"We can offer our servants' aid and our own skills as a combatant and deterrent. As for what we need...defense from the human and elven zealots, a supply of food when the swamps run low, the right to speak at their council meetings...what more do we wish? Oh, and incidentally I suggest we denounce anyone who makes an official statement before we've reached some kind of consensus on that point...possibly lethal denouncement. One moment, please, good dwarves.

Whispering: "Who cares about a council? A supply of food can be obtained by our followers...no, we need something they can provide that we can't get already. We can deal with things they can't...and in return, dwarves are good smiths, right? Have them make us armor. And metal claws to be sharper and stronger, probably longer too. Our servants can steal things for them, that should be helpful. We should definitely leave a clause allowing us to ask for more in the future."

"If we're going to be helping the dearves out whenever they get into a conflict, we deserve the right to steer them away from pointless wars if our words can convince them of such. The same goes if we ever come to depend on them for food, say if we live in these dry mountains 24/7/336."

"This seems to be a self-perpuating problem and solution. If we're on their council, we'll have to be up in the mountains, so we'll be low on food(according to you), thus we should be on their council to get food, ad infinitum. Why not have one of our servants function as an emissary? It'd help present a united presence to the dwarves as well, since we couldn't very well argue with each other in a letter. Unless some of you are more creative than I though.

"And I'd rather we have someone do it for us. Which is exactly why we need a repsentative. Idiots like him will continually get in the way at meetings, and us disagreeing with ourselves will not be helpful in negotiations."
