An impasse
No symptoms of the plague are obvious.
"No. I not leave my young ones. I do not risk being sick and falling to demon's magic. You back to far wall. We drop our weapons and treasure. Attack us and you get sick as well. You not die if you let us go, you die if you don't. Understand? You deal with demon in mines."
M'dok makes several motions with his hands and his breathren simultaniously drop their weapons, armor, and assorted other equipment. He sends a kobold farther back on the ledge out of sight; it returns a minute later with two young kobolds. He then orders the kobold on the cavern floor to return to the ledge, carefully skirting around the edge of the cavern so as to avoid immediate contact with the party.
M'dok points to the tunnel entrance to the northeast where the 'demon' supposedly resides. "Stand there. We exit there." He points to the sloping tunnel from which you came. "Agreed? We both benefit, no?"

Ultimatum...
M'dok continues his barking, "We come down now. If you not want plague, better leave now, continue into mountain. Other kin in other end of mine, you be infected if you return now."
The kobolds begin to climb down the from the ledge.
Bhartus is still unable to get a read on the kobolds, as their strange features inhibit an accurate analysis of their sincerity.

Bhartus says "You leave, we will go out and come back to slay this DEMON, but you and all your kind must leave here FOREVER!"
Bhartus looks at the rest. Well we should count ourselves fortunate... But these dog-men are a tricky bunch.
Bhartus waits for the kobolds to come down and stands together with the rest of the party, crossbow ready. He scans the room, checking to spot any kind of trap and making sure they don't try anything funny.

The Retreat...
The kobolds descend to the cabin floor, hugging the wall of the crevice so as to avoid infecting the party. They retreat through the tunnel the party originally entered in, leaving their equipment behind....

Whitney looks to Bhartus, "I have to admit that they had the high ground and let us go." pushes her glasses up. "Of course I'm most likely stating the obvious an all that." hiccups nervously. "I'll shut up now."

"Nonesense. We would have beaten them up even if we had taken some casualties. Moradin would not let one of his finest fall to the dog-men!" Bhartus looks at the companions. "Well should we exit and come back after we have healed and rested, or do you feel up to battling this 'demon'? They seemed eager to leave, but asking us to step foot in what might be a trap-filled chamber?"
Bhartus examins the equipment to see if there's any good stuff.

The Loot
The gear left behind mostly consists of leather armor and half spears, along with some trinkits left behind by M'dok of unknown value. Each kobold left 11gp each, for a total of 88. You discover a room behind the ledge where the war party was encamped. Four sacks of ore are also available.
Ardoss is obviously in need of IMMEDIATE care.
Just a note: in the party's current condition, lugging back the ore and assorted weapons/armor would weigh heavily on encumberance.
