For the past several days, you have been travelling a road that winds lazily across the rolling grasslands to the Greenfields. Sundown is approaching as you slide down a rise and ease into the town of Greenest. In a welcoming room in a fine inn, as you sink into your nightly activities, but you are disturbed by cries of panic and clattering footsteps of running people, before the gut-wrenching sound of gigantic beating wings. A thunderous roar suddenly shatters any sense of safety, a deafening cracking light sends several rooves alight in flames. Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!
Much like the town, Green Apples inn had descended into chaos. The flames brighten all most of the rooms and hall; the next building is catching. Despite the panic, you all manage to grab your belongings and head out into the inn to find it eerily how it was left. As each of occupants of the other rooms appear one by one, your attention is suddenly snapped to the sound crashing and snarling coming from the floor below; a struggle!
Kava follows Toh, silently freaking out about the sounds of a dragon attack. "Why is there a dragon here?"She asks Toh as they run to the sounds of distress.
"That's a question better asked of Bahamut but unfortunately I'm a bit busy right now." The short dragonborn says as he rushes to try and keep ahead of his taller friend.

She had barely got her boots off, and Ophelia found herself hurriedly pulling them back on. At least she hadn’t unpacked yet. The dragon was early, or she was late... had she lost count of how many days she had been travelling? She supposed the ten days was only an estimate, but it didn’t matter now anyway, it was here.
Foregoing her laces, the young woman stumbles out into the corridor with her possessions.She pushes her raven-black hair back off her face with one hand, while she rummages in a small pouch with the other.After a second of fumbling, she produces a small piece of leather, and stares at it intently.“Obidie, bedua, val’kat!”A bright light flows from the leather up her arm, encompassing her body before fading.She drops the material back in her pouch, before scanning the corridor left and right for others emerging from neighbouring rooms.
The excited shouts of what she assumed were adventurers rings out to her left, and she spies two dragonborn disappearing down the stairs at pace.
”Hey, wait!”, she cries as she takes off after them, figuring adventurers were probably the best people associate with during a dragon attack.
Jackis first to witness the small gang of kobolds closing in a young family; the innkeeper Linan (1), bearing a broken spear and shield to protect her hunched wife (2) and with their two children (3 & 4).
Tohand Kavaare quick to follow, but this time grab the attention of a couple of the kobolds who whisper Draconic before turning back to the bigger prize.
Kava only:
You catch something a long the lines of, "... got here before us."
Opheliaarrives on the scene just a moment later to find her protective spells are going to come into use sooner rather than later.
Linan gives an impressive swipe from her spear tip, and while it does widen the circle around them, you can all tell it's not going to last much longer...
Kava is angry, very angry, "Just want do you think you're doing!" She yells out in draconic, "how about you attack someone that can actually fight back." She approaches the nearest Kobold and gets ready to attack.

Dragons were one thing, kobolds were far more acceptable, Ophelia thought. Her hand dips into the pouch at her side, and brings it out in a closed fist, ready to see how this would unfold.

With cries for battle coming from the dragonborn, most of the kobolds turn to face annoyance now getting in their way. A few others (Ka & K2) turned their heads turned their heads, but their focus remains on the cornered family...

Kava looks to the Kobolds still focused on the family, and darts towards them, avoiding the other Kobolds as she does so. She takes her quarterstaff in both hands and goes to hit one of the Kobolds with it, following it with a kick.
Despite the panic, the bone-crunching sounds of quarterstaff and kick from Kavapierce it all, and is evident of their power as the kobolds do not get back up...

Ophelia gasps as one of the dragonborn slumps to the floor. Her hand goes back into her pouch, and she withdraws it empty, dusting something off her hands. She frowns in concentration as she points at the closest kobold (K9), and a burst of flame sprouts from her fingertips towards it.
With a horrific pop sound, the kobold is sent flopping towards the feet of the young family. Linan, the innkeeper, gives Jackan impressed thumbs up!
Having dealt with one of the interruptions, the kobolds turn to sort out the others, but see the rest of their gang crumbled... They dash for the door and scamper into the streets that are littered with smoke and screams.
The immediate tension in the room eases. Linan soothes her family and checks on them quickly before turning to leap over the bar, "I thought you all had made it out! I think we've got something for her..." She is seen frantically looking for something...

Toh has no such thoughts of being quiet and takes a more direct approach, drawing his sword and charging down the stairs.

"I agree with the lady. Come and get some." Toh brings his purple shield up in front of him, the silver symbol of the dragon emblazoned on the front.
