"Fascinating...Lads, shall we go and explore further?" a glint in his eyes.

"Aye Errich, if they are serious about changing their ways then being free from those that would oppress them will mean they can turn from scavenging and protecting themselves to instead learning skills to subsist without stealing and killing." Wugruk looked back to the Kobolds, "And if they are not serious then these lizard people and fire beasts may still have been a threat to Otari once these ones were eliminated"

"Yeah, I'm excited to meet these lizard people and fire beasts... And if we can help these kobolds move from being mere scavengers to becoming capable of helping themselves, then perhaps this entire escapade was meant for something greater than we initially thought."

The kobold yells some commands, which Errich translates to his companions, down a set of spiral stairs:
"Three outsiders incoming! Lead them to the stinkers!"
He turns to the party and adds, in Common: "Trap here, here," pointing out what to avoid. "Go now, thanks! Yes, thanks!" Again the sweeping hands.

Narrowing his eyes, "Most appreciated."
Looking into the darkness of the spiral staircase, "The stinkers?"

The kobold is already busying himself with the previously interrupted trap-making work, and ignores Errich. Whether on purpose, it's hard to say.

The stairs spiral down deep into the earth before ending in a chamber that looks like it’s been prepared specifically to defend against intruders. On one side of the room, a table has been turned on its side to provide cover, while on the other, crates and barrels have been piled up to create a second barrier.Aug 24, 2023 1:11 pm
"Are these Kobold fortifications, or 'the stinkers'" Wugruk said of the table, crates, and barrels.

Two battle-tested kobolds peek over the table and grunt orders at the party, pointing beyond the barricade going north. You do notice there's an exit to the left as well.

"I imagine the 'stinkers' are something else, my friend. Shall we see what's to the left?". Nodding at the barricade, "That doesn't look very inviting."

"It seems like they want us to go over the barricade. Maybe we should go check it out."
Aug 27, 2023 1:57 pm
"Aye" Wugruk said, feeling slightly dumber for having asked the question to begin with as he made his way toward the Barricades to go around them.

Beyond the barricade, the passageway meanders briefly. The floor descends slightly and soon becomes flooded by a shallow pool of water. The water appears to be flowing out of a passageway to the right, and a shimmering blue light in that direction reflects off of the water there. The main passageway continues to the left, over the slight depression in the floor where the water has pooled. An overpowering stench drifts from around a bend.Aug 29, 2023 4:39 pm

Not going to lie, having the already short dwarf, traipsing through water in full armor and shield sounds like a drowning waiting to happen lolAug 29, 2023 5:57 pm
"Worry not Wugruk, I'll go investigate.". Errich says, as he lays his bow and sword on the ground, making sure his dagger is easily within reach.
OOC:
Is this deep enough where it would make sense to tie a rope around me?Aug 29, 2023 7:22 pm
The water becomes shallower towards that eastern chamber, flowing out of it and pooling near where the party stands. The pool is shallow, not even knee-high for Wugruk. To continue north, one would just have to hop up on the small ledge. The path into the eastern chamber is unobstructed, if wet.
