Session 2: Return to the Citadel

[dmw71]

Meepo
A hint of relief betrays Meepo when Kelben does not immediately kill him. It begins shaking its head from side-to-side, pressing its palms against its temples, seemingly overwhelmed by all the questions. After a moment, it seems to calm itself.

It points to the cell and, in a crude common tongue with a hint of draconic accent, volunteers the following: "The clan's dragon ... we lost it. The wretched goblins stole Calcryx, our dragon!"

Meepo motions to the empty noose in the leash and. "Poor Calcryx," he says, barely resisting the urge to begin weeping again.

Kelben looks amazed slightly knowing kobolds worship dragons but then thinking of the size of the cage and the hole in the floor's size "How big of a dragon are we talking here Meepo?" he asks trying not to overload the kobold with questions.

[dmw71]

Meepo
"How big of a dragon are we talking here, Meepo?" Kelben asks, limiting himself to just a single question at a time. "Oh, Calcryx is huge!" Meepo chirps proudly. The rogue, noting the size of the kobold, and the size of the hole in the cage, chalks Meepo's recount as a matter of perception.

The gaping hole in the metallic cage, you estimate, to be roughly four-feet wide, so you can safely conclude that you're not dealing with ancient, or even adult, dragon, but more likely a young dragon, or possibly even a wyrmling.

Meepo's mood seems to improve as the conversation continues.

"You help Meepo?" it asks.

Kelben thinking about the situation puts hand to chin for a moment then replies to Meepo "I just might. Tell me how many are in your tribe and how might you reward us if we help get your dragon back?"

[dmw71]

Meepo
"Tell me how many are in your tribe, and how might you reward us if we help get your dragon back?" Kelben says, feeding into the kobold's increased level of excitement. "Oh, Meepo not know," the kobold chirps. "But Yusdrayl does."

"Come, Meepo take you to meet Yusdrayl, our leader!" he says, beginning to move deeper into the chamber.

The kobold reaches the opening just behind where he was discovered and takes a step through. He stops and waits to make sure he's being followed. "Come," he says. "You must meet Yusdrayl."

Kelben sighs "Naturally take us to your leader..." and signals for the others to follow despite the gnomes desire to search this room more before departing that the very least they will have to return to the room to "investigate the scene of the crime" if they are to return this stolen dragon. "Meepo your kin will not harm us yes?"

[dmw71]

Meepo
"If you make nice, you get safe passage. If you promise to make nice, and maybe if you promise to rescue dragon, Yusdrayl make nice to you, answer your questions."

The kobold perks up as he senses the possibility of getting the dragon back and hops at the entrance, waiting. "Come.... come... " he chirps excitedly.

Kelben "Yes I'll erm make nice. Might help your tribe with the goblins too, not just saving the dragon for you." the gnome adds hoping to sweeten the deal. "One moment Meepo I'd like to take a look around before we head off to your leader." the gnome then walks to the altar/table and checks it over to see what it contains.

[Scott308]

Qelgrax Klilxuac

A white dragon? Why in the world would anyone want a white dragon? Eh, kobolds! Probably wouldn't be able to handle a "real" dragon, the sorcerer mutters under his breath. And now we're going to help the kobolds? Just great. He follows Meepo and Kelben to meet the kobold leader.

[Shaede]

Hargrem

The cleric watched the exchange between the others and the Kobold. He shared Klilxuac's sentiment about helping kobolds. Oh well, we're here to find some missing children and a magic apple, and the goblins are to blame. Maybe the kobolds will point us in the right direction so we can be done quickly, he says to the dragonborn.

[Monsieur Rose]

Sky

She looks warily at Meepo, trying to discern if he's leading them into a trap.

Insight?: [1d20+3] = 14+3 = 17

"Ah. An escort! Finally this place has shown us kindness." Sky moves to follow Meepo and shield Kelben while he roots around.

[dmw71]

Meepo
"Yes, Meepo, we'll make nice," Kelben assures the rejuvinated kobold. "We might even help you with your goblin problem, too, while recovering your dragon."

"But first..." the rogue quickly adds, hoping to prevent Meepo's excitement from escalating into impatience. "First, I'd like to take a quick look around." The gnome takes a few steps back and casually glances down at the contents on the wooden bench draped with green cloth.

Resting on this tiny altar are a paintbrush made of goblin-hair bristles, four tiny jade figurines of dragons, and a half dozen containers of green dye.

The dye in these vials appears to match the bright green color used to create the symbols and glyphs which decorate the walls of the chamber.

Meepo shifts his weight from side-to-side impatiently and begins muttering to himself. "Must take you to Yusdrayl," he says. "Yusdrayl answer your questions, he will."

"Please come."


Sky looks warily at Meepo, trying to discern whether the kobold can be trusted. After acquiring what she believes to be a good read on their potential guide, the tabaxi feels confident that Meepo's intentions are genuine.

"Ah. An escort! Finally this place has shown us kindness." she says, moving to position herself between the kobold and the party's thief as Kelben roots around on the table.

Hargrem, noting that the goblins may lead them to the golden apple, and potentially the missing kids, steps forward along with Klilxuac and ready themselves to be led to the kobold leader.

Kelben satisfied with looking at the table he begins to follow the kobold one hand on the hilt of his sword in case this is a trap. "Very well I'll have to search this room after we meet your leader Meepo."

[dmw71]

Hall of Dragons
With everyone ready to leave, Meepo gleefully leads the way, moving quickly. The kobold guide leads the group down a long, damp 10-foot wide passage. After only 15-feet or so, the convoy passes a side passage off to the right, which appears to open into a large chamber after 20-feet or so.

The group catches a brief glimpe inside this side chamber and notice what appears to be two rows of two pillars or columns... with an armed, red-scaled kobold standing near the opening. Once this kobold spots the party, it begins hissing angrily, until Meepo shouts something at it in the draconic tongue -- which Klilxuac translates as loosely being the word "ticklecorn" in common -- that successfully calms the situation and the kobold remains where it is.

Meepo presses on and continues to lead the group down what turns out to be an 80-foot long passage in total, which turns sharp right at its end. The group passes a few closed stone doors, with iron pull rings, staggered on either side as they continue to follow, but nothing else about the passage jumps out as being extraordinary or unusual:

Passage.jpg (69.49 KiB) Viewed 1540 times

Your kobold guide takes this right hand turn which, after 20-feet, spills into a large chamber after 20-feet just as the previous side passage did.

Off to the right, a double row of marble columns line the length of this long hall. Carved into the face of these columns are reliefs depicting entwining dragons.

The hint of another red-scaled kobold can be seen lurking between the second set of columns.

Hall of Dragons.jpg (108.69 KiB) Viewed 1540 times

But Meepo, and your attention, are drawn to your right where a short throne stands near the west wall, constructed of fallen bits of masonry stacked against an old altar. On the top of the altar sit a variety of small items. The portion of the altar that serves as the throne’s back features a carving of a rearing dragon.

A metallic key is held firmly in the dragon’s open jaws.

Yusdrayl.jpg (77.47 KiB) Viewed 1540 times

Sitting upon the throne, you presume, is Yusdrayl; the kobold leader is flanked by imposing, armed kobolds, who immediately raise their weapons and face the group.

Meepo shouts "ticklecorn" twice before the honor guards finally stand down. Meepo motions for you to remain where you are, then approaches Yusdrayl and leans in and begins having a hushed conversation which, at times, appears to get heated.

Address.jpg (97.41 KiB) Viewed 1540 times

After a brief exchange, Meepo turns back to face the group.

"Is Yusdrayl," he says in plain common, motioning to the seated leader. "Do not get closer, and make nice," he cautions.

Kelben gives a half bow to the kobold leader Yusdrayl. "Very well we will stay back Meepo." noticing the key the wonders what is goes to. "We wish to help you get your dragon back and eliminate your goblin foes." the gnome thief tells the leader in common hoping Meepo will translate. The rogue still eyeballing the key as he talks.

Hargrem

The cleric followed along with the others. He had the strange sensation that they may be walking into a trap, so he kept his guard and shield raised for most of the journey. He did not know much about kobold society. In fact, this was all very new to him, so he had a sense of awe and wariness. He relaxed, only a little, as Meepo vouched for the group to the armed kobold at the end of the hallway. But, as they entered the large throne room, Hargrem said a quick prayer to Tymoria. Luck is needed this day, he said.

He was glad that they had a dragonborn along for the journey. Perhaps his heritage could help. As Meepo made the introductions, Hargrem turned to Klilxuac. I think this is your show, my friend. We will protect you if need be, but I think we will get out of this the easy way...at least I pray we do.

Qelgrax Klilxuac

Drawing himself to his full height in order to look as fierce and imposing as he can, Klilxuac begins speaking in draconic.

Moved to private forum.

When finished, he makes a show of bowing out of (feigned) respect to the kobold leader.

Dragon Throne
Meepo slinks back against the far wall, his back pressed up against a familiar stone door, while the two elite kobold guards move to position themselves slightly in front of Yusdrayl, flanking her on either side.

"We wish to help you get your dragon back, and eliminate your goblin foes," Kelben speaks in common, bowing slightly. At the same time, Hargrem turns to Klilxuac and whispers to the dragonborn: "I think this is your show, my friend. We will protect you if need be, but I think we will get out of this the easy way...at least I pray we do."

Klilxuac, attempting to be as imposing as possible, draws himself to his full height, and begins speaking in draconic... which his companions are unable to follow. The dragonborn begrudgingly offers a slight blow as he concludes his say.

Yusdrayl listens patiently as she is spoken to in multiple languages, and appears to understand both. She offers a friendly nod to Kelben, but keeps up with the harsh draconic tongue when responding, targeting her words at Klilxuac.

After speaking her piece to the dragonborn, she motions for her guards to stand down, which they immediately and willingly do in the form of lowering any weapons, but they do not relent their positions.

A second pair of guards, also not bearing any weapons, settle in behind the group and observe the proceedings with interest.

"Do not fear my guards," Yusdrayl says in a surprisingly fluent common tongue. "We shall initiate no hostility," she continues. "So, as long as you pose no threat to us, we shall not be a threat to you."

Kelben "We seek no harm to you or any of your kind. We came here looking for goblins that have taken some humans to find out they also took your dragon." the gnome adds to what he has already say hoping that will ease the kobolds a bit otherwise he allows the dragonborn do most of the talking seeing as the gnome can only speak common and gnome nothing in draconian.

[Monsieur Rose]

Sky

Sky looks back and forth from the Kobold leader to her dragonborn friend during the conversation. "Common. Of course he speaks common." Sky looks a bit put out that she wasn't party to the draconic speech. "So I appreciate the free lesson in Draconic, but I'd really like to know what's going on. How else can I impart my wisdom?"

"You must have done something right, Klilxuac. We aren't on the wrong end of pointy sticks."
