My argument would be that it's easier and takes less time to teach an existing language than to try and invent a new one.

I would have to second that, I'm afraid.

Creating an entirely new language is probably beyond the scope of the Expedition's expertise or available time. Code signs or such is fine, so long as its limited, but an actual language is a bit too much effort.

It's an idea :D Like I said, Kuzan's probably going to be teaching Dieter anyway, and we have at least two folks fluent in Sri Raji (maybe more, donno). But regardless, it'd be handy to have some sort of language that's VERY obscure in these parts. Like so obscure as to be virtually unknown.

Another offer:

HMmm Ulsaon could teach everyone the Common Tongue of Faerun or CHondonthan of Faerun. Any takers?

Her languages spoken are Faerunian: Common, Chondonthan.
RL languages : HIgh Mordentish, Vaasi, Pharasian, Akiri, Balok

Also as most spellcasters : Draconic.

Thought it would be practical to know a few languages ;)

Well, whatever the case, it might be handy to have some kind of language to use! Then we can forge all our secret plans right in the face of the enemy and the enemy will be none the wiser! :D

Meanwhile, have a picture:

Not my best work, but I kind of got stumped on where to go in some places without starting all over. We'll see what I do with the next time I draw him.

It's good practice for her! :lucas:

Also, well, in a place where men and women who aren't related aren't supposed to be seen in public together, Charles figured it would be better not to have a foreign man (especially one who speaks no Pharazian) approach a local woman until the ice has been broken at least a little bit.

I hope you're not too disappointed that this isn't quite the surprise expected. :wink:

All right, so Neo had a useful idea when we were RPing haggling with Faruq just now...Otto has a +14 bonus on Diplomacy checks all told, so if anyone wants to use him as an intermediary for their business dealings in this scene, just lemme know and I can make the opposed discount rolls for you.

Oh, I got the Diplomacy covered. What Charles needs is your Appraisal ability!

Okay folks, Midterms over, hopefully will be picking up the pace now. (I know, I've been threatening this for ages.)
