"Who are you to ask me anything you worthless hatchling? You are beneath me, you have no authority to rise and ask me a question, that you even have the temerity to look me in the eye is a galling insult and I should send your head back to your mistress to underscore my dissatisfaction with your conduct, now convey me to her and stop wasting my time, your betters have much to talk about and a not have their evening wasted by a lowly manservant covered in rubbed off glory who has mistaken it for his own." The black dragonspawn looks at you with wide eyes, clearly shaken from being talked to in such a confident and forceful manner. The raider does not know how to respond, but after a moment, he replies, "Sorry to offend you, Rebel of Red. Clearly you will be of great value to Wyrmlord Stormcaller and the Red Hand. Come with me and I will take you to her!"
"Your raider brothers, I assume we speak of the same people, the Kaal clutch? Can't say they had a taste for music, nor a deft step at dancing. They have left a legacy though, most certainly" "I do not know of whom you speak. The Blackspawn Raiders are not known for dancing. We much prefer to drive our blades into those who oppose our will." "So, are we off? or are we awaiting the arrival of your mistress?" "I was told that you would serve our purposes well, but I have to determine that for myself. If I find that you are worthy to meet with Wyrmlord Stormcaller, I will bring you to her. You certainly do not have the level of respect that I was expecting. However, perhaps it is because you have never met such greatness before?" "I would have thought the fabled Red Wyrm might come too, but he has clearly reasoned he is a little unworthy of his tale being told when your mistress is so much more interesting, true?" "Abithriax, is a young red who does what he wants! He prefers to amass wealth and cause great destruction over everything else. I doubt he would take the time to listen to one of your stories. In fact, I'm sure that he would sooner eat you up for lunch than endure your flood of words! Now, tell me, what is your intention? Will you give Wyrmlord Stormcaller your allegiance and serve the Red Hand?!
""I am not surprised that you do not see room for art, poetry, and history - such greatness is beyond your understanding, but that is little of my concern; you might also notice I didn't seek audience with you because I am not terribly interested in the thoughts and history of a lackey, I am interested in meeting my commitment to speak with your betters, who saw fit to grant audience. What gives a henchling the temerity to second guess their betters based on their lack of understanding of the value of things?" The blackspawn raider grows uneasy at your words, but realizes that Red speaks truthfully, but tries to backtrack anyway. "Art and History are not completely beyond my understanding! Especially if your art gives praise to Tiamat for all she has done and what is about to unfold! Can you do that Rebel of Red? Can you make your poems sing praise to the Queen of Dragons?!" "Black dragon blooded eh? Think I may have met some of your kin back in Elsir Vale" "We Blackspawn Raiders are here throughout the Elsir Vale to help bring in the new realm of Tiamat and her followers. So you met some of my raider brothers? Where about did you see them?"
Behind the DM Screen:
"I am Rebel Red of Galt, historian, warrior, poet; and I am here to speak to your mistress, as I assume you are her agent and not of the Dragon himself. I am at your service." "I am not a wyrm, but I have the blood of a black flowing through my veins. You claim to be Red? I believe even the red will find a place in the new realm! However, what is all of this you claim to art, poetry, and history?! I do not see room for that in the world to come! The only story worth telling will be the coming of Tiamat! She will set this world right and see that dragons take their rightful place in the order of things!" "Indeed I am in the service of Wyrmlord Stormcaller, for she is indeed a great servant of the Queen herself. I am pleased to hear that you are here to serve, but tell me, Rebel of Red, are you prepared to serve Tiamat with all of your heart and soul and become Rebel Red of the Red Hand?!" Bofus: You creep along the shadows and make your way to the tree (U16) where you hide under the low branches on the ground. You are peeking out from behind cover, watching the conversation with Red and the Blackspawn Raider.
The dark cloaked figure steps out from behind the tree and pulls back his hood to reveal a two great black draconic horns. Slowly the creature steps towards Red, his jagged blade gripped in his hands. "If you are the one spoken of, then, you must be one who is willing to betray the humans and pledge your life to the dragons, so that you may live in the greater realm that is to come to pass! Speak your name and declare your intentions!"

Perception Checks:
Perception
The Blackspawn raiders search desperately for the escaped, invisible gnome, but have not found him yet. However, the Manticores soon join the search and begin sniffing around as well.
Three of the Blackspawn Raiders race out the door in pursuit of Tirion. However, one remains with General Kharn in the Command Tent. Bofus: Indeed the Chest is trapped and locked .
Perception Checks:
The Blackspawn Guards look at each other and smile a wicked grin to each other as Tirion is brought into the tent. Bofus manages to sneak in immediately behind him.
@Tirion Entering the Command Tent, Tirion stands before a hideous looking hobgoblin dressed in full red battle plate mail armor. He weilds a pick axe and a shield rests on the floor nearby. He wears a pair of steel gantlets which he impatiently taps on the arm of his throne like chair. From his throne he looks you over, sizing you up carefully. The Blackspawn Razorfiend then introduces the Hobgoblin Commander to you. Draconic:
""This is Wyrmlord Hravek Kharn, The Favored Soul, the Talon of Tiamat, Commander of the Red Hand Forces. You may now give him your allegiance!"
@Tirion and Bofus A moment later the Blackspawn Razorfiend returns from the tent and walks up to Tirion and says, Draconic:
"The Great Wyrmlord Kharn will see you now. Come with me!" Perception DC 11:
Bluff Check The Blackspawn Raider gives a hidden message to the other Guard, but it is unclear what the message actually says. But it is clear that you were not meant to see the message. The Spawn of the Black Dragon escorts you toward the entrance of the command tent in front of six manticores laying at rest. As you reach the entrance of the tent, he gestures for you to enter.
Sense Motive Check:
"However, I was embedded further south and west. Which is where my most important report originates." "Well, dragon gnome, I will notify Wyrmlord Kharn of your arrival. Wait here while I go and inform him." The Blackspawn Raider leaves you with another guard at the checkpoint and walks north toward the command tent and enters. As you wait to hear if the Wyrmlord receives you, the wait seems agonizingly long.
@Tirion:
"For those wielding magical powers of dragons, size is immaterial. My heritage has blessed me with the color of the greatest and darkest of dragons. Also, my size allows me to go unnoticed among men and elves making recognizance much easier." "So are you a scout for the Red Hand?" " I bring word of your advanced troops to the south. I must speak with your commanders, it is of great urgency." The Blackdragon spawn replies in Draconic. "You bring word from Wyrmlord Koth?! Wyrmlord Kharn is waiting for his report! Have they run into trouble in the south? @Bofus Perception Checks:
Blackspawn Raider Perception Check Blackspawn Raider Perception Check Blackspawn Raider Perception Check Bofus carefully and patiently creeps forward making his way toward the perimeter of Blackspawn guards. So far they do not appear to notice you.
Perception Check:
Perception Check The Blackspawn Raiders glare at the dark gnome approaching them. As Tirion comes close, one of the Blackspawn creatures booms out at him in Draconic. Draconic:
