Bella gave a nod of thanks to Flint for the healing as most of her wounds closed. She looked at the kobold.

"Not all of them speak Common," she said to Rawenna, "Draconic they speak for sure, but I don't speak that language myself. Some also speak Undercommon, and I can try that. If someone else can try in Draconic."

She repeated what Rawenna had said in Undercommon, hoping that maybe that would work if the Common didn't.

"And tell it what, that we'll just grab our mushrooms and stop to lick its b..." Valeria stopped short of what impulsive tavern talk was about to spill out of her mouth, and then with a quick darted glance at Flint before adjusting her language, "...boots if it wants to show its face?"

 

She was totally being antagonistic, but many a tavern fight has taught her to be cautious at times.

Flint gags-coughs at Val's comments. Everyone was so serious at the moment that, so he forces himself to cough to prevent himself from laughing. "Sorry. throat's dry from the fight" he chokes out a half-hearted apology.

Trying to refocus on the task, "We should check the rooms nearest the kobold's escape. Do it while he is busy running awhile." Flint suggests as he starts to head in that direction.

The Search for a Cure - Post 28

---

In the serene silence that follows chaotic combat, the half-orc cook calls out to the hiding kobold, hoping to find some kind of peaceful accord with the little lizardman. When that doesn't elicit a response, Bella follows suit, translating Rawanne's words into Draconic in hopes that will bridge the gap between their two peoples.

Preparing for the worst, Damian crouches between the hall and the doorway, shield up and readied for anything. But, yet again, only silence is returned from the far end of the hall.

Valerie, quickly growing impatient of this waiting game, moves down the hall, reaches into the dark and closes the door. Flint, ever the protector, is close behind her, hand on the door on the opposite side of the corridor, in a rush to explore while they can uninterrupted.

"Well don't say we didn't give you a chance," Rawanne says to the closed door.

"Which way now?" As previously, she sticks with the group.

Blah, why are we wasting time being nice to some little half-pint shitstigator who attacked us in the first place… Val couldn't understand it. Back at the tavern, what she says goes, and if someone didn't respect it, they'd be invited to the nearest door.

 

So as she shuffled forward past the others and slamed the door shut, a mischievous little afterthought surfaced in her mind. Pulling the door back open a slit, she yelled inside, speaking in draconic,"v𐤓‬𐤀‬𐤌‬, 𐤔‬‬𐤉‬ 𐤕‬‬𐤉‬𐤓‬𐤀‬ 𐤕‬‬𐤉‬ vu𐤂‬𐤏‬𐤕‬ 𐤁‬𐤀‬𐤕‬𐤏‬𐤁‬𐤏‬𐤕‬ 𐤁‬𐤀‬𐤕‬𐤇‬𐤀‬𐤋‬𐤃‬𐤓‬𐤀‬y𐤍‬𐤏‬𐤓‬‬𐤉‬ 𐤊‬𐤀‬g𐤇‬ v𐤓‬‬𐤉‬𐤔‬𐤊‬𐤄‬𐤇‬ 𐤕‬𐤄‬𐤐‬𐤏‬𐤇‬𐤀‬𐤃‬𐤀‬ w𐤄‬𐤓‬ 𐤃‬‬𐤉‬‬𐤉‬𐤄‬𐤔‬𐤏‬𐤍‬ 𐤁‬𐤀‬𐤅‬𐤏‬𐤕‬𐤓‬u𐤇‬𐤊‬‬𐤉‬, 𐤏‬𐤋‬‬𐤉‬ 𐤍‬𐤏‬𐤌‬𐤄‬𐤍‬𐤏‬ 𐤎‬‬𐤉‬𐤊‬𐤃‬‬𐤉‬𐤍‬‬𐤉‬𐤂‬ 𐤂‬𐤏‬‬𐤉‬! 𐤏‬u𐤐‬‬𐤉‬𐤋‬ v𐤄‬ v‬𐤉‬ 𐤄‬𐤐‬‬𐤉‬𐤏‬y v𐤓‬𐤀‬𐤍‬𐤕‬v𐤓‬𐤀‬𐤊‬‬𐤉‬𐤂‬ 𐤂‬‬𐤉‬𐤕‬𐤓‬𐤄‬𐤋‬ j‬𐤉‬𐤊‬𐤌‬𐤀‬𐤃‬𐤀‬ 𐤕‬𐤄‬𐤌‬𐤄‬𐤐‬ w𐤄‬'𐤕‬𐤇‬𐤏‬𐤍‬ wu𐤎‬ 𐤓‬𐤄‬ 𐤐‬𐤄‬𐤓‬𐤔‬v𐤄‬𐤊‬ 𐤌‬𐤏‬𐤁‬‬𐤉‬, g𐤄‬𐤏‬u wu𐤎‬?""HEY, I didn't know that kobolds and chicken had the same ancestors, but this here proves it!
Lay me a few eggs for breakfast while you're in there, will ya?"

 

Then, turning around and bracing the door with her butt, she handed the torch to someone else, and put her pack down to retrieve the rope to tie the handles off.

Bella followed Flint, weapon ready, into the next room to check for more shrooms.

Damian glanced to the others a moment as they prepared to check the rooms for more of what they needed for the cure. Setting himself up so that should something come towards them from the hall they would have to get around him first. His shield planted to provide them cover in case any trouble came with bows. He was as ready as he could be and gave the others a nod.

The Search for a Cure - Post 29

---

While some of the troop get organized, and the others array themselves defensively Flint and Bella enter the small suite of rooms opposite the kobold's escape route.

The first chamber (room #7) appears to be some sort of sitting room, complete with a single table and a pair of chairs, both in relatively good condition. Resting atop the table is a half-eaten crow next to a crude knife and a cracked mug. On the southern wall, a half-open door leads to the next room.

This room (room #8) is a small, cramped bedroom. Over half the available floor space is filled with two beds, (one of which is covered in bird bones), a small sack, and an array of old tools. The other bed looks recently slept in.

Treasure:

• On the spare bed is a complete set of masterwork artisan’s tools useful for making Craft (stonemasonry) skill checks.
• A small sack containing 62 gp in assorted coins and a single ruby worth 100 gp.
• One half-eaten dead crow
• No mushrooms

Character Stuff:

Flint and Bella -- roll perception checks please.

GM Interjection

---

Valeria's colorful and inventive invective is met with sullen silence from inside the room. Her only reward being a scratchy throat from pronouncing the sharp gutterals and awkward glottal-stops that draconic is known for.

She makes the door as secure as she can manage. Normally, skilled dwarven workmanship would make this task difficult. However, in this case, she is aided by both the shoddy craftsmanship from the worshippers of Droscar, and the lack of maintenance from the current kobold occupants.

Tugging on the secured door, she nods in satisfaction. It won't stop a determined kobold from escaping for long, but it should give them some warning when someone is making a concerted effort to get through.

[iantruesilver]

 Valeria Claudianus

Having done the best job she could have securing the door, Val absolved it of the burden of being leaned up against by her derrière.

 

Then, still hearing no response to what she thought was an extremely clever put down, she snorted a quiet 'pfft' under her breath as she picked up the torch to relight it once more.

 

Extremely proud of herself, the young woman picked up her things to go rejoin with Flint.
