Calisto move forward but stay behind his companions.
"Kobold, we told Glaive and the miners we would free your group from the power of the brown dragon and his minions. The dragon have been vanquish. Stay out of this fight, no harm will come to you and you'll be free."
Suddenly, Calisto eyes turns bright red
"And for you dragonborns, you have no right to enslave kobolds. We had come here in peace ready to negotiate, but we met an hostile welcome comity. We have defeated the dragon, you are next."
"Slaves? They ain't slaves, is you kobolds? You free to leave whenever you wants right?" the female hisses, but the kobolds seem like they're wavering, the heavily armored one looks back and forth between the groups.
Willow stands back from the group, cautiously watching the surroundings and making note of anything noteworthy.
The dragonborn female hisses at the kobolds
"Remember what happened to Ortan, you want the same to happen to you?" and the kobolds stiffen at her words.
They seem somewhat reluctant in their attacks as the sling-wielders begin hurling rocks at the heroes. The rocks bounce off of the platemail of Ghorgor, and just miss J'yri. The heavily armored one stands his ground, brandishing his weapon at the adventurers.
The dragonborn advance cautiously.
A pair of smaller kobolds appear and move to attack J'yri, but their picks fail to get past the dragonborn's shield.
[sblock=Skill Challenge]
+2 to next primary check.
The kobolds appear unsure of how to act when faced with the party's sudden arrival. Caught between desires for freedom and fear of the dragon's underlings, the kobold's loyalty is torn.
