Relord and Masiry stayed with the dead goblins to take their weapons and treasure, but Ropin and Kasas rushed down back over the wall to help Meepo. When they got there, they saw Meepo talking to another kobold that was chained up to the wall in a dirty littered cell. They saw 3 other kobolds and - a gnome!
When the gnome saw Ropin, she quickly said: "The goblins! Are they gone or dispatched? Help, quick, free me!" Ropin went over and tried to loosen the chains that held her, but it would take a much stronger person or a key to open the locks. Kasas turned and went back to the wall and said; "Did you find any keys? Quick! We found some prisoners and a Gnome!" Luckily, Relord did find some keys and was about to throw them away, but he quickly handed them over to Kasas, who hurried back to the cell.
Quickly, Kasas unlocked all of the prisoners chains. The kobolds were very happy and Meepo was talking to them. Then he looked at Kasas and said: "Now, we go back to home, home! My friends and I, yes! I come back later, later, yes!" Before Ropin or Kasas could say anything, all 5 of the kobolds rushed off back towards their home ground. They hoped that they would return....
But the Gnome stayed on.
Kasas asked the Gnome her name and she said "I'm Erky. Now Let's get those goblins!" But she had meant later. Suddenly they heard a brief yell of pain from where Masiry and Relord were. Oh, no, more goblins had come through one of the other doors! Now they really would have to get them - much sooner!
Masiry was hit with javelins but still managed to head to the door to try to close it, but there were too many goblins! Kasas, Ropin and Erky rushed to help the monk and cleric and made it over the wall easily this time. Relord got out his crossbow and took up position behind Masiry.
Goblins are quick and there are many of them, but they are usually fairly easy to kill and after only a few scratches and bruises all but one of them were dead (since some of the goblins were using saps, a small mace that only knocks you unconscious if hit hard enough). The other one had ran away and had probably told even MORE goblins that they were coming. Oh, well, keep em coming!
Masiry looked out into the hallway and noticed a door and opened it. That must have been where the goblins rested since there were 5 dirty beds with a table in the middle. However there was no one there now so he motioned the others to keep going down the hall.
Ropin was the first to continue down the hall, but just as he got near the next door, he sensed something wrong and lightly stepped around the area. It was a good thing he did that since there was a trap that opened up into the floor right in front of the door! He gingerly stepped by it and listened at the door. He was expecting more goblins....
...but he had not counted on finding the little dragon that Meepo had wanted us to help him find! Kasas was very interested and went into the room to try to get the dragon (since he is of dragon blood anyway). Relord looked on and was ready for a fight (since he does not trust dragons). Ropin went back to the previous room since Masiry was watching their back for any sign of more goblins (and he thought that Kasas could take care of a little dragon...)
Masiry then asked Ropin to help him barricade the door they thought would bring more goblins later - the one that Erky had tried to lock, while Erky was standing guard, making sure things would be alright....
...and they would have been alright if Kasas had better luck with dragons, since when Kasas called: "Come here, Calcyiax! Good boy, come here!" The dragon hopped over a little, not using its wings, cocked his head and then bit Kasas on the hand! "Ow! Bad Dragon!" he said and was ready to try a spell to knock him out. Relord was shocked at this and went in to try to help Kasas, but Kasas quickly told Relord; "Don't hurt him! We need to bring him back to Meepo alive!" Relord just stood there thinking how to do that when it dawned on him that some of the goblins were using saps and they could knock you out but not hurt you, so he hurried out to find a sap.
Meanwhile, Kasas was trying to calm the dragon with no luck. It even breathed its ice breath on him and Kasas started to shiver and shake. He realized that even though a dragon is small, it can still be dangerous and so he went back out past the trap in the floor to think what to do.
As he did this, the dragon followed him, thinking that it was a game.
What would happen now?
