In the Chamber of the Kobold Queen

Meepo led the 4 adventurers to the front of the large Hall of Dragons, where the Queen was waiting. There were quite a few more kobolds in this room and they were all surprised to see humans with them, but they did not attack. Even though the humans were much taller than they were, they did not seem scared, only nervous.

But Meepo brought them before the queen. However, four heavily armored kobolds with large spears barred the way. Meepo knelt before them and hoped the adventurers would, too, but they did not know and did not kneel. Meepo said: "This is wise Queen Ysdrasl, master of all Kobolds and Great Leader in the Hall of Dragons!"



Finally the Queen got up from her chair and said in a high pitched voice: "Meepo, who are these tresspassers in our Hall!?" Meepo looked down in courtesy: "Tresspassers, yesssss, but they no hurt Meepo, they no hurt usssss, they help us, yessss! They help find Calcyax! They will find him, I know it!"

The queen seemed angry: "YOU lost the dragon and YOU will find it - but perhaps these humans can help. The others have not come back yet, so maybe they will be luckier."

Ropin started to ask many questions: "Have you seen other humans? Did they come this way? Where are they? What can....."

"Enough!" the queen said in her high voice. "Yes, I have seen the other stinky humans and they came this way and almost fought with us! I do not know where they are now, but I am sure that The Outcast has either taken them or killed them....and they have taken our Prize as well! So, is Meepo telling the truth? Will you help us get back our Prize from those terrible goblins?"

Kasas looked at the Queen and said: "Yes, we will find your lost dragon, too. We were sent to look for the 4 humans, but we will also help you. Do you know where the dragon is?"

"No, we do not, but the goblins came and stole it into their part of the Citadel or in their lower level. I do not know, the dragons do not tell me...." and her voice sounded sad as she looked at a jade statue of a dragon near her Queen's chair. Suddenly, she said: "Yes, you will find Calcyax for us - and Meepo, you go too! You help them find the dragon or NEVER come back!"

Meepo was scared when he heard that and started to shake: "Yes, my Queen! I find Calcyax! We come back soon! Come, Come!" and he got up and started to pull the adventurers towards a door in the back of the Hall of Dragons.
