We go there to scare them, beat up men, women, and especially children. We take their food supplies, humiliate them, and do other indecent things, and then we burn the settlement to the ground. If they get angry and attack, event 1 will occur, but if they endure it, event 2 will occur.

We're going to take their buses.

You could have just said so right away. So, the following are participating: Udyolina, Gordian, Sarael, Tiberius, and Werner.

- I suggest we "talk" to the inhabitants of this island. They are already aware of our presence, so such an action is unlikely to harm us, and it will be useful to learn about their attitude towards us – much better than waiting for a possible attack.

I'm basically providing cover for the guys. If any of the barbarians start causing trouble or anything, I'll take action as needed.

- If we're going to negotiate, I'm with you. Just in case.

-Alright, let's get going.

Agreed, the following will go: Udyolina, Gordian, Sarael, Tiberius, Werner, and Tanasios.

For over half an hour, the group of mercenaries made their way through the thicket. They were lucky not to encounter any wild animals or venomous snakes. When they reached the settlement of the barbarians, they were not greeted very warmly. The women and children immediately hid in the huts, while the male warriors, of whom there were about twenty, pointed primitive spears at them and said something in an incomprehensible language, gesturing towards the weapons of the newcomers. Most of the spearheads were aimed at Tanasios. Despite their obvious hostility, the barbarians were afraid of the uninvited guests.

"They're quite amusing!" Tiberius remarked, glancing warily at the spears. "It seems unlikely that they pose any real threat. Alas, the once-great Khalehid civilization in these lands has declined and given way to primitive tribes of savages. What a pity."

Argyrius was not at all surprised by the reaction of the barbarians; he had expected something like this. Just as he had expected that these barbarians could only communicate in their primitive dialect. "It seems that my fellow countrymen often visit these islands for slaves," the warrior said thoughtfully, noticing how many spearheads were pointed at him, "and it's no wonder, the weapons of the local inhabitants leave much to be desired. And these barbarians hardly understand much about tactics..."

Werner steps forward and begins to speak. -- Brothers, we come in peace! The Creator has brought us to these lands so that we may bring you his wisdom! I humbly ask you to quell your anger, for it is in vain,-- Werner understood that the barbarians did not know his language and tried to explain himself with gestures: when he said "Creator," he pointed to the sky, when he said "us," he pointed to the group, and so on.

Pushing the warriors aside, a very old barbarian approached the mercenary. He leaned on a staff, wore a peculiar hat made of feathers, and was dressed in clothing made of leaves, dyed in various colors.
- You, creator, are not a threat, - he said to Werner, speaking in the continental dialect (a kind of language of international communication on the continent of Sethronomicon).
- You, kill and burn, - he said to Tanas, poking him with his staff. - I don't know you, - he said to the others. - All of you stand here, creator's son, come with me.

Werner follows the old man.

Meanwhile, Odd decided to sharpen his tusks and, at the same time, collect seashells on the shore.

However, the reaction of the barbarians surprised Tanas quite a bit. Not so much because of their prejudices against the islanders, but because of their attitude towards Werner. Throughout their acquaintance, the warrior had never seen anyone listen to the pilgrim, let alone expect the local barbarians to heed Werner's words.

Werner follows the old man.

The old man led Werner to his hut. It turned out to be only slightly larger than the others. Inside, on the floor, sat two more old men. Werner was also offered a place to sit on the floor.
- You came to talk about the Creator. We talk about the Great Sea, they say no, the Creator is everything. You will teach me to speak your language, give me this, - the savage handed Werner a worn book, on the cover of which one could still make out: "The Truths and Teachings of the Seven, Revealed by the One."
- Are you coming again to talk about the Creator? And why is the other one coming?

Meanwhile, Odd decided to thoroughly clean the boar tusks and, at the same time, collect some shells on the shore.

As Odd was cleaning the boar tusks, a large crab grabbed him by the finger.

Meanwhile, the other mercenaries are waiting for Werner's return. The savages, although they lowered their spears, still look at the newcomers with suspicion. At the same time, they are actively discussing Tanasia and pointing at him with their fingers.
