The mite doesn't understand what is going on, but the fear helps him shrug off the pervavise power of Cotton. Taking a step back he exclaims at Cotton. As he shouts the eyes seemingly bulge out of his oversized head.

Lynore to Cotton, "See if you can get any information out of this little guy. Any threats in the area, how many others are in this little hive of theirs, and ask about the ring."
"There is some laughing coming from further down the tunnel, and it does not sound friendly or human."
In Undercommon
"How many mites are there here? Any threats in the area? How big is this place"
In Undercommon
"He wasn't much help, he said there are alot of them, and that their pets will take care of us. He seems to think we are helping the kobolds in a game they are playing."
"Lets proceed and see if we can clear this place out."
Lynore dispatches the mite with little trouble. The group reforms and begins to move along the tunnel, after about 30' the tunnel opens out. The walls of this egg-shaped cavern are obscured by thick tangles of long, palid roots. To the east, the hcamber opens into a wide, root filled chasm.
6 of the little blue mites are tormenting a black scaled kobold who is tied into the roots along the wall. You can see 3 other kobolds hingly limply from their bonds covered in many terrible wounds.
Shrieking in pain the kobold yells in Draconic
"Lets pelt them with arrows and stones and see if we can take some by surprise."

Dram lets an arrow fly.

Cotton commands the one currently harassing the kobold to sleep
"Slumber foul fiend."
Stanton kneels down and fires an arrow at a mite.
The mites are completely distracted as they are taking turns poking the kobold with sharp sticks. Three immediately are killed, one from a well placed stone the other two from sharp arrows.
The other three turn on the group dropping their sticks and pulling out daggers. One blinks and shakes his head before advancing.

The slingstone goes wide narrowly missing the struggling kobold.
The mites have recovered from the initial shock. The one with an arrow in him googles at Stanton yelling obscenities with his eyes bulging out.
The other two mites attack in normal fashion. One attacks Lynore and the other Cotton (obviously the source of his earlier confusion).

Lynore slashes at the mite.

As the last mite is dispatched by Lynore the kobold begins anew.
With what could only be described as kobold tears he exclaims his happiness in his broken common.
"I Mikmek, lasz of my band. I am powerful warrior, sent to savez holy holy. You helpz get great treasure."
150 xp each for mites.
"What is this holy holy, and what do you plan to do with it when you get it?"
Drams searches the mites.
"Iz a statue, I bring back to Chieftan, mite's keep stealing da statue. Wez sent to retrieve"
You find 6 daggers, 15 darts, and 50 gp
"Well we may help, are you an evil clan?"
The kobold seems confused by your question so he ignores it.
"Help good, yez."
Cotton noticing the confusion tries asking him in Draconic.
In Draconic the kobold replies
Cotton relays the message to the group.
"It seems that some in his tribe are what we would call evil, but many including his chieftan are not. He warned the shaman is bad."
"Then lets finish off with these mites, and see what we can do about the shaman, for him and the tribe."
Mikmek drops down thanking you all from his knees before asking for a dagger and some of the darts. He is determined to help you in your search through the tunnels.
Just beyond the root tangle you see a deep and ominous chasm that splits the passage. The chasm is a few yards wide and twice as deep. Thick tangles of roots fill the chasm. The passage continues on the far side of the chasm, and between the two ledges, numerous loops have been tied into the roots to serve as hand and footholds.
"Oh, I have not doubt you will be helpful, but i will not give you a dagger or any weapons on your say so. You may lead us and look out for us but that is it for now."
Lynore attempts the climb.
