Meteor crashes into a nearby field
If the want to investigate:
The meteor decimated the field. The crater created has a nearly half mile diameter. The ground is still steaming from the impact as you traverse the terrain. In the center there is a large, red, metallic rock that is cracked down the middle. As you approach the meteor it rumbles and shakes. CRACK! The fissure widens...
The rock splits and out falls a Silver colored Kobold. He's around 3 feet tall and scrawny. He's wearing black leather strapped armor and has two crescent short swords strapped to his back. On his wrists are the remains from broken shackles. He lands hard on his face, lays there for a moment, then slowly gets up, shaking his head. "Woah...", he glances around at all of you, "any crash you can walk away from, am I right?" He continues to shake off the haze from the crash, messaging the back of his neck. He's extremely jittery. He looks down at his left arm and it's just slumped there. He flicks at it with his right arm and it just sways. You can see his shoulder is out of the socket. He looks around him and eyes the big red rock he came in. He walks over, slams his shoulder into it, and POP the shoulder is fixed, "Owww! That's the stuff". He shakes off the pain.

- Will accompany the party if given the chance
- Will ask for coin for town if given no other options
If the players spend enough time with Queller he will open up about his story. If they do not, they still have an option to meet up with him in another city if they gave him coin.

If he leaves the party in good standing he can be found in the closest city to his departure by asking around. If not, they could come across him by random, but not seek him out specifically.
Queller's Story:
Queller was a slave back on the Silver Moon (Canus Luna). There are two species of Kobold on the Silver Moon, one is a larger type, known as Prime Kobolds, that stand in the 5-6 foot range, and has the typical yellow-green scales. Thousands of years ago there was a fourth moon around Toril, the Green Moon. The cause of its destruction is lost in history, but some of the Prime Kobolds did escape to the Silver Moon, enslaving their smaller, silver scaled genetic cousins. The slaves do have a typical slave roll as basic servants, but a majority work in the mines. The Silver Moon is a major source of, you guessed it, silver. The inhabitants to the three moons keep to themselves. The Prime Kobolds trade their silver and slaves with the Gith of the Blood Moon and the Triton of the Water Moon using Teleportation Circles located on each moon.
There is a rebellion growing within the ranks of the slaves on all three moons. The silver kobolds have slowly been plotting to reclaim their homeland on the Silver Moon from the prime kobolds. They are pursuing multiple sources of power to aid in their insurrection. One of those sources is the Silver Dragon Gem.

Queller was in a team of silver kobolds escorting a proven warrior to the escape pod they had constructed. The mission went sideways and the warrior was killed. Only two silver kobolds made it to the pod. Queller lost in a quick game of red, blue, silver and climbed into the pod. The other kobold died as he launched the pod. Queller knows the basics of the mission, find the Silver Dragon Gem, but little else. He remembers hearing the name Duergar spoken in briefings for the mission, but he has trouble paying attention and his job was supposed to be simple.
Queller Quest:
If Queller gets knocked out and recovered he will remember more details, otherwise he has to leave the party and be found later. On the west border of Suu there is a bleak mountain range that creates a natural border to the realm of elves. It's mostly black rock and dead trees. Locally it's known as the Blight Mountains and is avoided by just about everyone. There are rumors that a clan of dwarves live deep in it's recesses. If the party arrives during the day they will be unable to find any entrance or caves, PC can try with a DC 25 Perception or Survival check during the day. At night a faint path can be seen with darkvision that leads to a well hidden entrance, Perception or Survival check DC 10 with darkvision, DC 20 without. The entrance is a single long corridor that slopes steeply into the dark, cold mountain.
