[Lord of Ravens]

OK thanks DoN.

 

[Sweeney Todd]

Just so you guys know, I'll be on duty tomorrow and hence unable to post. So please wait a bit for the torture sequence and the answers

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

No probs Todd. We still have to find the man yet, plust I am sure we can have some fun with our lizzie friend in the cage

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

No posts?!

Come on, there is plenty to do. Show the wolves to the vault, hunt for the gem, find the human. I thought by this point I would be writing the discovery of the thief.

Also if MS & Vekarin could reply, Lesa & co could then go downstairs.

Nihilus - is there a reason why Sammael won't answer Rowhaine? He has talked to him twice now and been ignored.........plus Vekarin, can you invite us all in, so GoW can get posting.

 

[Zanos]

I still need something to do =/

 

[Trevy the Great]

Okay, I posted, DoN. We can go downstairs now.
As for Chapter 40, GoW wanted to invite you guys in, so I'm waiting on him.

I'm trying to pace for Todd.

 

[Fishhead Slackjaw Mcgee]

Cool, i have some freinds coming down to say hello! Now when you get there what do you want to do?

 

[TMS]

We're going to taunt you. :tongue:

 

[Ghouly]

I wanna pull your tail

 

[Fishhead Slackjaw Mcgee]

Well, you can if you want but he doesnt understand Empire. Verbal taunting simply wont cut it.

As for pulling my tail, in the lizardmen army book it describes that a NORMAL saurus warrior can CRUSH a mans RIBCAGE with his tail. A Vampire-hunter Scarveteran with an undying hatred for the undead is going to Seriously mess you up if you touch the tail!

 

[Ghouly]

I got a Lizard army I know their physical powers and A Scar Vet is no scarier then a Orc Big Boss or Chaos Champion.

@DoN When would a good time be for The Brood (Manruss and crew) to show up

 

[TMS]

Well, you can if you want but he doesnt understand Empire. Verbal taunting simply wont cut it.

Oh I'm sure that we'll think of something.

Let's see here..

1) Huakroataxa has a distinct disliking/hatred for the Undead
2) He is unarmed
3) Helena's ethereal
4) :lol:

Fortunately for Huakroataxa, Helena's not a spiteful individual. I dunno if I can resist having her pull Hua's tail around for just a little bit though.

 

[Trevy the Great]

If you want to get all technical, Vekarin has already demonstrated his ability to speak the broken bits of saurian that he's picked up over four millennia.
And that and he's not technically a vampire...

 

[Mr Nightwere]

May be away for a few days.

Q: does he understand any language, I think you said something about him only understanding some sort of, barbarian lizard speech.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Well make sure you come back as soon as you can Nightwere!

@ Ghouly - did you make the changes to your brood?

I will post later today us finding mr lizzie, we can then have some fun there has got to be a big stick Lesa can poke him with nearby

@ Gree - I know Todd is away for a couple of days, but in that time you can hunt down and find the human, so we can get ready for the torture bit when Todd is back.

@ Vekarin - not sure where GoW has got too? Ifr he doesn't post by this evening can you post? Khemri's advancement?

 

[Trevy the Great]

Yeah, no problem.

Edit: Hey DoN, are you going to post in Chapter 43?

 

[Ghouly]

its gonna be slow today

 

[Zanos]

I can already tell.

 

[Kaladas Harkon]

Actually, Huakroataxa only speaks Low Saurus; a battle-dialect that quite few non-Saurus speak; even other Lizardmen. The Slann's Skink attendants would know it, but most wouldn't.

 

[Trevy the Great]

Kaladas, all Lizardmen speak Saurian, what differs from race to race is the level of understanding of higher concepts (a Saurus wouldn't understand a discussion about philosophy or art, but would fit in perfectly in a tactical discussion) and the amount of vocabulary they would be able to maintain (a Skink could know enough to have an incredibly intelligent discussion with a human or elf, but a Kroxigor doesn't have much more vocabulary than that of a Warcraft III character).

 

[Fishhead Slackjaw Mcgee]

Vekarin: i have to disagree. The Curent lizardmen army book at least refers to each of the different races speaking different, although interchangable dialects.

Ghoulking: Agreed on the stats, but you would pull a big bosses or a Champions axe, would you?

As for poking with a stick, taunting ect I'm happy to go along with that. Huakroataxa's in for some shaming anyway, It'l really get his emo juices running

I just wouldnt recomend tugging his tail.

 

[Trevy the Great]

The language spoken by the Lizardmen is incredibly versatile and rich. Every member of the race, from the Mage-Priests to the Kroxigor is spawned able to understand the words and associated concepts needed to fulfill their role.

The book speaks of dialects, but it is implied that each dialect is simply the range of terms and the specific manner in which those terms are conveyed. After all, how could a Skink Preist convey the message of a Slann to a Saurus war-leader or give orders to a Kroxigor worker if they were all born with inherent knowledge of different languages?
In addition, the last book states that:

Although Saurian can be a complex form of speech, it is also a tongue that any of the Lizardmen can use. Particular types of Lizardmen use only what they need to effectively communicate in their arena within their society.

In short, all Lizardmen speak the same 'language' and can partially understand each other, but have very different areas of expertise that they have knowledge of.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Sorry - it was my shopping day, had to get food to feed the family!

I will post now.

 

[Trevy the Great]

Yes, yes you will.
Sorry for being so anal about posting, but we've been going nowhere fast as of late and I was kind of antsy to get started.
