Ala looks into Skatha's face and tears fill her eyes... "Why? Why dear little one?" The priestess crumbles to the ground, heavy sobs racking her frame. Her grasp loosened on the kobold, Skatha is now finally free to decide his own fate...
 

Sel'Tarien: [sblock]You do not see any act of treachery present any in the face of your companions. Emotions range from confusion to outright anger.[/sblock]

Erlik: You easily broke the kobold's neck.

Erlik finds that camp is mostly empty save for those standing before Ala and the Kobold (Jaeden, Krueger, and Gemble for the NPCs) and the others have chased into the woods after those kobolds that have fled with food. (Sorry, no map of this area... apart from Skatha, there are no Kobolds in the camp anymore, they are all running in a variety of directions)

Chasing into the woods, Rak sees a motion and fires. He hears a yelp and knows that a kobold has fallen, though not the condition of the kobold through the darkness. Rak moves forward to the Kobold's possition and see it laying there, the shaft of the arrow protruding from its back just below the heart. it is bleeding profusely and will die within the minute (a round being six seconds). A wheel of cheese lay on the ground next to the kobold, thankfully protected within a thick wax layer.

"Why little one..." Ala repeats, dropping Skatha to the ground. The Kobold looks confused. "You promised to protect me! Me people need food, need things, all lost homes! You promised." As if on cue, Krueger gives out a battle cry and rushes past Jaeden. Skatha turns to flee.
 

Seeing the futility of a further chase in the dark, Sonrik sheathes his weapon and slings his shield. He picks up the dried meat in one arm, and grabs the fallen kobold by the foot, and drags it back to camp. Seeing the dwarf rage against the lone Skatha, Sonrik yells, "Krueger, stop! Let him go, they know our position, and perhaps Skatha is more use to us as a released prisoner." The young man approaches Krueger, and says, "Please, don't do this in front of Ala. Send him away."
 

Sonrik's command comes just in time to stay the dwarf's blade. Krueger glares back at the paladin as Skatha scampers away into the brush and darkness. Krueger's scowl falls upon Ala as he "hurrumphs" and lumbers back to his bedroll where he makes preperations to go to sleep.
 

"Friends," says Sonrik, "we've had quite a trying day. Let's just make the best of our situation and put an end to it. Hopefully we can make good time tomorrow. I doubt the kobolds will track us for long." Sonrik helps repack the cart and search for any more dropped foodstuffs. The young man will try to rest lightly for a bit before donning his armor, and making the last watch.
 


Erlik looks down at the priestess with disgust clearly evident on his face, but he does not try to stop the fleeing Skatha or punish those who let it escape.

Silently he goes to the kobold that he killed and drawing his knife makes to cut off its head.

"does anyone eat gecko?" he finally sneers, offering the bleeding body to any takers once the head is removed "it will at least replace the meat that was stolen.

And this head will serve as a warning to any would be raiders
" he continues weighing the head in his hand and considering how to best mount it for effect.

"So are we going to remain here even though our position is revealed?" he asks as he ties the kobold head to his belt and then glances at the moon to get and estimate of the time "or do we move on and get a head start on the dawn"

(ooc whats the time)
 


"I say we should stay here, but with one or two more on the watch... who do not all rush into the direction of suspicious noises."

(If Sel'Tarien is sufficiently rested, he'll add "I'll be on the watch as well.")
