It seems our noble band lacks tongues. Good. I could do with making this trip without a headache.

Don't count on it.

You are all children.

Don't call me a child *spits near Theseus' foot*

Spitting is the mark of a child, Child.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

False. Paralysis.

In looking at this group of children and half-wits, I can only surmise that Minos is punishing me for something. This motley crew cannot possibly be expected to succeed.

*picks up canteen* There is more strength than the physical. Theseus @ 18/3/2013 21:06 Ajax @ 18/3/2013 19:18 What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. False. Paralysis. If you don't gain any knowledge from being paralyzed once then you're as stupid as you're arrogant.

Obviously you did not gain any knowledge from whatever brain injuries you've sustained. Do not talk to me again.

Wilt Silverstone @ 18/3/2013 21:37

Maybe it is for being a pompous ass

If by "pompous ass" you mean "hero and mightily capable swordsman and adventurer," then I certainly agree.

Urk @ 18/3/2013 21:39

Fool, Minos feared your uprising, he sent you to a campaign of futility!

Your insults only betray a lack of wit. I shall succeed in this quest, with or without the help of this bumbling assortment. And if Minos truly has attempted to curse me, rest assured that he shall live to rue such a mistake!

As for you, stone man, I feel that the gods have finally smiled upon me and seen fit to grant me a worthy addition. I beg you, do not let yourself be led astray by the mewlings of this rabble.

Boastful words mean nothing, especially when issued from behind a mask. I am the best chance for this group's long-term survival, and you would do well to respectfully remember that.

And now we have a prissy fussbudget accompanying us. I recommend that you learn to keep up, woman. This expedition promises to be treacherous, and I will not be held back to mourn a broken fingernail.

Theseus @ 19/3/2013 17:47 And now we have a prissy fussbudget accompanying us. I recommend that you learn to keep up, woman. This expedition promises to be treacherous, and I will not be held back to mourn a broken fingernail. Sir, are you calling me prissy? I think you have me mistaken for some of these other minions around here. I, sir, am not of the prissy nature, and I would suggest you refrain from calling me as such.

Prove your mettle, and I shall withdraw the comment. Until then, the grandiose nature of your words betrays a tendency towards the prissish.

Queen Genevieve @ 20/3/2013 10:26

Sir, you will not need to worry about me proving my worthiness, I am quite sure, in time, that my knowledge and know-how will show you that I am more than capable. Much more capable then some of the minions that are around. I would advise you, that you should not use words that you have no idea of their meanings, it really makes you look quite incompetent.

I agree. Your usage of "then" instead of the appropriate "than" in the second sentence of that quote makes you look quite incompetent, indeed - to say nothing of your gratuitous abuse of the noble comma.

Moreover, where are you from, pray tell? Minos is our only liege. I have seen his Queen, and you are not her. By claiming the title of Queen, you either betray yourself as a foreigner with no real influence in these lands, or you expose yourself as a fraud. Which is it?

I recommend that we test the fish on a weak or useless member of the expedition. Wilt would probably be the best option.
