Meepo snarls at Jair. "You not understand! You never understand! Pah! I try again one time. But I need help from this one. Vile he is, but he one smart enough learn language." It then turns to Heirmund, whom it has studiously ignored this entire time, and interrupts his examination of the floor traps, chittering, clicking, and humming in its own language.
~*Tell this idiot that Calcryx is not our master, our god, or our ally. It is a member of our tribe! As the Keeper of the Dragon, it is my duty and my honour to raise this magnificent being into its eventual godhood. It is Yusdrayl who rules us. Yusdrayl is the one that found the Egg, then led us to this lost temple. Where better to raise a Dragon than an abandoned temple that already practiced the True Faith before? Vile, foolish goblins do not even understand they have invaded a sacred place! They do not care about its history, its treasures, or even about Dragons! They defile this holy temple with their very presence! And so they weaken and die. Soon they will be no more, and I, Meepo, shall be free to raise our Calcryx to true godhood in peace! You tell him that, in your language of moans and hiss--*~
Jerek had safely crossed the room and examined the door, finding no traps. Stepping back, he gestured for Kuma to open it. Kuma did so, and was struck with the stench of rotting meat that suffused the air. Stepping in cautiously, Kuma glanced around in the dim light provided by Lehko's lantern outside. He saw the much-chewed carcasses of several vermin--and of some humanoids, lying upon a floor of filth, old bones, hair, and fur that combined to make a particularly large and vile nest. The northern wall was smashed, opening on rubble-strewn darkness.
Kuma barely had time to take in this momentary impression of the room, however, before he was in combat, two more of the vile rats diving at his legs from either side of the door! Their sharp teeth failed to penetrate his armour, but a third rat used the precious moments to skitter into a good position to attack as well. Meepo's explanation was cut short as you all realized you're under attack! By rats. Again.
((That was a surprise round. Rat's attacks: 11 and 7.))
((Kuma is effectively just inside the door, flanked north-south by two rats, and with another rat attacking him from his SW. Unless he moves, only one more person could step up behind Kuma into melee range with the rats--and even then, the rats will get a +4 cover bonus to ac from the doorway, since their attacker would be outside the room.))
