The amazon returns

It was actually Sheila who'd returned to your camp, though you certainly couldn't blame your warriors for not recognizing her. This time she was dressed and carrying herself with a lot more elegance, wearing a comfortable white dress and a diadem on her head. Her lips also seemed to be painted in red, and she looked by far more lively than last time I saw her.

"Greetings Chief Vehumet." She said with a slight bow before you, while both you and your guards could only stare at her appearance. "I am Sheila, Daughter of Raia. My mother sent me as an ambassador to discuss our peaceful coexistence..."

"I'm... surprised." You smile at her, after you'd welcomed her into your tent and sent your warriors away. "If I'd known you were of Amazon nobility, I should have treated you with proper respect..."

"I'm not nobility." She answers with a little smile, reminding you that her kind has the strange habit of electing a new leader for their tribe every season. In your eyes it's the most stupid of ideas, as you feel you cannot negotiate with someone you know can be replaced before your plans together have even reached fruition. Sheila assures you that such will not be the case however, as she says her mother is a strong leader and will stay in that position for a very long time.

"She risks a lot in thrusting you, however." She tells you, and you can see her getting nervous. And for good reasons, you're certain, as it must have taken her quite some effort to convince her mother of your 'honest' intentions... "She's willing to put this 'alliance' to test... Not far from here there's a tribe of Orcs, slavers of the worst kind, and we would need your help to kill them, or drive them away. They are the biggest threat in these parts, and against them both me and my mother would gladly agree on a treaty with your tribe."

"That sounds like a very possible idea..." You agree, but pause as you remember the nearby Orcish hordes. She must be talking about Gumukh's tribe, who are indeed some dangerous opposition... "It will be dangerous however, so could I suggest a few terms for my cooperation...?"
