The boy steps forward.

"We were just playing with a stray dog, and this shadowy smoke appeared out of the ground and then the dog became that thing. It started snarling at us and that's when mister kobold came and saved us!"

"Hmm. Most peculiar. I guess the blues will have a field day with this one."

The guards take a short statement from each of you before letting you on your way, informing you that you may be contacted with further questions.

After the guard leaves the boy approaches you.

"Thanks Mister. "

He takes you claw and shakes it before running after the girl who has left.

"I'm Ezzetian by the way"

And the boy is gone.
