grimbo, there's no need to make this worse.  Let's see if Nodwin can convince these orcs to settle this peacefully -- or at least in private."

Re: The Wastrel's Hope

Turning to the merchant, "How much damage was caused, were things knocked over and dumped to the ground?  Can it be cleaned up and set right, or were your goods and stall destroyed?"

but my days baking is destroyed."

Re: The Wastrel's Hope

Turning back to the troublemakers, "What does your honor say about destroying an innocent baker's day's work?  Surely a set of truly honorable Orcs would find that a stain on their honor."

Waving a hand to indicate the neighborhood.  "Honor fights should stay between the individuals involved, they are best kept private. What does your honor tell you about your duty towards those uninvolved bystanders you have wronged today?."

Muurfash bows his head in shame,but not before backhanding

racist.

"The stall might cost a silver to repair, what was
left of my pies might have been a dozen copper,"


Ooc: she sounds honest 1 silver=$20 is the wage a carpenter would be paid, and she might make the same per day.

Re: The Wastrel's Hope

To the Orcs, "How about this, if you guys pay her for the damage, then I'll invite you into the tavern here and get you a drink. There is a very entertaining dart match you can watch."

Ooc: Is there a drinking age?  Would orc youths get ale or small beer, or something else?

Old enough to put a dog skull on a stake is old enough for ale.

Re: The Wastrel's Hope

"A drink is a drink.  Besides, you don't have to drink it with us if you don't want to.  You guys can get another table and just enjoy the darts.  There are some very smelly players on one of the teams to mock."
Shrugging and indicating the goblin merchant.
"Unless of course, you are afraid of new experiences like hanging out with humans and goblins?"

Mario re-slings his staff.

"Have you guys been warned about the Wastrel's ale?  Might want to hold your noses when you drink -- but it's cheap, and the first one's on Nodwin here."

sorry bout the stall M'am, but Glosso likes your pies and

Sadly shaking his head, "So orc honor isn't even worth 20 copper.  I would never have believed it.  Not the Orcs I used to know and hear stories about."

The orc glowers and wav3s to the others.<Green  >"Ain't no yuman
insults my honor! Boys, your lunch money!"</Green>
The other orcs grudgingly toss some coppers into the street.
"Now you see Glosso, you don't serve him nothin."
