Chapter 4 - Salar

Aelar joins Nix in the tunnel, seeing the same quiet tunnel scene. Phina climbs in next with her armor nearly getting stuck. She frantically pulls and pushes levers to navigate the hulking armor into the nearly created entrance. The feet of the armor land with solid thumps that can be felt through the ground.

Looking around for Eagin you end up finding him in the back-half of the hero car. He is knocked unconscious, and looks a little battered up, but he is alive and still breathing. After searching a few more minutes you can't seem to find Bill anywhere. You are fairly sure he was in the hero car when the train derailed.

Nix is the first to see the spark of a small fire up ahead in the tunnel. You've all been walking for maybe what feels like a mile now. She scouts ahead leaving the rest slightly behind as she gathers some intel. Approaching the fire she sees it sits behind a large pile of boulders that lie across the tracks. Using this cover to get a little closer she almost doesn't notice the other figure in the dark of a man in robes also crouching behind the boulders. It's Bill.

Neither of you manage to make a sound and he points over the boulders to signal you to look. As you peek over you see a small band of kobolds gathered around a fire. One of them is arguing with another.

...I don't care what happened to Gork! Gork was idiot! He say we just kill heroes. He not remember plan! Plan work!, the one says. He has a large red ram skull symbol painted across his dark scales.

The other kobold he was arguing with seems to relent the point, but still looks upset about whatever point it was trying to make.
