The Scarab

Hremelan straightens up as tall as his little frame will allow. "Aye, I'll b' ready to help, should there b' any trouble." He grasps his pouch of components and awaits the group to move ahead of him, very alert

As another stranger approached, reaching for a strange medallion as he approached, Delg suddenly felt a warmth rush through him as the man finished his chant.

Standing easily now, Delg bowed to the stranger.

"Me thanks t' ye fer th' help. I promise ye that ye won't regret it."

Looking back to Cassandra, Delg focused on her question before answering.

"I can guide ye t' Kezz if ye'd like, although ye all would be stickin' out like mad. T' walk around with ye face showin' is t' invite the wastes t' fill ye throat full o' sand and dust. "

Looking around for another waterskin, Delg pauses for a moment before answering the last part of the female's question.

"As fer me, I've been trained by th' brothers t' fight as well as many with just me hands, and me skull. They're not t' be callin' me Delg Ironskull fer fun, so I promise ye I won't be lettin' ye down if th' desert rats attack again."

Trying to ignore the loss of his gear, Delg hoped the others would not send him off with Diana, whoever she was, and allow him a chance to continue a search for his brother.

In response to Khulmbanos's plan to smoke the goblins out, Ashan shakes his head severely. "That's fundamentally dishonest.

"Bah. How chivalrous. Maybe we should send a herald in first, too."

Jarval said:
"Well, he's not going to be any use to us if he's going to pass out."

Khulmbanos opens his mouth to disagree, but remembers that there's no large bottle of poison on board, and keeps silent.
 

Osric claps the now healed dwarf on the shoulder.

"Glad to help. By the sounds of things, those scaly little bastards didn't play fair, so I say we go break some skulls."

He shoulders his pack, and checks his weapons. Satisfied with the state of his gear, Osric looks over at the caves.

"Any ideas as to which one to go in? Riss, are there any kobold tracks around the place?"
 

"Riss, are there any kobold tracks around the place?"

"I'll check," he says, and scurries off to inspect the cave entrances.

He makes an effort though to go about it quietly, so as not to alert anyone residing within.
 

"Smoking them out will do just as nicely as sending in a herald — probably better — it would be like beacon to every single predator or tribe in the area once the caverns couldn't hold the smoke, it'd rise up into the desert sky, and they'd all come scurrying in to grab what they could. If that doesn't happen, it still alerts every single beastie in the caverns that we're here. Do what you like, but I'm not game for that. I'm no bunny."

What the blazes!!!

As the rat creature moves past Delg looking for the desert rats tracks, the dwarf's wide eyed amazement is easy for everyone to see.

"What in th' sandy blazes was that?"

Looking to the female who saved him, as well as the other caller who healed him, Delg's mouth moves faster than his brain can compensate for.

"Is he travellin' with ye as well? Just who be ye all really? I'm still t' be owein' ye me life, but ye all can't be from any o' th' lands 'round here..."
 

Riss makes a quick scouting run around in the area of the stepped pyramid and the caves.

He can easily detect several sets of kobold footprints, as well as some large scavenger-type mammals. Possibly giant rats.

I just need to know when everyone is ready to go forward...

"Have we decided to move towards the Pyramids. We'll signal the Diana when we need her to come down for us. We'll plan on being back at nightfall either way."

"Delg, there universe is vast, with many peoples. Riss is a Nezumi. He is our companion. We are from far away, but we are not different from you. We have the same weaknesses & desires. If you accompany us, you will earn your share of any reward we find. As we come to know each other better, we may share more of our history."
 

Hremelan disembarks the Diana and stands ready for the group to move into the caves once the Nezumi assures them all that it is safe. He is quiet and reflective...Uh didn' know i' was gonna b' like this he thinks to himself.

[ooc: Hremelan is ready to enter the caves]
