The lizardfolk are clearly quite surprised to see that you speak their language. However, their wariness does not slacken as they share out your weapons among themselves. They do take good care of them, though it is not clear whether this is due to your request or to the scarcity and value of metal implements in the swamp.
"Greetings, Gildrim," the leader responds after a moment. "I am Tatupu. Why have you been looking for us?"
He motions you to follow, and begins leading the way through the swamp as you converse. The other lizardfolk fall in around you, just beyond arms reach. With closer inspection, it is clear that all of them have taken small wounds recently; bruises and shallow cuts for the most part, but there are at least two deeper wounds in sight, poulticed with herbs and mud.

Tired and sore, with great half-healed bite marks marring his flesh, Gildrim is more relieved than worried to see the warband, but nevertheless keeps very still.
"Fekiikiri, tilsin sthyri! Qe doegel mrith douta neri!" he calls. "Wux ossalur mrith jennu ohhu. Si jahus vorqir ihk wux. Si mi vi thurirl vur lotoc ekess ocuir wux."
He carefully presents his greatsword hilt first to the leader and begins the lengthy process of divesting himself of his other weaponry. "Arominak Gildrim Nerixen," he announces. "Nakta astahi algbo; nomeno belhal ekess vi bensvelk sthyr, vur si tepoha coanwor ekess jennu nirescholii ekess ehtah trian caexi."
