Tartuccio the kobold's page

As the last of the kobold fighters fall, Tartuccio calls out:
"Thisss isssn't over! Sssee you sssoon!"

As you discuss options, the decision is made for you. A couple of kobolds, apparently late for the party, stumble across yout group. Their surprised yips alert Tartuccio.

"Who is there?! How?!" Tartuccio nearly jumps in the air.
"Here, you fools! Ah, I mean, tribesssmen! Don't lisssten to any liesss they tell you! I ssshall bring you glory, just help me find the relic -- and ssstop them!!!"

Tartuccio suddenly disappears and kobolds scatter in all directions. Several of them turn and attack you. You easily cut through them, but once again, Tartuccio has successfully sacrificed dupes to delay you enough for his escape.

You come to a small glade and you see a gathering of kobolds. Standing in front of them is a kobold with strangely purple scales, he stands a full head taller than the rest of the kobolds.

"Lisssten to me!A dragon, huge, sssparkling, flew down to me from the sssky -- he told me a sssecret! A great relic, that will win the koboldsss glory, isss hidden sssomewhere nearby. Enough of thisss pitiful exsssitence! Sssearch for it! Sssearch! And bring it to me!"

The purple kobold speaks in the suspiciously similar voice of Tartuccio.
