Thank you very much @m7600 for this unexpected journey (Tolkien reference fully intended), and everyone else for participating.
I'm pretty sure Antimatter prepared those charm grenades so carefully that the prisoners will get back to the sheriff and turn themselves in before the effect wears...
"Then stop lying, show those Treants who you really are and finally tell us what's going on here!" I bellow at the dwarf and use his shock to try to grab his staff.
And the origin of that quote goes even further back, it's a trope with a long history. I only knew it from Asterix comics (from the 60s. No, I'm not that old, but the books are).
In English they translated it with "Join the army, they said. See the world, they said."
Apparently Goscinny...
I stare at the ranting Treant and notice the moving shrub with the ferret. Now I know where our Rogue Stone is. I consider throwing the potion to stop Nimran, but suddenly my desire to come to an understanding with these stubborn fanatics has vaporized.
"Something is wrong here. You're the only...
I look at the Treant who speaks Common and grab the Potion of Clarity before he can reconsider.
I suspect @Antimatter still inside the tower and try to buy him some time for whatever he's up to. And where in Kalros' name is that Rogue Stone?!
"Thanks for the potion, although you might need it...
I suddenly remember the plan that we talked through at the Tavern earlier. Idiot Krogan! A bit late to disguise as a squirrel now or plant acorns, so that leaves only one option. I pull out the botany book, open it at the marked page and begin to sing:
Oh great Treants, please take a look
At...
"I have been standing here where you can see me. Stop making excuses and trying to manipulate me. You need the stone more than I do. If I remember correctly, one of your people walked through the portal that just collapsed. Alone. So, are we going to have a staring contest, or are we going to...
I keep talking to the Treants, hoping to draw their attention to me while the others do whatever invisible people do... I don't notice the ferret.
"I took food. All creatures take food. Does this forest belong to you? Do the squirrels and birds need your permission too, if they eat berries and...
I grow tired of waiting and watching. I stand up to my full height, spread out my arms to show that I carry no weapons and walk slowly towards the circle of trees. I trust my companions to either help me or get away fast if this won't work.
I try to assume a firm but non-threatening stance and...
You can revisit the Twisted Rune building in the Bridge District (BG2:EE) after leaving it.
You need another Rogue Stone for every time you want to enter, but it means you don't need to fight everyone at once if it's too difficult (which it often is, particularly if you care about no or minimal...
I'm beginning to lose my patience as I can't see what our spies are doing. I try to pretend I wasn't startled when a raven landed on my shoulder.
"Ah, @Blackraven , glad to see you decided to join us" I whisper to him. "Any chance you can speak their language? I was thinking to just run and...
I stay back at our hiding place, watching for signs of movement, not sure where our invisible companions have gone.
"Let's hope they don't do anything rash, the Treants might not ask about our intentions first." I mutter to the others under my breath. I drop our bags quietly and get in a...
(In a low voice)
There, do you see it? The circle of trees wasn't there when I left, but they look just like the ones that blocked the way. I didn't notice the odd light then, either.
Let's withdraw a bit into the underbrush before they notice us. I'd suggest we send someone small or invisible...
I had hoped the nimble ferret @Nimran would join us, but he's probably still afraid because of that stolen shrub.
Now don't call me prejudiced against people with oppositely charged particles, but can you guarantee your restraint, @Antimatter , or will you look like this when you scout...
I'm big and strong, I can carry all the heavy equipment we might need. Can also carry some of you fragile creatures when necessary.
Not sure if you trust me carrying our food and water supplies. Apparently someone has been putting up posters warning people of my tasty, wholesome and warming...
