But Allistair wasn't an idiot either. He felt the tide changing, and by now, the yawn had stopped having any effect on him. He dashed at an incredible speed toward Josh. As long as he took him hostage, he would be powerless no matter who or what his allies were.
Josh wanted to flee, but he couldn't. He summoned his rat and threw him at the enemy. Allistair could be heard scoffing as he cleaved at it with a two-handed halberd, sending it flying away.
That is when a stringent and loud sound was heard. BEEEEEPPPPP!!!! It instantly woke up all the sloths in the surroundings. But, that only served to harden Allistair's resolve. By the time they yawned, it would be too late.
"Wait, Allistair!" Markus cried out.
"Wait a second!" Michael was unsteadily getting up.
Negotiation 101 (CA style):
1. Assert dominance by proving your self-worth (T-pose, violence, etc.)
2. Show that there is worth in collaboration.
3. Use the power of friendship (gang-up on dissatisfied members)
4. Use mystical backing to assert dominance once more. (One they know and respect like D.L. cause it's totally real!)
5. Profit!
