Chapter 18 by Drakkwall Drakkwall

What kind of scheme is the Kobold considering?

An chemical scheme

As they walked along the empty huts the kobold decided to initiate his plan and as they came close to his hut he was glad he had started making supper before leaving to check out the market. Turning towards the reptilian beauty next to him, getting a glorious view of her massive melons with his five feet frame leaving his head at the same level as he toned stomach. "Would you like something to eat or drink before you decide upon a hut? I have a pot of stew in my home, there's more then enough for both of us if you'd wish to join me." The scent of the stew was floating through the air from his small hut and he could hear a cute gurgle from Runa's toned tummy and her sharp tongue flicked across her lips and she rubbed his head with her clawed hand, he felt very indignified but let her pet him.

"Smells good there Scorh, I hope you do not mind me calling you that, but Scorchscale is a bit of a mouthful, and I also hope you got plenty in the pot because I am very hungry." She then walked past him, her loincloth covered ass swaying in front of him, her lovely tail swaying like a dancing cobra from her tail-bone, showing off her curvy body with every step, making the poor kobold swallow a big load of spit before he followed. "It's alright, I have plenty. Caught a big dire boar last week, I am making the stew of what is left of it, intestines, brain, snot, tail and other parts."

"Mmmm sounds tasty." The scale covered beauty murmured hungrily as she drooled bit in hunger.

The duo entered the small hut and the small pot that was boiling over a fire made from rune stones could be seen in the center of the small hut. There was a stone desk equipped with a general craft workshop for all manners of craft, next to it stood a big stone bookcase filled with books, cans, skulls, components and trinkets, on the other side of the crafting station laid a big pile of hay, easily big enough for two grown medium sized humanoids, while in the middle of the room was a circle shaped stone table with four rocks as chairs, there was a trap door in one of the open corners of the hut and there was a small cabinet of wood filled with clay made plates, forks, knives, mugs and cooking tools.

"Have a seat, the stew is ready, I will just turn off the fire and pour it up." Scorchscale said as he grabbed two big clay bowls from the cabinet and walked over to the rune stone powered fireplace. The lizardfolk woman watched with amazed eyes as he spoke the command word and the fire stopped, and the rocks laid innocently in a pile, cool as if they had never been burning, she commented as he poured the stew into the two big bowls, her distraction with the runes letting the kobold proceed with his plan. "Wow, I have never seen so effective runes before, I thought that only the warmbloods had recreated the ancient runes efficiently enough to make them so effective."

Scorchscale just chuckled and carried over the two clay bowls, filled with steaming stew, and sat down by the table, Runa had to sit cross-legged on the stone floor but she didn't seem to mind. "I am a scholar, while I may be weak in magic and battle prowls so do I have my mind, I have studied what tomes, artifacts, trinkets and relics there is to find and I learn. Those runes are just simple fire runes, used for making smokeless fire, I believe they are used for fire weapons nowadays, but I find them to be more useful as smokeless light and heat sources, less dust filled lungs if you know what I mean." The two chatted a bit about runes and their aspects while the plan of the kobold went into working.

What is he up to?
