[IC] A Stolen Land

[Nexendia]

You are the leader but what is your plan? We are going to help kobolds against fey to get their totem back? Or do you want to contact them first? - he asks Nex in common using her Message spell

I suggest you to bind the kobolds if you doesn't want a battle with fey immediatelly. Perhaps the fey are better guys than these kobolds. Remember the bounty board about kobolds. We don't know why the mites has taken their totem. I prefer to fight against bandits not againts mites in a old magical tree.


He asks kobolds in draconic - What does your totem like?

Nexendia cringes inwardly when Tushou reminds her that she's the defacto leader.  "You are correct.  We do not know conclusively if the Kobolds are attempting to betray us," Nex whispers to the party (but not the Kobolds) through her message spell.  "But thus far they seem reluctant for us to engage the mites and seem genuinely afraid of the creatures.  We have traveled awhile with the kobolds -- have any of you sensed if the kobolds have any ulterior motives?"

[OoC: Can we all have sense motive checks for the Kobolds?  I believe we've traveled with them enough to observe if they're acting suspiciously.  If we can...]

Sense Motive: [1d20+2] = 9+2 = 11

Nex gazes down at the kobolds while one might be picking his nose and smiles, saying,  "They're precious..."

"But you are correct, we should take all due caution.  However, just walking up and knocking on their door seems to be inviting disaster."  She thinks for a moment and then adds, "How about all of us hide [take 20] outside then I create an illusion of one of us, obviously wounded and limping toward their door.  [If Elan is still here he can use his ghost sounds to make moaning sounds]  One of us, like Andra who can sneak close to the door can toss a rock at the door to get their attention.  When they come out we can then watch them to see how they react to the illusion.  If they are nonthreatening then we can take the next step toward first contact.  But if they react in a threatening manner then I will have the illusion limp away.  They might even chase after the illusion and if they do, we can ambush them.  Sound like a plan?"
