Kadoodle did his best to remain calm. He was happy that he would finally be going on his long awaited adventure and he could wait to try some new meals out on different people, but at the same time, he was a bit confused. When he was contacted, he had been told that the expedition would be purely for investigative purposes, but he was beginning to have doubts. It didn't take long for the goblin to notice that the bulk of the individuals that were around the mayor's parlor seemed to be fighters. Kadoodle had seen plenty of warriors, and usually there was something different about the way they walked, talked, and acted that made them different from others. What kind of "investigation" required this many people like that? Maybe he was just letting his nerves get the better of him. For all he knew, he could be wrong, and those warrior could just happen to be standing near the parlor. Either way, he was glad he had brought his club with him... he knew he might need it.

The civil unrest didn't soothe his nerves either. Kadoodle glanced at a group of a dozen or so elves huddled closely to a cracked fountain, and they seemed to be eagerly awaiting something. Kadoodle gulped as he realized what that must be... the submarine. What kind of things had happened in this city that people were willing to pack their bags and trust some strangers just to escape? It was obvious that this had something to do with what was happening in the city. Kadoodle knew that it had been bad, but he hadn't realized how out of hand things had become, especially in the parts of the city that weren't as far inland. 

Kadoodle pushed his worries aside and continued observing the people who were approaching or waiting outside of the parlor. Kadoodle smiled. It would be great to meet new people! He finally built up his courage, grabbed his pack, and then walked over to the parlor, hoping he could perhaps strike up a conversation with some of the other people that were clearly going to be investigating with him. Perhaps talking to these people would soothe his nerves.
