"Wait, you said Insectoids are coming through?" Lilu shouted in her head. But then remembered something "but still, why did you attack us?"
The kobold replied "we wanted to scare you away. Insectoids are vile creatures. They catch you, paralyze you, and then plant their larva inside you. You slowly die by getting eaten from the inside out"
Lilu mentally gasped. "That is horrible! Ok I understand your problem. But you need to return our things. Go get your people, all of them, and meet me in the practice arena. You know the large open room?"
The kobold nodded in reply. However she seemed to still be a little scared. she thought "This human may want us to gather so she can wipe us all out at once!" which due to the nature of where they were, was told to Lilu directly.
