Ka'z, Za'r, Ru'k, Tu'ka and Kurg hastily moved through the streets toward the village square, deep frowns etched across their faces. The sudden summons had come without explanation, and judging from the number of kobolds already rushing in the same direction, whatever was happening clearly involved the entire village. Ka'z walked at the center of the group, his expression unusually serious as he tried to understand why O'nil, Tong'a and Lan'ka would call a gathering so early in the morning.
By the time they reached the village square, a large crowd had already gathered around the podium positioned before Tud'or's statue. The moment the villagers noticed Ka'z and the others approaching, they instinctively shifted aside, creating a path for them.
