"Chief, there's trouble!"
As I had finished inspecting the Metal Lizard mine, there was a kobold that ran into the mine screaming this.
I looked at him with one brow raised before asking, "What is it? Calm down and tell me."
The kobold didn't seem like he was able to calm down with the way that he was panicking and waving his arms around. But since he was doing this, I wasn't actually able to understand what he was going on about.
So in the end, the only thing that I could do was…
"Smack!"
"Are you calm now?"
There was a dazed look on the face of the kobold after he had been smacked in the back of the head, but it was effective as he soon came back to his senses and he slowly gave a nod.
After giving this nod, he took a deep breath and said, "Chief, it's really bad."
I said with a sigh, "Stop stalling and tell me already."
With a heavy tone, he explained what the situation was.
