Chpt. 2 Kobold Prisoners & Prisoners of Kobolds

[SlyFox]

The kobold that is doing the speaking looks over at Biblo when asked about his master and secret doors. It doesn't hesitate even a moment to answer him, but his voice is wavering as he quivers with fear. "We had a chief, but the goblins sneaked out and killed him. We only have two leaders and four main guards now." He points back to the dark room behind him. "We killed their chiefs too and have them locked up behind door in there. There are secret doors. You came through one." He points to the secret door that the party has just entered through. "There is a secret door in the room beside our supply room and another further north past big spider lairs. You go north and keep going past lairs and you find a room with statues of our gods. Keep going past that room and you find the last hallway to north with a door in the west side. Go through door and keep going west. There is a another door to left side of hall going west that leads nowhere, so keep to right. All rooms are empty, but way west, far, is secret door when it looks like you reach a dead end. Lever behind torch on stone wall. Used to be great wizard's room. This is what we learned from the goblins. They kill great wizard long, long ago with poisons. He worshiped same gods we do. Statue gods were his."

The kobolds look at the entire party while shaking, their eyes wide with fear. "You let us go, yes?"

Llewellyn steps forward and indicates the mossy wall. "We will release you soon," he says. "But first, step against this wall and take a handful of moss, if you please."

[SlyFox]

When Llewellyn's request is translated, the kobolds look at each other with a look that says these people must be crazy. The kobold that spoke up raises a brow, then walks over to the moss and tears out a handful. For good measure, he sniffs it and holds it out to Llewellyn. "You want moss?" He asks dubiously.

Llewellyn DeNonce, Lawyer-Assassin

"Well, that seems safe enough. Shall we proceed forward, these two at the front?"

[AleBelly]

Llewellyn DeNonce, Attorney-Assassin

Llewellyn's ears pick up at the mention of an accident. "What sort of accident was this?" he asks. "Was it on your property or someone else's? Was it a workplace injury? How long ago was it?"

"By the way," he tosses off as an afterthought, "does anyone think that moss might hide a secret room or passage?"

Adel focuses on the moss. It's tough to tell if he's ignoring the questions or has a keen interest in botany.

[Zhym]

Llewellyn DeNonce, Attorney Assassin, reminds himself never to close a sales pitch by asking about moss.

Trendt to the kobolds "One thing I would like to know if freed will you attack the town again?"

[Nuke66]

Sammy the Barbarian

Sammy looks at them with a degree of disgust. Not because they are kobolds, but because they are begging for their lives.

"Tie their legs so they can only shuffle their feet. And tie them together. They can carry loot. I will lead, put them in the middle. Mayhap we can find another use for them later."

Sammy moves to the door. "Shall we see how much fight these Goblins have left in them?"

[FronkyDondo]

Trendt to the kobolds "One thing I would like to know if freed will you attack the town again?"

Gwydion, Elf Ranger
"Um... I would prefer these kobolds NOT go free. At all. They need to be punished."

[LilacBird]

Gwennethel, Elf Druid

"Sammy must have a death wish." Gwennethel turns to Sammy and asks, "Sammy did you lose a lady love or are you just testing the fates in your youthful rashness?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Trendt in common "Gwydion did you not hear me earlier I already figure out lovely lawyer friend will take care of that problem. Oh Lawyer these kobolds need some council if you will."

"Sammy I was actually thinkin it'd be nice to smash some goblin skulls. Let us go find out."

[Nuke66]

Gwennethel, Elf Druid

"Sammy must have a death wish." Gwennethel turns to Sammy and asks, "Sammy did you lose a lady love or are you just testing the fates in your youthful rashness?"

"Bah, these scum I have no fear of. They have to be lucky to even land a blow. They move too slow. And besides, I haven't lost a lover that I know of."

Sammy reaches for the door latch, ready to throw it open once he gets an affirmative.

[Zhym]

Llewellyn remains fascinated by the moss. Taking one of the dead kobolds' weapons, he scrapes the moss off the wall to see what's behind it.

[AleBelly]

The tips of Adel's ears turn red. "We accepted their surrender, and they provided us with valuable information, if true. Continue to use them as trap bait by all means, but if we kill them we are as depraved and low as they are. When we are ready to return to town, we need to take them with us to face justice. Besides, we'll also show the townsfolk that we've dealt with their problem, which will put us in their good graces."

Franxyl Stands ready for whatever is behind the door. Moves up with Sammy and Trendt. Lets finish these creatures and move with our task.

Trendt "At the very least we might have fodder if needed." Trendt then moves back to the party "Alright so are we off to the goblins or to get the rest of these kobolds companions?"

[Grognardsw]

Biblo, arcanist

"It would be unwise to venture deeper on if enemies are still behind us," comments Biblo. "What if a stray kobold barricaded us in as they did the goblins. Let us exterminate all the kobold scum before taking on the goblins. We have new information for our map as well."

[AleBelly]

Biblo, arcanist

"It would be unwise to venture deeper on if enemies are still behind us," comments Biblo. "What if a stray kobold barricaded us in as they did the goblins. Let us exterminate all the kobold scum before taking on the goblins. We have new information for our map as well."

Adel nods at Biblo, next to him in the formation. "Let's finish off the kobolds first." He looks at the two captives - "although I don't advocate murdering these dogmen, I don't trust them either. Before venturing forth, we should gag them so they can't alert others to our presence."

Knowing there's plenty of fabric waiting in the cart outside, Adel cuts two long swatches from his emerald robe and ties the kobolds' snouts shut. "Biblo, tell them if they make any noise their innards will meet my spear."
