"Gods are not kept in cages," Arxius says. "What was done to Calcryx was cruel. I am sorry for your people, Meepo, especially those that had no choice. But they treated Calcryx abominably. They were not much better to you."
Physical differences does not grant divinity. If that was the case, the Giants would be gods. They are just bigger creatures. Birds have wings, but that doesn't make them gods.

"If that's his belief, Alten, we need to respect that,"Rees said, shaking her head at the paladin. "Meepo, I'm very sorry for what happened to your people, but you can stay with us if you'd like. We care about you, you've done a lot to help us. We can either see you settled somewhere new or you can join us, whatever you prefer."
I can respect his belief and and not agree with him. Respect isn't blind agreement. I believe he is wrong based on what I know and what I believe. It is his choice. I'm pointing out the flaws in his thinking.
And in time, I'll bet Grom could make a kobold fly or breath fire. I'm just saying to Meepo that those abilities don't make someone or something a god. I had a dragonborn teacher that could breath fire, but that didn't make her a goddess.
But none of that means that I won't help him, if I can do so.

Meepo puffs up at Arxius and Altens words and wipes his eyes and nose with his loin cloth, "We friends, but Rees right.. we different. You no understand tribe and you don't know kobold history. We once like dragon.. but, cursed and lost wings. Lost fire. One day we re-join as gods. Until then we protect.. we serve. Meepo want to go with.. but must find rest of tribe and lead now Meepo strong! We claim rest of temple.. kick goblins out.. restore glory."
"Where will the rest of the tribe be, Meepo?" Arxius asks. "Is there a safe place?"
"Will check rest of kobold territory.. maybe they just outside.. Meepo don't know.. but Meepo find them. And they know Meepo strong now just by looking at Meepo!"
Alright Rees, Arxius. What’s your plan? Primary objectives complete. We have the wand and an apple. Original job & timeline was 2000 gold in two weeks, with a bonus for earlier delivery. That was what we came down here for.

How will they see it Meepo, you look the same to me friend.
"It's only been a few days... we have time to help see Meepo settled with what remains of his people before we return to the city to collect our earnings."She glanced at Talien, "And to find the hammer, of course."

Meepo, what if they reject you as before? What will you do?

Shake sheds a single tear for the small dead kobold. Mournfully he sings.
No mother
No father
No sister
And no brother
So I cry out
To the heavens
Could this be all there really is then someone said
You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world baby
You believe in each and everyone of us
You're never alone in the world baby

"No! Meepo weak before! Let other kobolds be mean... Meepo help defeat tree.. now Meepo strong! They not doubt Meepo now!"
How will they know of your feat Meepo?

Grom, does you spell show where the hammer is now?

(The spell wouldn't be up any longer, it's been about 45mins-1hr climbing up into the next level and then getting back to the throne room)

Granted, there’s been complications. What’s next?

(Yes but Talien wouldn't know that and if Grom says something about it I'm sure Talien would ask him to cast it once more)

How will they see it Meepo, you look the same to me friend.

Lets see if there is anything i can do to help talien, but this will be the last time today
Grom will cast locate object again for a hammer

Meepo shrugs, "Meepo feel stronger.. kobold's see... understand".
Nada within range of the spell.
