Nod. Hopefully it'll be nice and straightforward, but we can probably figure something out, anyway.

Anyway, they might be like the Dwarves already in your world so it'd be no harm for them to go through.

I'm not very willing to assume that the Enemy can't get any Dwarves to make trouble in my world, even if most of them are fine. I don't know much about what they're capable of, though.

I have only heard of them by story but I think they're just people.

I meant the Enemy - our languages are different in how they refer to people, and switching over to your way is probably going to be awkward for me.

Huh. Okay. The word you're using comes through as plural.

Huh. It should be ambiguous about that and also type, which is more the point - we consider that private information.

Gender? We, ah, don't. I don't think we have a word that's ambiguous about gender.

...close enough, I think. I do have words like the ones you're using but I'm not sure the context in which they'd usually be used wouldn't come through if I did. And even if you wouldn't be bothered by that, I'd be.

I don't care how you speak, it's fine.

Nod. Okay. Anyway, I'm not sure what the Enemy is capable of, so I want to be careful.

Understandably. I suppose it's risky to open a portal to yet a third world where we can hunt but there aren't any people.

It might be tough to find one without people, but if I can I don't see a problem with it. What risk are you thinking of?

I thought the manner in which you found my world was meant to be suicidal?

I was trying to teleport to 'nowhere', yeah. Turns out it doesn't do that, if I try to it gives me a completely random place with the usual safeguards as far as I can tell. And now I know how to aim better than 'completely random', so it'd be just like finding the jungle except I wouldn't specify that the place had to be in this world.

Oh, okay. In that case it could be worth a try. We'd have somewhere for people to retreat to safely.

Mmhmm. If I can figure out how to find worlds without people in them, anyway. I can actually specify how many people should be around the location, as part of aiming, but it's only in the local area, not in the whole world.

And it might be hard to check whether a world has any people in it.

...checking shouldn't be hard. It'd be an extra step but that's not a big deal. Go to a world and then try to teleport to people in that world - or make a portal, better - and if it doesn't work, there we go.

And that's not dangerous if it does work?

...not sure. Different worlds obviously have different magic, it seems possible that some of them could have magic or things that would make it dangerous just to be there or something. Might be worth it anyway, though, depending on what the situation is like in your world.

Having a place to evacuate people to would be very valuable. But maybe teach others the magic first, just in case.

Mmhmm.

Is there anything else they might be in need of?

Weapons for fighting the Enemy. Magic matters there too.

I can't help with the actual weapon part of that - kobolds don't have metalworking at all - but I can enspell things if they can do that part. The most obvious application is weapons that teleport whoever they hit off a cliff or something - that'll work even if they're armored, I'm pretty sure - but there's probably other things, too.
