The Great Escape

"Are you guys ready?" Lux asked as he scanned the faces of the Kobolds around him.

All the Kobolds nodded their heads. They had determined expressions on their faces, which gave Lux the feeling that they were planning to put their lives on the line for this mad sprint.

Lux had also summoned Pazuzu to make noise and lure the Giant Worm away as a last resort and ordered him to fly behind their group.

Just as Lux was about to signal the start of the operation, the oldest Kobold Mage who was mounted on top of Jed said something that made the Half-Elf want to slap him silly.

"If the Giant Worm discovers us then we'll just fight it to the death like true Kobolds," the Kobold Mage said. "Our God, Ross, will definitely send our souls to the next batch of eggs in the nursery."

All the Kobolds nodded their heads with the exception of Cadmus. He had no intention of dying in the dungeon, and it was evident in his eyes.
