(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Tor L'Tha]

Rak

Maybe these kobolts can be convinced to be a ally on a later point?
We need to know much before that time can come and a formal proposal can be done. But if the Goblins are taking their homes I can almost understand they came to town to pillage. But we cant forget that these same kobolt have killed way to many of our family and frinds. “If we don’t kill them we need that captain as insurance”

 

[Knight Otu]

Ala pauses for dramatic emphasis and then speaks again, "Use your minds and not your arms - think! Why has this happened now???"

"The dragon." Sel'Tarien's face grows harder, eyes narrow. "Is that what you mean? The hobgoblins in league with the dragon, forcing the kobolds out of their caves, as some kind of ... invasion force? And as long as the hobgoblins are occupied by the kobolds trying to regain their caves, they will be delayed with their other plans?"

Unsure of the situation, and if his deduction is correct, he lowers his rapier a bit, though still ready to strike if necessary.

"BAH! Tha eff be right, nae dragons an' hobglobs be aligned ta'gether." The dwarf growls.

"That isn't what he said, Krueger." Jaeden replies.

Liam remains in his tree, watching the debate unfold. He would leave the decision of what to do up to those from the village. He certainly wasn't about to give up his rather secure location in order to wade into a bunch of angry kobolds for a chat. Still, he tries to make himself more comfortable in his perch, as it seems that this could go on for a while.

"I am no scholar on the subject of dragons, nor of their infernal cohorts," Ala says, hoping that last statement will sink into some heads, "but everything that I have heard is that neither move nor act idily. You can be assured that if the hobgoblins are allied with the other forces that threaten our world, that something has been in the works for some time past. Further, you can be assured that the hobgoblins are little more than slaves."

Ala pauses and then looks to Krueger, "Please, Krueger, let their captain up. These kobolds have even less reason to trust us than we have to trust them, but someone has got to take the first step. They call us murderers because we slay them for raiding our towns and fields. We treat them like wolves and crows, but despite what we think of them, they are creatures of this world as much as we.... We may well need allies in the days to come - perhaps this will be the first step. Please, Krueger, let him go..."

"Either way," says Sonrik, "their captain is going to have to be brought to the town elders. Perhaps and accord can be struck, we shall see." He tightenes up his stance and points his sword at the kobolds in front of him, and sternly says, "Not a step closer, you."

 

[Ashy]

"Please stop, Sonrik! Threatening them will do no good!" She turns and looks to the kobolds. "I propose a truce to you, kobolds! You seek food, shelter, and safety do you not?"

 

[Vendetta]

Krueger looks offended and glares down at the captain. Begrudgingly, he stands off of the kobold captain. The captain scrambles to his feet, cursing under his breath in the kobold language. Krueger flinches at the captain with his axe, causing the kobold to tumble over backwards. Before the captain can get up and reply, Krueger has wandered over to a nearby tree and sits, looking rather dejected, mumbling something about wasting time with things like talking and thinking.

The Kobold Lieutenant snarls back at Sonrik.

The Kobold captain then turns to look at Ala. "What are you doing on our land?" He says in broken common.

"These are not your lands." Jaeden replies.

"They are now." the captain says coldly.

 

[Knight Otu]

"By which right?" Sel'Tarien says in a cold voice, but adds, a bit softer, "But maybe we should get a bit more familiar with each other. Negotiations go much better when knowing each other's name. I am Sel'Tarien."

 

[Vendetta]

"And I am Jaeden." The human says with a short bow.

The hocking of phlegm can be heard from the direction Krueger had gone as he spits out his thoughts on the matter, pretending not to listen... but you all know he is.

Gemble keeps his place just behind the leg of He'Rak and does not offer any comment or thought.
