'Yes yes... you must speak with him. He needs many things. Many things that you can give him. This is your payment for a fast path to the temple. Are you ready? Have you finished eating? Anything else you need before we leave and go see him?'
The kobold stands up ready to lead you on if you are ready. However, as you've sat and ate, you realize that you are probably nearing time to make camp anyway, and this area (with all the tents and buildings) probably would be more comfortable than lying on the hard rocks in the tunnels leading to the temple.
