"Huh, the arrow seems exceptionally well made, although I don't think it has any inherent magical properties." Travus hands the arrow back to the kobolds, and talks to them in draconic "Here you go. I wish you all the best of luck with your union."
Seeing Travus start to hand the arrow back to the Kobolds he stops him. "Wait, that's possible evidence in this investigation and besides, we might find a use for it. Ask them what they would take for it."

“Spirit. In every language in all the Realms, surface and Underdark, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience and the poor man's armor. It cannot be broken and it cannot be taken away.”
Travus does as Bartram suggests, speaking to the kobolds in draconic, "Actually, my friend here suggests we might require this arrow in an ongoing investigation of ours, but we would be willing to pay you for its worth to you. What would you say is a sufficient price?"
"Hmm, well as Roar mentioned we kobolds do not get paid much, but you did help us with the sign. We pay 10 gold pieces to get arrow from orc, so if you pay us that we will give you arrow," Gadi offers.
"Believe that your right. How about this, since are friend here helped you with your sign, how about you give us the arrow. Fair trade?"

With Meepo translating, the kobolds shake their head.
"This arrow very important to us," Gadi says, and Roar interjects, "IT IS VERY CALMING TO LOOK UPON."
Gadi finishes, "Is only because you help us with sign that we consider trading arrow to you. But we like you and you have been nice to kobolds when most of your kind are not. You are friends to NAGPU local 312 now, so we trade you arrow for 2 gold pieces."
Travus rummages two gold pieces from his pouch and hands them to Gadi, speaking in Draconic, "Here you go. Thanks for your help, and good luck." Travus stows the arrow in his backpack, then speaks to the party, "Should we continue our journey?"
"I agree, we need to get on are way. Though we may have gotten some information from these two I believe we have gotten everything we can from them." Adjusting he pack Bartram readies himself for the road ahead.

Meepo gives the two kobolds a warm hug as he bids them with his parting words.
"Good luck to your future endeavors NAGPU 312. Remember the pride of our people of being a coward. Nature gaves us this trait to survive this harsh world, so use it to the fullest."

Believer of the almighty one, the Alpha and the Omega, whose love encompasses all of his creations, RNGesus.
Started as a player at time of registration. Started to DM a month later. Hoping to get better as time progresses.
OOC: Each character has received 50 XP for assisting the kobolds. Travus has gained a +1 arrow and lost 2 gold pieces.
The kobolds bid you farewell as you leave to follow the river toward Rauvincross. Over three days, the journey is quiet, and other than an occasional light mist rolling off of the water, the only significant occurrence is a growing sense of unease within each of you. As you close in toward Rauvincross, you notice that the river water has taken on an oily appearance.
OOC: Three days of rations have been removed for each character.
Travus walks up to the stream. He dips his hand into the water and inspects the oily substance, attempting to discern what it might be or any properties it might have.
Bartram will look for a stick and dip it into the oily like water and use his tinderbox and see if it is flammable.

Travus pulls his hand out of the water to find that his nails have turned a bright purple. The water feels like it should, despite its oily appearance. Likewise, Aradurk finds that his crowbar has turned green, and Bartram's stick comes out with a thick fur-like covering that catches flame, but not in an oil-enhanced fashion.
"Ehck! What the hell did it do to me?!" Travus shakes his hand to get the water off his hand. "It... it turned my fingernails purple!" Travus shows his nails to the others in a worried but excited manner. "Well that's the last time I stick my hand into a river of oil. I say we continue into Rauvincross and figure out what the hell is going on."
i continue to walk along. “Has any of you seen something like this before? It turned the metal green, turned your finger nails purple, and grew fur on the stick. What would do that?”

The arrow doesn't seem to have any magical properties outside of its crafting. The kobolds have not seen a man that fits Meepo's description.
OOC: In game terms, this is a "+1 Arrow", which would deal an extra point of damage on hit.

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

I use my crowbar to swirl around the water and pull it out to gauge the viscosity, looking meanwhile around us with caution.
