GM Badblood's The Dragon's Demand

Game Master Lance K

The kobold says "We are only outside guards. We did not think you were stupid enough to attack. We're here to take your tribute, not to stop attack. It does not matter if you enter the big stone house now. Your clutch is doomed! Aeteperax will burn down your huts and eat your young. No one will be alive after Aeteperax comes!"

Sir Falcon stands over the kobold with his flaming sword. "If you scream I'll run my blade through you. Slowly, so you feel the burn for a long time before you die."

"Someone bind and gag him. No need to ruin tonight's sleep for everyone!"

"I suppose the other option would be to deal to me, and I can call My friend with the sword off. I don't doubt that he would love to have another excuse to clear his sword."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Good cop, bad cop, fail

"So how many creatures are in the big stone building? What traps have the other mini-dragons laid?"

"Go in and find out!" the kobold sneers. "Get killed by the bat monsters or wait and let Aeteperax eat you! Either way you are doomed!"

The kobold appears unwilling to cooperate.
