A war party

You slowly sneaked through the bushes, carefully, not making any sound. Your progress was slow, but the further you went, the clearer sounds became. Finally, the bushes ended – in front of you a small lake spread. On your left there was a sharp escarpment with a waterfall, on your right there was a small river, disappearing into the forest. On the other side of the shore, a forest spread with a small clearing... A clearing that was currently occupied.

You could make out tents, fires and humanoids walking around. It took you a few moments to understand that all of them were female – human females to be exact. Attractive women at that – some young, some in their middle ages. All of them armed – with bows, spears, swords or axes. Their clothing allowed them to move freely, they wore a simple tunics or lather jerkins – none of them had any mail or plate armour.

The first word coming to your mind while seeing this is Amazons.

A warrior women are known for **** and **** men, to upkeep their population. Of course, in this word, they could be different...

You could approach them – you are in dire need of information. Geography, local factions, political situation... maybe even heave them to be your allies.

On the other hand, they may very well be a warlike manhating people. Should they know of your presence, you could end up being annihilated by them.

Choices, choices...
