Another, more gravelly voice rings out behind you.<br/><br/>"Of course Sharpspike is only a warrior. His spikes are the only things sharp about him, so he's not much good for anything else..."<br/><br/>As the purple and green kobold falls into step beside you, you can't help but notice that his draconic is much more... polished... than that of his peers. Sharpspike looks wounded, but the little warrior seems almost afraid to defend himself.<br/><br/>"Come with me, elfling."<br/><br/>The oddly colored kobold leads you and Sharpspike off the main path, and into a large chamber of the cave. As you walk in, you can almost feel a tension between those in the room... on one wall, there is a crude painting of a silver dragon. On the other, a statue of a bearded figure, covered in spikes and thorns.<br/><br/>"That statue is Thornbeard. I have tried to explain to these kobolds that he is mispleased, and it is his anger that has brought the badness that has come to the clan. Thornbeard must be appeased... and that will only come when we offer the dragon bone, and show him our faith.<br/><br/>Elfling, bring the dragon bone to me when you return. I will provide you with the knowledge you seek, and more, but Thornbeard must be appeased!"<br/><br/>He speaks loudly, and you can feel a collective anger amongst the kobolds gathered around the dragon painting. They are not fans of that idea.<br/><br/>Once he has said his piece, the purple kobold leads you and Sharpspike back to the entrance of the cave. He ushers you and your warrior escort forward, and just as brusquely as he arrives, he leaves you.<br/><br/>--------------<br/><br/>As you and Sharpspike follow the path you mapped out, something starts to tickle at the back of your mind. That statue... something about it looked familiar, but you can't think what. Maybe something will come to you as you continue on?<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body"> <br/>Can I get a Knowledge: Planes check? </div></div>
