Rondo, you don't "recognize" them in the sense that you have actually met their kind before, but as an earth-dweller, you "know/recognize" that they are Neanderthals, another subterranean race and friendly towards dwarves and gnomes, but hate goblins and kobolds AND are at a blood-feud with ogres - they will attack them on sight. Unfortunately, you don't know Neanderthal. As you take a step forward to try to communicate in common, you see Si'Nat raise his bow behind you and you quickly turn and swat it down to prevent any "misunderstandings".
