"I'll lead the way." Zenfis ties up the arms and legs of the kobold he picked up with his rope and starts leading the group towards the keep.

Smart nods at Zenfis, as if to confirm his assumption, and then also glowers at Balasar. "Fine", she grunts , bowing down to lift the remaining unconscious kobold. "I'll do it myself."

She then pants after you, cursing all the while.

Heiboros speaks up, "all I worry is that it will incite the dragon's rage. That's the last thing we need here.

Balasar, for the most part since things calmed down for a time, let most of his focus turn towards keeping an eye out for any other raiders popping out of the wordwork. But he had been listening to the various exchanges. Most of which elicited an ever deepening frown or click of the tongue, yet he'd remain "diplomatic" about things by remaining silent and feigning being too focused on the task of lookout. Or tried to, in any event, but...

"So foolish. We'll be lucky enough to convince them to let you in, Ms. 'Smart'." He'd say to Smart, though not without the last word coming out sounding sarcastic. "Let alone more than one 'prisoner'. But have it your way." On that note, Balasar moved to follow after Zenfis with warhammer in hand, and a readiness to brush off any further glowering or commentary from Smart. At least until the group had made it somewhere relatively safe.

Map of the town, Everyone is traveling west to east heading towards the keep with Linan Swift in the lead guiding you through the town. Fires burn at various buildings as you walk down the empty street. The pace is a little slow with the Kobolds in tow. After five minutes of walking you come across a house that is burning and you can see 5 Kobolds going into the house and bringing items out arranged in a semicircle around the front door is 4 men In robes the men see you as you approach and they pull out Scimitars while calling to the Kobolds

Here is the battle map. Everyone Roll Initiative Also if you want to change your marching order let me know and I will move around same with the npcs if you want them in a different location. Linan's Initiative: 14 , Kobold:10, Cultist: 16

Initiative 13. Also Heiboros would probably be in the front of the party.

My contest against the kobolds: 13 

If he can he will shout, "Stand aside! We slew and defeated several kobolds less than an hour ago! Do not consign yourself to their fate!"

Initiative 20

Smart in the back is good! What she would have chosen too, of course!

The moody kobold groans as there are more of her kind showing up. Initiative 16

Updated map, I just need initiative rolls for Sister Evangelina  and Balasar

"So not just smallfolk are wrapped up in this plot!" shouts Sister Evangelina.  Initiative: 4

It's been about 24 hours so i am going to go ahead and move on

Initiative order

Cultists: 21

Zenfis: 20

Evangelina: 19

Smart:16

Heiboros: 13.5

Kobolds: 13

Linen Swift: 3

I'll add Balasar to the initiative board when he rolls it.

Cultists are first. The first Cultist moves to the south of Heiboros and attacks with a Scimitar Attack: 21 Damage: 2

Next Cultist moves in front of Heiboros and attacks with a Scimitar: Attack: 7 Damage: 3

next Cultist will move in front of Balasar and attack with a Scimitar: Attack: 11 Damage: 5

Final Cultist will move up 10 feet and use the Dodge action 

Zenfis is next up

Zenfis will drop the kobold he is carrying, go into a rage, and move up to attack the cultist to the south of Heiboros.

Greatsword attack: Attack: 23 Damage: 12

If that kills the cultist he'll move up, otherwise he'll end his turn there.

Initiative: 14.

@Trobiant: Sorry for the delay there! Although if need be in the future, I'm happy with just being placed at the bottom initiative/being treated as having rolled a 1. Because with a mighty +0 to initiative, it's always going to be a coin flip when it comes to Balasar anyhow.

Zenfis slams his Great sword into the cultist shoulder. Blood covers the front of the cultists robes. The Cultist staggers but stays upright. You can tell he is breathing hard and the wound is bothering him a lot, but he remains standing.

Here is the updated Initiative list

Initiative order

Cultists: 21

Zenfis: 20

Evangelina: 19

Smart:16

Balasar: 14

Heiboros: 13.5

Kobolds: 13

Linen Swift: 3

Next up is Evangelina

Going to declare my actions now because I might be gone for a little while. Feel free to adjust them based on how the situation has changed.

 edit: ignore this

Evangelina moves up to the square south east of Heiboros and attacks the Cultist north of her. Attack: 12 Damage: 8

Evangelina swings her weapon and the Cultist deftly dodges to the side.

Smart is next

Smart, cussing at the kobolds in draconic, pulls a strip of pork rind out of a small bag. "You're useless! All you know is destroying and you can't even do that right!"

She casts grease (Dex Save DC 13) on the area I've roughly indicated below. Smart would at least like to include the two cultists right in front of us, the one behind them and the kobold next to that cultist. If the radius can be extended to the other kobolds without including Evangelina, she will do that.

If any fail the saving throw, Smart will shout "And stay down!"

She will then vault over the small stone railing to her left and get some cover if possible.

Ac: Unleash Lightning Breath Weapon on 2 Cultist to the right of Balasar. Dexterity Save [DC 13] to take half of 1 Lightning Damage.

"Look at the brass balls on these ones!  Not even a word of demand or care in the world!" Balasar said as electricity began building up in his throat and sparking across his teeth. "Let's see if we can change that!" He says as he switches from a more guarded posture to setting his shield aside long enough to exhale a deadly line of electricity.
