.... As insane as it is, That is the best idea ever.

If we're not modding, it's opening the gate long enough for one kobold to get out, run grab the shovel from the stockpile it is in, and then run back.  It's very dangerous and could take some waiting depending upon where the corpses are hanging out at the moment.  It also may not go down properly in one try meaning dead kobolds.

(I would be okay with you trying this and reloading if the result is unacceptable, before modding... It makes a pretty good story!)

Lobster remembers her uncle's many stories of trying to raid caravans, but she doesn't want to think about it. She puts her paws over her head and finally can't help but yap.

"What if... What if... Send out one kobold. Fastest kobold! He run around. Dead things chase *him*.  Not-too-soon, send out second kobold, *he* go get shovel.  Th-then first kobold can come back.  Better to be second... uncle say..."  she trails off.

Kobolds are alot slower than goblins elves humans or dwarves. They'd be hard pressed to outrun them.

[Corai]

Corai looked at Splint, and smiled.


"I suggest we send Splint's little pups to fight. A koboldling rush will buy enough time for us to hack our way to a shovel." Corai said.


"Why no speak kobold?"

"Screw off! I speak how I want!"

[NRDL]

Have a runner go for the shovel.  I volunteer my bold for the mission.  At least no other named kobold has to die.

I already volunteered, if were doing it I am.

[NRDL]

...everyone's gonna start volunteering now. 

Also, I called first.  Right?

Nope.

[NRDL]

Fine.  Send Nix out to charge the zombies, while Corai runs.  I will die in a blaze of glory for this camp. 

If I can't get the shovel, I will be the self-sacrifice guy in every zombie movie. 

[OREOSOME]

Nerev say Me guard others when we run away from monsters! Srojachlis give me strength of 20 kobolds! We fight, we WIN, we get lots o new things!

[Vgray]

Huh. Tied. Time for me to vote then. I agree that going out into zombie land makes for a better story than Taz improvising a shovel.

And I volunteer Taz for the position of meatshield.

[Splint]

I'm the coward on that. Not really a great story for everyone to get mauled by zombies in what, year 2 1/2? I mean we haven't even seen a batch of kobolds grow up! That's sad even by my own atrocious camp/fort/settlment survival rates.

[OREOSOME]

Definitely better than any forts/camps/Towers/hives/etc I've ever done, always with the darn food running out.

[Splint]

Hiver settlments swere always me not being able to grow enough food because fungii somehow know what seasons are on a planet that doesn't have them anymore. Kobold kamps go under when the first titan shows up, forts succumb to bordom or unacceptable losses resulting in my zerging the goblins with whoever can still fight and abandoning while my best human settlment succumbed to a glitch pertetual siege cutting us off from the world.

[Splint]

A shamless bump to keep this at the top and my feeble attempt at the god of music and revalry, planted firmly on a rock block somewhere drunkenly singing about something, complete with instrument and giant mug of.... something that would probably kill a mortal with alcohol poisoning.
