[center][h1][color=7ea7d8]Raugar[/color][/h1][/center] Raugar tried to hide his surprise at the small display of magic. There was more to the kobold than met the eye. More surprising was the request to be taken home. It was a great commitment to ask and perhaps a foolish one for him to make. He felt like he had heard the name "Stormurrfadir" before in his studies with the order, which leant credence to her story, but scholarship had never been his forte, and he had no idea where or how far away he might dwell. But still... Returning to the dragon delivering a favoured servant. Could he turn away from the chance to meet one of the Elder race under favourable circumstances…? Perhaps the presence of the kobold in this temple was some kind of sign. [color=7ea7d8][i]"Very well. You have my word."[/i] [/color]He answered, after a moment of deliberation, before turning back to the others. [color=7ea7d8]"Her purpose here is not so different from our own. She claims to be a bard, on a quest to collect tales and wonders for her master. As you can probably tell from that projection, her party fell afoul of the troglodytes. I'm inclined to believe her, and promised she will not be harmed, though I still say we can't let her go just in case." He gave a shrug. He couldn't be sure how the kobold would behave once it was no longer frightened for it's life, but he couldn't see many alternatives. "I guess that means she's coming with us. I will take responsibility for the outcome."[/color] he said seriously, looking outside. The sun had risen properly now. [color=7ea7d8]"In any case we're wasting daylight, whether in search of the ruins or this mysterious swordsman, we should be away."[/color]
