Tiggi might not be quite as fearsome a warrior as her previous exploits would indicate.  But she'll help patch Ichi up, okay?  Tiggi doesn't have an opinion on where to move the camp but she's eager to help and has been preparing the packs for just this occasion.

(What's weird is that my friendly fire earned me a level up.  Did Tiggi practice to figure out that shooting your friends isn't good?)

The friendly fire was actually a critical fail, and so earned no experience :P
The level up came from a sweet shot against the brute near the end.

You get better at things when you succeed or almost succeed at things (without modifiers), so even if you have a huge modifier that makes it nigh impossible to actually fail the task, you still might not gain XP from it. At first I included skill mods in XP gained, but I felt that the characters already good at something were having a way too easy time getting better at it.

Well, everyone else seems fine with Ichi taking care of the only other wounded, so Tiggi will help clean up the camp from this mess by getting the child and pets out of the way then helping clear out these bodies.

Journey two hours, arrive at cave.

Greet as many kobolds as will let me.

"Me Mahtkii! Mahtkii get lost. A lot. Group follow! Clay here? Mahtkii make stuff! Elfs like stuff, sometimes. Don't know where Elfs live. Mahtkii get lost. A lot. Find Elfs sometimes. Give bowls, get food! Mahtkii no hunter.

Mahtkii then wanders around camp, listening, and looking for stuff to make other stuff with that he doesn't think the others will miss.

Grum'Tuck was tired. The journey had been long and brutal for him and his tribesmen, made worse by the startling number of kobolds in the group who couldn't seem to tell East from West even if you told them which direction was which. He had spotted the signs of a kobold camp earlier in the day and everyone agreed it would be best to divert from the journey and see if some mutually beneficial trades could be worked out.

Grum'Tuck sighed as Mahtkii raced ahead and threw caution to the wind. Well if Mahtkii wanted to play diplomat, he wouldn't stop him. He paused a moment and rested on his staff. He would wait here until he knew it was safe.

Approach the camp carefully and cautiously, gauge the reaction the first tribe of Kobolds have from Mahtkii, and learn what I can about the camp from afar.

Kiyl-Kiyl eyes the camp ahead. He, unlike Mahtkii, does not plan on getting within hitting distance until someone else tests the waters first. For he is smart, he is cunning, he is... hey, is that a pair of dead boar? Ooooh, what could he make with those?!

Kiyl-Kiyl goes ahead and starts poking at the pair of dead boar.

The Arrival

There are the kobolds, but how will they react to us? There goes Mahtkii and Kiyl-Kiyl. Probally be better to wait behind and see what happens.

Stay behind to see if these other kobolds attack. If they don't then introduce myself to them and find out what's what.

Kweed, vigiliant as always, was first to spot the puny Kobold Mahtkii-he dropped the zombie corpses he was hauling and hailed, taking off his Baboon skull helmet so he could get a better look.

"Hey, puny, this Kweed tribe! You want mess with tribe? We kill bug man-sneaky skin-sword hands, monkeys that make good helmets, giant not so-pretty when dead birds, cougars'es, sneaky ghosts, yummy piggies, even smelly not alive big mans! We strongest tribe anywhere. And Kweed chief-he strongest of strongest tribe! What you want with us? You one, or more than one? "


Finished with boasting, Kweed swings his well used clubs in slow, clumsy circles, grinning and waiting for a reply.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Arrival.
 
I'll go ahead of the group and step into view of the new tribe. I look as least threatening as possible as I try to communicate with them and convince them that I am a refugee looking for a new home. If they're friendly, I'll motion the rest forward. If they are not friendly, I'll surrender to them.

Kweed sees another kobold! Slightly less puny than the other one!

"Kweed think more Kobolds is more work to put foods in mouths. Why we let you join us? You have any *strong* warrior Kobolds with you? We need strong and smart."
