Gilgin heads back to the group, “hmmph, he got away! Probably warning your pals!” He looks at the other Kobold with a burning look, like the fires of a forge. ”How many more of ye are there? Who’s he gonna tell aboot us?”
The kobold replies in a flow of words: „Please don‘t hurt Grek. Grek follos Trex. Trex mighty Kobold. Trex led us out of the cold. Trex got winx. Grek not knowing what is down in hole. Grek nowe not save to walk around alon.“ His voice is pleading and proud when he talks about Trex. When he talks about the hole, you hear some doubt and fear in his voice.
“Ha, good idea Nyx! Wh can count how long till he splats and find out how deep it is! Hahaha” He laughs obnoxiously, getting his greasy face within inches of he Kobolds. “Unless you can grow winx on the way down!”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hifu walks over to the passageway that the kobold went down, listens for footsteps, looks for movement. “They could be coming for us at any time, we need to keep an eye out for them.”

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Hifu you don‘t hear anything, but you see that the tunnel circles righ and declines downwards, most likely leading to the wooden structure you saw in the shaft further down.
James, as you turn towards Kravek and your prisoner, you stumble over your own feet a rather unintimidating display.
Never the less Grek still keeps on talking: „Not many, we flee from cold and snow monster. Only Smol, Vott, Thwip, Zurk, Scorb, Grek and Trex here.“
Kravek stands there holding Grek as the others speak with him.
A snow monster he thinks. They did not run into anything on the way here. Perhaps a snow bear he thinks. Having heard some tales of large bears that live in these cold environments. Kravek looks over to the others if they see any other kobolds approach. If Grek is speaking the truth it was only a small band.
Hifu meditates, prepares to do battle with the kobolds that may be counterattacking, readies an action to throw a javelin at the first kobold head he sees. He goes through a ritual stretching routine in preparation.

„Big monster attacked home, near big mountain. So we flee. Trex geting bright. Trex having idea to hide with humans. Protection from monsters. Safe from cold.“
Map:
Gilgin, you and James follow after the fleeing Kobold, but you don‘t see him.
Gilgin heads back to the group, “hmmph, he got away! Probably warning your pals!” He looks at the other Kobold with a burning look, like the fires of a forge. ”How many more of ye are there? Who’s he gonna tell aboot us?”

Nyx keeps looking towards the back, but whispers to the others, "Ask him what's down the hole"
The kobold replies in a flow of words: „Please don‘t hurt Grek. Grek follos Trex. Trex mighty Kobold. Trex led us out of the cold. Trex got winx. Grek not knowing what is down in hole. Grek nowe not save to walk around alon.“ His voice is pleading and proud when he talks about Trex. When he talks about the hole, you hear some doubt and fear in his voice.
“Trex got winx”. What is “winx”. How many follow Trex?

Nyx looks back once more, "Give him a torch and throw him into the hole and let him describe what he can see while falling."
“Ha, good idea Nyx! Wh can count how long till he splats and find out how deep it is! Hahaha” He laughs obnoxiously, getting his greasy face within inches of he Kobolds. “Unless you can grow winx on the way down!”

James listens as the others talk to the kobold, looking away again at a spot where no one is standing, before nodding and turning back.
"Tell us how many of you are in this mine and where to find Trex and we will spare your life."
"But if you do not cooperate, we will have no use for you and will indeed throw you down the hole as my companion suggests."
"Although I think we will send you down without any equipment, torches or otherwise."
Intimidation check in case it is needed: 19
James wouldn't just kill a prisoner, but he hopes the kobold believes him, so:
Deception check in case it is also needed: 10

Nyx comes closer now, still keeping an eye out towards the back.
"Snow monster?"
Kravek stands there holding Grek as the others speak with him.
A snow monster he thinks. They did not run into anything on the way here. Perhaps a snow bear he thinks. Having heard some tales of large bears that live in these cold environments. Kravek looks over to the others if they see any other kobolds approach. If Grek is speaking the truth it was only a small band.
"You know, big white harry beast, walks on two legs. Big horns, sharp teath."
"What, a yeti?"
James looks to his companions for confirmation,
"Those are supposed to be dangerous right?"
"If one of those has moved into the area, the people of Termalaine could be in danger every time they step outside the confines of the town."
James addresses Grek,
"Where did you last see the snow monster, was it nearby to this area?"

Nyx says, "But you drove the humans away, did you? What happened here? Why is there a "kobolds only" sign outside?"
„ We not harming anyone. Humans got scared, humans run. Trex smart, Trex put up sighn.“
