Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[Friadoc]

[sblock=ooc]No complaints from me, not only am I a fan of smartly run humanoids (even to my own detriment), but I love the common sense aspect of morale, too. So it's all good with me. [/sblock]

Even though the kobolds have seemed to surrender, Tanith keeps her crossbow loaded just in case.

Jonas looks somewhat flabbergasted.
"Now what?" he whispers.

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Jonas looks somewhat flabbergasted.
"Now what?" he whispers.

Shai looks to the cleric. "Well, they're still hidin' 'round the corner with their weapons, right? Seems first thing is to get 'em in the open and make 'em drop their arms so we know they aren't back there setting up another ambush."

 

[Scotley]

"That would be nice, but they offered to parley not surrender as I heard it." With a shurg the dwarf rises and says in a loud voice. "Send one of your number around the corner to talk. We promise not to harm him."

A scared-looking kobold stumbles out from the corner. His wide eyes look back over his shoulder before meeting your gaze. He still holds a crossbow, but is obviously not prepared to use it.

Shai, bow still ready, turns to the others. "I always mess up talking to new people. Jonas? Tanith? I'm better at hitting things. Maybe one of you is better at negotiating?"

Rogash

The dwarf lowers his axe and nods politely at the Kobold. He isn't sure what to say next so he tries a friendly smile and waits for someone else to speak.

 

[Mista Collins]

Tanith chuckles a bit as Shai recommends her to speak. "To be honest, before volunteering to help find the nuts, I hadn't had much interaction with others. Most my life has been buried in book, but I can give it a shot."

Turning to the kobold, Tanith starts by speaking to it in its native language, Draconic. "Hello, my name is Tanith Dathius,do you speak Common? I would prefer my companions to hear."

Once it is determined the language the conversation will be in, Tanith continues. "My companions and I are really interested in why you are down here, what has been the cause of the transformations, and are you causing all the noise?"

 

[industrygothica]

The scared kobold looks to his left before answering, apparently receiving instruction before speaking. His replay comes in Draconic.

"Digging, that is what we do. The scouts found a secret menagerie down here. Tried to clean it, but all the nasties escaped... kill us all." He nods to the door behind the trap Friadoc was working on, "we were secure in there, until you came along. Now we all die."

A whisper comes from around the corner, and the kobold relays the question. "Now, why you here?"
