Zarrakir whips around and draws an arrow taught on his bow, training it on the foul creature attempting to- oh...it's a bird. He keeps his arrow aimed at one of the birds, giving serious consideration to shooting one out of the air out of sheer spite, but he doesn't and instead, he just takes a deep breath. He holds it for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. "Uh....sorry"
Evelyn lets out a startled laugh when she sees the birds that turns into quiet giggles when she sees aiming his bow at the flock like its some kind of dastardly fiend. Quickly she works to stifle them before offending her new friend.
"Haha..oh my. I'm sorry Zarrokir, but that was a little to humorous. You've fallen for an old trick of the woods." She says. She quiets herself, before pulling out her own bow and notching an arrow in it, just to be ready in case they find trouble.
"You have the right idea though, now that we're in the woods we need to try and move carefully. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves." She begins following the trail ahead of them again this time attempting to muffle the sound of her footsteps. As she walks she keeps her eyes peeled for any kind to trap that might be waiting for them.
Crispy hangs back a bit, not because she is afraid, but if something does happen, she can react appropriately. She takes in the surroundings carefully.
Evelyn, as you move forward into the woods you see nothing out of the ordinary, just the path continuing onwards for a while. You can see a dim light glowing from the edge of your vision however, directly at the end of the path
"Be Weary." She whispers before continuing towards the light, keeping herself in the shadows. .She stops before she reaches the end of the path and tucks herself behind a nearby tree. Peering around the tree, she tries to make out the source of the light.
As you reach the end of the path, you look past the trees and see a large clearing with a magnificent temple sitting in the middle of it. Easily 40 feet tall, the temple dominates the clearing. You can see ornate carvings all over the temple, but cannot make out what they are from this distance. On the side facing you, you can see a large set of double doors. The left door is covered in various colors, blues, reds, greens, blacks, and whites are brushed across the surface of this side of the doorway. The right side seems to be glinting in the sunlight, almost as if it is made of metal. Parts of the right side appear to be golden, others silver, bronze, or even brass. The entire temple seems to be incredibly ornate with gilded edges all around it, and the temple seems to be glowing. In front of the doorway you can see 2 kobolds holding crossbows, one on each side of the door. You can see a few goblins walking laps around the temple, marching in step with each other.
"We can take them all out at once! We can have the stealthiest of us attempt to take out the goblin patrol. At the same time, those of us who are ranged can try to take out the Kobolds and their crossbows. " Zarrakir looks at the small group of creatures before them. "Hmm...I'm better with a bow than a sword, so I would prefer to stay back and fire. I'm not too terribly quiet in this armor, so I doubt I'd be good trying to sneak up on them".
"I'm am trained well in stealth, though I favor the bow." Evelyn says, patting the weapon affectionately. "I can go with either team, but if I have a choice I prefer ranged."
"Someone cover me by taking out the ranged kobolds. I'll sprint up and take care of the patrol..." Crispy holds her short swords, one in each hand, flipping and turning them like a juggler. She watches the patrol, waiting for the point they are closest to where everyone is hiding.
I'm assuming there's no cover from where we are to the kobolds?
Zarrakir nods "Then Evelyn and I will see about taking out the Kobolds. Brunella. It's you and Crispy. You know what to do." The Tiefling gives his companion a knowing look. He trusts her. He knows he doesn't have to tell her what to do. So with that, he nocks an arrow and draws it back. Zarrakir takes a few steady breaths as he waits for Evelyn to take aim and the others to get into position.
//The kobolds are about 40 feet away from where you guys are, the goblins are rounding the edge of the temple and are about 30 feet away from you. There is no cover once you guys step out of the trees//
And don't roll a natural 1 =P

Zarrakir, you narrowly dodge out of the way as a large flock of blackbirds spring out of the bushes in your direction, scaring you

Crispy slides her short swords back in their holster. She lets out a breath of relief.

"Awwwww yessssss...." Crispy whispers, as she unlatches and slowly pulls out her short swords. "Lets go make some friends...."
Two ranged and at least two melee.
"How do you wanna do this?" Evelyn asks, turning her attention to her companions.
"Quiet or loud?"
