"Hello there," Epineh said as they approached.

"Who you?" the nearest frog-man asked nervously "There shouldn't be any pink-skins here."

"We've come to speak to your leaders," Epineh said.

"Pale-skin wants to talk to Falkin?" The Frog-man said "Falkin said all pink-skins are bad, they want to hunt us, and hurt us."

"Your people are currently attacking ships, which causes a violent reaction," Epineh said. "I want to see a peaceful end to that."

"Falkin said that the pink-skins need to pay us to use our river.." The Frog-man said "But you don't seem to be trying to hurt us. I'll take you to Falkin."

"Thank you," Epineh said.

The frogfolk leads you towards the walls of the town and then into the town, a few frog-folk look on curiously but most quickly hide when they see the humans.

Epineh is led to the biggest building, inside you see a familiar looking group of Frog-folk huddled together.

Epineh cleared her throat.

The bodyguard stepped forward his weapon and shield ready "Flee quickly master, I will hold these fiends off." he bellowed to the injured mage Epineh had seen eariler.

"We're just here to talk," Epineh said raising her hands. "Not to attack you."

The injured mage Falkin one would presume, held up a hand "Halt Dolness, that mage could have destroyed us. Let us hear what she has to say first."

"We want to know why you have started raiding ships on this river," Epineh said.

The Frog-Mage sighs "We are most comfortable living in the swamp lands, but the lizards want to drain them and turn them into farmland and meadows. We need the things you pink-skins carry to defend my people and our lands."

"I'm sure we could work out some sort of trade deal,' Epineh said.

"Will that stop the Lizards from taking our land?" Falkin asked "More than anything that is what we need."

"We could certainly discus it with them," Epineh said.

Falkin lapses into silence for a long moment and the sighs, "You could of killed us all and you haven't. If you believe you can stop the lizards from harming my people then I will agree to almost anything. What is your price?"

"I just ask for you to lay off the attacks for now," Epineh said.

The frog mage falls silent for a short while and then finally nods "Very well, but I can only give you two turnings of the moon." he finally said "That is how long the supplies we have will last."

"Very well, we'll take our leave now," Epineh said.

The frog-mage waves you away, as the party leaves they can hear raised voices.

"Since we have a time limit, let us hurry," Epineh said.
