The men all shout HAIL HYDRA! bite cyanide pills out of the shoulders of their uniforms, and quickly die foaming at the mouth....

OOC: yep, those guys are crazy and stuff yada yada yada...

Ok not really, here's what they would do

IC: The men each tell a similar story. "Six hundred years ago, the Grand Oracle foretold of islands to the east, islands which were rich and fertile, and would bring great prosperity to our people. He also gave descriptions of what they would look like, which we would often put on our maps of the Eastern Seas. Four hundred years later, our explorers found islands closely matching the descriptions, and we rejoiced at the coming of the prophesy. But our joy was short lived, soon we found invaders, who had desecrated our land with their feet and their buildings..."

They usually got very passionate at this point, and some had to be restrained by guards.

"...But we drove them off! Our ships and soldiers took up the glorious venture of killing the desecrators, and burning their taint from our land. We would tell some of our right to the land, and let them escape, but the rest were killed. But instead of respecting our ways and leaving us to our land, they returned, and had the audacity to claim the islands as theirs because they found them first. Three great wars were fought, but the desecrating imperials proved too strong. But one day we shall avenge the Imperium, and burn the stain of the imperials from this very earth!"
