A voice replies in thick, flat, emotionless Elven/Dragonese.  "Surrender, and
you will not be destroyed."  The message is repeated in about a half a dozen
languages, including American, Spanish, Japanese and Euro, and then repeated
again, as if in a loop.

About a dozen fishmen move to encircle the company, rather nasty energy
rifles brought to bear.
