"Bah, we already beat the god crystal last time and killed human minions. Now, you tell us what they do now and we smash them." Gruntor scratches himself while looking at the human.
Nasaar frowns at seeing the human still there in the morning. He listens to the others speak with the human and grimaces a bit. "So why you here bothering us?" Nasaar finally asks the human. "Even if we are fated to lose, we will not go down without a fight, so scamper along and leave us to do so if you are not going to help us."
The human raises an eyebrow at Gruntor's statement.
"Smashed a so-called god crystal, huh. That's quite some demonstration of intent."
Turning to Nasaar, he replies,
"I am not bothering you. I am thinking how to avoid a massive destructive war. Whether the cost of advice to you is something I can handle. Wherther you are capable enough to make use of my advice. Whether you are determined enough to stop this war..."
He pauses for a while before adding another sentence,
"Or whether killing you all right here and now is the easiest solution."
"I have no troubles stopping the war, as it is unlikely we can kill off all of you humans." Nasaar says with a frown for the human. "What advice do you have to stop this war?" He simply ignores the last bit, as he doesn't see how a single human, no matter how bothersome, could kill them all. It isn't like killing the three of them here would stop the war, or have any real affect on it in the long run.
The human remain in a relaxed pose by the campfire.
"Kill of all the humans, heh? How adorably naive. My advice: to understand the why the humans are currently unstoppable, and then the paths to stop the war will become apparent."
He takes another bite from his supplies before continuing.
"Oh, and you are mistaken. Killing you can stop the war or affect it in the long run."
"Because the humans have gods on their side of course! If however, you are not satisfied with the asnwer, you will have to search for it and discover it yourself. If you survive that is."
"Kill the gods! A very brave and direct idea! I guess the problem is in how you are planning to achieve that. Killing the humans, not so fond of."
The human stretches his arms out before rising to his feet.
"But an acceptable answer. So if you can show me you are strong enough, I will honestly answer of a few of your questions directly. It will help you to get to your goal."
"How we defeat human gods?" Nasaar asks, standing up now as well. "Humans too many kill all, kill gods not good either. Need own gods to balance me thinks..." He looks over the human. "You know such things?"

"I do know. But until you show me you are strong enough to have the slightest chance, I am not going to tell."
"You look like human, but you talk like... Maker of Deals and Bargains. How can we show you strength.", the firebolg asks, tiring of the round about talking of their visitor.
((Not sure if he'd have run into a hag, but that's what I had in mind, and thought that Maker might be a way the firbolg would refer to a hag or other fey in their stories. It probably doesn't often end well for the foolish firbolg who strikes the deal or bargain in the stories.))

"If you'd run in screaming last night, we for sure would have had a fight... but you wander in, knowing one of us, who doesn't seem to like you that much, and you just talk and talk and talk. Not used to humans that do that. Humans that yell 'Death to the monster', we know how to handle them."
The firebolg stands up.
"But if you want to fight, suppose that can happen."

"Agreed." Nasaar says with a shrug. He moves apart from the others, so they are not grouped together. As he does so an eldritch canon assembles on his shoulder and starts to move. "Seems we could have handled this easier if you just came in swinging..."

Gruntor remains silent at the humans last words, but his hand taps the pommel of his sword as he gives the human the stink eye.

"Oh, and you are mistaken. Killing you can stop the war or affect it in the long run."
"So why are they unstoppable, and how do we stop the war?", the firebolg asks bluntly.

"Survive... survive you?", the firebolg asks, not sure if the human is back to making casual threats.
"So kill human gods, then kill humans."

"Plenty strong, but what you wants us show. Killed giant already. We could bash you about a bit? that ok?"
"Two giant.", the firebolg corrects, cracking his knuckles as flames lick up around his hands.

The human responds.
"You can certainly try."

"For a such an accomplished and group of monster race folks, you are surprisingly cautious. Isn't a fight the most obvious way to show strength?"
"If you'd run in screaming last night, we for sure would have had a fight... but you wander in, knowing one of us, who doesn't seem to like you that much, and you just talk and talk and talk. Not used to humans that do that. Humans that yell 'Death to the monster', we know how to handle them."

Initiative is 10...
Gruntor smiles. He likes this part better anyway and thinks the human is odd.
