[@Eviledd1984] "My father fights quite a few things, sometimes alone. Kobolds really aren't a danger in a direct match. They mostly have to relay on stealth and traps when dealing with dracons, you know. My mother says that he's a 'high-level fighter' with some wizard skills. She calls that last one a 'multiclass', although I'm not sure what she means by that" Kara explained. [@bloonewb] "This was never your city, Rughoi. Clearly, some of that 'dracon arrogance' is with you, given your mixed-breed heritage. Oh yes, Krakas told me about that some time ago. She also mentioned what she knew about the unusual circumstances of your conception. I understand that it's given you no small amount of issues, but covering those up as if you were fighting for something righteous doesn't work. You aren't freeing the kobolds, just exchanging the rule of one tyrant for another. Nothing will have changed for most kobolds, but life for whatever dracons remain here is a living hell. Just look at what you've done to this place, an already broken city made even worse by your conquest and mismanagement. I'm amazed it hasn't all collapsed, to be honest." Adykon looked around the room, sizing up the defenses. "Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Either you leave this place and never return, or a large army will come in here and completely wreck the place, kill you, and exterminate every single kobold here and probably for hundreds of kilometers around. You'd have no one to blame but yourself for the outcome, you attacked the city, after all, and when you lose, they will not show you any mercy. Odds are, they'd cut off your head and toss your body in the sewers. Or... you can leave with your troops, followers, and whatever they can carry out of the city, and maybe live as a king underground. You're not going to get a better deal than that. As for your hospitality, I prefer that of my wife and family to anything in this burned-out ruin of a town. For what it is worth, the Mitronians probably aren't coming back to power no matter what happens. Odds are, one of the other cities will establish a noble family they can work with as a new dynasty and rebuild the city from there."
