Your first memory is that of the cold tundra wind, you felt it down your throat as you gasped your first breath. You don't know who left you in an icy lake when you were just an egg, what you do know is that the kobolds that fished you out and lost tail and fingers gathering kindling to warm you are your family.
When they saw your golden scales for the first time they rejoiced and showered you with little trinkets, food and even some gold pieces. They patiently waited for you to spit a fire that would warm their bodies and souls but nothing but smoke came out of your mouth. Even then they did not shun you, and in time you learned to produce sparks, not from your mouth but with a twist of a wrist.

You are now finally one month old and Snuv, the oldest of the 22 surviving kobolds comes to you with a worried look on his face
"Oh great sun that has landed, the icy winds are bad as the day we found you, your food and twigs are almost consumed. We fear we might not be able to sustain your fire alone, for we be five times less than we were before."

Seeing your family starving to feed you prompts you to action, you decide to

You decide to hunt the great white fur creature, you fly right above it and then dive with the intention of ripping its neck but halfway down it spots you, surprised you stop your descent but still see a duplicate of yourself flying down to fight the fured one. You stare in awe as the hulking figure keeps swinging, hitting nothing but air with its massive arms until your duplicate explodes into purplish flames, startled, the white figure falls down the mountainside cracking its neck in the descent.

Proud of your achievement you start sizing up the great meal to realise it's simply too big to haul with your small wings. You gorge yourself in its meat and take what you can back to your family.

Your arrival is celebrated, the kobolds waste no part of your haul, they take the fur hide to make coats, they sharpen the bones into javelins and cut up the meat into many rations, eating only a pittance and hoarding the rest for you to eat later.

After a night well rested you decide to

Your family has told you that there is little of interest around you, only caves much worse than this one, some with other kobolds others with nasty things. On the east following the mountain range are some dwarves to avoid, they say, and to the west there is a human town made-up of ten villages around some ponds and lakes. To the south there's a long stretch of frozen plains difficult to traverse during winters like this one, full of wild hunter humans. The north, no kobold has had the bad judgment of climbing north and came back.

With this knowledge you beat your wings and go

You fly southwards, for quite some time the only thing you see is white plains except for the occasional small collection of pine trees. The trees become more numerous becoming a proper forest, there still high in the sky you spot some tents. As you investigate you can make out three distinct groups of wild humans.
The bonies as you call them, are quite larger than the others, completely hairless and heavily adorned with bones.
The hairy, have long hairs of gold and red and are always filled with hides and furs, they seem to fear the bonies.
And the shorties, their tents are the sturdiest and they seem to spend all their time gathering plants and fishing instead of hunting deer like the other two.

You also spot a rare cave within the forest that seems like a good place to rest, as you fly down to it, small bluish green creatures spew from the cave and start throwing things that explode in the trees freezing then, an arrow also fly in your direction taking two scales with it.

You try to communicate with the hostile little creatures, instinctively you conjure crude illusions of shapes like their own to insinuate that you could gain something from each other, all the while you fly evading their attacks. Most of the goblins stop after seeing your magics, but two pesky ones keep throwing the freezing bomb, one nearly freezes your wings leaving a bad burn.
Angry at those pests you grab the Arcane in your hands as a an almost solid force ad twist it with the intention of producing a great big fire ball, instead you shoot sparks in their direction that seem harmless at first but then react with their bombs, causing them to explode and freeze in place.
Impressed with your show of power the remaining goblins lower their weapons.

You will learn specific spells but will be able to specificy creative ways to use them, not as restrictive as dnd spells

The spells you now know are
>Sparks (can become fire with grear roll)
>Illusions (visual, normally crude but can be like a duplicate of yourself with a great roll)
>Fairy fire (harmless purple flames that mark your foes)

You will learn new spells organically like with the critical fighting the yeti, by experimenting and by studying scrolls and such.

The goblins lead you into their cave, you see countless of them frozen within the walls, the result of failed experiments you wonder or maybe infighting..
You feel uncomfortable as they laugh and speak in their strange language pointing at you and swinging their spiked clubs, you fear they might be leading you into an ambush, when you finally arrive at a large chamber. There you can see the goblins mining out some crystals from the walls and putting them in flasks for throwing, a great big furnace sits in the center made of dark stone, it's square and polished craftsmanship stands out from the crude shacks that surround it.

There one of the goblins, the leader you think, for many show him more hostility than respect, draws shapes in the dirt in an attempt to communicate with you. From what you can gather, they are willing to trade frost bombs for lessons in conjuring sparks.

You shake your head in agreement, the goblin leader shouts some gibberish and most of the tribe, about thirty or so goblins, look at you attentively. You twist your wrist and turn your clawed fingers producing small sparks, you repeat the motion ever so slowly so they can follow along.

As you keep repeating the motion to create sparks you feel the strange sense of familiarity in the action, as if you were remembering an ancient memory. This memory gives you a greater understanding of the Arcane forces in the air, your sparks start to multiply and then take form as a continuous flame in your hand.

Learned firebolt spell

The goblins in awe of your flames start practicing like crazy, two produce pitiful sparks but another one produces clear white hot sparks. It immediately uses its new found power to attack the goblin leader and suddenly a bunch of them are fighting.

These goblins seem like loose cannons and they'd probably end up revolting against us like they're doing to their current leader. I think we should ally with the spark maker for now, take note of their defenses, and come back to defeat their remainder. We only need a few slaves to mine the crystals for our 'bolds anyways.

Also keep in mind if they're under new management our old deal with them might not be acknowledged, or they might just try to capture us.

You have a hard time distinguishing who is siding with the spark maker and the goblin leader so you decide to focus on the goblin leader. Your claws turn ablaze as you shoot fire bolt after fire bolt, melting the leader's face and killing one of his bodyguards. After a confusion of frost explosions, flames and sparks it is clear that the sparkmaker has the advantage, some goblins run for their lives while others fall in line, offering daggers, earrings and other trinkets as tribute to the new leader.

You turn to the new leader sparkmaker, with a look of pride that only a gold dragon could muster. With a nervous look the sparkmaker turns to the remaining 18 goblins and signals them to bring you a great large bag of frost bombs, so many you question yourself if you can carry them all the way up the mountain.

With the exchange made you decide to leave the cave. When you start flying with the heavy bag you feel pain all over especially on your burned wing. You decide to bury most of the bombs next to a noticible rock and fly back with only a couple of them.

When you arrive at your cave your family surrounds you with horror in their faces as they look at each wound in your body. They start to speak over each other
"O great sun.. "
"Golden one, what have they done to you!"
"Magnificent flame that has landed. You're missing some scales!!"
"Please tell us who did this!"
"You mustn't leave until you are healed my sun of gold"
"Great one please takes us with us, let us protect your glorious golden scales"

Desperate to tell them your tale and to have them calm down and appreciate your bounty, you agree to only go out accompanied until you fully recover from your wounds.

With your family massaging your aching body you fall into a deep sleep and only awake two days later.

Fresh faced but not fully recovered yet, you decide to

As you walk around your cavernous home stretching your still sore muscles, you see all of the kobolds huddled up next to a dying bonfire. With a twist of the wing you dramatically sit in the embers and start producing a small flame on the palms of your clawed hands.
You see them live up regaining some of their mobility.
"Today you will join me under the rays of the sun, today we shall bring warmth back into our home"

With that said you lead your family down the mountain in the direction of the closest trees, after they have filled their hands with kindling you smell a storm approaching.

Fearing the storm will be too strong to tough out, you call out to your family to only carry that which they can run with, and to hurry back home.
Most of the kobolds make it in time but some of the older and tailless kobolds lag behind, suffering the progressively stronger wind. You fly the slowest of the group one by one to safety but you can see there are still five kobolts that will probably be caught in the storm, and Snuv is amongst them.

With difficulty you fly down to the 5 kobolds and shout for them to gather around you. You desperately grasp at the Arcane trying to hold something more solid than fire, to shield you from the brutal wind. When you try to hear the stone beneath all the snow but you get distracted by the panicked screams of your family.
"Come to me NOW!" you shout
They all run close to your chest as you spread your wings to shield them from the violent storm. You anchor yourself to the ground, every time the wind hits you feel a pounding pain in the claws of your feet, you try to focus on the stone they are grabbing all the while you move your fingers, and start reciting the words Alar Potrac Petrac Arun.. you feel your wounded wing lower its guard for a moment, and hear a thud in the snow, you ignore it as you do anything but the surrounding Arcane energy, suddenly you start hearing the stone crack and shift with it the cold wind disipades.
You open your eyes and see stones piercing the snow and shrouding you from the wind like a rough stone egg, and then you feel a pain greater than any freezing wind, you see Rilbic's body twisted and limp on the snow. The others are reservedly crying around him, as if they're at the same time used to seeing this kind of thing but never ready for it.. You remember how Rilbic would always make you feel better when you saw yourself as useless for not being able to breathe flames, he would always say "When there's a cave in you just dig another path, that's life, you might not breath fire but you still warm our spirits oh shining sun that has landed."

You let out a deep gotheral sound
"Curse the goblins that have wounded me, curse this mountain, curse these weak wings.." "Stop!" Snuv shouts, backed by the other survivors. "You mustn't curse yourself oh child of fire, if you want to curse anyone you will have a long list. We live in this frozen hell because we were driven and prosecuted everywhere we went.. But I have no one to curse really, in the most horrible cold we found you, our fire, our pride and joy“ filled with tears, you await the passing of the storm in silence.

After the winds have stopped you make an opening in the stone wall, and you all go back to the cave carrying Rilbic. A funeral is prepared, Rilbic is buried in the deepest part of the cave so the cold can't hurt him anymore and everyone shares stories of his life..

You sleep next to the fire, with your body warm but your soul cold.
Come morning all you can think about is

You head down the mountain with your family, because of the storm all of the paths down are overfilled with snow, you decide to go slow but safe spending the better part of the day on the descent. As you wait for your family to reach the foot of the mountain you scout the area for caves and you find two possible candidates for your new home, any of them would be better than where you came from, for down here you are more shielded from the wind, even the air is easier to breath.
You lead your family into

You lead your family through the cave with the straight entrance. At times the corridor gets so straight you find yourself folding your wings in an uncomfortable position. You quickly find yourselves in a three way fork, you have the best fighters armed with thick yeti hides and strong yeti bone spears to protect the back and the front of the group while all of you explore one path at a time. After the maze like corridors you find two chambers, one small and one very large with good ventilation, some small fissures in the sealing let in some sunlight.
You are about to settle in when you hear a shouting from the back of the group
-Sssp Spiders!!!

From the corridor walls you see what looked like blocks of ice no larger than the kobolds move with six long legs, surrounding the group

As soon as you see the spiders you start shooting fire bolts, you miss all of them and end up causing a cave-in, separating the front group from the back group. Scared you would cause more cave-ins, you decide to hold off on using more fire. Instead you climb the passages and start biting and scratching the largest spider you find, its armor is hard as rocks, but its eyes are soft, you scratch at them until the cursed thing stops twitching. You see your group holding their own, using their numbers to flank them, finding spots between the armor plates to pierce with their spears. As you finish killing your second for you hear screams from the other side, nervous you run through the maze-like corridors trying to find a way to the other group. You arrive to find several kobolds with minor injuries and an impressive pile of dead spiders. On top of them you see Frec, Frid and Fran, three young sisters that had hardly hunted in the past, the other kobolds tell you how the three of them moved as a single creature, killing most of the spiders one by one.

You lead the back group to the front group and together you thoroughly search each crevice of the cavern for more spiders, killing the few you stumble upon. You also find two nests of spider eggs, you collect the eggs and all of the webbing at your family's request.

Confident that the cavern is secure, everyone starts to unpack. You sit by the fire with the wounded kobolds boiling the spider eggs to add to your supplies, while the rest of the family is busy recovering spider meat to store in the coldhole with the rest of the rations and repurpose the debris from the cave-in you caused to block the entrance to the cave for the night.
Tired from a long day, you all go to sleep huddled up in the smallest chamber.

As a few sunrays pierce the sealing of the large chamber you wake up and decide to

Wanting your family to be safe you propose they should craft armor and weapons out of the spiders. Hoboc the kobold responsible for the yeti coats oversees the project, he starts by separating the family in many small teams each responsible for a small part of the process, you are made responsible for cutting and drilling holes in the plates, for you are the only one who can. The other teams are responsible for things like extracting the plates, cleaning the plates, and binding the plates together.
After half a day you complete the first sets of armor. Wanting a rest from digging at the plates with your claws, you suggest that they should now go train with Frec, Frid and Fran for they have proven themselves great warriors in the last bout.

As you keep crafting and training for the next couple of days you see the family divide itself into three groups, the 7 fighters that spend all day training, including the three sisters. The 11 crafters that craft armor in the morning, discuss cavern improvements all through lunch and then go back to crafting again, and the rest that seem content either way.

By the end of the fourth day, 7 of your tribe seem ready to face danger while the rest seem at least more prepared in case of an emergency. You were able to produce 5 spider plate armor layered with yeti hide and fur for the sisters and two fighters, and simple spider plate armor for the other 16 kobolds. You also crafted 8 shields, 4 spears with yeti bone shafts and 30 spear heads missing shafts, Jhacs was having so much fun carving them that he ended up making more than we needed.

The next day with the food not looking like it will last more than a week and with very little kindling you decide to go

You lead the 7 fighters armed with spears, shields and slings on a short trip to some nearby trees. There you chew off the base of a thin tree and you all haul it back to the cave along with some kindling.
With still some daylight in the day you have the seven pick one amongst them to go with you check some of the nearby caves for mushrooms or allies. They play javelin, stone, scale and Pocpuc is declared the winner, the others thought he would pick stone being a master of the sling himself but he predicted this and chose instead scale every turn.
Pocpuc cries tears of joy while the others go back inside the cave.

The two of you fly to the nearby caves starting with the one with the large entrance you saw before, inside you find quite a bit of palish green moss growing on the floor and the walls, you take some of it before the two of you flee, from a huge furry four legged creature, larger than even the yeti.
You fly for quite a bit while Pocpuc spots caves and crevices with his marksman's eyes, you only find unremarkable shallow caves.
With the day nearly at an end Pocpuc insists you let him explore a crevice that is too narrow for you to pass. You hesitantly allow him to go after he promises to return immediately if sees any sign of trouble.
After a bit of time passes he returns with his arms overflowing with small brown mushrooms and a great big grin on his face.

You come home and celebrate your find with your family, they immediately start spreading the mushrooms and the moss around the cave to see in which spot they grow better.

After a long day of flying you rest your wings by the fire as you hear Pocpuc recounting the adventure the two of you had, over and over again, it lulls you into a deep and comforting sleep.

The following day, now that your family has their basic needs met you decide you should spend the next couple of days

You go out hunting with the 7 fighters, you fly scouting the frozen planes for any prey luckily you spot a herd of at least a hundred musk oxen, you start harassing them by making sparks, herding them in the direction of the hunters.
As the oxen arrive the fighters throw javalis in their direction, finishing those that fall with their spears.
With eight of the large beasts hunted you go to your new home and ask for help carrying them. Even with the full tribe working you take two days to haul all eight oxen.

You stand proud knowing that you have enough food for the better part of the rest of the winter and more hides and furs than you know what to do with.

After a night of resting your worn back, you rise to

They don't really need our help to make gear out of ox hide, and we should stockpile our wood now before the snowfall makes it near impossible to gather anything.

Knowing you have to act fast you go with most of your family gathering wood, once again you bite off the base of some small trees and then drag them together to the cave.
With the first woods gathered the 11 crafters work tirelessly building a hauling sled that can be pulled using some rawhide rope made with hide scraps, while the remaining kobolds keep going back and forth between the cave and the trees filling their hands and backpacks with kindling.
With an expertly crafted sled you are able to haul much more wood with half the effort, quickly satisfying your kindling needs for the rest of the winter. As the days grow colder you keep gathering wood to have a nice surplus to use for other things other than fires during great cold, you are accompanied by less and less of your kin, until one day you start to single-handedly haul smaller trees and branches as you feel your body grow stronger.
On one of these days you stumble into a group of six shorties, they quickly lower their axes and speak gibberish at you with wonder in their eyes. You speak back at them properly, asking them what they are doing there, one of them finally starts to make a bit of sense with a mix of hand gestures and loose words in a strange accent
"We friendly no harm no harm" she says as she raises her gloved palms in your direction
"Not know territory of dragon" she says with a sorry look in her face

You ask how they survive the great cold with no caves, she tries to explain while drawing some shapes in the snow.
"Flame on core of hut. The hot smoke trap down of floor, keep hot long"
You attentively memorise every word to later reproduce to the crafters of your family.
As you see them visibly shiver from the cold you produce a hot flame atop your clawed fingers, with the intention of warming them while simultaneously intimidating them.
With the sun low you decide to give them a final prideful glare and hurry home with the sled, fearing that your family might come looking for you in the freezing wind because of your lateness.

You explain the shorties hut design word for word to the crafters, recreating the drawing the best you can to better explain it. They excitedly start debating the details of how they could build a small version of the hut inside the large chamber in order to test the design and even improve it, they are confident they have enough wood for a small one.

With the arrival of the great cold you seal cave entrance and decide it's about time you

You all start making preparations for your new holiday, the Day of Sealing the day where you say your goodbyes to the tundra winds and focus on appreciating your family by crafting gifts for them.
You go gather some of the musk oxen horns to craft your gift, you carve the largest of the horns by heating the point of your claw, you depict some of your best memories with Rilbic, some of the older kobolds spot you and they too start doing memorial pieces, to those they dearly miss this day.
After you finish your piece you go help others finish their gifts when they need a bit of fire or a strong claw.
At the end of the day you start smelling the great feast that is being prepared, you thankfully have enough supplies to splurge a little on this special day. The family all gathers in the large chamber after hiding their gifts in the crevices of the cave, you all start to enjoy the feast that is composed of several new dishes like moss and mushroom soup, skewers of mushroom, yeti and oxen meat, smoked oxen with fresh moss and meat filled mushrooms, their a special treat, you never know if you will get the spider, the yeti or the oxen filling. As you finish eating and drinking freshly melted snow, one by one your family members go to get their gifts to present them, some like you and elders offer gifts for everyone to enjoy, like the feast, others offer something to a special someone in their heart.
You see all kinds of cool gifts, some made carvings in their friends armor, others crafted tools like pickaxes, carpentry tools or cooking knives, the other 4 fighters made some impressive looking spider head helmets to offer the three sisters for all their hard work. But none received as many gifts as you did, a portrait carved in a wood plank, several tasty treats and best of all a present designed by Hoboc, and worked in by the whole family, a harness made with buckles to perfectly fit you with several bags, so you don't have to carry everything by hand. You all give thanks to each other and finish the day by picking a crevence close to the entrance to mount your bone carvings of those that will always warm your hearts.

Well rested after a wonderful day of celebration you take advantage of your family's high spirits to

>Though I suppose we aren't strictly limited to kobolds in the family are we?
yes, this is a kobold only cave

>>5095421
Eh Kobolds just gel easier, I'd argue recruiting more kobolds and just improving relations with the shorties for now. Maybe we can go full metropolitan later on when we're in a better position.

>>5095425
>Maybe we can go full metropolitan later on when we're in a better position.

With spirits high you gather your family to try teaching them sparks, you start by repeating the motion ever so slowly so everyone can follow along, you then carve in the wall each step they must follow. As the day goes by you walk by your family reviwing and correcting their posture and movements.

Roll 2d20 best out of 4 because of the high spirits

Rolled 9, 12 = 21 (2d20)

>>5095485

Even if the kobolds only learn the ability to make small sparks it's still a great thing. With sparks the kobolds can make fires much easier, and in a desperate situation warm themselves if only a little bit.

Rolled 7, 10 = 17 (2d20)

At the end of the day two kobolds were able to produce sparks. Yucks a muscular kobold fighter that made a couple of sparks one time and then could not do it again and Zigga, a particularly short kobold, that was able to consistently produce bright sparks.
You try to motivate the rest of the family by telling them they can always follow the carvings and practice, eventually some are bound to make a spark, as for Zigga and Yucks you take them under your tutelage vowing to help them with their sparks every couple of days.
You expect Zigga will be able to produce flames as you do, before the winter is over.

After a decent night sleep accounting for the cold you chose to

A little food for thought for everybody voting to build the Huts how exactly are we going to build them if we don't first make tools

Feasibly all we'd need is some strong saplings and hides (which we seem to have in spades) to make them. And the huts would allow for better conversion of heat and better use of tinder, making the kobolds more self sufficient and less reliant on us. And when there less reliant on us we can do more cool dragon things, like study magic or find more kobolds.

When we do eventually have time to really master pyromancy, I want to work on Geomancy next.
Being able to create stone structures and manipulate earth to find ore would be invaluable. It would also allow us to create a proper lair so we can begin amassing a proper horde.
I have an idea concerning the theme of our lair and its surrounding Kobold settlement.
I say we move to the tallest mountain in this region and start creating a settlement in its interior.
With proficiency in flame and stone magic, it shouldn't be hard to locate a geothermal reservoir and use it to keep the place heated.

As you start to feel it's harder to sleep due to the cold you start to wonder how even harder it must be for your family that does not have an internal fire running all day, you see them desperately trying to stay warm at night using the rugs as blankets and decide something must be done and that something is a shorties hut!
Dighir, an older kobold oversees the construction of such a hut, she and Rilbic used to organize all the construction of warrens back when they were young, back when they had not been driven to the mountains.
After Dighir devises a plan for the construction, the kobolds get to work crafting only the essential tools for the hut such as some hammers, wooden pegs, saws, shovels and pickaxe, all out of spider plates, oxen bones and wood.
You start by digging holes to bury the wooden pillars that will support the whole structure, and then you build a furnace of stone in the center with some gaps, designed in such a way that smoke escapes to the rest of the floor but not the fire, "We don't want to be that warm!" Dighir jests. After a week of work the hut is nearly complete, the only thing missing is what the shorties used to isolate the roof's wooden tiles and the walls. Dighir suggested using hides but we have none left after the sewing of coats, rope and the two rugs..

Even if a bit cramped you all sleep much better inside the hut, or the cave inside the cave as some haven taken to calling it.

After a good night sleep where you feel your muscles warm instead of frozen you decide to

Start allocating duties so they can work on things in your absence.

>>5096054
>>Craft furniture and tools to improve everyday life

we have put it off for two updates we need to do this guys

>>5096054
>>Craft furniture and tools to improve everyday life
I figure they'll assign themselves certain duties and we don't need to do that part.

>>5096054
>>Craft furniture and tools to improve everyday life

Just thinking here, what could we possibly trade with the shorties? The secrets of smithing and construction would help us greatly.

we do need more fur as Dighir pointed out since the roof of the hut is not finished

Helping them or killing directly their enemies is probably far more appreciated than simple trade for requesting secrets.

We should kill those goblins, before they expand, their nature makes living in the same lands with them impossible. Preferably we attack with some warriors.

Capturing and taming that oxen herd would be also beneficial, though the herd would need a great room in the cave where to live. And food.
We should fortify the entrance of the cave, perhaps even the surroundings outside with a wall and watchtowers

>>5096054
>go into great cold to hunt for hides
We need the hides to finish the hut, and we'd get extra meat from hunting. We'd also get to see how the outside world is doing maybe even meet the shorties again, or some other humanoids.

>>5096252
>>Study the growth of the mushrooms and the moss to establish more productive farms
Or see if we can use the Arcane Arts to get ready/easy access to fresh water.

With housing needs met you follow Snuv's advice to section of the cave into different concept areas like kitchen, workshop, etc.. After that's done you collectively work to make those areas more comfortable and efficient for their designated purposes, you craft tables and stools so the crafters and the cooks don't have to do everything on the floor. Produce hanging racks so tools are organised instead of piled up everywhere and you make note and craft tools that you are in need of from sewing needles to training weapons.
After a week the areas are well established and organically start to develop.
The hut serves as a kitchen during the day seeing it is the best place to cook using the great central oven. Close to the hut several tables and stools are assembled to serve as a messhall so family meals can be had. A corner of the small chamber is reserved for storage and a deep hole with carved stairs and a cellar-like door is dug to store meats and other supplies at very low temperatures. On the far wall behind the hut is the workshop, composed of several work tables for different crafts like sowing, carving, mining and carpentry. Spark exercises are also moved to a dead-end away from the flammables, where you fill the walls with increasingly detailed depictions on how to produce spark and flame.

You wake up, you think larger? It's getting increasingly more difficult to pass through the hut door, it might have to be remade to accommodate you. Some passageways are also becoming a pain to traverse. With the sight of your family making use of the new areas you go ahead and..

Aw crap were getting to big, we're gonna need a solution for that soon. But anyways
>go into the cold and hunt for hides

We need those hides to finish the hut, and going out we could find neat stuff. And most importantly of all we could practice our magic and spells, like our illusions and firebolt spell.

I'm not saying we should annihilate a herd of ox with firebolts, but we totally could.

yes we do, but going out in a blizzard is a terrible idea even for a dragon we should wait till the storms let up and winter breaks.

as for our size we will just have to start sleeping outside the hut

We'll need some stonemasons to start enlarging corridors. First, kobold natural digging talent will be enough, then we'll need tutelage from dwarves.

You held a meeting with your family where each one discusses who are those especially skilled in a craft, you end up with the following list, that is carved on the cavern walls for all to see:
-Close quarters fighting, Frec, Frid and Fran
-Marksmanship, Pocpuc
-Carpentry, Dighir
-Mining and Masonry, Snuv
-Foraging and farming, Rott and Gotto
-Sewing and armor crafting, Hoboc
-Tools and weapons crafting, Tan
-Arcane arts, The sun that has landed and Zigga
-Trapmaking, Ziggzs
-Cooking, Boc and Yugga

You then proceed to organise some loosely scheduled classes so everyone can improve the skills they are interested in with proper mentorship.
After a few days teaching some sparks classes and assisting in some of the other classes you decide to focus your efforts on
