[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 8007043, member: 16069"] [CENTER][B]Dark Squad in the Sunless Citadel[/B][/CENTER] [B]Session #002b Ramshambo the Silent speaks. Dark Squad (in alphabetical order, no egos here). Garumn (played by Stu) Male Mountain Dwarf Paladin of Moradin Lvl 1 Ramshambo (played by Kev) Male Half-Elf Rogue Lvl 1 Vincenzo (played by Haggis) Male Shifter (Wildhunt) Druid Lvl 1[/B] “Majesty”, the rogue bowed low before the kobold queen, Yusdrayl- who tittered (or else yapped) quietly, perhaps coquettishly. “As brave Dragonkeeper Meepo stated, we have been sent from the great dragon above to aid you in your present time of troubles, the dastardly goblins will be made to suffer for their incursion into your magnificent realm.” “Oh, that’s nice.” The kobold queen replied, her eyes sparkled with delight. Standing behind the kow-towing rogue, Garumn and Vinnie exchanged glances, and then shrugs. “Keep yer hand on yer blade, druid.” The dwarf muttered sotto voce. Vinnie nodded his agreement, and then carried on counting kobolds- there were eleven of the creatures now- before them, behind them- and several more glaring and staring at the unfolding scene from various now-open doorways. [ATTACH type="full" alt="004 Yusdrayl.jpg"]122626[/ATTACH] The conversation between the charming rogue and the enthralled Yusdrayl trundled on, every now and then yet another kobold wandered into the pillared hall to marvel at the three adventurers, and the scene unfolding. “Fourteen”, the druid muttered to Garumn. “Fourteen what?” the dwarf snapped back. “Koboldz… wait- wait, fifteen- zat’s quite a lot. He’d better know what he iz doing.” Vinnie nodded at Ram, still chirruping at Yusdrayl, mostly in draconic but every now and then the pair switched over to the common tongue. A few minutes later, and the nervous pair are now standing in the middle of an ever expanding circle of kobolds- over two dozen of the little beasts dodging back and forth. The smaller specimens, the kids, scampering in every now and then to attempt to grasp at Vincenzo’s shirt sleeve, or else to lay a hand on Garumn’s mail. A game of tig that could end in tears. At last, Ramshambo sauntered over to his companions, in the background the kobold queen had suddenly burst into frantic action, kicking her cohorts and screeching orders. “So, the queen- Yusdrayl, thinks we’ve been sent by the great dragon, or something similar- we’ve a list of tasks, apparently the goblins are very naughty buggers down here. They’ve stolen the kobold’s dragon…”, the last word of the sentence is delivered with a half-shrug, half-snigger. “She wants us to get it back, and to rescue a bunch of kobolds that were taken prisoner in the last goblin attack, and to kill a bunch of goblins while we’re at it. Oh, and if we kill the chief- well, that’d be a bonus.

Ram shrugs, “she said it was the key to the dragon door, if we get all the jobs done- she reckons, it’ll prove we are the chosen ones.” “That’s nice”, Garumn growls back, unimpressed. The three adventurers fall silent for a moment, content themselves to watch kobolds scurry. “Did you zee ze scrollz?” Vinnie enquires again. “What are they doing now?” Garumn barks again, the kobolds in the chamber are now rapidly scurrying back and forth, yelping and snarling- tottering around carrying a variety of objects- a large cauldron, bundles of wood, and at least three large squirming sacks. “Feast.
