(RP) Dangerous Legacy

"Krueger!", yells Sonrik. "As long as Ala chooses to protect this creature, it will be as such. We cannot allow you to hurt her over this." Sonrik, still tense, turns to Ala and the koblod, "But I say this: I know not what gifts you posess, but I can see the evil in this creature as if it were lit by the moon. If it comes with us any further, make no mistake, it is our prisoner. If it tries to escape, it dies. We can risk it's presence in no less of a way. You are gambling with fate, Ala, and you have made our safety the wager. We respect your dedication, but think of us when you place your values in higher regard."

Rak

Rak that trying to sleep hears all the others discuss the kobolt issue “I'm with you Sonrik if that kobolt as much as sneeze in a tens moment, one of my bolt will be pointing out of his hearth” he then turns away from the discussion and ties again to fall asleep.
 

"But Sonrik..." Krueger begins, then turns and glares at Ala and the Kobold. "Only me respect fer tha Holy Warrior stays me hand, eff. By Oberon's hairy beard, ye best prove he trust founded!" The dwarf glares at her as if daring her to challenge him. Dwarves do not back down easily and Krueger does not break eye contact.
 

Liam sighs to himself and does his best to ignore the arguement raging in the camp. He'd already had his say on this issue, and he thought that his words had been listened to. Apparently however, nobody could leave well enough alone and they all insisted on picking at the issue like a half healed scab. He lays down on the ground and wraps his cloak around him as he curls up and tries to sleep.
 

"Did the kobolds ever really get the chance? I suspect that a kobold that shows behaviour we would call good would shorten his life considerably. Even if "only" exiled, he'd have to cope with the dangers of the Underlands - and I believe they are more dangerous than the Overlands - and not eing accepted anywhere. That is why I'm willing to give each one chance. The kobold captain chose poorly, and he paid for it."
Sel'Tarien turns to Skatha "Skatha, you will find that many have a hard time trusting you. And it won't get much easier for you, especially as we approach cities. You will need to earn that trust, and even then, prejudice will always be present in some people. But the first step is always the hardest."
Sel'Tarien tries to whisper so he does not wake up those who already sleep.
 

"It is a small pebble that starts the mighty avalance!" Erlik rocks back with mouth agape as the confrontation unfolds before him "though I did not mean for this!

Let the words of this day be cast away and be forgotten, let us rise on gentle wings and in the morning let us start new with the dawn. Honour will be restored when our mission is completed."

Looking to Skatha he frowns a sad and melancholy expression "Better a pet with no freedom than a captive with no right" he muses "but such is fate..."
 

Upon hearing the words of Erlik and Sel'Tarien, Krueger gives several snorts and a chortle but can't seem to form words in his exasperation. Frustrated, the dwarf storms off toward the river.

***EDIT***
I chose to edit this post down to this point which seems the proper place for the RPs that follow... Everything's changed :D

Ala never flinches, even for an instant, as the dwarf bellows and rages in her face. Finally, as he starts to leave, her emerald eyes still boring into him, she quips, "Nice speech, suren, but my question remains unanswered, dwarf." She spits the last word and there is no hiding the venom in her voice.

She then turns to Sonrik. "Any who, may I ask, made you the authority o'er this band? Your words mean no more to me than do those of the dwarf's, considering your actions! I will tell you this, holy warrior - any who attempt to treat Skatha as anything less than a free being will have me to contend with. Any hostility towards Skatha will be treated as if you had done the same to me." Ala crosses her hands and plants her feet firmly. "Choose wisely..."
 

Not wanting to defy the priestess Erlik fades back away and heads to his tree... He scrambles up into his perch and makes himself comfortable resting until his time for watch comes about. More tired than he expected he yawns expressively, and rubs his eyes, his senses not yet alert as they ought to be

"Authority?", says Sonrik, "I simply put the lives of our village over those of our aggressors. Your posturing has proven nothing, except that you are blind to the presence of evil. THAT I am an authority on, Ala. Your decision has created a threat to our safety. Do you deny it?", says the young man. "Do you?"
