"The jist of the Draconic exchange is that the Blackscale tribe is far more powerful than the Strongvine tribe we're talking to. Both in stature and presumably numbers due to predation. They also happen to be squatting in the location we're headed while using it to receive and store tribute they're not even making good on the general promise of. That we can expect them to be hostile no matter the circumstances. They possibly utilize the poison we were warned about via an allied tribe. Oh, and Xarces is apparently a messianic figure to the Strongvine tribe but will be seen as an abomination to the Blackscale."
