The group gathers the money into their Coin Bag and set off after Erevan and Gromar. It takes another 10 minutes of running to get close to the town. All the time, the dragon can be seen periodically flying past the town, breathing lightning down at the ramparts of the keep. The party enters the town and proceed slowly down the road, eyes watching for any danger. Without warning, five humans dash out from between two buildings on your left. A limping man and three young children race across the street into more shadows, and a woman carrying a round shield and a broken spear turns and faces back in the direction from which they came. Eight kobolds stream out of the alley on the family’s heels and fan out around the woman, who looks determined to delay the creatures for as long as possible.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Melnar fastens his weapons to his belt, behind his back. He looks around a bit over the slain cultists, noting their robes and typical equipment he could expect in future encounters. As his searching drew closer to the group, he notices everyone moving on into town. From the back end of the group he sees the kobolds surround the woman. Muttering to himself as he looks up to the dragon laying siege to the walls, "Inconvenient, but we can't just leave her to fight them herself."
Investigation: 7 Checking the typical equipment of the cultist to anticipate what other cultist will be equipped with.
Melnar is not able to discern much about the Kobalds. You can see there are 8 of them. 2 seem to have a small spear and shield. The rest appear to have various types of daggers in hand. They begin to menace the woman, trying to fully surround her. One of the kobolds points his hand at the woman and her shield appears to be knocked to the side for a moment. The other kobolds seem eager and start to move in closer.

Smitty dons his mace and shield and charges to the woman's aid. "Help has come, fair lady!"
Initiative 4
(edit: Forgot we were doing mass initiative. How about I help-action the girl and cast shield of faith on myself for the first round. As far as ravinaca D&D, I'll check discord thursday morning in case plans change.)
Smitty knocks his mace against his shield as it starts to glow. He taunts the kobolds with a prayer, "Look onto the holy light and repent!"
"I suppose you all intend to assist this woman. Normally I would leave her to the god of death, but I suppose I can intervene just this one time."He says before dashing towards the woman. He preemptively makes a slashing strike at whichever kobold he comes across first.
Attack: 11
Damage: 5
(OOC: Jordan, since I didn't remind you yesterday, there likely wont be DND this thursday as ill be out of town.)
Erevan spots that the woman is being surrounded by kobolds, and instinctively whips out his curved elven blade. He slides his feet across the dirt-road as he brandishes his blade in a circular pattern. Erevan mutters "Boulon de feu!" and he casts Fire Bolt onto one of the cultists harassing the woman.
Attack: 22 Damage: 16
(OOC): Sorry, I accidentally put 1d20 instead of 1d10 for the Damage roll. Rerolling below:
Rha'el barely misses the Kobold as he slides to a halt near the Kobold. The kobold glances back annoyed for a second then grunts in surprise at the horse-man and turns, putting his shield in a defensive position.
Erevan's attack blast the Kobold menacing the woman on her right and turns him to a crisp.
Gromar rushes to the Kobold, who whispers something in Kobold and blurs away at incredible speed ( Expeditious Retreat ) dodging the attack then returns to the same spot, but facing Gromar now.
Night Wine slips into the Alley that the Kobolds came out of. He peeks around the corner and fires at one of the kobolds. The creature is flung forward, the wings that had been folded on its back spread open as it slams to the ground.
Now to roll initiative:
Kobolds: 18
Party: 4
The kobolds get to go first.
The Sorcerer Kobold hisses something under his breathe and holds out his hand at Gromar and throws 3 rays at him.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing the small scaled creatures attack the group he runs ahead. Drawing his cross bow while activating his green bracer again, then reaching Rha'el in nearly an instant. Tapping the centaurs side to signal back as he took aim at the Kobold Dragonshield immediately ahead. Firing his cross bow a purple beam of energy fires out, Melnar remains silent in his focus on the shot.
Movement: 30ft, to right behind Rha'el. BA: Travel Through Time (!!Quicksaved!!) - Freeze/slow down time to allow you to focus on a specific attack, giving you advantage on a roll of your choice; however, you must apply this advantage before you roll. A: Firing Eldritch Hand Crossbow w/ advantage: 14 Damage: 6
Erevan will expend 25 feet of movement to get adjacent to the KD, the one in front of Rha'El. Activating his Bladesong, he begins to sing aloud while swaying his hands and feet through the air, as if he was dancing while brandishing his curved blade. He sings in a soft, elegant voice in Elvish: "Et si tu n'existais pas, dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais?"
While Erevan is singing, he's swinging his curved blade to strike the kobold simultaneously with his words.
The woman attempts again to attack the kobold in front of her again. Attack: 15 Damage: 5
[OOC: Gromar's quick attack as the kobolds attempted to go attack Smitty saved him from some of the damage he would have taken. 4 hp returned. Also forgot most of you are immune to Crit Damage. HP returned to Rha'el from the crit.]
The combined damage from Erevan, Night Wine and Melnar brings down the Kobold Dragonsheild in front of Rha'el. Smitty maintains his concentration, but in doing so, he failed to judge accurately in the small kobold in front of him and he misses. Gromar's initial successful attack makes him a little excited as he swings at the sorcerer and he misses. [OOC all the other attack happened only if the first hit connected so saved from that Crit Fail.] The womans attack drops the kobold in front of her. Now the turn goes to the Kobolds.
The Sorcere Kobold hisses again under his breath at Gromar and shoots a Fire Bolt at him. Attack:13Damage:5
The second Kobold Dragonshield stabs again at Gromar. Attack 1: 14Damage 1: 3Attack 2: 13Damage 2: 5
The last remaining kobold in front of Smitty attempts to attack him again. Attack: 11Damage: 3
The Kobold Sorcerers attack flies wide due to being so close to Gromar and the smell of ale wafting off of him and slightly stumbles into the dragonshield causing him to miss both attacks as well. The little kobold attacking Smitty swings widley and misses.
It is now the Party's turn. [OOC: 24 hours for all to post]
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Erevan expends movement to approach the kobold in front of Smitty. While Erevan is approaching this kobold, he's swaying his hips and continues to sing the Elvish song while flailing his elven blade. "Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi. Sans espoir et sans regrets."
Once Erevan gets within melee range of the kobold, he strikes the kobold with an elegant swing of the blade from his dance maneuver.
The group gathers the money into their Coin Bag and set off after Erevan and Gromar. It takes another 10 minutes of running to get close to the town. All the time, the dragon can be seen periodically flying past the town, breathing lightning down at the ramparts of the keep.
