He froze at Sak'bas' comment, before just glancing at her, eyes suddenly rock hard. He quickly turned back to the group, and nodded slightly at Tina's comment, before answering. "Obviously, recruit them. They have nothing to disqualify them from being part of the nation, and have skills we need."<br/><br/>Since they were so obviously on top of things, he obviously didn't need to explain things to them. So after a moment of awkward silence or someone asking for clarification, he simply pulled out his map, and pointed to the absolutely massive swamp to the west of them. "Because of that. The Hooktongue Swamp. Sorry, Hooktongue Slough."<br/><br/>Another awkward pause, and he decided he had made his point about explaining things. "Lizardfolk are natural swamp fighters. We will expand east to at least the edges of the Slough, so I want someone competent in that area. They handily fill that roll. Even better, I already have the position of chieftain, so it should be possible to keep them in. As for what we are doing after I talk with the lizardfolk, we will be heading back to town to drop off Tig at his home. We can try to explore the south west next month."
