Jararaka stops at the gate to the temple, turning around in time to see more kobolds emerge. She hisses, "there's no bloody end to them." And rushes to the one that hit Cheddar, taking a swipe with her blade.

Scimitar Attack: 23 Damage: 9

Jararaka races back into the fray and slashes the kobold who had moments ago struck Cheddar with a rock.  These kobolds, even these trained skirmishers, are weak creatures and once again one strike is all it takes to bring the vandal down.

The kobold on the ground with the rope charges toward Jararaka and tries to lasso her.  Lasso:  To Hit 11   On a hit, Jararaka is restrained.  As an action she can attempt an athletics check to break free against DC 12, or she can attack the rope to break it.  It has AC 8 and 5hp.

The remaining kobold with a sling on the roof sees Finn climb up the eaves.  It launches a stone at her and then retreats closer to Tylaerys' fire wall.

Sling: Attack: 23 Damage: 6

By now, all of the halfling refugees have fled the grounds and are loading into the wagon.  The cleric shoots Cheddar an exasperated look and then raises her mace.  "Yondalla, help me punish these blaspheming looters...".  Then she charges toward the kobold with the rope and attacks, her mace glowing with holy light.  Attack: 12 Damage: 6  On a hit, bonus 13 radiant damage.

Jararaka easily evades the rope, and the halfling cleric's mighty blow strikes the rope wielding kobold with a flash, reducing it to a smoking skeleton.

Finn is not so lucky, as the stone catches her hard in the side of the neck.

From somewhere to the south, there is a flash, a loud bang! and a roar.  Only Tylaerys, outside the wall, gets a glimpse.

1. Tylaerys
2. Finn
3. Jenviel
4. Kobold Team Alpha
5. Cheddar
6. Kobold Team Bravo
7. Jirel
8. Jararaka
9. Kobold Team Charlie

Tylaerys swiftly reloads her crossbow, peeks out and takes a quick aim at the kobold on the roof, and firing again.

Light Crossbow: 20  Piercing: 10

"Oh no." She says as she sees the blue dragon obliterating the keep's ballista with it's lightning breath. "The keep might not hold, we should head out of town."

     Finn feel a sharp pain for the briefest of moments and then falls into a dark obliviousness. (Hopefully not falling off the roof as she falls…)

Death Save: 14
…

"What?" Cheddar responds to being hit with a rock, holding his side. 
Cheddar launches a Fire Bolt at the offending kobold.

Hit:  18

Damage, if hits:  7

Tylaerys drops the last kobold on the roof.  Cheddar's firebolt misses the last kobold on the ground.  

Cheddar:

Jenviel and Finn are now alone on the rooftop, with Finn down and making death saves.

[Botting Jenviel to keep things moving...]

Jenviel moves toward the unconscious Finn and kneels beside her on the roof.  Placing her hands upon the swollen wound on her neck, the monk delivers 1 hp of healing.

Three kobolds to the west continue their peaceful slumber...

The last kobold outside the large building hisses and flings another rock, this one at Jararaka.  Attack: 11 Damage: 3 bludgeoning.   But then it seems to realize its predicament... alone now surrounded by enemies and amongst a pile of its fallen comrades.  It turns and runs east, following the wall.

"We have only a few seconds before those sleeping Kobolds wake!" Cheddar calls out to the group. 

Hearing the huge noise outside, the roar almost rattling in her skull, Jararaka startles and coincidently dodges the slingshot. She curses and yells to the halfling cleric while gesturing to the fleeing kobold: "better grab anything you don't want to leave with this bunch!" Hearing Cheddar's words, she gets the feeling that this is about all they can do at this point. She begins to run outside, following the wagon. "I'm not stayin' behind to be the next target!"

[Botting Jirel as she is traveling.]

The giantess grips another javelin and strides toward the fleeing kobold, her face a mask of cold wrath.  She lets the weapon fly.  Attack: 10 Damage: 5 + 2 rage

Jirel's weapon misses the fleeing kobold.  

The halfling cleric looks at the fleeing kobold, but turns at Cheddar's warning.  "Somebody rundown that rat before it gets away."  She then jogs to the west until she has line of sight on the sleeping kobolds.  "I'll not surrender my lady's temple to these vermin... Yondalla, brighten their eyes to the error of their ways!"  As she cries out, a flaming sphere manifests above one of them.  7

The sleeping kobold is incinerated.

Round Seven

1. Tylaerys
2. Finn
3. Jenviel
4. Kobold Team Alpha [Sleeping]
5. Cheddar
6. Kobold Team Bravo [Just one left]
7. Jirel
8. Jararaka
9. Kobold Team Charlie

Tylaerys stops her concentration on the fiery wall magic, making it disappear, then swiftly reloads her crossbow, peeking out from behind the wall again and taking a quick aim at the fleeing kobold, and firing again.

Light Crossbow: 16  Piercing: 4

Seeing Jenviel having gotten some life back into Finn, she nods and starts to fall back after the flock of haflings, trying to cover their retreat with her crossbow.

    “Ouch The Fu….” Fine n exclaims, suddenly sitting upright and grabbing her neck where last she remembered a mind shattering pain.  But something happened?  Time elapsed?

     Not much time, though.  Things seemed way too similar. Finns turns her head, delicately, and sees Jenviel there next to her.  “Thanks?” Finn says, trying it out.  She’s unsure what happened but thanking her feels right.  She adds a smile to it and then looks around at the situation.

     “We should go!” Finn says even as she reached back and prepared to throw a dagger at a fleeing Kobold but stopped herself.  It was her last dagger, better to keep it close, she decided.  Instead she sheathed it, grabbed up her sword and grabs Jenviel and pulls her to the edge of the roof so they can help each other down…

Jenviel Tsumara

"You're welcome!" Jenviel seems a bit pale since the repeated use of inherent sorcery has drained her energy. When the revived comrade grabs her without prior notice, she finds herself too much surprised to respond immediately. She's not used to the strange mannerism of being handled by strangers.

By the way, she will pull out the length of her hempen rope and place it around her waist to form a knot. "Wait, Finn san. Your reincarnated body is too weak and it might fail to sustain your soul if you take additional damage." She offers the other end of the rope to the comrade. "Here. Take it."

Action: Help

[OK... I think we can skip the cleanup.]

Finn, Jenviel, Tylaerys and Jararaka retreat to the wagon, which is now positively overflowing with scared halflings.  The area around seems quiet for the moment.  A handful of human figures emerges from the smoke, but they are all other villagers, drawn out from their hiding by the commotion.  There are still sounds of conflict and the crackle of flame.

Inside the compound, Jirel gathers up her thrown weapons.  Before she can leave, however, she is confronted by the halfling cleric, and brow-beaten into assisting with bringing down the last remaining kobold.  It takes a minute, but they eventually manage to corner it and finish it off.  With the threat to the temple eliminated for the moment, the cleric follows Jirel back to the wagon to join her flock, locking up the gate behind her.  Jirel scoops up the two unconscious and bound cultists you captured earlier, and you rendezvous back at the wagon to decide what to do next.

Cheddar, do you follow the rest back to the wagon, or try to take advantage of the chaos to sneak a peek inside the temple?  If so, Stealth check with advantage to evade notice.

[Congratulations.  By rescuing the halflings, defeating the kobold commandos with minimal NPC assistance, and preserving the temple of Yondalla, you have accumulated enough XP to advance to Level 2!  Ordinarily, I will handle Leveling up as something that occurs over a Long Rest.  For this initial story event in Greenest, however, you may take your level up immediately.]

Cheddar will use the chaos to try and take a look around inside the temple.

Stealth: 14

((Thanks for the Level up, I would like to take a dip into Rogue with it if that is ok))

     Finn rests on the edge of one of the wagons to regain her strength and breath.  To say she was out of it would be an understatement.  It had been close there, she had almost died (You did die!) before she and Jenviel helped each other off the roof.  The scene was mayhem and chaos and a part of Finn just shut down and refused to take it all in. (You owe me!) Finn knew they should get underway and escape with the halflings while they could but the part of her that would shout this out and get it happening was just... unattached. (We are one now.)

     "I need better armor," she says to herself, trying to ignore everything but unable to totally escape the reality of things.
