Waving the White Flag

The our nation and our nation tribes are rivals, something our conquistador didn't realize until too late. They both demanded tribute from the expedition to allow them passage. By offering one native chief gifts first, our conquistador insulted and angered the other chief. The gifts offered were not to the chiefs' satisfaction and some warriors tried to take the expedition's provisions. The conquistador took a firm stand, and he and his second in command brandished their swords and threatened violence. The chiefs backed down and better gifts were presented to them both.
