"For the record, I,... we don't WANT to kill them, but there have been many we haven't WANTED to kill," even beneath the mask, his eyebrows widen at 'wanted', "but business is business isn't it now? And so to business, on the table is your cooperation and the lives of YOURSELF and your comrades? You lot do like the term Comrades don't you? But yes, your life is being threatened, be quick about it." I THINK he's done?

Apparently, he ISN'T finished. He continues placatingly, "Oh yes, I know you're all gruff and hearty ponyfolk, forged in the crucible of hard work and determination, but killing is our business, and here uncharacteristically, we are offering to keep you not only alive but in possession of all your goods and resources. Believe me when I say," he chuckles "This is HIGHLY unanticipated AND unprecedented. By the way, I lied about using the gun, I just wanted you to visualize it. No, I will use the blade. It will be a pity."

And just for artistic effect, he removes his mask, so there's no ambiguity to his face. "You may have ascertained that I'm the quarter-master, and you are keeping our (cuz you're either hostages or temporary allies, he interjects mutteringly, to be heard but to imply that this is the salient point) Captain waiting."

"Oh, let's dispense with the funny-business. Silver, would you be a dear and inform these two ponies that I have just promised to end their lives if their Commissar has the foolish notion of NOT complying with our,... well let's not kid ourselves that this is a negotiation as much as it's a demand. Even still, we can fight it out here or we can fight it out where appears to matter most and at whom. Believe me, I never imagined myself doing 'business' with communists - thats one of the rules - but this," he trails off, still intent on stabbing the one with the rifle if he flinches, still in a ready action. I suppose a bluff check would be required to not spook him since I'm detailing how he might die.

I'm trying to assist your convoluted charisma check, in such as I can. There was no discussion, there was just you asserting out-of-character that you had it sorted; and then you phoned it in cuz (no bully) health concerns. And yes, I DO think I know better than ALL of you, and will assert so since no one is fucking posting.

Why would he be disheartened? If anything, there's been a multifold interest in it, and thats just amongst the players. And reminder, he can shut me down with the quickness. IDK what you're on about. I think you as players need to trust more in GM, if I'm being honest

To the orange and green pony, Kira simply tilts her head and bleps out her tongue with a confused expression on her face. Silver responds to them, "Знаешь, ты можешь спросить ее сам. Она, честно говоря, самое доброе, самое милое, самое невинное существо, которое ты, вероятно, когда-либо встречал. И да, она также очаровательна. Она не говорит на нашем языке, так что тебе придется говорить с ней на эквестрийском."

To Black Heel, Silver lets out a sigh of relief, and returns his warm smile back to him. "Good, I am glad to have you. I know you do not trust us fully as of yet, but we will show you that we can be. We will end this horror, save your crew, and get off this goddesses-forsaken island."

Kira smiles brightly back at the orange stallion, and waves at him. "Hello! What's your name? Mine's Kira."

Silver nods at Black Heel. "That is basic gist of plan. Our resident bat is our explosives expert, he converted explosive warhead of torpedo into improvised explosive device, and turned crashed plane's radio into remote detonator. We will use magic to weaken Traveler, then force explosive inside him and detonate it remotely. For dealing with monsters he summons, we took machine gun from crashed plane's turret. It fires too fast to be used while standing or moving, but when prone and crew-served it will prove very effective in tearing any monsters or demons to little bits."

Blackheel places his hoof to his chin
"Well, it sounds like you have some idea. I am skeptical if that will be enough, and more to the point, if it will let us get close enough. If this thing wakes up..." He shudders and shakes his head. "We must try."

The orange stallion's ears go back briefly, and he pulls his lips back to show his teeth.

In that his mask is off, Brie's disdain for the idea that "we're not ready to take on an Eldritch deity" is apparent by his very obviously raised eyebrow, suggesting only that he has contempt for the idea that anypone could operate from a position of inability.
No, this goes back to his training and experience, pertaining to the Row family and lineage. Would you like to hear it? I could spaghetti-dump it now like a pile of angel-hair pasta You don't know, but thats gonna be a thing, even tho I'll fucking do it even though it hurts my soul
As I was saying, Oddly enough, the Row family - which the present heiress "picked" Brie to be "hers" (with complications) - has lineage history with "a" monstrocity (whether it "was" the traveler or not, I leave that to GM, but it pertains to Brie's interest in having a Brief! conversation with the aforementioned) but AN monstrocity (one assumes you'll foregive/forego the use of "an" before monstrocity, it was just to provide emphasis).
Anyhoo, the whole point of this diatribe is to indicate that Brie ISN'T just being impatient (though there is that) when he swiftly pulls his revolver from it's sling/frame, points it in the air (yes, regrettably away from anyone) and fires off a shot.
"Splendid! Can we go now? I trust any necessary discussion can occur in transit."

"Incapacitating enough of its followers might physically weaken it to the point it'll be vulnerable," the griffon responds.

"Even large creatures are easy prey for the legendary bullet ants, if there's enough of them that is. If we're right on its vulnerability, our relative insignificance might even be an advantage."

That was my original plan, BUT I do not believe Commissar Blackheel would appreciate it, and I would rather keep our working relationship for the time being."

"Perhaps ants my feel confident in attacking being far beyond their comprehension, but the its easier not to draw their attention at all, lest the owner of the crawlspace come back with a can of DEET."

But what Brie DOES believe in:
"The ideal scenario of course is an operant authority entity, designed to increase the opportunities to it's participants. It resembles the Changeling philosophy, but without the compromise of personal autonomy. Let those who would establish themselves as 'primary movers' pave the way for the mass to enjoy the full fruit of the endeavor. It's a form of Socialism, but it's Nationalistic in it's focus," he says with a slightly knowing twitch
