FLASHBACK
Godsday, 4th of Brewfest
Tenchi's quivering muscles felt much better by morning. He got up and practiced some meditative excercises. He then went downstairs and met the refreshed group. He announced "All right... I've been thinking about it, and I think it would be irresponsible of us to leave a maturing dragon in the depths of the Citadel. I say we destroy it." The others somberly agreed.
They met Kryn and Meepo at the outskirts, who'd both enjoyed a significantly less comfortable night. Kryn seemed fairly cranky for a holy man. Meepo was told that they were going to rescue Calcryx, and his eyes brightened. "Great!" he said. "Give me a weapon!"
They descended once more into the ruins of the Citadel. At the door where they'd seen the frozen goblin smash into pieces, they readied and opened the door.
This room was a mess... Calcryx had broken loose of his leash and destroyed the little trophy room. Ornamental stuffed heads of rats and kobolds hung on the walls, and smashed debris lay all over. The floor and walls were coated in thin layers of ice. Meepo threw his hands up with joy at seeing his beloved pet and cried "CAAAALCRYX!!" The dragon turned its head at the familiar voice- and leapt forth, attacking!
Apparently it preferred its new home as mascot of the goblins in a large room to that of its previous home in a small cage. It was NOT happy to see the cheerful kobold, and spewed a fifteen-foot long cone of icy wind. Most of the party was caught in it, but no one was seriously injured. Dekker, in fact, seemed to enjoy the icy blast on his badly burned upper torso.
Dartan announced "I just saw it through the might of Heironeous... it's evil." The party nodded. To Meepo's absolute horror, Dekker, Bree, Tenchi and Dartan rushed into the room with weapons swinging. They had lied to him- they were trying to kill his pet! "Noooo!" he yelled. "Don't kill him, he's just a baby!" Kryn held his leash firmly, and Meepo tried unsuccessfully to bite at his kneecaps.
The dragon was smashed to the ground and slain. Meepo sobbed in despair. "Aww, cheer up, Meepo..." Tenchi suggested. "You're now king of the kobolds! You're free now. Just don't let us ever hear of you or your people again, or we'll be back to finish the job."
Meepo nodded, still crying uncontrollably. He was let off his leash and walked slowly, head down, toward the kobold common area. His chest hitched and eyes teared. He was now king of the kobolds, but his spirit and his heart were broken.

Nice update Doc. I love the idea of Meepo seeking revenge. I shutter to think of a mid to high level Meepo.
I ran a similar deal with my players but instead of Meepo it was the Kobold queen. She ambushed the party with some 200 kobold troops. It was a DM's legistical nightmare but a fun time.
After you have written up the kobold "attack", I would like to know what revenge options you thought of before arriving at the one you did. It took me a while to decide what the queen would do. The party wiped out her entire clan in the citadel. I finally decided she would put together an army as quickly as possible and attack at night with surprise.
Anyway, a fun idea. I hope they go easy on poor old Meepo. By the way, my party used Meepo as cannon fodder and ended up throwing him into one of the spiked pits in the citadel - "accidentally". He didn't make it.

Meepo, the unholy chosen of Kurtulmak, hell-bent on revenge!
Poor Metus, I wonder if he dies enough if he'll choose either to not return, or just give-in to Vek and become a mummy. I'd hate to see his gravestone when he's finished though.
Here lies a valiant brother of the Order of Wee Jas <a division of Vek Mormont industries>.
- died Aug 12. big bad dragon
- died Sept 3. pack of kobold-dogs

Heh.
In the campaign I ran the Sunless Citadel, the group was very friendly to the kobolds in return for their help. Meepo, who for years had been trying to train the dragon without killing it, had developed his own martial arts style -- of sorts.
So, much later in the campaign, the very high-level party dropped in on the Citadel for a visit. There they ran into a Young Adult Calcryx and a very high-level (and old -- I decided kobolds had a short life-span) Meepo the Monk. He even offered to train them in the "Dragon Style" of combat.
It was a fun encounter. The group still chuckles about Meepo occasionally.
