Country lore 101 or poetic yeoman club talk, you decide: "Farmer (to Farmer): In a time before time somebody attacked somebody."
Also, human hero is human hero:
You draw the copper crossbow with your Left hand.
You draw the +bronze shield+ with your Right hand.
You: Whosoever would blight the world, preying on the helpless, fear me! I call you a child of the night and will slay you where you stand.
Gaval Irolisman, Human Lye Maker vampire: Fool! I've defeated many fearsome opponents!
The flying +copper bolt+ strikes The Human Lye Maker vampire in the upper body, tearing the muscle and tearing the liver through the cassowary leather robe!
The Human Lye Maker vampire jumps away from The flying +copper bolt+!
Gaval Irolisman, Human Lye Maker vampire: I must withdraw!
The Farmer scrambles out of the Human Lye Maker vampire's flight path!
The Farmer scrambles out of the Human Lye Maker vampire's flight path!
Eslo Hathurciro, Lasher: I cannot just stand by. This might require an answer.
Gaval Irolisman, Human Lye Maker vampire: I must withdraw!
The flying +copper bolt+ strikes The Human Lye Maker vampire in the left lower leg, chipping the bone through the alpaca wool chausse!
A ligament has been torn and a tendon has been torn!
The Human Lye Maker vampire falls over.
Tuma Ronikasi, Crossbowman: This is my fight too. This might require an answer.
The flying +copper bolt+ strikes The Human Lye Maker vampire in the upper body, tearing the muscle and chipping the right false ribs through the rope reed fiber cape!
A tendon in the right false ribs has been torn!
The Crossbowman punches The Human Lye Maker vampire in the left lower arm from behind with his right hand, bruising the muscle through the cassowary leather robe!
Gaval Irolisman, Human Lye Maker vampire: I yield! I yield!If this human hero would now initiate a talk with another vampire like that, it would be the pot calling the kettle black.

Too bad it was not my character who got the killing blow (travelled quite a bit for it and even stopped for the night in tree-hugger territory on the journey there! :X) on Gaval but that thief did not get to bask in "his" glory at all. :>
Now the Oracular Planet is the hero's oyster.
