"Untie that person and have them give proof."

Grant looks over his shoulder and shrugs as he says, "We tried." He's also gauging the distance from him to his allies, and shifts his placement should any be within 10 feet of him.

Facing the cultists, makes a quick motion in the air accompanied by the words of a spell then smirks and says, "Boo!" Dark green tendrils of energy shot out of the ground and attempt to batter the cultists. Without waiting, Grant turns and runs towards his companions, not stopping until someone more armored is between him and his enemies.

(Spell: casting Arms of Hadar. Each creature within 10 ft of Grant must make a STR save vs DC 14. On a failed save they take 6 necrotic damage and can't take reactions until its next turn. If a creature saves they take half damage and suffer no other effect.)

18 5 18 16

One kobold gets affected by the full spell. "CULT OF THE DRAGON, PROVE YOUR LOYALTY AND ATTACK HIM! OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE MARKED AS TRAITORS!" The cultists draw scimitars and the kobolds draw daggers.

"Look's like we's makin' a trail with they's carcasses..." Brokath says as he takes his maul out again.

When Grant gets back behind his companions, he readies himself for another fight.

(Making an initiative roll and combat post for when you need it, Orange.)

17 - initiative roll

Grant scans the battlefield and picks out the most threatening opponent before readying his light crossbow and firing. He then repositions to maintain distance from his enemies.

Attack: 13 Damage: 8

(that was meant to be +4 on the attack roll instead of +1, not that it matters, haha).

Brokath initiative: 7

Aryniel's Initiative: 9

12 Kobolds. (Initiative.)

2 Elves.  (Initiative.)

Init 7 for Benagol 

Everyone, just post what will happen on your character's turn.

Ooc: seeing the initiative order, I will wait for the kobolds to act

Brokath charges forth and swing at one of the elven cultists with maul, aiming at their misdection. Hopefully, some internal bleeding would give them some time to think before the end.

Maul Attack: 14 Damage: 16

(Oof, what midsection...? - provided that was a hit)

Grant reloads his crossbow and fires at the most injured enemy, or if none seem hurt the closest.

Attack: 22 Damage: 8

Seeing the misguided elves at their enemies' side, Aryniel aims first for them, saying "Corellon weeps for you!" 

((If there's no one in melee with her, Aryniel shoots her longbow, otherwise she draws and uses one of her shortswords))

Attack: 23
- if Longbow: 8 piercing
- if Shortsword: 10 piercing

*Who's within 30 ft. of the kobolds and visible?*

*Considering Brokath was the one who caused this encounter, I guess he is?*

One kobold uses the dodge action.

Another uses a sling against Brokath. As they do it, they move into an area of bright sunlight, clearly not knowing what they're doing.

Against Brokath: 19. Damage: 4

As expected, Benagol realises there is no way to avoid another confrontation with these fanatics.

As soon as one kobold steps gorward to hit Brokath, he joins him to hit the kobold

MOVE ACTION: getting closer to Brokath

ACTION: vs Kobold Attack: 21 Damage: 8

BONUS ACTION: vs the same kobold: Attack: 18 Damage: 2
