Alyanna turns to Loraphine, whispering. “There’s a pile of rocks that seem a little suspicious. Pass it on to the group.” She whispers, turning her head slightly while keeping her eye on the rocks.
Anyone who wishes to check out the pile of rocks can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check at disadvantage, due to your distance. Moving 30 feet closer to the rocks will remove the disadvantage, but you will have to make a Dexterity (Stealth) check if you wish to remain hidden.
As Paren moves closer to the rocks, it becomes apparent that a tipping mechanism has been set up so that the rocks can be easily discharged onto the path. If they were to all fall, then the path would become almost impassable, especially for any non-humanoids or creatures that struggled to climb. Paren steps forward to examine it closer, but an arrow flies across his line of vision, ricocheting off the rock face beside him. A sound like the cry of a buzzard echos around the area as kobolds spring out of their hiding places, intent on taking you out before the rest of the war party arrives. Roll for initiative!
Silently, a cloaked figure will walk from the shadows, having been watching the war convoy for a while. The figure approaches quietly after seeing a large group separate from the original convoy and head ahead to scout. The figure walks unnoticed (for now) towards the convoy, crossing the distance easily but secretly.

Crossing the distance, the figure notices the new human figure emerge and eyes everyone at the caravan as they approach. Clearing their throat, they remove their cloak in one swift motion and shove it into their bag. Now de-cloaked, the figure is visible. A tall human appearing girl with long, waist length, white hair that slowly fades through greys into a pitch black at the tips, and simple chain mail armor. Piercings placed on her nose, bottom lip and upper left eyebrow. Two scimitars remain strapped to her back along with a bag. A satchel and coin purse hanging at her waist as she looks everyone over quietly before speaking assertively. "Does your war party need any extra hands?"

Seeing the cloaked figure now revealed to be another human, the brown haired girl says somewhat timidly, "I heard adventurers were wanted for the war effort. I came here to join the ranks." She appears soft spoken and her voice is sweet and gentle.
The girl tilts her head and shrugs, speaking in a slightly disinterested voice. "I'm just looking for a way out of here. Anything is better than where I came from." You get the sense that this girl is often isolated and not good with people. Her voice has a slight edge too it and upon closer inspection as she talks, you notice a small bead tongue piercing.

Jessica sees the brief interaction between the two newcomers from her position in the back of the caravan, though she can't hear what is said. The first soldier they encounter views them with a suspicious look in his eyes, but says nothing, deferring to the aasimar woman beside him. Captain Edgren sized up the two women before nodding slowly. "Alright. You two can come aboard, though you look a little young for this kind of work, miss," she gestured at Yuno with that last comment. "I've learned my lesson about underestimating young folk like yourself, though. Take up a point in the caravan, and make sure the people around you don't die unless they're stabbing at you."
[Yuno and Roxy, choose your position in the War Caravan! You have the choice of Front, Middle, or Back.]
Scouting Party
[Initiative Order (so far): Liron (20), Paren (17), Confidence (14), Kobolds (12). I'll add more people as they roll initiative, but for now we'll work with just the two here. Confidence will be assisting you for now as well.]
Kobolds get a surprise round!
Two winged kobolds launch themselves off the pile of rocks, carrying two hefty rocks. One drops their rock above Liron, and the other above Paren. The other kobolds rush towards the rest of the party, engaging them in combat.
Winged Kobold 1 against Liron: 10 for 7 bludgeoning damage.
Winged Kobold 2 against Paren: 11 for 9 bludgeoning damage.
Roxy makes her way slowly to the general front of the caravan, drawing her scimitars quietly and holding them loosely but readily and defensively. She occasionally glances back to keep where everyone is positioned in sight.

Yuno moves to the front of the caravan and draws a long sword. She holds the weapon with both hands in a shaky grip. The weapon appears to be a little too heavy for her.
Roxy looks at her with a raised eyebrow and a smile. "Sure you can handle that thing? Don't need you dropping it in combat. I'm sure you can handle yourself though."

"I'll try and sneak closer and check it out." Paren tries to keep to the shadows as he moves closer to the pile of rocks to get a better view of them.

The girl nods and then slowly approaches the nearest soldier to ask about joining the war party.
Follows after the other girl quietly, arms crossed as she watches everyone else around curiously.
