				-OOC-<br>This is the RP thread for the 'Monsters Wanted!' post in the RP request board. Feel free to jump in at any point and carry on with the story.<br>--------<br><br>Henderson sat on a rock half buried in the murk of the swamp, chewing on a big chunk of black bark and every so often using a thumb to wipe the black goo chewing it caused to dribble from his mouth. He was waiting for the hired help to show up, watching the local kobold tribe he had paid to work for his boss get to digging out a small cave enterance into something a bit bigger that could be expanded into a real sized dungeon.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He'd been sitting there for a good half a day now, watching the others with their shovels that he'd given them and their makeshift tools, using their bear hands to throw dirt and peaty mud out of the cave entereance, crawling inside to work on making it bigger from the other side. It was slow work, and he had no intention of helping them. He had other things to do, like waiting for other monsters to find the signposts he had put up here and there and come here looking for work.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He had a good feeling. That was probably not going to last very long, forced to live with other, less keenly insightful kobolds. Pulling the wad of black, woody pulp from his mouth he threw it casually over his shoulder and went back to watching the 'Idiots digging holes'.

				Andrew Steelhorn had already built a primitive hut and forge near the outside of the digging area, with his stipend he'd bought maps, equipment for a forge, and still saved enough for some hopefully female assistants.<br>There was a dwarven ruin sunk into the marsh, so nice that dwarves leave their ruins all over the place it saved wonderious amounts of time in the construction of dungeons. Steelhorn offered a prayer over his forge to Mordain. He was the god of the forge, and the good deity of the dwarves. Dungioneering was a part of the world, monsters built dungeons, accumliated wealth, adventurers raided them on their way to greater rewards.<br>To Steelhorn, this was going to be a place to forge adventurers, seperate the pure ore, from the waste, and make a living doing so.<br>he threw a peice of peat moss and mud on the fire in his hut, melting the quality ore from it, they needed tools to dig, and what they needed was in the mud they were digging up.<br>the ring of metal being pounded into steel hammers and shovels soon began to sound throught the marsh.

				Abraxis patrolled the perimiter of the camp his heavy claws digging into the ground as he walked when he came upon some kobolds taking a break from their labor. "Back to work whelps!" he barked at them in draconic, their shared language.&nbsp; when the kobolds ignored him he spit at the leaders feet his spit igniting as it hit the air scaring the group of kobolds back to work and he kept patrolling his glave slung over his shoulder his spiked tail swishing in the wind behind him.

				"Hey. Hey!" Henderson called out in a squeaky common, standing up on his rock with clipboard in hand and gesturing towards abraxis. "They arn't slaves, don't treat them like that. They're getting paid for this work" He said, spitting the chewed up wad of black bark onto the ground and hopping off into the sludgy marshwater. "According to the maps the Minotaur brought..." He checked his clipboard, flipping over a page "... Steelhorn, thats his name. According to those maps theres an old dwarven fort down under the mud somewhere, so theres no need to work them down to the bone. If you keep treating them like that, they're going to run off"<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Henderson stopped short of the much bigger reptile with little fear in his eyes - he was different to the other kobolds in outlook and showed no signs of being scared. Wether it was the knowledge of a dragon's protection behind him or a life full of dealing with brutes much bigger then him it wasn't obvious, but he was more then just a run of the mill minion. "Allright? Trust me, kobolds are a bit of a speciality of mine" he swished his tail in an annoyed way.

				"Because it's convenient," The warlock strode up to the ignominious site. In his wake was a miasma of shadow and ice. The ground froze around him, but as he left the trod upon dirt, the frost left cold mud in his wake.&nbsp; Usually he set up shop in something already built, but this was an opportunity to get in on the ground floor, so to speak. "Henderson, is it? I was told there would be room for improvement, but that implies there to be a room in the first place, yes?"

				"Then perhaps you should be talking to <em>me</em>."&nbsp; Came another voice, from up above.&nbsp; Sitting in the trees up above was an attractive red-haired woman with black-feathered wings and a length of silken rope hanging from her belt.&nbsp; "You are, after all, trying to do <em>my job</em> at the moment, rather than your own."<br><br><br>"Yep yep!&nbsp; That's our Disciplinarian for ya!"&nbsp; And the source of the second voice stood at the base of the tree, bouncing around in a cheerleader's outfit.&nbsp; Platinum-blonde, with bat-like wings growing from her back, she seemed to be brimming with enthusiasm...&nbsp; And with all the other, more typical sorts of things that succubi tended to brim with.&nbsp; "You're also kinda messing with my job too, by the way.&nbsp; Nice to meetcha, the name's Berith, and I'm handling Morale."

				A woman (http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t193/hellfirebacon/Female_Scalie001.jpg) strolls up to the campsite and looks over the group but stops a small distance away from everyone. She'd been listening in on the conversation as she walked closer, and she can't help but let her tail swish back and forth as it's extended length stays lifted mere inches above the damp earth and puddles in the swamp. "Now now everyone," she calls out with a pleased smile on her lips. "Henderson is second in command and I speak directly through him if not in person. I'm glad that you've all been able to make it here before nightfall as I asked. If someone has a problem with such, then take it up with me or leave with what you've been paid." She turns her head to look at Abraxis. "Treat those who are doing the menial tasks with respect, as they are not slaves as Henderson has stated. If you want something specific other than what small amount of platinum I've given you as your starting payment, then ask me for it," her voice almost booms among the water-logged trees that haven't been cut down, and she walks to face the construction, standing behind Henderson. "How long until we can start building rooms on the second level?"

				The woman looks to the two. "Nightshade, patrol the farther borders but do not bring any aimless adventurers to us if you end up being spotted. Don't kill or even injure anyone you see, only report. As for Abraxis, you'll be patrolling the area of the swamp nearby. Don't go any farther than earshot range," she issues out the orders for those two. Her gaze turns to Berith and her sister. "Berith, would your sister be able to give me her name? Once that's done, you two can meander about, and I hear that there's a cave with a colony of bats to the east that you might enjoy inspecting. Just be back before moonrise tonight." The scaled woman then looks to the gargoyle and smiles, glad that the (de)construction crew has arrived to help.

				"Well boss, all things considered i'm amazed we can get anyone down onto the second level yet" He said, catching his wind and looking at the plans that had been drawn up so far. "According to these maps there are plenty of rooms down on the first level that we can use for tonight as temporary doss-rooms, but i dont mind spending the night working if it'll improve moral to get everyone their own rooms." Henderson looked up at her, coughing slightly. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He turned to face the female gargoyle, looking up at her as he started to adress her "Um. Your taller then i thought you would be." He said, before blinking and getting back to the matter at hand. "We've got a lot of peat built up inside the ruins of the fort and we've still not found the stairs that should lead down into the second level yet. I can take you inside and show you where we think it should be, though." He says, gesturing to the doorway of the dungeon. "Uh... you can see in low light, right? With the amount of Swamp Gas down there, we're trying to limit light to fireflies so we dont accidentally ignite a pocket and kill ourselves."

				"Oh, pardon me. We won't be having the substandard minions until construction hits past the third level. Though you're welcome to join us whilst excavating for the stairs, as Henderson has mentioned," She says and tips her head slightly then looking down to her kobold. She leans down and sticks a golden earring to his hat. "This will keep you in contact with me and anyone else wearing these earrings." The scaled woman tosses a small pouch up to Beryl. "Take one for each of you, and give these to the rest of the ones I've hired." With that she steps closer to the gargoyle. "And here's one for you."<br><br>She then steps towards the entrance and rummages a hand through a pouch on her waist, pulling out a pair of goggles. "I'll be coming along for mapping out the area, and it might be worthwhile to act as reinforcements just in case there's any sort of creature which took up residence without anyone knowing."

				"Allright then. Mind your head, we're still working on shoring up the inside before we make the mouth of the dungeon any bigger." He said, walking quite happily into the cave without so much as ducking a little bit, since the top was a good inch or so above the top of his scaled head. He gestured for her to follow before he dissapeared into the gloom inside.<br><br><em><strong>=Inside the Dungeon=</strong></em><br><br>Henderson nudged a few of the kobolds asleep in the middle of the small enterance corridoor out of the way with his foot, muttering at them in draconic until they at least vacated to the walls so they didn't get stepped on. He led the female gargoyle through the first few rooms, walls made from old and stained dwarven craftsmanship which sagged here and there. "Basically... we think it should be around here somewhere" Henderson pointed out, gesturing at a roughly hewn out wall of peat. "We've got about his far in so far, and as you can see most of the local hired help are all tired from the amount i've been making them do. The stairs down should be around here... but we have to go slowly because we're never sure if we're going to hit stone."

				Vrrtak backs away from the scaled woman looking a bit wary at her attention. "Thank ya, ma'am." She said taking the earring and affixing it to a string of what looks like a collection of trophies. "I shan't lose it."<br><br>She turns and follows the kobold into the dungeon passage. "This not be much worse than home." She crouches a little to enter the tunnel and doesn't seem to be bothered or slowed much by the change in height. "I be much more at home under the ground than I be above it." She gives the sleeping kobolds a considering look as they pass the sleeping creatures, but passes them by without a pause. Once they reach the end of the current dig, she begins looking the peat over.<br><br>"Aye, aye. This is good." She sets her sacks down and presses on the walls a little. "Aye, I can work with this. Peat be easy diggin' an' it not feel like stone near." She nods and pulls her pick from her belt. "If ya'll move back, I can start diggin'. It should be straight ahead, aye?"

				Dev scowled as she took in the camp. "Lizards" she muttered in Undercommon. "I hate lizards." She was buried in a dark cloak to keep the sun off her skin. She hated the sun too but like people who couldn't eat or drink certain foods, she dealt with it. "Where's the person in charge, slave?" she asked in common of the large dragon creature covered in armor, thumping the ground with its tail.

He grabbed a firefly filled cage-lantern and held it close so Vrrtak could see what he was motioning to. "They use a different scale then i do, so we have no idea how much further until the end of this floor. Do you think you can still work with that? You could be burrowing into a room, or down a coridoor filled with more rooms. Is there anything you might need?"

				The scaled woman just stands near the entrance, looking over everyone outside for now and shaking her head slightly. <em>"However strange they are... they can't beat the first group I adventured with,"</em> she thinks to herself, a gentle smile on her lips. A light green crackle of electricity sparks between her thumb and index finger, and she sighs, looking around the area and hoping that the excavation would hurry up so she could have somewhere to swim without having to worry about creatures being fried as she swam.

				"Thank you, Madam," The warlock caught reached his hand out for the earring and caught it with a mental grasp, socketing it to his left lobe. Looking at the Fiend sisters doing their cheer, he meerly stood aloof, in quiet appreciation. More than one naughty scene danced in the warlock's mind with one, two, or all three of them together...<br><br>"Anyways, the Drug St- er... Potion Shop is open," with a flurry and a wave of prestidigious flare, a crummy little stand plopped into the mud with a jangle of glass vials and cups, and the distinct liquid sound of fluid sloshing in the alembic of a still nearby. The vials were assorted sizes with different colors of liquid within them ranging from water soluable to viscous syrup. Their properties ranging from small strength and endurance potions, to mental stimulants and party sodas. Some had a *mild* addictive quality to them, but nothing that wouldnt hurt the average kolbold... who kept paying for them...<br><br>"All merchandise sold at cost, with a tiny markup fee of course..." Baro's smile was as oily as one of his potions.

				Dev jumped back, barely avoiding the tail swipe from the slave. Her glare was hidden by her cloak's hood as she looked the creature over, trying to decide if it was worth shooting the slave with a bolt from her crossbow. After a moment, while the creature spoke, she decided not. The boss had the slave for a reason and it could probably do a lot of work in the same amount of time as some of the smaller slaves running around. Knocking this one out would just slow everything down.<br><br>She turned to walk towards the cave the slave had indicated looking for the woman the slave had said was in charge.

				The woman barely took any notice to the small brawl, instead putting her scaled hand to her face at the sight of the warlock she hired trying to sell some potions at the construction site. <em>"Such potions might be useful, but I doubt any of these kobolds could even purchase one with the wages they're getting... unless they pooled their resources but I think Henderson would be the one who would have to rally them for it,"</em> she thinks to herself, rolling her gaze to the entrance and walking to sit on a stone to examine the plans that Henderson made an attempt to copy from her list of things she wanted. With that she ponders out how to perform the specific tasks, as well as how to avoid the druid circle that meanders through the woods adjacent to the swamp and wetlands. The damp ground gave off the sound of sloppy footsteps as someone approached, and she looked up to see Dev approach her. "Would I be able to help you?" she asks whilst setting the plans aside.

				"You the person looking for workers?" Dev asked looking the woman over from beneath her hood. "The slave over there" a vague motion made towards Abraxis "said the boss lady was over here, and as you are the only female standing here, I'm hoping you're the one I'm looking for."<br><br>She cast her eyes towards the cave. "Looking to make a dungeon?" she asked. "Maps would probably be a good idea so the slaves don't get caught in traps meant for wayward traveler."

				She waited until the woman finished speaking, noticing the inflections in her voice as well as her references towards the other workers as slaves. "If you believe that I didn't think of such before you came along, you've mistaken me for a bumbling fool," she says with a slight hiss to her words. A spark of electricity streaks through her hair as she stands up, eyes narrowed at the newcomer. "If you're the topographer who I've called to employ, then you best know that a kobold named Henderson is to be treated as if I speak directly through him..." She wasn't one to hate a specific race or species, but in her times of adventuring she never found a reason to like the sort who considered none other than themselves for respect.

				She nods and snaps her fingers twice, catching the attention of a kobold nearby and leaning forward a little bit to talk to the smaller creature. "Take a pale and go to the edge of the swamp to the river next to the woods and fetch some water from under the large stone," she hisses to the creature in the draconic language. With that she gives the scaled critter a copper piece and watches as it runs off and grabs a bucket, then scuttling out of sight. Her gaze returns to the minotaur and she gives him a pleasant smile. "Shouldn't be more than an hour before the clean water is brought back."

Henderson was standing in the middle of the room, holding a spear and pointing it at a treasure chest in the corner, his hands shaking slightly. His stance was practised and smooth, but something was shaking him up that he obviously hadn't planned for. "I could really do with a little help here..." he said, eyes drifting away from the chest for a second before he snapped his head back around to look at it. It hadn't moved. It hadn't done anything. It was just a chest! But still, he stood there, aiming his spear at it and looking terrified.

				Dev turned and paused in an open doorway as she watched a kobald leveling a spear at a chest. It seemed rather odd to Dev but amusing all the same. There was obviously a creature in this world crazier than she was, and she'd spent half her life living in the caves of the Underdark with bats, both normal and dire, as her only company.
