Can you understand the skull-rending crash of rock on rock that might be an Earth Elemental's native tongue? or can it tone that down a bit? Can it properly understand you, outside of gestures for "Go there, smash troll"?
if we have communication, then we can get to the heart of the matter. The rocky, perhaps molten or crystalline heart of the matter, in this case.
then you can get with >>5331802
Some suggestions.. can you do anything nice for an Elemental, if their mind (for lack of better term) has a subjective idea of what a nice thing is?
No, i don't mean shape stone+stone to flesh.
Lets try gifts in return? get your hands on a mineral sample that only comes from a far-off land.. (ask a wizard.. freakin wizards, always getting around) and offer up this choice bit of shine as a snack or personal decoration, however Tall, Dark and Rocky wants to play it.
Be quick to praise a task done well, though try to keep it honest. This could be a heartfelt thanks with great rejoicing from a quiet village saved from a dangerous flood, or a quick smile and friendly slap on a stony shoulder before leaping back into the fray.
and oh god be careful about pissing it off.. unless you want your every night filled with terrors about being swallowed by the very earth.. until it happens. |
