"Hey! HEY! Let me go, dammit!"
He was plopped right on his chest near the campfire, and quickly scrambled to his feet as he noticed that he was surrounded by other monsters. He didn't know what to think - after all, he despised humans but he had no strong opinion one way or the other on fellow monsters. After all, the only one who had done anything for Rudy was Rudy.
Gesturing with a hand to his mouth, he coughed and let out a loud "ahem!" noise.
"Rudavegas Vegatini here. Proud adventurer, prouder magical apprentice, prouderer human slayer, and proudererer Vegatini tribe leader!"
He held his arms out to the sky in a stretching motion before returning to a neutral stance.
"...Uhh, and if you guys could just not kill me, that'd be great. Iunno about the groofus doofus you guys killed over yonder, but I don't want any part of whatever that guy had going, alright? Humans are scumbags, I'm sure we can all agree."
Looking around, Rudy gauged the reactions of the people gathered at the campfire before continuing.
"So what say, uhhh, you help me and I help you? You choose NOT to kill me, and I choose to help you in whatever way I can until the time comes where I'm confident my new sanctum of research and hunting where I, to put it bluntly, may just ditch you all. On the lightest of terms, of course; I don't like hard feelings."
Rudy shrugged his shoulders and leaned on his staff to relieve the minor pain he had received from being dropped without hesitation, awaiting response from his potential friends or enemies.
