[color=blue:315pu9fq]Heh. I said almost the same thing when I first came to the surface. @the kobold: And why are you here?[/color:315pu9fq]

"Well everyone's gotta' be somewhere." Meepo replies with a goofy smile.

[color=blue:922sl8xr]Xandar glares menacingly at the kobold. "And your purpose here, specifically?"[/color:922sl8xr]

Araos sighs at seeing the Kobold appear.

"I suspose you might as well come along with us if you wish" Eyes glance back to Tanrurh. "It appears to be little danger to you considering the size difference between you. Do you travel with us or choose another path?"

OOC: Can I presume that Tanrurh has fought (and killed) at least a few monsters on the way out of the underdark hence his current condition?

IC: "Meepo follows the big darky, him kills big badbads. Make good eats." Meepo replies in incredibly poor common, rubbing his stomach for emphasis. This is in part true; for the latter part of his hunt he had survived off the corpses of his prey's attackers.

Tanrurh looked at the Kobold and then over at Araos. He quirked an eyebro shaking his head. had he truly become that separated from his own kind.

"Belive what you will, but one might not consider a crosbow in your pocket a threat either. I'll travel with you for now."

His gaze then drifted over to the Kobold, while he took a drink from the bottle.

"As for you Meepo, Cross me, and you'll find your self making a nice appetizer."

Meepo shrieks at this and dives behind Araos.

"Meepo not wanting eating!"

Tebryn had been walking for days now, hoping to make it to the surface before a fortnight. [i:2lzjow1o]They shan't be dissapointed. The trade was quite successful this time. I got the components Jhondar required of me.[/i:2lzjow1o] Hearing voices up ahead he stopped and listened. Deeming it best for his welfare to approach these others noisily, he made no pretense of trying to move silently, and walked loud enough for even a human ot hear him.

Before you appears a male drow..... Wearing a mail shirt, cloak, A short bow strapped to his back. It appears he wears surface dweller clothing as well. He stands 5 feet tall, has amber eyes and long wavy hair, tied back. You cannot tell how heavy he is but you can tell that under his clothing he is quite fit by the way he walks and how it fits his body.

"Greetings. I am Tebryn. Might I join you after my long trek?"

Araos listens to Meepo's explaination for following Tanrurh with no change in reaction, the offer not retracted. "There is food to where we lead"

"Tanrurh, I watch my back perhaps better then you did. But at now all of us are at peace, the food and water await you as well"

The appoach of Tebryn noted and a hand crossbow points at the sound until he anouces himself. Lowering it slowly. "I am Araos and you might as well come with us for shelter as well."

OOC: I infer Xandar is part of the partol, perhaps second in comand. Will adjust if another stray.

IC: "Xandar, you will take rear guard. Kendal and Jennarra will take the flank. Our guests will of course be in the center of our protection"

Eyes study the three guests to see that they agree to the terms of travel. Watching their body and faces looking for lies there even if their lips agree.

Nodding to Araos "My thanks for the escort and protection" Tebryn eyebrow raises at the sight of a kobold with them, wondering why it was still alive. "So" looking to the kobold quizzically "What brings you here so far from your home and kind, little one?" Tebryn asks it in the Draconic tongue. Tebryn keeps alert to any overt sign of danger from his traveling party. [i:339q6nhg]Khaless nau uss mzild taga dosstan/Trust noone but yourself. I shall be wary for now. Mayhap I can learn more about my traveling "companions". Till then I shall be careful.[/i:339q6nhg]

[quote:339q6nhg]Our guests will of course be in the center of our protection" [/quote:339q6nhg]

[i:339q6nhg]Indeed yes and also to keep an eye on us[/i:339q6nhg]

Tanrurh fell into place, muttering to himself in abyssal. There was something more about the kobold. He thought it was odd first that it was traveling by itself, second it was following him. Probably just the old racial paranoia kicking in, but he still didn't trust that one.

Meepo sidles into the middle of the group, making sure to stay in character by looking around warily and looking scared by so many biggers. This new turn of events doesn't bode well for his hunt, his prey had been at death's door just waiting for him to strike but he had been thwarted. But he'd managed to work his way into a character and stick with it, so things were looking up for now. He needed to come up with a new plan, he thinks, scratching his arm thoughtfully, he needed a new cut soon.

He is awakened from his thoughts by Tebryn talking to him. Drat he needed to think straight if he was to finish his hunt, damn those bitches and their poisons.

"Meepo no know scale talk." He lies, trying to make his captors underestimate him; that they can more easily be dispatched when they out live any usefulness.

Nebryn's face remains the same as he asks Meepo again the same question in the common tongue. [i:28m8t245]So the little one does speak the Draconic tongue but wishes it not known. I think he is just nervous being surrounded by us, alone. Though why a lone kobold would travel with drow is beyond me.[/i:28m8t245] He raises an eyebrow at Tanrurh's mutterings in the Abyssal tongue but keeps silent, registering the fact that this one speaks it.

OOC: Wasn't sure if people were waiting for me or not even though I was second last to post.

IC: "Meepo have no home, Meepo wanders deep darks for eats and pretties."

Tarlyn · Post by **Tarlyn** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 10:40 pm

"Pretties? Meepo would you like some food, I have some rations, little one." Nebryn reaches into a pouch a hands over to the kobold some rations wrapped in a cloth.

"What are pretties, Meepo? Please do enlighten us all, as I am sure the rest of the party would surely like to know."

[i:ustl1gac]What an odd little kobold. I think there is more to him than meets the eye[/i:ustl1gac]
