Andrej sneaked into the room, the rough stone wall forced him from sliding along, nearing the point where the room opened up he slowd down even further, navigating the uneven floor with care on every soft step, the glow of fire cast shadows on the wall he was creeping by so he walked over to the other side an used a mirror to sneak a peak at the room.
Seven Kobolds were huddled in a corner, mining and digging tools piled behind them and they were all looking at the cave entrance as if waiting for something to happen, slowly moving back to the group he signaled them to keep quiet and lifted seven fingers while mimicking mining and digging to indicate they were workers and not fighters.
Taking the lead Talia walked almost up to the bend and held her breath while the group took positions around her, feeling for the familiar touch of her saber's handle she slowly pulled the sword out so it wont make a sound, the smell of smoke and rustle of scales reminded her of what was coming next, most probably the slaughter and robbery of a few Kobold workers and then a long walk before they were safe from pursuit of the guild Player members.

Talia used her sword as a mirror to check on the room and counted the seven creatures, she signaled her team and they all charged inside when she heard the crush behind her, rolling and turning to face the new threat her mouth dropped in utter shock at the sight of a fully grown Wurm armored and harnessed with a Kobold riding in a sling to each side of its head and a hundred more armed and armored Kobolds marching into the room from both openings to her right and left.
"You must be wondering why I gathered you all in here", Talia heard a player say and had no idea what it meant, her sword seemed feeble before the might of an armored Wurm and what appeared to be spell casting and fighting types of Kobolds she never heard of, remembering this guild was a powerhouse kept secret through god know what means made her sweat profusely before she could even answer.
