Draiss smiled, before leaning forward. "I am dragon blooded, and have the tendency to horde things, so art items or other rare items or things of beauty would also be worthwhile. However, how about a story, about how the minotaur came here, and why yours should be allowed to stay on the most fertile farmland? That is why the elves didn't get our support, their story was so flimsy I am surprised they themselves believed it."<br/><br/>The minotaur was likely intelligent enough to realize that 'things of beauty' didn't just mean items, and that he was saying that a female or some would likely be an acceptable 'bribe.' The minotaur elder also could tell, if he bothered with using detect magic, that he was far more powerful than he was putting on, his beyond epic magic items revealing that.
