You figured that a camp or outpost of some sort would be the most likely place to find a Gruul leader who could induct you into the group so you head down the trail leading through a dense forested area. It was a little hard to navigate with all of the thick foliage and low hanging branches and vines, but you knew joining the Gruul wouldn't be easy and prepared for this very occasion.
You take a large jagged knife you had bought from the city market just before closing and cut through a thick tangle of plants that had grown over the trail ahead. You had to slow your pace a bit as you hacked past fleeing animals and buzzing insects, but you were making pretty good time, all things considered. There were few torches this far out, but the dim light from a lantern you had bought kept you from tripping over anything.
Finally, after nearly an hour of slow progress you came upon a small clearing nestled snugly below the towering trees and rocks. In this clearing was a small cave along with a cook pot hanging over a burning fire and a couple of tents made from animal hides and scavenged cloth. You begin to approach the camp when three elf men dressed in loincloths, beads and fang necklaces step out from behind you and hold a knife to your throat.
"This is Gruul turf and we don't like trespassers." the head elf says as his two friends step in front of you, each holding a deadly hunting spear. "Why did you come here? Answer us or we'll kill you and take what you have for the clan." You pause for a moment as you look over the two elf hunters in front of you. It might be possible to escape if you take them by surprise, but antagonizing them would definitely antagonize the Gruul leadership as well. How do you respond?
