The Redscaled Crusader
Meepo looks pleased to be back home. She looks around and waves at a few kobolds she knows as Maluth talks to the Chieftess.
After awhile, she turns back to the group, "Points us to thes gnollums. Wes takes cares of its."

Elia
Dropping to one knee to place herself at eye level with Alkoi, Elia speaks softly in Draconic. "If by my blade or talents I may help you, Egg-Warder, I will. Strong be your hatchlings, and plentiful your hoards."

The Redscale Chief
Alkoi nods to Meepo and Elia. "Gnollums under place where smelly water falls, from public house with white duck-beaver sign." She gestures. "Alo! Shows Meepo and Meepo's friends where passage to gnollums are."
Alo nods, hopping up. "These ways!" He starts toward the sewer passages.

The Redscaled Crusader
Meepo hurries after Alo, her mind focused on this mission. No one messes with the Redscales without messing with Meepo first. And of course Meepo's friends.
She glances behind her, and flashes Mudtre, Aryianna, Elia, and Maluth a grin.

The Scalechanger
Maluth grins back hungrily as he skulks after the kobolds, his longer legs and lithe build more than a match for their shorter gaits.

Elia
Elia keeps pace with the group with quick, determined strides, her fingers sliding up and down the hilt of her sword in unconscious intimacy, her whole body deceptively relaxed but her eyes hard as glassteel.

The Narrator
Alo leads you to the mouth of a tunnel, an archway supporting the tall opening. "Gnollums these ways! Take this tunnel down, second lefts, first rights. Gnollums said for Redscales to meet them theres with our answers!"

The Scalechanger
At word that the gnolls are close, Maluth suddenly starts to change, growing greatly in height as his scales darken to a inky black shade while his teeth and claws elongate into black needles and knives.
"Lead the way," He hisses to Meepo.

The Redscaled Crusader
"Oh, 'hem gnollums wills gets our answers alrights. " Meepo says a bit under her breath as she strides boldly forward to the meeting area. She made good progress even with her short kobold legs, and was soon just outside of the designated area.
"Mes goes in. Yous waits." She looks at Maluth and Elia and Aryianna and Mudtre. "Yous surprises 'hem. They expectings Redscales."
Meepo took a deep breath, and scurried into the meeting area, careful to attempt to hide her boldness, and to appear a little scared. . .

The Slavers
In the room - a 30' square, 8' tall - wait three gnolls. They are talking amongst themselves, snickering, and as Meepo enters, one looks up and speaks in broken Draconic. "Ah, little bite! You come to bring dinner, or to be dinner?"

The Scalechanger
Maluth steps in behind Meepo, his black scales shimmering in the torchlight. His piercing red eyes scan from gnoll to gnoll as he lets out a low hiss. . .
"Neither."

The Redscaled Crusader
Meepo grins slightly as Maluth enters, never taking her eyes off the gnolls. "Mes woulds be worrrieds if mes was yous. Mes friend heres has alreadys gottens a taste for gnollums."
She pulls out her whip dagger, preparing for the upcoming fight.

Elia
A crackle of lightning flares in the shadows, and Elia steps forward slowly spinning the glittering blade of her sword in a wide, low arc, her voice harsh as she addresses the gnolls in their own language. "[Abyssal]This would be a time to cower on your knees or flee like dogs; to press your dominance on the kobolds is to die. [/Abyssal]."

The Rage Raven:
Aryianna had observed up to this point a tad perplexed on how the whole situation got started in the first place and steped out into the room with the others her War Axe in hand. "I would do as the lady says. . . to do otherwise would ensure that the Raven Queen will be picking amongst your souls sooner than you would wish her too." A wild look flashed in her eyes as she stared down the Gnolls.
