[2/16/2013 8:54:59 PM] Harah: You were preparing to rest for the night in the chambers of a succubus, long since departed. [2/16/2013 8:55:20 PM] Harah: You found those chambers were occupied, by an elf calling herself Taeli, who wanted to kill Kalanor for being a slaver. [2/16/2013 8:55:47 PM] Harah: Kalanor turned out to be a Drow. Taeli still wants to kill him. She's alone in the succubus living room with Mumu. [2/16/2013 8:56:03 PM] Harah: Meanwhile, Kalanor is alone in the improvised stable room with Khiro, and the horses. [2/16/2013 8:56:46 PM] Mumu: Why do you want to kill him? To kill a man who is as of now our prisoner? [2/16/2013 8:56:58 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((Also kalanor revealed himself to be a woman.)) [2/16/2013 8:57:22 PM] Harah: Yes. And claims he was forcibly shapeshifted by the group of Drow that kidnapped his sister. [2/16/2013 8:57:53 PM] Harah: Taeli: Because he's a slaver. [2/16/2013 8:58:14 PM] Mumu: Not anymore it would seem. [2/16/2013 8:59:28 PM] Harah: Taeli: He lies. [2/16/2013 8:59:36 PM] Harah: Taeli shrugs. [2/16/2013 9:01:15 PM] Mumu: Perhaps. But that is still an assumption. [2/16/2013 9:01:22 PM] Mumu: You would kill on an assumption? [2/16/2013 9:01:49 PM] Harah: Taeli: No, we *know* he lies. [2/16/2013 9:02:07 PM] Harah: Taeli: And no way of knowing how much he continues to lie. [2/16/2013 9:03:47 PM] Mumu: And you will find out the truth from his corpse? [2/16/2013 9:04:29 PM] Harah: Taeli: No, but killing him means we don't have to worry about what was true and what wasn't. [2/16/2013 9:06:39 PM] Mumu: That's not even _efficient_! That is just mindless cruelty. [2/16/2013 9:07:22 PM] Harah: Taeli: Why? He's a slaver, you said yourself he was... how did you put it? Full of negative energy? [2/16/2013 9:07:53 PM] Mumu: ...evil. But I refuse to kill anyone who does not try to kill me. [2/16/2013 9:08:46 PM] Mumu: And they are keeping a girl hostage. You are going to assume what she is like based on what he is? [2/16/2013 9:10:04 PM] Harah: Taeli: ... we can save her anyway. [2/16/2013 9:10:13 PM] Harah: Taeli: ... if she turns out to warrant it. [2/16/2013 9:11:11 PM] Mumu: With no knowledge of how to navigate this city of theirs? [2/16/2013 9:11:20 PM] Mumu: Or any idea of where she might be held? [2/16/2013 9:11:29 PM] Mumu: And how do you think she would feel if we killed her brother? [2/16/2013 9:11:40 PM] Mumu: ...sister. [2/16/2013 9:12:02 PM] Harah: Taeli: ... all right, all right. We rescue the slaves first, and then kill him. I only hope he waits to betray us until then. [2/16/2013 9:12:30 PM] Mumu: ...We kill him if he truly warrants it and if he tries to kill -us-. [2/16/2013 9:12:47 PM] Harah: Taeli: I meant what I said. [2/16/2013 9:12:51 PM] Harah: She glowers at Mumu. [2/16/2013 9:14:08 PM] Mumu: As did I. [2/16/2013 9:14:13 PM] Mumu: Mumu glowers back [2/16/2013 9:14:28 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall returns in time for the glower-off. [2/16/2013 9:14:38 PM] Khiro Brightfall: .... so, you guys getting along, then? [2/16/2013 9:14:56 PM] Harah: Taeli: Yes. We let the Drow live. [2/16/2013 9:15:00 PM] Harah: Kalanor follows him in. [2/16/2013 9:15:02 PM] Mumu: Yes. [2/16/2013 9:15:11 PM] Harah: Kalanor, sourly: Thank you ever so much. [2/16/2013 9:15:55 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Kalanor helps us rescue slaves and navigate the city, we rescue Kalanor's sister. [2/16/2013 9:16:01 PM] Khiro Brightfall: That's the deal. [2/16/2013 9:16:19 PM] Harah: Taeli: Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you. [2/16/2013 9:17:13 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Why do I get the feeling that you won't stop warning us? [2/16/2013 9:17:33 PM] Harah: Taeli: It's your funeral. [2/16/2013 9:17:41 PM] Harah: Kalanor glowers. [2/16/2013 9:17:52 PM] Harah: Now everybody's doing it except Khiro. [2/16/2013 9:18:10 PM] Khiro Brightfall: tell them I want my corpse to be attached to one of those gnomish gunpowder rockets and fired into the sky. [2/16/2013 9:18:40 PM] Harah: Taeli rolls her eyes and starts sharpening her sword. [2/16/2013 9:18:48 PM] Harah: Kalanor smiles, briefly. [2/16/2013 9:20:35 PM] Khiro Brightfall: we still need some rest. I'll need to prepare some new spells. [2/16/2013 9:20:50 PM] Harah: Kalanor: All right. I suppose you won't want me keeping watch. [2/16/2013 9:20:53 PM] Harah: Taeli: No. [2/16/2013 9:21:09 PM] Mumu: ...I have to agree on that point. [2/16/2013 9:21:34 PM] Harah: You hear a grinding noise! It's Kalanor's teeth. [2/16/2013 9:22:37 PM] Khiro Brightfall: How much sleep does a Kobold need, Mumu? [2/16/2013 9:23:03 PM] Mumu: ...8 hours. [2/16/2013 9:24:17 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Well, elves need four, and you've got her. [2/16/2013 9:24:21 PM | Edited 9:24:28 PM] Harah: He points to Taeli. [2/16/2013 9:24:39 PM] Harah: Taeli shakes her head. "I'm not full-blood elf." [2/16/2013 9:26:55 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ... eight hours, then. I'll take first watch. [2/16/2013 9:27:25 PM] Harah: Kalanor: So, because you don't trust me, you'll be here an extra... four hours. [2/16/2013 9:28:38 PM] Khiro Brightfall: How far are we from the city? [2/16/2013 9:29:57 PM] Harah: Kalanor: About another half a day. I thought it would be best if we rested again and planned a little more before we actually went in, though. [2/16/2013 9:30:58 PM] Harah: Kalanor: I can disguise you both; there's makeup I can use for either of you. And Mumu will be a gladiator. [2/16/2013 9:32:24 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Using my magic for that would be pretty inefficent. [2/16/2013 9:32:52 PM] Harah: Kalanor: You don't have to. [2/16/2013 9:33:04 PM] Harah: Taeli: I can do my own makeup, I don't need you for that, Drow. [2/16/2013 9:33:22 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Of course you all realize that she'll be in charge. [2/16/2013 9:34:07 PM] Harah: Kalanor: She's the woman. [2/16/2013 9:34:11 PM] Mumu: If she can make rational decisions [2/16/2013 9:34:34 PM] Harah: Kalanor: We're pretending to be Drow. The women are in charge in our culture, not the men. [2/16/2013 9:34:44 PM] Mumu: ...odd. [2/16/2013 9:35:44 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Unless the subject is cooking or something, you can pretty much assume the woman is in charge. [2/16/2013 9:36:46 PM] Harah: Taeli: Do you think I'll abuse the power like you did, Drow? [2/16/2013 9:36:53 PM] Harah: Kalanor: I *have* a name. [2/16/2013 9:37:36 PM] Harah: Taeli: Ask me if I care. [2/16/2013 9:37:45 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Clearly you don't. [2/16/2013 9:39:19 PM] Harah: He hands Taeli something; she looks at it as if it were a snake or about to explode. It's actually just a small ruler-shaped object. [2/16/2013 9:39:21 PM] Harah: Taeli: What is it? [2/16/2013 9:39:54 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Sunrod. Break it if you need light. [2/16/2013 9:40:25 PM] Harah: Kalanor then hands a slim rod seemingly made out of glass to Mumu. "And you should take that. Just in case." [2/16/2013 9:40:38 PM] Harah: Taeli: Why are you giving it to me? [2/16/2013 9:40:51 PM] Harah: Kalanor: It's a custom, don't ask. And no, it's not going to explode in your face. [2/16/2013 9:42:28 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall sits down and starts studying his spellbook! [2/16/2013 9:42:35 PM] Mumu: Mumu looks at it [2/16/2013 9:42:41 PM] Mumu: ...is it the same thing? [2/16/2013 9:42:49 PM] Harah: Kalanor: No. It's a cure wand. Just in case. [2/16/2013 9:42:54 PM] Mumu: Thank you. [2/16/2013 9:43:08 PM] Harah: Kalanor: You're welcome. I'm going to rest. [2/16/2013 9:43:13 PM] Harah: He stomps back into the bedroom. [2/16/2013 9:43:23 PM] Harah: Taeli shrugs and wanders into the "stable." [2/16/2013 9:45:04 PM] Harah: Unless you guys have something to say to each other, I'll fastforward it. [2/16/2013 9:46:09 PM] Khiro Brightfall: (Nothin here!)) [2/16/2013 9:46:18 PM] Harah: *nod* And Mumu? [2/16/2013 9:48:36 PM] Mumu: (( Nothing )) [2/16/2013 9:48:49 PM] Mumu: (( My head...blargh. I think I'm getting the stomach flu... ) [2/16/2013 9:48:54 PM] Mumu: (( Really bad this year )) [2/16/2013 9:48:55 PM] Harah: ((Not good.)) [2/16/2013 9:49:05 PM] Harah: ((Can you keep going or should we stop?)) [2/16/2013 9:49:57 PM] Mumu: (( I feel like I'm about to vomit on my screen, so...pausing might be the best option )) [2/16/2013 9:50:14 PM] Harah: ((Yeah, let's stop for now. Hopefully I do get a chance to try what I was planning.)) [2/16/2013 9:50:29 PM] Mumu: (( I'm sorry... )) [2/16/2013 10:03:58 PM] Mumu: (( Alright, I'm back )) [2/16/2013 10:04:08 PM] Mumu: (( ...from puking my guts out, but back )) [2/16/2013 10:04:23 PM] Mumu: (( Can continue a little, feeling better kinda )) [2/16/2013 10:07:40 PM] Harah: ((Meh. You're sick.)) [2/16/2013 10:07:51 PM] Mumu: (( I wanna keep going )) [2/16/2013 10:08:24 PM] Harah: ((Are you sure?)) [2/16/2013 10:08:29 PM] Mumu: (( Yus )) [2/16/2013 10:08:40 PM] Harah: Okay. [2/16/2013 10:08:59 PM] Harah: About four hours later you hear a rumbling noise. [2/16/2013 10:09:07 PM] Harah: It starts quietly and then gets louder and louder. [2/16/2013 10:09:20 PM] Mumu: Mumu looks around [2/16/2013 10:09:36 PM] Harah: You wake up! [2/16/2013 10:09:38 PM] Harah: The cave is shaking. [2/16/2013 10:09:45 PM] Harah: Kalanor skitters out of the bedroom. "What's going on?" [2/16/2013 10:09:49 PM] Harah: Taeli: Earthquake. [2/16/2013 10:10:07 PM] Harah: Taeli: We could be buried down here. [2/16/2013 10:10:09 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Does that happen a lot down here? [2/16/2013 10:10:33 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Not frequently, but occasionally. Drow usually have stoneshapers who mitigate the effects. [2/16/2013 10:11:08 PM] Mumu: They do not mitigate the effects in their own tunnels? [2/16/2013 10:11:30 PM] Harah: Kalanor shakes his head. "These aren't Drow tunnels yet. Disputed territory." [2/16/2013 10:11:40 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Disputed by whom? [2/16/2013 10:11:55 PM] Harah: Kalanor: A couple of different groups. Duergar, kobolds. [2/16/2013 10:13:16 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Kobolds? [2/16/2013 10:13:34 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Several clans live down here. [2/16/2013 10:13:47 PM] Mumu: ...there are kobolds here? [2/16/2013 10:13:52 PM] Mumu: Mumu blinks [2/16/2013 10:13:59 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Yes. ... none of your.... size. [2/16/2013 10:14:35 PM] Mumu: ...they are the size of commonfolk, then. [2/16/2013 10:14:38 PM] Mumu: Mumu headtilts [2/16/2013 10:14:39 PM] Mumu: Odd [2/16/2013 10:14:45 PM] Mumu: They have no nobility? [2/16/2013 10:15:01 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... I don't know how kobold society works. [2/16/2013 10:15:26 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Let's just say the kobolds here don't seem like the same breed as your people. [2/16/2013 10:15:49 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... no. Not at all. [2/16/2013 10:16:28 PM] Harah: The rumbling quiets a bit, and then ends. [2/16/2013 10:16:51 PM] Harah: Kalanor looks up. "There could be some aftershocks, but it's probably safe to go back to t... rest." [2/16/2013 10:17:12 PM] Mumu: Hrm? [2/16/2013 10:17:36 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Back to trance. You people sleep. [2/16/2013 10:17:42 PM] Harah: He eyes Taeli and Mumu. [2/16/2013 10:17:56 PM] Mumu: Ah. [2/16/2013 10:18:22 PM] Harah: Kalanor heads back to the bedroom. [2/16/2013 10:18:30 PM] Harah: Taeli rubs her eyes and shrugs, heading back to the stable. [2/16/2013 10:18:44 PM] Harah: You go back to sleep/trance! [2/16/2013 10:18:56 PM] Harah: Eventually Mumu gets awakened to keep watch, followed by Taeli. [2/16/2013 10:19:18 PM] Harah: Then it's morning! [2/16/2013 10:19:30 PM] Harah: At least you assume so, because you're underneath the earth, so there's no sun here. [2/16/2013 10:20:55 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Yep! [2/16/2013 10:20:55 PM] Harah: Kalanor comes out, harp in hand, and Taeli wanders in from the stable. [2/16/2013 10:21:43 PM] Mumu: We are ready to continue, then? [2/16/2013 10:21:50 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall nods. "I'm ready." [2/16/2013 10:22:17 PM] Harah: You saddle up your horses and animals and head off! [2/16/2013 10:22:19 PM] Harah: Taeli walks. [2/16/2013 10:23:34 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall rides! [2/16/2013 10:23:51 PM] Harah: You head out! [2/16/2013 10:24:00 PM] Harah: What's your marching order? [2/16/2013 10:24:45 PM] Khiro Brightfall: I still vote to put the heavily armored lizard with darkvision first. [2/16/2013 10:24:59 PM] Harah: Indeed! [2/16/2013 10:25:17 PM] Harah: So um, Mumu, Taeli, Khiro, Kalanor? [2/16/2013 10:25:21 PM] Mumu: Mumu goes first [2/16/2013 10:25:28 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Works for me. [2/16/2013 10:25:37 PM] Harah: You head out! and start descending the slowly curving path down to the presumable floor of the cavern. [2/16/2013 10:26:01 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall keeps a wary eye out for... well, anything, really. [2/16/2013 10:26:24 PM] Harah: It takes a long time, but eventually you get to the floor of the cavern without further incident. [2/16/2013 10:26:56 PM] Harah: Kalanor directs you past several exits and then into another narrower cave. [2/16/2013 10:27:01 PM] Harah: It is dark. [2/16/2013 10:27:06 PM] Harah: You have not yet been eaten by a grue. [2/16/2013 10:27:19 PM] Mumu: I am curious to see these underground kobolds... [2/16/2013 10:27:35 PM] Harah: Taeli: Your people do not live underground? [2/16/2013 10:27:36 PM] Khiro Brightfall: They are generally pretty unfriendly. [2/16/2013 10:29:29 PM] Harah: Kalanor: They eat humanoid flesh. [2/16/2013 10:30:12 PM] Mumu: ...oh [2/16/2013 10:30:15 PM] Mumu: Oh dear [2/16/2013 10:30:35 PM] Mumu: The path ahead is blocked [2/16/2013 10:30:48 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall stops his horse. "How is it blocked?" [2/16/2013 10:31:52 PM] Mumu: Debris [2/16/2013 10:32:01 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Can we clear it? [2/16/2013 10:32:04 PM] Mumu: I can see no way around... [2/16/2013 10:32:12 PM] Mumu: ...we may be able to, but it will take time [2/16/2013 10:32:14 PM] Mumu: Best start now [2/16/2013 10:32:18 PM] Mumu: Mumu gets off his dog [2/16/2013 10:32:24 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Wait. [2/16/2013 10:32:28 PM] Mumu: Hrm? [2/16/2013 10:32:33 PM] Harah: Kalanor: It's not stable enough to clear. [2/16/2013 10:32:45 PM] Harah: Kalanor: If we start moving around big chunks of earth we could cause a cave in. [2/16/2013 10:33:29 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Well? You know another way around? [2/16/2013 10:33:46 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... we'll have to try. [2/16/2013 10:33:58 PM] Harah: He turns his horse around and starts back to the big cavern. [2/16/2013 10:34:56 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall follows! [2/16/2013 10:36:17 PM] Harah: Your party turns around and heads back to the big cavern and its many, many outlets. [2/16/2013 10:36:21 PM] Harah: Many. [2/16/2013 10:36:31 PM] Harah: There are at least twenty-five other exits to choose from. Maybe more. [2/16/2013 10:36:37 PM] Harah: Kalanor looks at them all doubtfully. [2/16/2013 10:36:45 PM] Mumu: ...which should we take? [2/16/2013 10:37:09 PM] Mumu: ...my people have a ritual for making such choices [2/16/2013 10:37:12 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall looks at them, looking for signs of traffic or something? [2/16/2013 10:37:13 PM] Mumu: Mumu takes a deep breath [2/16/2013 10:37:22 PM] Mumu: Mumu starts point to each one with his eyes closed [2/16/2013 10:37:31 PM] Mumu: Eenie meeni miney mo... [2/16/2013 10:37:36 PM] Harah: Hee! [2/16/2013 10:37:47 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((stop invoking your foreign gods!)) [2/16/2013 10:37:52 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... it's as good a method as any. [2/16/2013 10:38:06 PM] Harah: Taeli rubs her forehead. "Now that he's useless, can I kill him?" [2/16/2013 10:38:25 PM] Mumu: Mumu continues [2/16/2013 10:38:35 PM] Mumu: ...my mother told me to pick the very best one and I choose YOU! [2/16/2013 10:38:40 PM] Mumu: Mumu points to the left most cave [2/16/2013 10:38:45 PM] Mumu: I suppose it is that way. [2/16/2013 10:39:09 PM] Harah: Kalanor: I am *not* useless. [2/16/2013 10:39:10 PM] Khiro Brightfall: No, you can't kill anyone. [2/16/2013 10:39:22 PM] Harah: Taeli: Hmph. [2/16/2013 10:39:34 PM] Harah: You all head down that branch of the cave! [2/16/2013 10:40:06 PM] Harah: It's a quiet ride, with Kalanor and Taeli glowering at each other in the dim light of the cave mold. [2/16/2013 10:40:14 PM] Harah: Spot/listen check! [2/16/2013 10:40:51 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((10!)) [2/16/2013 10:41:52 PM] Mumu: (( 10 as well )) [2/16/2013 10:42:02 PM] Harah: Taeli: .... what's that noise? [2/16/2013 10:42:13 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall listens! [2/16/2013 10:42:34 PM] Mumu: Mumu does as well [2/16/2013 10:43:08 PM] Harah: Kalanor hears it at about the same time you do. "... it's a battle. I hear weapons and shouting..." [2/16/2013 10:43:39 PM] Mumu: ...a battle? We should investigate. [2/16/2013 10:44:03 PM] Harah: Taeli: Someone might be in trouble. Hurry! [2/16/2013 10:44:23 PM] Mumu: Mumu goes [2/16/2013 10:44:29 PM] Mumu: Mumu also draws his sword [2/16/2013 10:44:50 PM] Harah: You all proceed down the cave, until it opens up into another sizable cavern. [2/16/2013 10:45:16 PM] Harah: There you see an epic battle! Even if you only have lowlight vision, because wallmold. [2/16/2013 10:45:51 PM] Mumu: (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h0heT3sVas )) [2/16/2013 10:45:52 PM] Harah: It's apparently been an epic battle, anyway. You're coming in on the end of it. [2/16/2013 10:45:53 PM] Mumu: (( >_> )) [2/16/2013 10:45:57 PM] Mumu: (( <_< )) [2/16/2013 10:46:21 PM] Harah: There are three kobolds facing off against ten dwarves, and the dwarves have them surrounded. [2/16/2013 10:46:35 PM] Mumu: Mumu looks...isn't sure who to help... [2/16/2013 10:46:42 PM] Mumu: Hey! [2/16/2013 10:46:52 PM] Harah: One of the dwarves chops off one of the kobold's heads. [2/16/2013 10:46:55 PM] Harah: Two kobolds left. [2/16/2013 10:47:12 PM] Mumu: Mumu growls and charges...the dwarves! [2/16/2013 10:47:33 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall frowns! [2/16/2013 10:47:35 PM] Harah: Kalanor hesitates, then takes out his sword, dismounts and runs after Mumu! [2/16/2013 10:47:39 PM] Harah: So does Taeli. [2/16/2013 10:48:30 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall gets ready to cast a spell. [2/16/2013 10:48:35 PM] Mumu: Mumu detects evil as he's charging though... [2/16/2013 10:48:53 PM] Harah: A few of the dwarves, seeing themselves assaulted by a bunch of people, turn and run, while the others hack at the kobolds. [2/16/2013 10:49:09 PM] Harah: There's definitely some evil going on. [2/16/2013 10:49:41 PM] Harah: As Mumu hits first, the other dwarves break and run, scattering throughout the cavern. [2/16/2013 10:49:51 PM] Harah: You can chase them or see if any kobolds have survived. [2/16/2013 10:50:07 PM] Mumu: Mumu looks at the kobolds [2/16/2013 10:50:29 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 10:50:31 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall doesn't bother to cast anything. [2/16/2013 10:50:34 PM] Mumu: (( Koboldese go )) [2/16/2013 10:50:47 PM] Harah: Hee. They speak Draconic. [2/16/2013 10:50:54 PM] Harah: Alas, none of them have survived. [2/16/2013 10:51:09 PM] Mumu: Mumu growls [2/16/2013 10:51:18 PM] Harah: None of them seem to be wearing much in the way of clothing either. [2/16/2013 10:51:21 PM] Harah: Search check! [2/16/2013 10:51:39 PM] Mumu: (( 14 )) [2/16/2013 10:52:01 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((8! I GOT AN 8!)) [2/16/2013 10:54:52 PM] Harah: Spot checks! [2/16/2013 10:55:08 PM] Mumu: ...they fell upon them while they were sleeping [2/16/2013 10:55:14 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((16)) [2/16/2013 10:55:24 PM] Mumu: Treacherous...small men [2/16/2013 10:55:29 PM] Mumu: ...what are they? [2/16/2013 10:55:33 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Dwarves. [2/16/2013 10:55:49 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Duergar, technically. [2/16/2013 10:56:03 PM] Mumu: Duergar [2/16/2013 10:56:09 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Insane. [2/16/2013 10:56:19 PM] Harah: Kalanor: They're mad. [2/16/2013 10:57:09 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall gets off his horse and moves toward one of the bedroll, sword drawn. [2/16/2013 10:57:57 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... what is it? [2/16/2013 10:58:19 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall uses the sword to lift the bedroll. [2/16/2013 10:58:26 PM] Harah: It's another kobold! [2/16/2013 10:58:31 PM] Mumu: ... [2/16/2013 10:58:36 PM] Harah: A *tiny* one. [2/16/2013 10:58:37 PM] Mumu: Mumu looks at the kobold disapprovingly [2/16/2013 10:58:49 PM] Mumu: How old are you? [2/16/2013 10:58:53 PM] Harah: It's trembling pretty hard. [2/16/2013 10:59:10 PM] Mumu: Mumu says this in draconic [2/16/2013 10:59:24 PM] Harah: It just *stares* at him. [2/16/2013 10:59:58 PM] Mumu: Mumu kneels down next to it [2/16/2013 11:00:07 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:01:07 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:01:52 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:02:03 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:02:21 PM] Harah: The little kobold hops over to one of the dead kobolds and starts shaking it. [2/16/2013 11:02:31 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:02:45 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:03:10 PM] Harah: Taeli translates to Kalanor. [2/16/2013 11:03:13 PM] Harah: And Khiro. [2/16/2013 11:03:23 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:03:26 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((Khiro speaks Draconic.)) [2/16/2013 11:03:36 PM] Harah: Indeed; she doesn't know that. [2/16/2013 11:03:39 PM] Mumu: Mumu rests a hand on the little kobold's shoulder [2/16/2013 11:03:58 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall is looking over the rest of the scene. [2/16/2013 11:04:06 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Seeing if he spots anything else. [2/16/2013 11:04:28 PM] Harah: The little kobold ignores the big one! [2/16/2013 11:04:42 PM] Harah: There's some supplies to loot! [2/16/2013 11:05:00 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall sees if there's anything useful. [2/16/2013 11:05:05 PM] Mumu: Mumu is busy making sure they don't come back to kill the little kobold [2/16/2013 11:05:23 PM] Harah: There's some food supplies. [2/16/2013 11:05:31 PM] Harah: Mushrooms, mold, a hunk of meat. [2/16/2013 11:05:46 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall looks at the meat dubiously! [2/16/2013 11:06:09 PM] Harah: The tiny kobold starts to cry! [2/16/2013 11:06:15 PM] Harah: There's no sign of the dwarves. [2/16/2013 11:06:45 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall sets the meat aside. [2/16/2013 11:07:17 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:08:41 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall frowns at the child, continuing searching, looking the way the dwarves departed. [2/16/2013 11:09:29 PM] Harah: That way there's yet another entrance to more caves. [2/16/2013 11:09:30 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:09:45 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:10:02 PM] Mumu: <...he is no longer alive. He will not wake up.> [2/16/2013 11:11:26 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:11:42 PM] Harah: The tiny lizardboy looks up at Mumu, eyes bright with tears! [2/16/2013 11:12:06 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:12:11 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:12:32 PM] Mumu:  [2/16/2013 11:12:54 PM] Harah: He looks at Mumu blankly and then points at another dead kobold. [2/16/2013 11:13:09 PM] Mumu: Mumu blinks [2/16/2013 11:13:18 PM] Mumu: <...that is your mother?> [2/16/2013 11:14:22 PM] Harah: He nodnodnods. [2/16/2013 11:14:28 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Now what? [2/16/2013 11:14:46 PM] Harah: Taeli: We can't keep a child with us on a slave raid. [2/16/2013 11:14:53 PM] Mumu: <...do you not have a village?> [2/16/2013 11:14:54 PM] Harah: Kalanor: You'd prefer to leave him behind? [2/16/2013 11:15:06 PM] Mumu: ...we will not leave him here [2/16/2013 11:15:09 PM] Harah: The kid looks at Mumu and holds his arms out to him. [2/16/2013 11:15:29 PM] Mumu: Mumu looks at the tiny kobold...and gives him a hug [2/16/2013 11:15:46 PM] Harah: The koboldlet climbs up into Mumu's arms. [2/16/2013 11:15:52 PM] Khiro Brightfall: The dwarves might be coming back. [2/16/2013 11:15:59 PM] Mumu: Then we must go. [2/16/2013 11:16:09 PM] Mumu: We cannot have a kid in the midst of a fight. [2/16/2013 11:16:16 PM] Harah: Taeli: Where can we leave him? [2/16/2013 11:16:23 PM] Harah: Taeli: That it will be safe? [2/16/2013 11:16:31 PM] Mumu: He does not seem to have a village... [2/16/2013 11:16:39 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Don't look at me, I'm not a kobold. [2/16/2013 11:16:40 PM] Mumu: If we can find no safe place he stays with us. [2/16/2013 11:16:49 PM] Harah: Taeli: We *can't* bring him with us on a raid! [2/16/2013 11:16:52 PM] Khiro Brightfall: What about the succubus' haven? [2/16/2013 11:17:00 PM | Removed 11:17:14 PM] Mumu: This message has been removed. [2/16/2013 11:17:05 PM | Removed 11:17:17 PM] Mumu: This message has been removed. [2/16/2013 11:17:19 PM] Khiro Brightfall: I think there's a hunk of dwarf meat right here. [2/16/2013 11:17:23 PM] Mumu: He is far too young to be left alone. [2/16/2013 11:17:52 PM] Khiro Brightfall: What do you suggest then, Mumu? [2/16/2013 11:18:15 PM] Mumu: ...he could play the part of my son.. [2/16/2013 11:18:47 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... we'll make it work. [2/16/2013 11:18:50 PM] Harah: Taeli: It's too dangerous! [2/16/2013 11:19:15 PM] Mumu: I can also bring him to the surface. But...he would likely not last there either. [2/16/2013 11:19:22 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Taeli, the *drow* is being more compassionate than you right now. just a head's up. [2/16/2013 11:20:16 PM] Harah: Taeli: I'm not saying we abandon him, I'm just saying we should bring him to the surface and leave him at an orphanage somewhere. [2/16/2013 11:21:09 PM] Khiro Brightfall: All right. Mumu? [2/16/2013 11:22:04 PM] Mumu: Mumu nods [2/16/2013 11:22:06 PM] Mumu: I agree [2/16/2013 11:22:34 PM] Harah: Kalanor: That will take too much time. My sister could be *dead* by the time we get there. [2/16/2013 11:23:59 PM] Mumu: Mumu hrms [2/16/2013 11:24:36 PM] Mumu: (( ...my brain is too tired for decisions like this D: )) [2/16/2013 11:25:27 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ... I don't know what to do here. [2/16/2013 11:25:55 PM] Harah: Kalanor: I say we bring him with us. [2/16/2013 11:26:06 PM] Harah: Taeli: And I say we delay the mission a few days to bring him up to the surface. [2/16/2013 11:26:20 PM] Harah: Kalanor: And there are *lots* of people who'll take in a baby kobold up there, are there? [2/16/2013 11:26:31 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Not at *all* viewed as monsters and animals, hm? [2/16/2013 11:27:30 PM] Khiro Brightfall: I don't know enough about Melenuin to answer that. [2/16/2013 11:27:47 PM] Khiro Brightfall: We can either take him with us or set him up in the haven. [2/16/2013 11:27:57 PM] Harah: Nobody likes kobolds, really. [2/16/2013 11:28:15 PM] Harah: There are a few around and they do mix with "civilized" society sometimes, but not  often. [2/16/2013 11:28:23 PM] Harah: And finding a caregiver might be tough. [2/16/2013 11:29:33 PM] Mumu: ...I do not know enough to go on that decision either... [2/16/2013 11:30:56 PM] Khiro Brightfall: It would take too long to get him set up with an orphanage on the surface. I say we either take him with us or set him up in the haven. [2/16/2013 11:33:10 PM] Mumu: We would need to take him with us. [2/16/2013 11:33:21 PM] Mumu: (( Okay, now my brain is fuzzing up again... )) [2/16/2013 11:33:41 PM] Harah: Taeli: That's a terrible idea! [2/16/2013 11:33:49 PM] Harah:  [2/16/2013 11:34:34 PM] Khiro Brightfall: How much attention would it attract to bring a juvenile kobold with us? [2/16/2013 11:34:38 PM] Khiro Brightfall: Khiro Brightfall asks Kalanor. [2/16/2013 11:35:14 PM] Harah: Kalanor: ... not much. Gladiators often get their own way. [2/16/2013 11:35:29 PM] Harah: Kalanor: One could conceivably keep his son with him. [2/16/2013 11:37:01 PM] Khiro Brightfall: All right, then. [2/16/2013 11:37:15 PM] Mumu: Mumu nods [2/16/2013 11:37:17 PM] Harah: Kalanor, in Draconic: Don't worry, little one, you're safe with us. [2/16/2013 11:37:25 PM] Harah: He adds in Common: ... I hope. [2/16/2013 11:38:35 PM] Mumu: <We will not let them hurt you.> [2/16/2013 11:38:46 PM] Khiro Brightfall: As safe with us as he would be elsewhere. [2/16/2013 11:39:02 PM] Harah: Kalanor: And less likely to become a cannibal. [2/16/2013 11:40:35 PM] Harah: Kalanor: Pretty cute for a hereditary enemy of my people. [2/16/2013 11:40:45 PM] Harah: ((We can stop here if you want/are not feeling up to it.)) [2/16/2013 11:41:25 PM] Mumu: (( Yeah, I'm tied. ...it is almost 1AM )) [2/16/2013 11:42:29 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((I think you should name him Mumu II. Or Robin.)) [2/16/2013 11:42:36 PM] Mumu: (( XD )) [2/16/2013 11:42:44 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((He can be your Young Ward.)) [2/16/2013 11:43:01 PM] Mumu: Alright, I'm gonna go to bed now )) [2/16/2013 11:43:04 PM] Mumu: Ni )) [2/16/2013 11:43:18 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((Gnight!)) [2/16/2013 11:43:41 PM] Harah: ((HE will get revenge on the men who KILLED HIS PARENTS.)) [2/16/2013 11:43:59 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((Oh my god, that's perfect.)) [2/16/2013 11:44:13 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((WHERE'S THE TRIGGER?!)) [2/16/2013 11:46:35 PM] Harah: ((Heheheheh.)) [2/16/2013 11:47:51 PM] Khiro Brightfall: ((I'm picturing young kobold speaking in an overly growly voice and getting lectured by Liam Neeson on the nature of fear.)) [2/16/2013 11:48:55 PM] Harah: ((Indeeeeeeed. Well he did see his parents murdered before his eyes. He's just lucky he didn't get to see them eaten too.)) [2/17/2013 6:14:56 PM] Harah: BatKobold! [2/17/2013 6:21:01 PM] Canto: "I am darkness!  I am the night!  I am BATKOBOLD." [2/17/2013 6:22:57 PM] Harah: I cannot wait to see what mumu does with him... [2/17/2013 6:23:26 PM] Canto: THere needs to be a JokerKobold, too. A Jokobold. [2/17/2013 6:24:49 PM] Harah: Be careful what you wish for...
