[Koboldquest] Prologue: Tunnel patrol duty

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Taden was breathing heavily, and managed a weak smile as he put the scimitar back into its sheath. He knelt down a moment to pet Target for being a good little non-green furry soft thing, and then looked to the others, trying to be far braver than he actually was, "Um...so...we done yet?"

Alright, so he didn't actually even understand the concept of bravery. That wasn't the point.

 

[Lefferts]

Zort scratches his head some more.

 

[Ferrix]

Right head says, "seems there's nothing left," left head responding, "good 'nuff." Turning to the rest of the hatch, Nah'l nods in bifurcated unison and waits.

 

[The Baron]

"Yes, I feel like we've caused enough mayhem for today."

Kadan picks up his club and slips it back under his robe. He reloads his crossbow and gets ready to follow his bigger companions out of the cavern.

 

[Diirk]

"We have much to report. And with all that happened hopefully we won't get sent back to the mines, " Miki says with glee.

 

[Krug]

The kobolds make their way back after their brief foray. As you arrive at the main hive, the seargant is there to greet you. Other kobold warriors are up and about as well. "Hatchling #170... 2 dead after an accident with a wild bullfrog. #190, stumbled into old spiked pit trap." He then turns to you matter-of-factly."All right... how many casualties?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"None! We all survived. And we killed the centipedes and crawly-thing too!" Lok-Nar says with glee, waiting for the dumbfounded expression on the sergant's face.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

"Crawly thing was big mean and green, too!!" Taden said almost proudly from the back, "And...and...we killed it! Yeah! Right, Target?"

The badger made a noise that was far too close to a 'right!'.

 

[Krug]

The seargant looks perplexed. "Oh? That's ... quite amazing. And these centipedes were how big? Fist-sized? Head-sized?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Lok-Nar spreads his arms to indicate the three and five foot-long centipedes.*
