Warning: TLDR post
Alright, this just doesn't seem right to me at the moment. From what I can gather so far is this:
The caravan lost a wagon. They went looking for the wagon in the direction they believed it went missing in which is xymop. They encounter a guy there who barely speaks English, and must of felt threatened.
Now here is where it starts to get confusing. He feels threatened, so AD is called in. But according to the guy who can barely speak English, Sodom was used as a threat. This is before, as far as I can tell, any English translators arrived on scene. As far as i can gather from this thread, the only time they claim that Sodom is mentioned is when they say that the wagon and the supplies in it had been supplied to them from Sodom.
Would rather like to have a chat log of this moment. But as far as I can tell, there should be no way for them to know what he was saying, but rather most likely say the name Sodom and perceived it as a threat.
This seems to be the basics of what happened I can gather from before the rangers arrived.
Next up according to Salaan's post they set up a small camp near xymop, which Im guessing was with the intentions of camping out and waiting for the LS to get on to sort this out. Ignoring the warning on the runestones (were they in english or crylic?) But instead the rangers came to try and take care of this situation. So afterwards they begin to run. Which would seem to me this is where the entire situation should of ended. They were leaving, but rather you used aggression to keep them around.
Fast forward a bit:
We have all these guys koed on the ground. And Im guessing you were all still waiting for a translator to arrive on scene. What seems to happen from this is that one of them got up right before the message telling them not to get up appears, and in retaliation you kill one of the people who were still laying down? Which also brings up the question, if none of them are able to speak english at this point, how are you telling them not to stand up?
Whole situation seems confusing and wrong. Might edit this post with more thoughts and corrections if i can come to any other conclusions. Also as a side note, saying Xymop is a peaceful village is not an entirely true statement, I've had problems with stuff being stolen that I have tracked to xymop lands, so my post may contain a biased view against them.
