My bad, I was giving time for Dante to answer the Kobold's question about fish, but I am here and ready to proceed. I don't want to see this die, I like Wugruk, and Errich and Dante :)
"We don’t have fish, unfortunately. But we’ll teach you how to fish, which is even better! What do you say?" Dante says with a big smile, hoping to convince the kobolds.
"We've heard there are monsters that need taking care of. We came across some skeletons and a giant spider earlier. We need to go through the rest of this area and make sure nothing is left that can hurt your people or anyone else that may come down."
"Oh, no no no, we need no help, we know them, we uh... we can handle." Errich senses there's something to pursue here. After all, at least one of the spider's victims was a kobold.
"I'm not so certain you can. One of the spider's victims was a kobold. I think his name tag said Larry...maybe it was Jerry?. Anyways, completely eviscerated. Best to get out while you still can."
Wugruk gets the same sense - these Kobolds have been working on their surroundings: gathering food, erecting barricades, setting traps... they probably aren't the only ones down here.
