The Kobold examines the footprint for a moment, and then let's out a sharp hiss as his frills flare out wide.<br/><br/>"That gnoll feets, Nadia elf-girl. Sharpspike not sure why gnoll be with mites, but that definitely gnoll feets."<br/><br/>The little kobold looks around nervously, bringing his spear up in front of him, and motions for you to stay close. Luckily, it seems as if the area is empty enough for the time being, so you aren't in any immediate danger.<br/><br/>A quick survey of the area reveals that the tracks congregate around a hole that's been dug by the old tree's roots, so logic dictates that this is the "front door." However, Sharpspike draws your attention to a hole higher up on the tree's trunk, large enough for you to climb in, that might help you circumvent any guards the mites have posted... If you can climb up to it.
