Ashlynn looks on surprised. "Oh... I really need to learn to not trust everyone I guess." She looks over to the new people she just met, "You all are the good guys right?" As they move on, she keeps her bow ready and can't stop looking behind herself in fear of the guildites following them. 

Once away from the Duergar and bandit, she quietly says

"Not down here, the people that took Floon think he's Lord Neverember and probably would kill him, since they can't get a ransom." 

Cat has a thought. "Maybe we should let him guide us a little? Hands tied and gaged of course put them in front just incase of traps."

“Excellent thought. Let’s do it.”

Cat feels like maybe she should run, but she swallows her fear "Parley?"

Piers steps forward, shield in one hand and staff at the other. "A parley depends on them. We're taking Floon back one way or the other; I don't suppose you'd be inclined to surrender given how we've bypassed your defenses as easily as we did?"

She quietly says sarcastically to Piers  "You think?"

Drux is just standing at the ready, a quiet statue, waiting to see how this conversation unfolds.

Ashlynn looks around nervously. Under her breath she whispers, "A wizard? That sounds terrifying." She raises steps back behind the rest of her group. She calls out, "If you know who he is why not just let us take him?"

Piers gives Ashlynn a side eye. "They are a criminal organization - they do not 'give'. Honestly, the pet and the wizard is much more respectable odds than the three of them. I believe it's wise to accept their terms."

Idoza clenched her jaw and looked about ready to deny the insult that was tentacled horrors 'suggestion'. Yet just as her lips parted for what might've been a righteous fueled rebuttal, commentary from Piers gives her pause. Eventually with gritted teeth behind tightly closed lips, she nodded in agreement and took to the druid's side with shield and spear at the ready. "So be it. As Tyr as my witness, what wrong has been done shall be righted this day." She states; her voice taking on a more ethereal quality as divine power is released to empower herself and few others. 

(Not sure if you would allow it, but if able to before the fight officially begins, Idoza would like to cast bless on herself, Cat, and Drux as part of her speechfying above.)

Cat steps back a few. Short bow readied "I would rather Parley for his freedom" her eyes narrow like a cat pupils widen her canines look sharper (Shifting) ready to pounce, but more hopefully skewer a bird(brain) that's coming for them, with an arrow.

Then she thinks " Your right, morons never listen. Shame you are what you are we could of been friends. Just some food for thought...."

(Unless anyone disagrees, think we all do. Initiative time?)

(yeah, I’m good to throw down as per the mind flayer’s suggestion)

(Same)
