As Kravek arrives with the others to rejoin the group Kravek will point out Trex.
This is Trex, the leader of the kobolds. Trex this is Speaker Masthew. Ive informed him about the monster we slew and your need for a place to stay.
He nods to Venea in respect as she will surely leave with the speaker and Kravek will stay with the group.
Kravek then addresses the group I trust no problems occured during the travels here?
He then sits down and takes out a bag of gold. We received the initial 50 gold payment for clearing the mine. After the speaker confirms the mine is cleared we should get our remaining gold of 10 each as agreed.(thats at least the original deal we made).
As he says this he will give everyone 10 gold to divide the pot. He will give Gilgin his share first as he asked for it. Here you go Gilgin, dont spend it all at once.
(Make sure to add the 10g yourselves!) (edit updated since i missed Gilgins post)
Gilgin grabs his gold greedily, biting at one of the coins. ”Good man Kravek, no, no problems, we’ve been quite successful eh! Don’t think I could have survived without you guys! I guess that means we’ll be knocking around town for a bit then?”
Turning to the other Kobolds at the table, Gilgin grins, baring his stained, yellow teeth. “So, what’s yer plan if they let you stay? Any kinda work you like doing? Yer leader over there seems pretty clever. He always been like that?”
Hifu you hear some pleasentries being exchanged, but before you can hear anything more, Venea steps between you the speaker and gives you an evil eye for eavesdropping. (Roll me an insight check please)
Hifu before you get busted by Vanea, you realise there is some tension between Captain Vanja and Speaker Masthew.
Gilgin: The kobolds tell you that Trex was always smart and strong, but since they had to flee their original shelter, he got much more smarter. They are not sure what to do next, but they trust Trex and will follow him. They hope for some place warm and save to survive the winter. One of them is dreaming of finding the ancient white dragon that lives here in Icewind Dale.
“Haha, an ancient white dragon eh? And what do you suppose you’ll do when you meet it? It’ll gobble you up in one if yer not careful!” Gilgin jests with the Kobold.
“You probably think I don’t notice what people think of me, with the way I act, but I tell ye, I see more than most. People let their guard down around a drunkard, don’t think they’ll remember half of what’s gone on. Yous lot seem innocent enough, and I wish you the best in this town. But yer leader there.... he don’t care about you, I can see it. He thinks he’s better than you, wants to get shot of you first chance he can. You don’t need him any how’s! Now you are here, you’re safe.” Gilgin spits as he passionately empathises.
He looks around the room and gets closer to the Kobolds. “Now, I don’t know what this Trex is up to but I can’t take the risk of letting yer friend here put the innocent people of thIs town at risk. I got the means to find out if they’re not one of yous, but I need you to believe it too. What happened when you left your shelter, anything unusual, did you lose track of Trex at any point?” As he awaits their answer he clutches his amulet, muttering a prayer. (Cast detect evil and good)
Srcoll replies to you:“Kobolds fleeing from Snow Monsters when big snow storm hits. Kobolds getting separated. Best to dig in snow and wait for storm end. When storm over Kobolds find each other and keep searching new home. Trex got smart idea while waiting in snow storm.“
Gilgin, who was staring at Trex turns to the Kobolds, fear in his eyes. “Digging in the snow? Is that where he found that satchel?” There’s a quiver in his voice as he asks the question. He turns to his companions, and wimpers, his stubby fingers tearing at his matted red hair. “This is worse than I thought..... What evil have we brought to this town....”
“Do you sense something Gilgin? Do you have a real concern here? If so, out with it, what do you mean?” Hifu sits back down at the table and looks directly at Gilgin. Is there something we are overlooking?

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Gilgin shakes as he returns Hifus gaze with a frozen stare. ”The Kobold.... he’s got something inside him. Something undead, like he’s a vessel for it. And that satchel, it must be linked.”
Nyx whispers back, "What are you talking about? What satchel?"
She keeps herself within hearing range of the whispering, but slides behind a nearby thick table leg or something to hide behind. She will keep Trex in sight at all times.

Your suspicious behaviour draws Veneas attention, she steps between you and Speaker Masthew and for the first time you hear her speak: „What is going on here!“ her hands are near the two Handaxes on her belt and her eyes are fixated on you demanding an explanation, a good one.
The surprise of Venea suddenly speaking stops all other conversations in the room, first all eyes are on her, but soon everyone is looking between her and you wondering what may have caused the female goliath action.
I’m a hushed voice Hifu says almost to himself “Perhaps this creature that is inside Trek is skilled in deceit. I do not feel that I was magically charmed or anything like that, but it is skilled in deception to achieve its purpose, which we do not know.”
Hifu pauses and looks at his companions “How to we inform the Speaker and the Captain of what Gilgin has seen and sensed? How will we be believed and put this matter out in the open? Have him drink some holy water? Take the sachel he is carrying? Do you know of anything we can do Gilgin?”

As Venea approaches, Hifu’s conversation dies down. He stops and looks up, says to Venea in a hushed voice “Venea, I don’t mean to alarm you, but my friend Gilgin here senses something... evil.... about this Trek creature that the Speaker and the Captain are talking to. He has this ability to sense that and we are worried about what to do. He also sensed something in that sachel that he carries, some that emanates as an evil artifact. We were trying to discuss this and figure out what to do.” Hifu looks up and looks her straight in the face honestly.

At Gilgin's words and actions, James grows very concerned.
James steps up next to Gilgin.
"This creature, or possessing magic, will it attack, are we in danger right now?"
James extends his Mind Link to Gilgin.
James stairs at Trex, across the room, giving the small kobold a hard and unfriendly look.
"If you think we should act right now, just say, or think, the word."
James carefully and calmly, unsheathe his greatsword from his back, making out that his is just examining the blade and cleaning it.
