Bab 131: The kobolds' plan for Arad's Draconic lair.

Arad walked into the kobold's lair, "Is anyone here?" He called, and Aella walked behind.

"Wait! Wait!" One of the kobolds rushed toward Arad, waving his hands, "Please don't move!" The kobold jumped from one stone to another and bent before Arad, "Don't move your leg. Stay still for a moment,"

The kobold pulled a small iron rod from his pocket and Jammed it beneath Arad's foot, "Lift your leg slowly."

Arad moved away, and the kobolds grabbed a nearby stone and put it on the rod, slowly moving his hands away, "It's stable,"

"What are you doing?" Aella asked.

"The whole layer is trapped," The kobold replied, "My name is Kobi. To move, please jump on the rectangular stones. And avoid the ones with a scratch on them,"

"You're going to guide us?" Arad asked with a smile.

"I will, but you can still get hurt, so be careful," Kobi replied, "Please take my words literally and do as I say,"

After following Kobi all the way to the king's room, they found the throne empty.
