(RP) Dangerous Legacy

Sonrik's charge cleaves the closest of the kobolds as Jaeden and Krueger run up behind the paladin. The charge of the trio scares the remaining kobolds who drop their spears and run in abstract fear in all directions that are away from Sonrik. With arms full of sacks of grain, meet, fruits and what have you, the three kobolds in the cart leap out and scatter into the night.

Before anyone might attempt to give chase, Jaeden whirls around with fire in his eyes. "Does what?" He growls at Ala, much to the shock of everyone there, especially the dwarf. "Do you even know what your oh so innocent play-thing cried out a moment ago?" Jaeden stomps up to Ala and the Kobold in her arms. "No, she doesn't, does she Skatha? None of us do, do we?... Or do we? You were not there to hear me translate the words of your kinfolk, were you? You didn't know I can speak your language, do you?" Jaeden says accusingly.

Skatha looks around, nervously and clings to Ala and whispers something to her.

Ala: [sblock] "He is siding with the dwarf. He too means to kill me. Please keep your word and protect poor Skatha." Skatha whispers, a note of fear in his voice as he clings tighter and tighter with each word that flows from the bard's mouth.[/sblock]

"I don't know what was said while I was out there looking for those kobolds, but I clearly heard Skatha call out to his people telling them that we had left the camp unprotected..." Jaeden continues but is cut short by Krueger's howl of rage.

"BETRAYER!" The dwarf roars hefting his axe.
 

'WHAT!" Erlik burns hot as Jaeden reveales the deception that has been in their midst and promply moves to break the neck of the kobold he has pinned before rising and confronting Ala and Skatha

"I was willing to withhold judgement priestess, but your pet has been a decption all along - I have no doubt that it lead these others here"
 



Ala: [sblock]Jaeden said "I don't know what was said while I was out there looking for those kobolds, but I clearly heard Skatha call out to his people telling them that we had left the camp unprotected..."... to your best judgement, he is telling the truth in so far as his understanding of the language may be (which you don't know how fluent he is... though he does seem rather well versed in the language)

Skatha said "He is siding with the dwarf. He too means to kill me. Please keep your word and protect poor Skatha." and again, to your best knowledge, he is also telling the truth, or at least what he believes to be the truth... and from Jaeden's sudden hostility toward Skatha, when he had previously been one who had physically held Krueger back from violence against the kobold, Skatha's fears are not unfounded. The quivering mass of kobold in your arms alone atests to Skatha's fear.

You should note, however, that neither is contradicting each other.[/sblock]
