With THEIR aid, a raid on dwarven settlements could be possible, and mutually beneficial! However, to even find them, you would need to reopen the tunnels and ruin-rooms which your magic collapsed, and if such a diplomatic effort failed you would face threats on THREE fronts. You dismiss the idea for now…
And you likewise shake off the persistent notion of staying behind to ‘familiarize yourself with the local culture.’ You have been walking around in a persistent state of arousal ever since your earlier discussion of kobold females, kept in check only by your well-honed self-mastery, but this is NOT the time. These new and more pressing developments take precedent!
(And anyway, none of these kobold females have quite the same girth and squeezability that… Well, moving on.)
Instead. You resolve to join your forces in repelling—nay, DESTROYING UTTERLY—the adventurers invading your domain. You wanted no reports going back to the so-called ‘civilization’ down below the hills of Bloodrise; now, this is doubly the case, for word CANNOT get out of the Reptilian Master Race, which has so long operated in shadows… Nor of you, nor the Dragonborn Project.
How will you destroy the adventurers?
