Trying to only speak to Alten in Dwarven "Alten gibt es hier einen Plan? Was machen wir tiefer in diesen Ort, um mit einem Drachen-Spawn-Ding zu reden?"
Alten is there a plan here? What are we doing going deeper into this place to talk to some dragon spawn thing?
Mutters more out loud under his breath "Etwas fühlt sich nicht richtig an..."
Mein Plan ist es zuzuhören. Vielleicht etwas über diesen Ort erfahren. Ich verspreche ihnen nichts. Ich mag es auch nicht. Niemand sagte etwas über Kobolde und Drachen.
My plan is to listen. Maybe get some knowledge of this place. I'm not promising them anything. I don't like it either. Nobody said anything about Kobolds and Dragons

Ich sagte ihr, dass es ihr Spiel war. Wir sollten es unterstützen, solange es sicher ist. Nach Anhörung des Leiters können wir jederzeit eine private Konferenz Koboldeabhalten.
I told her that it was her play. We should back it as long as it is safe to do so. We can always have a private conference after hearing from the Kobold leader.
"Du gibst mir das Zeichen und ich werde diese Party starten ... jeder von ihnen macht einen falschen Zug und ich werde sehen, dass wir es lebend herausfinden..."
You give me the sign and i will get this party started... any of them make a wrong move and i will see we make it out alive...
After a few minutes Meepo motions to you forward and says, “Friends to Yusdrayl now. Make nice.”
You walk out past the pillars and find a short throne near the west wall, constructed of fallen bits of masonry stacked against an old altar. On the top of the altar sit a variety of small items. The portion of the altar that serves as the throne’s back features a carving of a rearing dragon. A metallic key is held firmly in the dragon’s open jaws. In the throne sits a red scaled kobold in white robes. As you approach she takes your all in with yellow cat like eyes. At her side stands two more formidable looking guards.
Arxius focuses on the throne as she approaches it, studying the Kobolds before her. Again she wonders what she has gotten everyone in to. "My name is Arxius," she says. "My companions and I have come to seek the aid of Yusdrayl on our journey. And, in turn, offer our assistance in the retrieval of your Calcryx."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lots of clarifying questions to assess the tactical situation:
There is the Chief flanked by two guards in this throne room. How are they armed?
We passed a patrol of 4 on the way here. How far away or how far back was that patrol and were they similarly armed as these guards?
That makes 7 other kobolds so far. Have we seen more Kobolds in the immediate vicinity?
When we entered this throne room, did we come thru a door or is just an opening into the throne room? Did they close a door after we entered? If there is a door, is there any obvious way to bar or lock it from inside the room.
Also, are there any other obvious ways into the throne room?
Here is a flat roll if you need it for some check: 19

Before we enter the throne room, Talien asks Alten. In my realm, we enter to speak with the Master of Arms with our weapons drawn, is it the same here? You told me to ask you before I did anything, and I do not want to fight unnecessarily. This realm seams to have a fear of anyone walking around with weapons drawn like in the tavern.
Yursdayl is a chief, the leader of his tribe. Do you have kings or ministers in your realm?
Here, you generally do not have arms out when you come before a ruler, especially when you are the visitor, for lack of a better term. The guards may think you intend to attack if you come with weapons out when we are supposed to be talking and making friends.
My suggestion is to keep everything sheathed. But be alert and ready to act if we do.

With your perception check you see that one of the guards carries a long spear, a round iron shield, and is outfitted in worn leather armor. This kobold seems to its head higher than its companion and the other guards you saw on the way into the throne room who were only equipped with slings and long daggers.
The other four lightly armed [Tooltip Not Found] are roughly 80 feet back. The throne room is connected to the long hallway with the marble columns. You have not passed through any doors since the room you found Meepo in, but you did walk by the door guarded by the kobolds and two more closed doors that were set in the southern wall (see above response to Talien for info on the barred door).
So, far you have only come across 8 kobolds. Meepo, 5 lightly armored guards, 1 heavily armored guard, and Yusdrayl.
There is one other way into the throne room. Roughly 5 feet after the last marble column there is another 10 foot wide hallway. This is about 15 feet in front of the throne itself. Looking down it you as you walk by you see that it is dimly lit and stretches back about 30 feet.
If you would like to see if you recall any more information about the heavily armored kobold please make a nature, or history check.
Arxius focuses on the throne as she approaches it, studying the Kobolds before her. Again she wonders what she has gotten everyone in to. "My name is Arxius," she says. "My companions and I have come to seek the aid of Yusdrayl on our journey. And, in turn, offer our assistance in the retrieval of your Calcryx."
The kobold sitting on the throne raises a brow and looks you up and down with her keen reptilian eyes. She replies with an air of superiority in common, “Very well Arxius. I am Yusdrayl and I am curious as to what you know of our Calcryx. I should warn you though.. I find this all very suspicious. Please do be forthcoming with the answers you provide.”
Yusdrayl‘s voice is somewhat charming and she has a reptilian, yet cat like way about her.
