Drix gnawed slowly on the haunch of meat as the idea of a proper temple to the gods was thrown around. Most of the pantheon has at least one vote, but it was a battle between Chlombujrer Rapiddelights and his patron, Chucheedrin Plaguepoison. The din began to grate at his ears, the encampment roaring with kobolds voicing their opinions. Finally, he tore the slab of meat from his maw and hurled it at the current speaker, who spoke of great parties for all occasions.Tthe bold was quickly silenced as he fell to the ground with a thump. Drix stood up and retrived his piece of meat, holding it idly in his hand as he looked around the room. As the bruised 'bold opened his mouth to complain, Drix gave him a steely glare, his yellow eyes reduced to razor slits. Not wanting to cross the skilled hunter, the kobold held his mouth shut while nursing the rising bruise.
"Listen." His voice was hoarse from disuse. The kobolds, somewhat stunned by the very reclusive Drix's display, did so, all sitting quiet around the fire. For a long moment they sat there, the only sound the mashing of meat in maw, the sound of roasted flesh being stripped from the bone, and the crackle of the fire.
One kobold looked around after a few moments before looking at Drix "Is quiet." The others looked around, slightly confused as Drix shook his head. "Yes. Is quiet. Too quiet. Where hoots? Where squeaks? Where croaks?" He gestured around with each statement, before pointing a finger back at the assembled kobolds. "Silent in night. Sleep, awake, no matter, they know. Night time for silence. Break silence, let all know where hide." He held up the thick chunk of meat. "Think little big mouse thing all here? What hide in darkness? What lurk silent? No know. But they know. They hear. And they hunger."
He shivered a moment, before looking far off into the distance "Quiet little kobolds please Plaguepoison. To anger her invite great pain." With that, he seemed to loss his steam, walking back to his place by the fire, gnawing slowly on the hunk of meat. He'd lift it menacingly to anyone who began to speak with too much vigor. Better a chunk of meat than a loaded crossbow at least.
