Kolarred nods in approval and tries to follow the Kobold as quickly as he can in his bulky armor.

Kolarred senses that Druknutt is quite honest about his intentions, and thus he begins following after the kobold. Zook sees the paladin trudging off after the small scaly creature, so he shurgs to Luthal and begins walking as well.
The gnoll isn't as ready to just accept things as they are, but as he sees six kobolds go down to the battlefield to clean that up, and the other two begin walking up the hillside, he realizes there's nothing else for him unless he just wants to sit on a log for the next hundred years. So he begrudgingly takes off after Kolarred as well.
The group walks for about twnety minutes until finally Druknutt, the other kobold (named Runnk) and the three Knightmares reach a overhanging cave entrance into the rocky mountainside. When the Knightmares come up to it, they notice the other three kobolds stationed above the outcropping, obviously on watch. Druknutt turns and smiles back at the group and speaks...
'Here is the tunnels! Get you to the temple of the blood men straight away! But first, you will eat with us, yes? Share our hearth and home? Boldrei will watch upon us. Then you will speak with Fr'seressulr, yes? He will then help you to the temple. This is the way. Anything you need to know before we go on? Ask! Please ask!'

Kolarred nods politely at the Kobold when he offer them a meal.
"Thanks a lot, I wouldn't refuse a good meal before leaving for this tunnel. We will need all the energy when can collect. Sir Druknutt, we are very appreciative of your hospitality."
He then turns to inspect carefully the entrance of the tunnel.

As the Kobold offers for his help.
"Normaly I wouldn't ask you for anything Sir Druknutt, but these enemies of ours seems particularly clever and trained. We will need all the help we can get. What do you have to offer us Sir Druknutt?"

As the group comes upon the tunnel mouth, it appears to be solid and secure. Luthal does find himself needing to duck a bit as he enters, but other than that, the group follows the two kobolds in without any problems. Druknutt turns back and answers Kolarred's question.
'Offer you? What you need? We can get you to the temple. One day of travel. Save yourself two days from going the long way. We can also restock your food and water. That would be good, yes? When you speak to Fr'seressulr, he might have more... but the Infermo Clan lives simply, yes? Yes. When we reach the clan village, if you need some specifics, look around. Ask. We are accomodating people who will help you, but you need to know what you want to know and need.'
The group journeys through the tunnels for about an hour or two, passing the occasional outpost, guard station, and branching off. Torches lines the rough hewn walls, and after a while you all notice that perhaps every fourth torch isn't real fire, but rather Continual Flame. Finally, the group empties out into a rather large cavern, wherein are dozens upon dozens of tents, wooden shacks, and the occasionally stone building. You all see hundreds of kobolds walking all throughout this small village going about their daily business. The cavern is probably about fifty or sixty feet high, it slightly rises at the far end about 300 feet away, and up at that end you see a very large (perhaps thirty foot high) statue of a dragon. It is standing on it's hind legs, it's wings spread wide, and it's arms outstretched. It looks very intimidating from this perspective across the cavern. However, everything else seems very soothing as the kobolds all move and act like any other peaceful creature might, and a number of them nod and smil in your direction as they pass you.

Kolarred nods politely back to all friendly creature, trying to be as friendly as possible. He lets his host guide him. Unless he feels threathen by one of those creature he will stay friendly.

"What else do you know about this temple, Sir Druknutt. Or perhaps you know someone in your village who might also know a things or two about this temple. "
Kolarred will also carefully observe the imposing statue and tries to identify it.
OOC Untrained knowledge check +1, unless nobility and royalty where He got a +6
If he can't identify it, he will turns towards the kobold and say with amazement. "What an impressive piece of art, was it done by a member of your tribe. The person who carved it was a real artist."

'The temple? No, we stay away from the temple. Bad place is the temple, with evil men.'
Druknutt continues walking the group forward through the village, and Kolarred is reminded that the group has a bunch of paperwork and maps describing the temple and some of it's passwords and passageways. These were given to the group by Marta D'Orien.
Druknutt looks up at the large dragon statue when Kolarred mentions it.
'Ah! Yes! We honor Fr'seressulr! Many of our sculpters spent many years creating this honor! It is a great honor! You like it?'
He leads the three of you to a large fire pit towards the back of the cavern where a large amount of tables and benches are set up and the smells of roasting meats comes wafting towards you. He brings you into the communal eatery and motions for you all to sit down.
