OoC: Thanks!

At the bottom of the stairs, Ransyl waits and prepares for the Kobold to come into sight. When he is in range he will attack with his greataxe. 

Attack: 8 Damage: 10

ooc - basically wanting to hold my action until the Kobold comes down into range. If this is not possible, I will use my action to dodge. 

Faen is peers up the stairs, but, as she does not see the kobold, she will wait until she sees a kobold before using her sling (hold her action or dodge as Legoslost said if not possible)

Attack: 7   Damage: 6

Since only one of the creatures is following him, and Kirinar is only about halfway down, he plants his feet and takes a swing at it, deciding to change his tactics.

Attack: 22 Damage: 7

If the kobold falls, he will yell back to the group, "Change of plans! I'm going back up!" and move up the stairs, stopping just before turning the last corner.

If it doesn't, he will stand his ground and fight!

Hearing the grunting of combat in the stairway, Keyleth rushes up to behind Kirinar on the stairs. Shouting, "Kirinar, duck!" she fires an arrow at the kobold in front of him [I'm assuming the kobold is right next to him now, since he just attacked it with his morningstar].

Attack: 8 Damage: 10

OoC: What is with all these terrible attack rolls?

Radagast hears Krinar and Keyleth fighting the Kobolds on the stairs. He waits and prepares to cast his chill touch spell on first Kobold that comes into sight.

Attack: 16 Damage: 2

Ransyl (12/13), Faen (10/10), Kirinar (8/12), Keyleth (9/9), Radagast (5/8), Kobold 2, Kobold 3

Ransyl and Faen prepare attacks in case the kobold appears.

Kirinar jabs at the creature but the kobold is able to parry his attack.

Keyleth rushes up to behind Kirinar on the stairs. Shouting, "Kirinar, duck!" but as noted when she gets there she can't get a good shot off at the kobold because she can't see it as it is around a corner and not in a direct line from where she is.

Radagast also prepares a spell.

Kobold 2 swings at Kirinar with his dagger but Kirinar easily blocks it.

Kobold 3 does nothing.

OoC: Sorry, I was being dense, apparently. Was thinking the reason we wouldn't be able to see the kobold is that it had distance between it and Kirinar, and that Kirinar would have to move back up to engage it. But, around the corner! That would do it!

"That's not gonna cut it, little lizard-beast! How about a heaping helping of my slingy-spiky-death-ball?!!" Kirinar was feeling quite energized by the battle. He had trained and trained and sparred and practiced against dummies, but today was his first series of actual battles, and he was LOVING it! With the last word, he swung the morningstar around to strike the creature.

Attack: 6 Damage: 7

Only to smash into the corner wall of the tower... "Ouch!!"

The kobold jabs at Kirinar and his armor barely holds but is uninjured by the attack. 

The other kobold comes down the stairs and is now behind Kobold 2 but is unable to see you to attack.

“How’s it going up there?“ Faen calls out.

Unable to get a clear shot in the cramped stairway, Keyleth heads back down to join the rest of the party until the whiff fest between Kirinar and the kobold is resolved. "Kirinar slew one of the kobolds at the top but one of the others is engaged with him in the stairs. A lot of missing both ways so far. The stairway is so narrow it's impossible to help until they move out of there," she replies to Faen.

Now that the other kobold has come down the stairs, Kirinar will continue backing down the stairs, dodgeing again as he goes. "Yeah, come on down, you droning ill-bred wankers!"

As Kirinar emerges from the doorway, Keyleth once again readies her bow, prepared to fire an arrow into the heart of the next kobold through the door that attempts to attack one of her allies.

Rolls for readied action, if it is triggered:

OOC:  At this point Kirinar I feel like I should point out the action disengage that would prevent attacks of opportunity when you move back.

(OOC: Yeah - that's what he does! Disengage and move all the way down to the main room =)

Kirinar disengages as he sees the second kobold come down. He makes his way down the stairs into the main room.  As the two Kobold's make their way down in pursuit of Kirinar Keyleth has her bow ready.  As the first appears on the stairs Keyleth waits for it to clear and move to attack a companion and she puts an arrow through its throat, killing it.  Radagast is also ready with his spell Chill Touch and as the third kobold appears he casts it and it dies, a creepy hand covering its face as the life if sucked out of it.

 Again quiet settles on the room as the last kobold dies.  You notice that the third kobold does look a bit different as it has a set of strange goggles on its face.

Faen goes to take a closer look at the goggles, grimacing as she takes them off the dead kobold’s face.

OoC: Is there anything peculiar about the goggles?

Now that the last of the kobolds is down, Keyleth heads back up to the tower to take a more thorough look around. She takes a closer look at the mounted crossbows to see if it looks like either of them would be usable as a regular portable crossbow, and checks for any bolts lying around to go with it. She also looks around the room for anything else that might either be valuable, useful, or otherwise interesting.

Kirinar goes up with Keyleth, taking a bird's eye view of the place and looking for any other enemies or clues. Was this an ancient lizardfolk temple? Or some other cult long since drowned out by the swamps?
