The Longclaw tribe of kobolds is in an uproar; found floating along the nearby river was a very loud basket. And inside that basket is the source of the noise: a human baby! With no clue of what to do with the little creature, they bring it down below to the central chamber and bring it before the chieftains. The tribe elders debate in endless yaps about what to do with it, and the decision slowly leans to killing and cooking the poor infant.
But at last, Scalesage Athraaz, the oldest and most in-tune with his dragon heritage, steps forward and performs a strange ritual on the baby, causing it to finally go quiet. After a few moments of silent tension, old Athraaz stands up and adresses the gathered tribe with his proclamation: this poor baby faces a grim, but crucial future, one that could greatly benefit the tribe, and perhaps even grant them power within the realm!
The Scalesage raises his arms and speaks to the whole tribe. "It is not our way to venture from our home, nor is it to seek out humans. But this child must survive: who among you would become it's guardians and take it to safety?"
