Darro does some spellcasting on the move while Tarri's lets a few arrows fly. The halfling's aim isn't her best, and the arrows fail to pierce the kobold's armor. Rikas and Azdak both score on their targets, however.
Rhydderch and Li!

The dragon settles down just a few feet in front of Tarri . It opens its huge, fanged mouth... and a bolt of blue lightning zips straight through Tarri, Hugo, Blackthorn, and Darro! The door behind the group shatters from the force of the bolt.
The guards fire bolts again at Rikas before dropping their bows and moving towards center stage, drawing longswords.

Tarri and Hugo both dodge aside as the lightning bolt rips through the area. Hugo completely avoids it, while Tarri is still singed by the superheated air. At Rhydderch's shout, Tarri spots the subtle incongruities that prove that the dragon truly is an illusion. As the scaled beast fades into transluscence, she heels Hugo to rush through the beast, but the owlbear still believes it's real and will not go through it. Letting out a vexed breath, Tarri takes aim at the kobold king, hoping to end his reign before he can hurt anyone else.

Darro keeps up the buffs while Rikas fakes out one of the guards. Rhydderch unveils the illusion of the dragon . Azdak sends a magic missile punching into the Chief.
Tarri sees through the illusion, but her aim isn't great and the one true arrow does only a little damage--and even that is healed instantly, the arrow falling out almost as soon as it goes in.
Li is up!

Li!
Li!
Li's perfect arrow has some difficulty puncturing the thick hide of the would-be king, but nevertheless it pierces his heart. KIBIZAX IS DEAD!
Out of initiative!
Stepping out from behind a screen on stage and dismissing her invisibility spell, you recognize the young Yiddlepode. The guards look to her for direction, and she holds up a open palm to the Pathfinders. "Surrender at once! Or I shall destroy you!"
Yiddlepode is trying to safe face. She means you no harm.

"What, her? What magical fire will she smite me with if we don't?"
The emphasis on 'fire' was a little more pronounced than he'd have liked and Rikas kicks himself for the rookie mistake. Still, he stares at Yiddlepode and bows a discrete nod of assurance.
I sure hope this girl prepped a fire spell today...
Azdak offers a surrender, while Rikas demands a show. Suddenly, the old chieftain’s fallen body takes on a bluish glow and the sound of electricity arcing grows swiftly from a faint buzz to a loud crackle. Bolts of lightning shoot down from the ceiling, striking Kibizax’s corpse over and over, filling the room with the booming sound of thunder and a palpable aura of static electricity. The fallen reptile’s body is wracked again and again with electrical fire until a glowing dragon made entirely of blue electricity rises from the corpse and takes wing. The dragon circles tightly around Yiddlepode once with a roar then turns into an arc of pure energy, shooting through the ceiling with a final thunderous boom.
"Drop your weapons and move into the side chamber! At once!"
She hustle the group into a small chamber off-stage, in which you find your former adversary in the alchemist's shop--Trapmaster Tok, the old chief's son--recovering from his wounds on the couch. He eyes you warily but says nothing. Yiddlepode follows you into the room and shuts the door; her expression immediately grows more friendly. "Now then. As the Chief of the Sewer Dragon tribe, I would like to hear your proposal for a peaceful coexistence between our people and yours."
Rikas is pretty sure nobody notices the umpteen knives hidden about his person.

"Well met, Yiddlepode! We met at the theater not long ago. I am Azdak Ejderha of the Pathfinder Society. My companions and I are at your service."
Azdak bows to the new chief. "On behalf of the Pathfinder Society, I would like to propose the following."
"I am authorized to offer you a trade alliance that could be lucrative to both our peoples. We can offer to fence goods for you as well as get you supplies at reasonable prices. We can also get goods into the city for you. In return, I ask that Pathfinders be allowed to pass through your kingdom unscathed. I understand that you produce some of the best alchemical substances in the city. Perhaps with this alliance, we can also purchase such items for our own use in the field. What do you think, Chief Yiddlepode?"
Yiddlepode nods. "These terms are acceptable. However, we have need to sell our products to others as well, and more than just alchemical supplies. Would the Pathfinder Society agree to help us establish a market presence above for our various goods, ensuring fair prices of sale--in addition to these other agreements?"

Yiddlepode nods. "These terms are acceptable. However, we have need to sell our products to others as well, and more than just alchemical supplies. Would the Pathfinder Society agree to help us establish a market presence above for our various goods, ensuring fair prices of sale--in addition to these other agreements?"
"I believe the society would be amenable to such a proposition. I will tentatively agree to these terms and will pass on your proposal to the society. I am pleased that we are able to make such progress in this negotiation! Thank you!"
"Now, unless there is something else, I believe my friends and I should return to our people and deliver your message."
"Very well. We are agreed. Thank you for your understanding." Yiddlepode nods and steps over to a nearby table, pulling six necklaces--plain leather thongs wrapped around a single kobold tooth--out of a drawer. She hands one to each of you. "Please take these gifts as a sign of our friendship."
______
Back at the Grand Lodge, Drandle Dreng is ecstatic to hear the news of your success and readily agrees to the terms discussed with Yiddlepode. As an additional reward for your efforts, he lets you take your pick of the non-relic bits in the next shipment passing through the sewers.
Creating a truce with the kobolds shows nearly immediate payoff for the Pathfinder Society. Not only do the kobolds keep to their word with regard to harassing shipments, but the Society also arranges a deal wherein the kobolds are in charge of moving the goods through the sewers themselves so the Society doesn’t have to deal with the logistics and risk to its agents, except in cases where experienced Pathfinders’ skills are absolutely necessary. Additionally, the Sewer Dragons rebuild Yippitok’s lab and start offering alchemical supplies to the Pathfinder Society at a significant discount.
