==Transcript==
===Introduction===
A familiar hissing noise comes to you, emanating from the field of yellow-green grass that stretches away from the road.
"Kobolds?" you ask aloud, though the sound is unmistakable.
You stare across the expanse of grass, but there are several knolls in the field -- and they hide its occupants.
You creep towards the place from whence the sound came, unwilling to risk being spotted in case the creatures have a warren nearby. You don't have time to dig them out if they escape underground.
The hissing noises become clearer, and you recognize them as speech in their native tongue. You're overhearing some kind of conversation, not merely the wordless, emotive hisses the creatures sometimes use the scare their foes or express their rage.
You crawl to the top of one of the knolls, keeping low to maintain the element of surprise, and look down to see several kobolds clustered around the bloody corpses of a man in peasant's garb and a woman wearing a soldier's uniform. A small pile of gold coins lies next to the bodies, along with a halberd, a sword, and a dagger. From the creature's mannerism, it's clear that they're arguing over these spoils.
You stand up, your companions following in your wake, reveling in the shocked hisses that come from the kobolds' reptilian throats as they gaze up at you. Then you go in for the kill.
===Conclusion===
You and your companions scout the rest of the field, but there's no sign of the opening to a warren. And you notice that the kobolds' packs are filled with mushrooms and other foodstuff.
They were most likely a nomadic raiding party, approaching Bluselle in search of victims. Perhaps the fleeing peasant and pursuing soldier strayed into them, or else the kobolds glimpsed them moving across the lonely field and saw them as easy prey.
Whatever happened, at least the damned beasts won't harm anyone else.
You gather up the gold coins, and the peasant's dagger. There's no sense in leaving them here for some passerby to snatch. The man's possessions belonged to his kin, and it's your duty to return them -- though they'll find them a poor substitute for their lost loved one.
