Gunra quietly begins donning the cloak and falling into line with the party consensus.  He then takes a bit of soil, smearing the parts of his gunmetal hide and hopefully obscuring his natural color.

"It will be tough to save that man.  That is a situation beyond a smile and a cloak.  We risk our lives, and our greater mission, if we are too hasty to save him."

"As we walk closer I will message him, I think he will be honest with us about his chances.  If we cannot do it, so be it.  I would have to be well convinced that we could get away with it before trying."  Petmailer says, grimly assessing the scene.  

"So, our main objective is to find Milo and get out?" Harmony confirms with the group. Once everyone is sure of their goal, she addresses them again. "I'm happy to take point on the talking, but we all need to be on the same page with this. We walk with confidence. We are supposed to be here. We don't speak unless spoken to, and if we are questioned, we're vague. We've been members of the cult for some time, but were transferred to this sector just before the raid. We were present during it, and if they didn't see us, it's probably because the town was large and chaotic. If it comes down to it, Petmailer, bring out the name-drop. That seemed to work for us last time."

"We'll want to find and question someone who knows what they're doing but isn't too high up the chain of command. We don't want to come face to face with Cyanwrath again. If everything goes to shit, we set things on fire and run. Agreed?"

“Agreed” Kane says. He begins putting on the robes. “It would be nice if we had some masks so they would recognize us later, but it’s fine. I’m not particularly fond of Leosin, but I do believe he’s innocent, so we must help him. Also, I’m really good on the setting things in fire part, but I can only do with the be more time without rest, so using my spell must be a last resort.”

Petmailer says "I think if we are setting fires to things, it will be as a last resort.  Let's press on."  Petmailer also changes into his Pride silk armor underneath, pulling up his mask as well.  He gathers the cultist robe around himself and hides his identity as much as he can.  He readies his long bow.  "Harmony, would you like to lead, Kane and I will follow, and Nurm and Gunra in the rear.  Remember everyone to hold five fingers up and praise Tiamat as we approach anyone, but I think Harmony's idea about keeping interactions to a minimum is the best."

As you walk into the camp, you notice that no one seems to put much attention on you, and while your salutes are responded with the same gesture, no one challenges the 'latecomers' for passwords or security signals. Put simply, the raiders seem confident that no enemies followed them this far. You see some slower members of the raiding party and walking wounded still straggling into camp, so your sudden appearance don't raises suspicion.

Most of the cultists in uniform you see are human, but for every human there is at least five kobolds, some of them winged. Most of the kobolds you see doing manual labor seem to be overworked and undernourished.

As you walk into the camp, you see a hunting party of kobolds return to the camp with a dead antelope from the grasslands. The leading kobold looks both ways and signals the others to take it towards the bone-decorated huts with a grin... but they get intercepted by two masked cultists armed with morningstars. They confiscate the antelope and take it with them to one of the caves while the kobolds cower before them.

As for the humans, many seem like new initiates working toward full acceptance, just like Ignar had been, and many others look like simple mercenaries, hired to flesh out the camp’s strength during raids or if it should come under attack. Just a few are wearing masks.

Petmailer sends a quick message to Harmony "Remember, we also have the Kobold letter.  Any chance we could start a Kobold uprising?"

Nurm puts on the cloak and pulls a hood over his head and follows the others, trying to stay inside the group so his face isn't as obvious. While walking inside the camp, he notifies the others via his telepathyc ((remember, it's series of one to one conversations, not a group chat)) powers. If you spot the kobold we captured earlier, we might use him to our advantage.

Petmailer sends a message back to Nurm silently, "Perhaps we could use your Kobold Sorcerer to try to overthrow the human cultists if they are treating them so poorly, starving them.  Sow discord from within?"

Harmony sends a silent message back to Petmailer, then the same to Nurm. "I'm fine with anything, just let me know the plan. We should look for Milo first, though." To Petmailer, she adds, "Have you contacted Leosin yet, or should I?"

Petmailer sends back "Haven't yet.  Will do now."  Under his cloak he points his finger as they walk closer to Leosin and says "I guess you've seen better days.  Petmailer here.  Any advice?  Where is Milo, masks, eggs?  Any way we can save you?"

Kane follows behind Harmony but doesn’t talk to Leosin. For once, his s demonic appearance may be useful as it helps him blend in. He looks around to make sure no one is coming and tries to look inconspicuous. He answers Nurm, “If you feel like using the kobolds for an uprising, I’m all for it. But just remember, they are cowards at heart. An enticement of food or threat of death can quell even the largest kobold army.”

Petmailer, when you send the message to Leosin, he answers immediately: "No luck, but there's some of Milo's inventions here, he was here. I sent a message for help. The eggs are down in the caves."

Looking around, you see that the steep sides of the plateau are dotted with shallow caves, but there's a cave entrance that is broad and tall. That's the cave the cultists took the antelope from earlier.

Among the kobolds, you spot the white-scaled sorcerer: He is serving as a guard as the others work, his powers might have something to do with the apparent special treatment towards him. He has yet to see you.

To Petmailer:

 To Kane:

Petmailer sends a message to Nurm and Harmony "Are you ready to begin Operation Kobold Unrest?  It would be good to look inside that cave..."

Harmony replies, "I could be Tiamat again if you want. Tell the white one to start a rebellion. I just need someone to translate for me."

Kane looks at Petmailer. “What do I do? I wasn’t assigned a job. Just stand here and look pretty? I got the pretty part down.” He smiles. He keeps an eye on the white kobold.

Petmailer sends a message to Kane "You speak dragon, right?  We are going to start a rebellion with the kobolds, remember the letter?  Assist Nurm and Harmony.  Perhaps our opening is the kobold sorcerer."  

Petmailer observes the cave, how big, options for getting inside, how far to reach the cave and anything else around that would be useful.   Perception : 14

Afterward, he sends a message to Leosin "How do we get you out, is it possible?"

Petmailer, you see that the entrance to the cave is broad and tall, but the ceiling quickly lowers to what seems like a height of 15 feet. Standing guard inside the entrance are the two mace-wielding cultists from earlier, but other than them security seems to be pretty lax. Coming from deeper inside the cave, you hear what sounds like scratching and the flapping of bat wings.

Answering your message, you hear Leosin's whisper. "Do not worry about me. I have a plan."

Harmony scratches out a message and shows it to anyone who speaks Draconic for approval and translation.

Servant. These pathetic humans will never return your ancestral lands. Rise against them, now, and take what is yours.
