As the last of the party exits the tunnel and moves closer to the stream, two thumps come from behind them as two cultist land in a crouch and leaps forward to attack Smitty and Melnar. Out of the brush on either side of the tunnel six kobold stand and use the slings to attack the party.
C1 Attack on Smitty: 10 C1 Damage on Smitty: 2 C2 Attack on Melnar: 6 C2 Damage on Melnar: 5
{OOC: Kobolds going clockwise from one closest to exit}
K1 Attack on Gromar: 23 K1 Damage on Gromar: 3 K2 Attack on Gromar: 17 K2 Damage on Gromar: 6 K3 Attack on Rha'el: 7 K3 Damage on Rha'el: 6 K4 Attack on Rha'el: 16 K4 Damage on Rha'el: 5 K5 Attack on Erevan: 21 K5 Damage on Erevan: 5 K6 Attack on Erevan: 6 K6 Damage on Erevan: 4
Erevan is hit from the first stone from K5 but is able to deflect the second stone. Gromar spins his glaive and expertly deflects the stones from both kobolds and goes into his warrior stance. Melnar shifts 5 foot instantly causing the cultist scimitar to slash through the empty space where he had been. Smitty, however, is not as lucky and gets a scratch from C1's attack. Rhae'l, like Gromar, expertly deflects the stones with his glaive.
Erevan grinds his teeth and winces as he's stricken from the projectile. Erevan with his sabre in hand, brandishes a shard of ice from his Component Pouch and the shard elongates into a Ice Knife while he channels his innate magic into it. After creating the Ice Knife, he flings the knife toward the bushes, at the kobold in the center of the group.
Attack: 7 Damage: 4
Hit or miss, the shard then explodes. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC: 11) or take 7 cold damage.
As Melnar takes a step back from the Cultist attacking him, he throws his empty hand out and dark energy surrounds the Cultist. He then fires his crossbow, firing a purple blast of energy.
BA: Cast Hex C2 has disadvantage on Dex Checks. C2 tackes an additional 1d6 Necrotic damage when hit by Melnar. Action: Fire Eldritch Blast Hand Crossbow (casting Eldritch Blast)
Rha'el moves directly west, skillfully navigating between his comrades. His left hand suddenly begins to emit dark energy as he he thrusts it forward into the face of the cultist.

The Ice Knife flies at K5. He deflects it upward causing it to shatter and rain down shards onto him and his companions. All 3 dive forward trying to get out of the way.
Dex save K4: 18 Dex save K5: 22 Dex save K6: 16
K5 successfully dives out of the way but his two companions (k4 and k6) get riddled with shards.
Gromar successfully slashes K3 across the throat, dropping him. Spinning around, he stabs K2 through the chest.
Cultist 2 staggers from the hex causing Melnars attack to pass by his head and fly up the tunnel. Due also to the cultist moving, Rha'els attack slams into a flying bug and it drops from the air.
Smitty spots the Kobold and pierces it chest with a bolt and it drops out of the bushes onto the ground.
{OOC: RIP K4, K6, K1, K2, K3. K5 and C1 and C2 left alive.}
The enemy's turn.

K5 Attack on Erevan: 19 C1 Damage: 3
Erevan gets a slash across his arm as the Kobold rushes up to him. Smitty dodges out of the way of the cultist as he attacks him. Cultist 2 misses badly as he is still off balance from the hex.
Smitty, dodging the first cultist and taunting him, scans the field while quipping to the cultist "Is that the best you can do?". He fires off a shot at the second cultist at range. Attack 19 and Damage 7
Melnar's attacks misses the cultist as it staggers fowards , but it gets dropped from Rha'els glaive through its chest. Erevan swings wildly from his elation at dropping 2 of the kobolds and the attack goes at Gromar (he will need to make a dex save. If it hits, the full damage. Dex 11). Gromar misses the kobold as it moves, but along with the bolt Smitty fires, finishes of Cultist 1.
Erevan winces and grinds his teeth from being struck again by the mini-dragon. Erevan angrily shrieks while unleashing a vicious swing of his Sabre onto the kobold.
Gromar feels a sharp pain leap across his back from an angle he feels sure was clear of enemy combatants a moment ago. Turning with his glaive brandished he sees Erevan dancing wildly. "Hey! Watch where your swinging those hips, elf! Maybe if you'd quit yer dancing about you'd stop hitting me."
Erevan darts his eyes over to Gromar in the midst of striking the kobold.
"I simply miscalculated your reflexes again." Erevan states boldly, trying to be optimistic in a dire situation and wants to prevent himself from being overwhelmed from anger due to combat.
Melnar steps to the side and allows the 3 others to pass him through the gate. Taking the rear of the group with his crossbow drawn. Looking around as they move through the town.
