I think I have about five people?
Sirus, Flying Dice, Remuthra, Giglamesh, GWG, and possibly Taricus. I can handle one more, if you want in Rolepgeek.
Question for Hans: Any restrictions on what we can buy with our starting gold? Oh, and I would appreciate a bit more information on the setting for when I work out my backstory.
Nope, as long as you can provide a source if I ask for it. Magic Item Compendium is highly recommended. What specifically do you want more information on? All your characters have been inhabitants of the Dragon-Mount for their whole lives, though you obviously have done some prior adventuring, probably defending from those asshole humans that like to raid your home. Would you like to know more about the mountain? The surrounding areas? The relationships of the human empire, the mountain's inhabitants? The surrounding political climate?
Some more on the social structure of Dragon-Mount, a bit on the geography of the closer surface areas if possible, thanks. 
The Dragon-Mount is populated by a variety of races. The most 'high-ranked' you might say are the somewhat less intelligent Wyverns and Drakes, which share the Dragon's chambers. There are relatively few of them, but they are generally stronger than the other inhabitants, and more prone to instinctual violence, so they are avoided for the most part by the rest of the inhabitants. Minus the Dragon, because he gives no fucks.
After them are the Dragonkin, bipedal reptilian humanoids, about 7 feet tall. They live in little clusters of living chambers carved out near the entrances to the mountain cave network, and in a couple small villages on the sides of the mountain. (It's actually an extinct volcano, but details.) They're not xenophobic, and they tolerate Kobolds, but they are definitely bigger and definitely not to be trifled with. Generally Kobolds will defer to a Dragonkin in most matters, but Dragonkin have been known to defer to an obviously wiser, more skilled, or more experienced Kobold. But you have to impress them first.
Next are the Lizardfolk, who don't actually live IN the mountain, so much as around the base of it. They're pretty violent and kind of stupid, so Kobolds generally stay far away from them. The Lizardfolk keep to themselves, and most of the other inhabitants use them as a meat shield between the mountain proper and the enemies outside it's boundaries. They WILL eat you if they can.
And finally, our favorite, the Kobolds. The Kobolds live in every little nook and cranny they can find, and there are ZOUNDS of them. For every one Dragonkin, there's probably fifty to a hundred Kobolds. They live in the dead magma vents and the vast underground passages under the mountain mostly. Most other races feel comfortable pushing around a couple Kobolds, but in numbers they are considered rather dangerous. The leader of the Kobolds is a small conclave of Shamans and Soothsayers that sometimes are gifted enough to speak to the Great Dragon.
Oh, and there are a VAST amount of Half Red Dragon creatures in the mountain, including Kobold half dragons, which are revered as basically gifts from the Gods. You ever seen the ability adjustments of a Half Red Dragon Dragonkin?
The Dragon-Mount is a lonely mountain, surrounded by a forest on most sides, although a bit of swamp does come pretty close to it. There's some gentle rolling hills leading up to it, and after those, there is a great plain stretching a vast distance. The bounds of the plain are not known to your people.
