*The combined words of Syrrian and Rokelsh seem to stem the lizardfolk's anger, or at least their murderous impulses. Letting their spears sag, the largest one nods.*
"Seess ib sacheron," he says to the others, who begin, reluctantly, tying up the prisoners. "Very well, we will imprison them for now. But our people will have justice!" he says, his Common nearly flawless, in sharp contrast to Hisk.
*Elexia, there are about three that are truly mortally wounded, and another eight that are hurt, but not as seriously. Other have lesser wounds; it seems no one escaped unscathed from this battle. You are welcomed by each lizardfolk as you go from person to person, healing them, and those that are able join you in helping stop the bleeding and ease the pain. Hisk works alongside you in setting bones and tying bandages. He seems to have had some experience in this before.*
*Damien, between you and Elexia, the worst of the wounded lizardfolk are plucked from the arms of Death, and many others will rest a great deal easier this night.*
*Gaoi, after examining the crater, you have a very bad feeling about this. This had to have been caused by the breath of a black dragon, and a big one at that.*
*Noddy, finding that there seems to be no other threats around the village, you begin to reconstruct what happened. A few of the lizardfolk children speak broken Common, and between several of them you get the following impression. The kobolds' attack was a surprise, but normally the little creatures couldn't harm a village of this size. The reason they were able to get the drop on the warriors was because Skord led the attack. Apparently the lizardfolk worship Skord (by all accounts a black dragon) as a god. But this god seems to have been very angry, as he attacked the village, led the warriors away, and set loose a veritable horde of kobolds. Most ran away after causing enough damage, and left most of their parents either dead or dying. The appearance of the party is seen as a miracle, and the return of their old shaman (Hisk) is part of it.*
