Abandoned Kobold Mine
-You turn on the headlight-
-At the entrance, you see signs of struggle that took place. A broken pickaxe here, a dropped gem or two there, but otherwise nothing much beyond some footprints-
-It corroborates your knowledge that something is going on in these mines, at minimum-
-Do you go further?-

-You begin to walk through the mines. It is damp, but a bit less dark now. Aside from the drip of water seeping through from the mountain above and the rubble of the cored out tunnels, you can scarcely hear a thing besides yourselves-
-...That is, until you hear a hack-like coughing echoing from deeper into the mines-

-You see a humanoid, squat creature dragging a pickaxe to a strange glowing vein in the wall. Its hair having fallen off it in huge chunks everywhere around its body, save for its face where it seems to have grown down to its feet around the chin and upper torso. Its ears look slightly pointed, but seem almost vestigial due to how tiny they are compared to the creature's head, and it is squinting a lot. While it looks hunched over due to its legs seem to have trouble keeping it upright, the arms seem disproportionately grown, even ripping through the protective mining clothing. Also, given the way its mouth is moving, its cough seems to be in actuality some kind of barbaric guttural profane non-language, muttering "numpty" and "jobby" and "haggis" like it was gargling lager-
-Luckily for you, this mistake of nature does not seem to have noticed you-
-...Although it pauses and slowly turns its head in the direction of the light that is being shown underground-

-The creature turns towards you as it picks up the pickaxe. While it does appear intelligent, it also seems hostile-
-You hear more grumbling echoing around you now. And not necessarily from the thing in front of you-

-The malformed creature stares at you in confusion, apparently unused to the sounds of voices like yours-
-You can see out of the corner of your eye that shadows are lurking from other tunnels connected to the area of the mine you are in-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Oliver: -to Voldh- I think these guys might be friendly. Maybe they're the lost miners?
-Deciding to take a chance, Oliver takes another step towards the creature and extends a hand, polearm pointing straight up-

-A friendship has been struck, Oliver. You feel a tiny bit better about your place in the world-
-The squat creatures are all coming out of the woodwork. Given the mining clothes and the length of their beards, they must have been down there quite a long time. Some of the oldest looking ones have their hands over their eyes to avoid looking at the light-

-Oliver hits his headlight to try and look around-
