True Dragonshadow all too true. How would you like it if I saw a Kobold going mad and said "All kobolds are mad!" I predict you would agree with me. If my guess was right then why dragonshadow. Why would you disagree with me about dwarves but not about kobolds hmm? :rolleyes:

Okay.

And for the post you did after this, the kobolds had red circles and were shooting! I was mearly trying to enjoy the sun-is that a crime? Given the choice, I would only kill when I had to: I do not hold with killing for sport, it isn't nice. However, it was in defence. if I let myself die, my friends (?) would slay all the kobolds, and more would be dead: I am doing what is best for the majority.

Dragonshadow 06-02-2003 10:57 AM

I found this first post of Mr. Baggin's, and I decoded to answer his questions. Forgive the lack of quotes, haven't got the hang of 'em yet.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us think for a moment on the topic of Kobolds. Sure they are pathetic enemies who are simple to kill. (I AGREE)Sure they rarely if ever have any booty worth taking and sure they are everywhere.(YES, THEY ARE) But why should we hate the Kobold? (BECAUSE THEY ARE ANNOYING)Of course they are always bad guys because who among you would hire a 3 foot tall rat boy who speaks in growls and yips to work in your store or tavern? (ONLY A LOONY, BET MR. B WOULDN'T)How many of you have asked the Kobold "WHY" he feels that he must shoot arrows of fire at you at every opportunity? (I TRIED... I DIDN'T UNDRSTAND THE ANSWER)Of course not...Why? because almost as a whole the Sword Coast is racially prejudiced against our short annoying foul smelling friends.(YOU SAID IT, NOT ME: SHORT ANNOYING, FOUL) Do not they have families to feed? (NO)Are there not young Kobolds in search of a strong male role model? (NO)Take away the Sewer King of Baldur's Gate and they are few and far between. So of course they hire themselves out to the thugs of the Sword Coast, but that is not because they are bad, but because good doesn't give them a chance. (GOOD DOES NOT HIRE ITSELF AS THUGS: THEY MUST BE BAD)So I stand on my soapbox now(YOU HAVE A SOAPBOX?????!?) and cry for reform. Talk to a Kobold...(IT DOESN'T IN ANY WAY I KNOW)Larry wasn't that bad remember(OKAY, SO MAYBE NOT)...Sponsor a local "Take a Kobold to work day".(I DON'T WORK) We must reach out to our small dog/rat type brethern and share this land that we call the Sword Coast.(WHY) So in closing I say to you adventurers all, "Why become a hero SLAYING Kobolds when you can be a hero TO a Kobold?"(BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO, SIMPLE)

Sythe 06-02-2003 07:10 PM

Dragonshadow have you a friend that is a cleric or a wizard if so tell him or her to cast a spell on you that would make you understand what the kobolds are saying. Why have a strong predjuice against these creatures? Besides that they attack you and are smelly.

Lord Dracon 06-03-2003 02:36 AM

I am very sorry Lady Dragonshadow about calling you a male please forgive me. *Bows and makes up*

No, and I doubt they could do this anyway.

Dragonshadow 06-04-2003 02:52 PM

I think it is time we cleared stuff up here.
Kobolds: short, smelly, yippy, annoying, firearrow shooting, small, irritating, cowardly, biting little (insert rude word here).
There is nothing I and the rest of the world would like to do more than maim the ******?!** :D
Good Ko's intentions may have been (MAYBE) he sparked the killing of the truly innocent races of faerun: humans, elves, dragons, etc.
Mr. Baggins: you cannot hid them forevr
one day, you will make a mistake
And I'll be there.
oh yes, I will be there. [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]

On a more cheerful note :)for all you kobold lovers(how COULD you!!) I no longer serve Kobold at my resterunt: they don't grill well.

Also Mr. leggy, who IS your secritary? I don't belive you ever said. :D

By the way, were is Ko? I want to here the murdering pig SCREAM. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Are you NUTS none of these races are innocent NONE not one of them. There is no race that is 100 percent lawful good.

Right now Ko in a big kobold encampment with over 300 inhabitants. I wont tell the locaiton due to people having the desire to assisanate him. But there will be more info on Ko shortly by an interview.

Scream in agony! I suppose you want to kidnap him torture him for a couple of weeks then kill him! You EVIL I don't need to cast detect evil to see your unholy aura of EVIL!

Firestormalpha 06-05-2003 05:31 PM

Wait a second. Sythe are you telling me that the 300+ kobolds I burned to death, with my myriad fireball spells, when I got lost one day, were in fact a secrete hidden encampment? I thought they were a war party trying to overthrow the Swordcoast, what with all the fire arrows being lobbed at me and my party. About 100 arrows to a volley if I recall. Of course the fireball spells were very well placed. They went off at all the right places and the Kamikaze Kobolds detonated at the fringes of the spells creating a lovely fireworks display.

Sythe 06-05-2003 07:10 PM

Ah so you are the one. You and your party created this kind of rampage on that encampment. I just received news of it sadly hundreds perished but again escaped very very few surviors less than twenty. If you want to know how they had escaped listen to this. Before you wrecked havoc on Ko and his people. I personally chose a site above abandoned mines. Reason why the mines are abandoned are not yet known. A few kobold huts built a hole large on enough to fit three kobolds at a time. The holes connected to the mine near the secret back entrance. Sadly few of the kobold huts had the tunnels. Ko and his small new family managed to escape safely. From there I have decided to put them someplace else somewhere near the Spine of the World. As you know after the Time of Troubles there has been some magic dead zones. I placed Ko there. Along the way Ko and I convicned other kobolds to join us if they want protection.

This time I took more precautionary measures. I had one of my former adventuring companion train the small rig rag kobold force into a formidable miltia. I spent many exspenses on food weapons etc. I had kobold volonteers set up traps around the new encampment. Ko and I have convinced the other tribes to integrate with eachother despite their diffrences to unite against a common threat. Since I am near the spine of the world I paid nearly half my finnances on an mercenary army consisting of Humans, Goblins, and Ogres. Populaiton: 700+

I have spent over 25 thousand gold on this. Any who threatens the camp would personally have to deal with me.

Hmm, I have friend who live near the Spine. I'd better tell them to fry them all to death before they have their eggs stolen for omlettes.

And after hearing him scream, Ko, i mean, I would have relesed him. Mearly revenge, you see.

Uh, Sythe, are you a kobold yourself, by any chance?

Dragonshadow have you ever heard of a kobold having more than 30 thousand gold pieces from his adventuring days. Do you think a kobold can buy a small home in Baldurs Gate. No you haven't. If I was a kobold attempting to accomplish such a thing (s)he would be shunned at every turn. So the answer to your question Dragonshadow is no.

Yeah I have nice scmitars don't I [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Picked em up from a drow who was strangely with a dwarf a huge barbaric man and a woman. Took em while sleeping I did.

Also anybody having any intention of attacking the camp would deal with these scmitars of mine :D

What gave you the idea that I was a kobold Dragonshadow? I know that I defend kobolds with all my heart but there has to be more reason to it.

Freinds all! Members of KAK! Let us storm this world, never resting until we find the murdering ditchpigs that are Kobolds*spits*! Let us raise their villages to the ground, bring the captives before MR. Scythe, and let us show him what they really are! I find it hard to belive that he has seen a kobold face to face in his life! Let us bring them to justice for murdering our freinds and family!
I have brought flamethrowers, enough for one each! Petrol bombs, three per person, and enough flamebreath potions to burn half a town!

Who is with me? All in favor say "aye! Kill All Kobolds!"
All against, defend your kobolds while you can...


[img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] of war: who is the leader of KAK?

Sythe 06-08-2003 03:02 PM

IT'S SYTHE (But it's really meant to be Slythe) KAK put down you weapons there is no need for this kind of violence. The only reason Kobolds killed innocent people was to defend themselves. Wouldn't you do the same? There would be more innocent lives lost if there is a war Dragonshadow. Both sides would suffer many losses. If you lead a crusade against Kobolds then I and Ko would rally many kobold tribes to oppose you.

Firestormalpha 06-08-2003 04:12 PM

Sythe, Sythe, Sythe. There is no need to kill inocents in an act of self defense. Such an act is called outright murder, and must be punished accordingly. If the alleged inocent is the initial aggresor then such actions in self defense are permisible. I've never killed a kobold out of hatred for them; only when they strike first will they be punisged by me. For example, my unfortunate encounter with the vast encampment. To avoid future such incidents I will make it a point not to venture near the Spine unless pressing matters call me hence. All kobolds that have died by my hand (or spell) have initiated the conflagration; I merely finished what they could not hope to. Also please pardon Lady Dragonshadow. Obviously she has lost someone dear to her due to kobold raids. Delusional she must have temporarily become. Afterall there are no "flamethrowers" or "Petrol bombs", whatever they may be, in this realm. Perhaps she is refering to the Wand of Fire and has managed to somehow acquire them in bulk? At any rate such a pogrom I will not endorse. If however she were attacked along on her travels she would be entitled to do everything in her power (regardless of how cruel or devastating) to defend herself.

Dragonshadow 06-09-2003 08:47 AM

I will not kill the kobolds on sight. me and my friends will sit outside their caves, and let them take the first move. If after three mounths, they have done nothing, we shall mearly lay siege to them
Appologies about the name, Sythe.

The Lilarcor 06-09-2003 12:58 PM

I am a Ranger out on the wilds. I do not think the kobolds are evil, misunderstood and confused, yes, but they are not evil. Now you may point out some evil kobolds, but the race as a whole is not evil, just like the human race is neither totally good or evil. If we look at all the example and maybe past history, we would probably find that the reason that Kobolds are agressive is because races like us humans interfered in their lives, either by killing them or teaching them that they could get rich by going out and attacking adventurers. Lets look at this from another position, say dragons or elves. They hold a meeting about us humans, determining whether or not we are to be exterminated, based on those like Serevok, adventures messing around with things they shouldn't, our cities, our agression. This is essentially what we are doing. Determining whether or not a race deserves to live, essentially playing god when most of the Kobolds probably don't know any better. Now that I've said this, I say we organize a group to go to the kobolds, take food and money to show we wont hurt them, teach them common and opganize them into their own nation. I'd say introduce them into our society but much of the people, being blinded by adventurers and those like you, would reject them and even if they wouldn't, there would be many fires and destruction

Firestormalpha 06-09-2003 01:25 PM

Lilarcor, I have not stated to set the fate of all kobolds. I merely stated that I respond accordingly when attacked by them. This unfortunately happens at my every encounter with them. They fire the first shot, and I fire the last.

Sythe 06-09-2003 02:33 PM

I admit that I was wrong about that part. But you know that both sides Kobolds and Humans are both guilty of that crime. As you must have known by now that kobolds are very territorial creatures. As I have said before in my previous posts they would do anything possible to protect themselves. I don't blame them for their fear. All their lives they live in constant fear and danger of being attacked. My 689 year old elven friend said that back then kobolds were more gentle than they are right now. This fear has driven the kobolds mad and made them a warlike race. We are the cause of that. We move into their territory and claim their land as our own. They know that we cannot be trusted and attack us. Fear is their motivation of showing hostilities toward us.

I know that even if we are not in their territory they still attempt to kill us. They want the threat stampted out. For example before Ko's encampment was wiped out they sometimes had raiding parties to take out the nearby towns. No matter how I try to discourage this they won't listen to me. They said either they are going to attack us or us attack them. The small human towns have the exact same attitude.

I know that many of you say this. It seems that those who oppose my views is that words I just quoted is their only strong evidence."Kobolds attack us first and we just defend ourselves!" This would not happen I promise you all when we start to treat kobolds respect and treat them as equals. Nothing starts out evil except for beings that enjoy inflicting misery since they first inflicted pain on someone else. Humans are not like that no human is born like that. Drow are not either because they are influenced by the Spider Queen Lolth(If you doubt me then what do you have to say about Drizzt Do'Urden) It is the same with almost every race. Kobolds are in that category.

Interview with Ko.
Held at secret Spine of the World encampment

ME: Hello Ko my friend.

KO:Yip YAP YAP YAP YIIIIIIIP YAP YIP YAP YIIIP YAPPY YIIYPPYYAPPP GRRRR YAP YA!!!!!!!!!!!

ME:(Casts spell of Tounges)

KO:Did you understand me?

ME:No I afraid I didn't. I have another question for you though. How did you feel after the incident?

KO:Which one the one that happenend to my place of birth or at the encampment you chose for us?

ME:Birthplace.

KO: I wanted revenge. Ever since I learned to speak my father taught me never go to far from home without a weapon and some companions. I knew there were many dangers in the woods such as bears. I and friends usually defeated such animals but there was one species that were intellegent like us. Elder says they are called Humans. There were many types of humans elder said for example elves.

ME: Elder? I have never seen an elder kobold before?

KO: True. Father told me that most kobold tribes do not have elders. But those who are, are sorcerors who wield magic! They accompay my races's raids. But they are usually killed since Humans usually kill the one who has magic first.

ME:I see have you and the tribes thought of having a crusade against humans?

KO: Yes we had the desire to. A desire to kill all humans but since I met you my previous views of humans have changed. But before before of the massacre at my home we were preparing but didn't. Because one of us who came back from a journey around the world said numerous races such as goblins and Orcs have done the same but failed. Or was so close to victory but only to be defeated by mercenaries.

ME: A kobold adventurer?

KO: Yes he has great wisdom a great figthter. He defended valiantly against the humans when they attacked. He almost overpowered them what stopped him was an human with a axe and lopped off his head. The fiend seemed to come out of thin air must have been magic.

ME: What was your home life like before the incident.

KO: We were a small tribe of hunters. The males hunted for food from animals such as rabbits. Only the best archers hunt the strongest animals such as bears. The males skinned the animals and used the skins as clothing while the females cooked the food. Females also accomapny males on hunting parties. The physically strongest kobolds cut down trees.

ME: No offense but I don't believe kobolds are strong enough to cut them down.

KO: Of course there was about 15 kobolds per tree.

ME: I see and you used the wood to make arrows?

KO: Yes us children carve the trees and make arrows out of them. Our favorites are making fire arrows. We have a secret method of making these which I cannot share with you.

ME:Besides making weapons what do you people do? Don't you have recreation time?

KO:Free time and play time yes we use that time to practice using our weapos espcially with the bow. When a kobold has mastered the art of archery we form a small party. And hunt.

ME: No you hav misunderstood me I mean like festivals.

KO: We do sometimes. Only when a party managed to kill a human or captured one as our prisoner. But besides that we do things I just described and prepare to defend ourselves. In order to ensure protection we fiercely guard our tribal lands. My people believed any human who came through were hostile and would bring trouble. Even when we didn't attack that human still brought trouble.

ME: I see well that is all for today thank you the spell duraiton is soon going to wear off.

KO: YIP YAP??

KO:Free time and play time yes we use that time to practice using our weapos espcially with the bow. When a kobold has mastered the art of archery we form a small party. And hunt.

ME: No you hav misunderstood me I mean like festivals.

KO: We do sometimes. Only when a party managed to kill a human or captured one as our prisoner. But besides that we do things I just described and prepare to defend ourselves. In order to ensure protection we fiercely guard our tribal lands. My people believed any human who came through were hostile and would bring trouble. Even when we didn't attack that human still brought trouble.

ME: I see well that is all for today thank you the spell duraiton is soon going to wear off.

KO: YIP YAP??

I aplogize for the reapeat the time was up to delete it.

A triple post? Really Mr. Sythe. This kind of incoherent repetition is clearly the effect of a dilusional mind. Besides how are we to know you simply did not fake this documentation of the alleged conversation? I motion that Sythe be removed from influence on the council due to mental illness as clearly represented above.

Sythe 06-09-2003 08:13 PM

I am quite sane. If I were not then I'd be [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img] . And the interview is the TRUTH!

Come now you can't believe that I really have a mental illness right? ;)

I admit that I was wrong about that part. But you know that both sides Kobolds and Humans are both guilty of that crime. As you must have known by now that kobolds are very territorial creatures. As I have said before in my previous posts they would do anything possible to protect themselves. I don't blame them for their fear. All their lives they live in constant fear and danger of being attacked. My 689 year old elven friend said that back then kobolds were more gentle than they are right now. This fear has driven the kobolds mad and made them a warlike race. We are the cause of that. We move into their territory and claim their land as our own. They know that we cannot be trusted and attack us. Fear is their motivation of showing hostilities toward us.

I know that even if we are not in their territory they still attempt to kill us. They want the threat stampted out. For example before Ko's encampment was wiped out they sometimes had raiding parties to take out the nearby towns. No matter how I try to discourage this they won't listen to me. They said either they are going to attack us or us attack them. The small human towns have the exact same attitude.

I merely stated that I respond accordingly when attacked by them. This unfortunately happens at my every encounter with them. They fire the first shot, and I fire the last.
I know that many of you say this. It seems that those who oppose my views is that words I just quoted is their only strong evidence."Kobolds attack us first and we just defend ourselves!" This would not happen I promise you all when we start to treat kobolds respect and treat them as equals. Nothing starts out evil except for beings that enjoy inflicting misery since they first inflicted pain on someone else. Humans are not like that no human is born like that. Drow are not either because they are influenced by the Spider Queen Lolth(If you doubt me then what do you have to say about Drizzt Do'Urden) It is the same with almost every race. Kobolds are in that category.
</font>[/QUOTE]I agree, we as humans need to do something to make the Kobolds realize that we are not all evil and looking for trouble. And for the question of Sythes sanity, I saw he still makes a good point whether or not its a falsified document... Even though I am pretty sure there is no such spell... but besides that, we need to start the peace in order to have the peace. And without truth there can be no peace.

[img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] Any of you read Legacy of the Drow 2nd Book which is Starless Night. If you read carefully you would have noticed that a drow priestess cast such a spell.

Thanks for the suppor Lilacor for the past weeks I feel the only one supporting the kobolds.

Sythe, are you suggesting that we stand around and let ourselves be killed by arrows? Not the way I want to go.
