As the party heads for the entrance of the cave but you do not see a cultist guard but an imposing figure with a Halberd examining the dead cultist. She stands at the mouth of the cave.
If she's not seen us yet, Zed thinks it is best to strike with that advantage! Doing his best to silently put down his end of the chest the dragon egg is in, Zeds pulls his weapons and attempts to stealth up and attack with surprise...
Stealth (if needed): 24
(Holding off on attack rolls for now as if stealth doesn't work and we're spotted Zeds may try talking instead... And I don't know if it would count as a surprise round for advantage or not?)
Seeing Zeds sneak off, the kobold would raise a clawed finger but realize it was too late. "I was going to say we could dress like cultists and try to convince her we were on her side..." he would whisper to anyone nearby.
Believing he has the element of surprise and hoping to dispatch her quick, Zeds attacks her from behind..,
Shortsword attack: (2 or 5)+6 for 11 to hit, 9 piercing damage
Bonus Action Offhand Shortsword attack: (20 or 5)+6 for 26 to hit, for 6 damage plus 14 sneak attack damage
After the attack Zeds uses his Fancy Footwork feature to use whatever movement he has remaining to go past the purple clad woman heading away from the entrance and hoping to keep her attention on him and not the others coming up behind her. (With Fancy Footwork he doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks from those he’s attacked…)
(rolled attacks w/adv assuming it’s a surprise round but listed rolls in order in case it’s not…)

"We are dead, this is bad... Zeds is to hurt.." Krackle would cry out as he leaves the chest and moves out of the cave entrance begins heading north. he is going to move 30ft north... staying within firebolt range while staying as far away from the woman as possible....
He would stagger and struggle to move quickly before turning and slinging a firebolt towards the woman.

"Hey! Are you a dragon cultist!? Just... Just wondering!" The kobold would shout as he continued to move farther away before throwing another firebolt in her direction!
The lady blocks Krackle's attack with her Halberd. "Yes I am. My name is Frulam Mondath and I assume you are responsible for killing my fellow cultists and this one just attacked me. What can you possibly say that would convince me to let you pass unharmed."
Zeds pauses a moment, a couple quips coming to mind, but realizes that nothing he has to say will actually placate a cultist... He's on edge, ready to attack again but realizes he's best off attacking once someone else moves into melee with the woman so he tries to hold off until that happens. ((As we're attacking as a group, Zeds waits until either Stirling or Ironthar move within 5' of her... Otherwise he just holds and waits for them to talk? (Looks like a while since Ironthar has been active though...)
Shortsword Attack if combat ensues: 25 to hit for 9 piercing plus 10 sneak attack damage
Bonus Action offhand Shortsword attack: 22 to hit for 5 damage...

"You know the eggs are destroyed! There is no reason to die like the big blue dragonborn did! Leave now!... Please!" Krackle would shout after releasing the firebolt.

She has not seen the party yet. What do you do?
Perception: 17
Is she wearing anything that might give away her alliance.

Sterling examines the women and notices she is wearing purple similar to the same color of armor worn by Cyanwrath.
Zeds silently puts down the chest and sneaks off without raising an eyebrow from the woman standing at the mouth of the cave. She is unaware of Zeds.

Don't ask a question and attack. Stirling says with a sigh.
Let's all just calm down and talk a moment.
Persuasion 6
The lady blocks Krackle's attack with her Halberd. "Yes I am. My name is Frulam Mondath and I assume you are responsible for killing my fellow cultists and this one just attacked me. What can you possibly say that would convince me to let you pass unharmed."
She expertly shifts her Halberd ready to strike.
