Criproghad:
Climbing down the sloping wall of the crater, your foot catches in a couple places as worn stone crumbles under you almost sending you falling down to your death. A new method of entrance may be needed soon to ensure the safety of your villagers, perhaps the pig tail fibers that have been harvested from the new farm would be useful for ropes.

You soon find yourself back in your home, a humble stone shelter containing your bed of tied together cave wheat and pig tail fibers, and a stone desk piled with stacks of books of which you have no comprehension. One is open on the bed and you search the pages for some discernable shape or character, however you are lost on where to begin with the runic scribbles that the book contains. One figure continues to catch your eye, as if you have seen it before somewhere but you cannot remember where. Sitting at the desk you sort through the bits of scrap you have collected and begin to work on your project, lights powered by magic that burn for eternity with only an original magic source as their fuel. This project will take much time to finish, however you feel you have made large strides so far. You lean back in your chair, much to do, but where to begin?

Goldemaar:
Returning from retrieving the only person in your new home you’ve come to think of as a friend, you can’t help but find yourself concerned for the little guy. He’s been spending much time in the darkness of the surrounding tunnels and with the threat of an unknown beast lurking in the shadows you can’t help but worry for his safety. Slink will be fine, Slink is always fine. He has grown to fear the beast so you have no concern for his safety; Criproghad however has no fear. Perhaps if you ease some of his stress over the concerns of the village he will ease up a bit.

You pat a child kobold on the shoulder, you’ve seen him sulking in the same alleyway for days now. His parents were never found when escaping from the city after they were separated while making their flight. Perhaps some more exploration of the caves may yield some insight into the whereabouts of the other refugees. Many villagers are also concerned for their new family’s safety with what everyone has come to call “the beast” stalking your hunters in the dark. This new threat may need to be confronted soon. Slink may have some more information on where The Beast hides, if you can get him to speak about it.

You sigh and take a deep breath to orient yourself to the new tasks, then smile as you see the three new pyromancer kobolds Ember has created finally returning from their training. Things will begin to look up, you’ll make sure of it.

I'll wait for a few replies to see if there's interest before I post the status block for the tribe.

Explore west past the tiled rooms considering I see what appears to be tunnel that way? Unless I'm wrong for some reason.

I'd do research but I have no idea what to research.

>>266579
I second this.

Slink:
Recently recovering from a disasterous trip into the waterwell on the cliff, you once again feel the itch to explore the caves. You begin to head out and stop to recall the last time you went on your own and almost lost your life drowning in the pond. With what those in crater have begun to call “The Beast” still lurking and hunting kobolds, you decide taking some hunters with you would be the best choice for the trip. Gathering six of the hunters and one of your new pyromancers, you head out for the tiled room to explore once more the tunnels branching off from it.

While on your way to the tiled tunnel, you spot something becoming more common in the cave Crater is in: a bald pale skinned rat sniffing around the rocky floor. A hunter quickly spears it and the corpse is carried by a couple of the kobolds to take back to Crater.

When you arrive in the Tiled Room, the six-legged reptiles are still there, their beady black eyes slowing turning to face you in the light of a large blue crystal glinting in the roof of the cavern. They gather around the pool of water in the center of the room and lounge, making no reaction to your entrance. Continuing past the room takes you to a smoothly hewn tunnel branching off from the room.

>>Any business in the room before continuing on?

>>266642

You get a sustainable amount from the cave wheat farm and receiving fish from Pond Refuge, but hunting for meat to add to the diet will make your villagers happy.

>>266673
Try and look around to see where that rat may have come from. You may find the mother-lode/mother-swarm.

>>266673
Can we communicate with the 6 legged reptiles?

I heard rumors that Snow's quest is coming back this weekend. How are we going to make sure there's not two kolbold quests at the same time? I like both of these quests, and don't want to have to toggle in favor.

Tbh I'll probably only run today and maybe tomorrow if it has enough interest, I prefer to have a few votes per post though

>>266673

Quest is kill, move along, move along.
