20 Scouting (1/2)
Lurk stared intently at the part of the city where the movement occurred, as he asked Aurk for more information.
”So what do we do with kobolds when we see them?”
Lurk had a inkling of what goblin responses towards kobolds, or for that matter anything or anyone would be. But he wanted to know more, he was worrying about the future. Could he really exist within a goblin group safely, or even ethically. They were capturing women and raping them to extend their numbers. Murdering and hurting for the sheer joy of it, Influenced by the trait [Evil].
Everything Lurk felt was he wanted to stop this, but he was only one goblin. He did not want to submit to this way of living. When he felt sure of his skills and knowledge of the world he would leave. For now he would help the Sun Soakers, helping to defend them and the nest would also be defending himself.
”They are tasty” Aurk stated
But then again, he could just leave right away, he thought on hearing that from Aurk as he hung his head down sighing.
”It is odd though that they are here at this fallen human nest.” Aurk said staring intently down at the city.
”how come? i would think there would be a lot of hiding spots down in a city?” Lurk said as he regained his calm.
”this place is a hotspot for things to trafic through to get to the outside of the wastedlands.” Aurk said as he pointed over to wards one side of the city and panned his hand.
”The city lies right up against the outer mountain here, the other side of the city, has that rising rock formation that stretches out for a long distance.” Aurk
”So its a shortcut.. Ok...” Lurk nodded
”it is very risky to stay long term in such a location, so they must be here for something..” Aurk said just as Lurk noticed a movement.
Looking down at a collapsed building he saw a tiny humanoid form peek out from a hole in a building and quickly dart out and across to hide in another building. It had digitigrade legs ending in small claws instead of feet. Its torso was like a normal humans, up til it reached the neck. a long thing neck that ended into the shape of a lizards head with tiny horns. The kobold was holding in its tiny 4 clawed hands, a sack over its shoulders that seemed full.
”They seem to be looting or moving things ?” Lurk stated on seeing the kobold with its cargo. That was the one i saw running in behind that building it left. It was empty handed, look more of them.” Lurk said just as another kobold came out with another bag over its shoulder. Aurk Nodded
”They must have found a chamber hidden beneath the buildings that no one has seen yet..” Aurk rubbed his chin.
”I guess that is a rare find, looking at how old this ruin is. Guess they are lucky” (Lurk)
”We will wait here and observe their numbers for a while. Then either we attack them or we go back to bring reinforcements from the nest.” (Aurk)
