Faen holds out the goggles to Keyleth. “Sounds good to me. Just so you know, you will need to take some time to attune to them before you can actually use them.”
"I'll be close behind in case you run into something nasty! Although maybe going back across the bridge I should go first, and we all move together...just in case the kobolds found out the pavilion is empty." Kirinar is ready to explore the building by the recently cleaned out pavilion. (by #5 on the map)
Well rested the place is quiet as if the Kobold's don't like the noon sun and no one disturbed them at all. Returning to the door Keyleth very quietly opens it and looks inside.
This chamber has a high, vaulted ceiling, its tall windows covered over with heavy drapes. The crumbled stonework suggests an upper level may have existed at some point that has since succumbed to the ravages of time. In and around the broken pillars and tumbled masonry are yurts made from leathery reptile hides. A central communal area has been cleared around a stony monument and a large fre crackles, chasing away the pervasive damp and sending the shadows of the chamber’s many kobold inhabitants scurrying around the walls.
Keyleth goes back out the door to inform the rest of the group about the layout of the room. "There are more kobolds there than we've seen in one place so far. [OoC: How many could she see?] It will be a challenge if we have to fight them all at once. But it's not immediately clear to me what other choice we have. How about this: Faen, Radagast and I can try to sneak in and position ourselves in the northwest corner of the room so we can't be mobbed and try to get a first round of missile fire off before the kobolds have a chance to act. Kirinar and Ransyl, you wait just outside the door so the noise of your armor doesn't alert them, and be ready to come in and fight as soon as we open fire."
“Sounds like there could be at least 5 Kobolds. What’s our plan of attack? Doesn’t seem like there are any traps on the door. Maybe we could sneak in and surround them around the fire. I of course will come in last due to my klanky armor. What do you think?”
"More like 20, actually. We won't be able to surround them. I'm thinking the three of us should sneak in, get a round off, and then come back out so we can use the doorway as a bottleneck."
"That is a solid plan when faced with superior numbers! Ransyl and I can stand on either side of the door, and you all can stand back in the pavilion and pick off any that get past us!" He will move into a slightly different position to be on the west side of the door to put his shield on his exposed side from the building wall.
Faen holds out the goggles to Keyleth. “Sounds good to me. Just so you know, you will need to take some time to attune to them before you can actually use them.”
"Thanks. Next time we stop to rest I'll see if I can manage to do that," Keyleth replies, taking the goggles from Faen's outstretched hand.
"So, is everyone ready to keep going? Should we take our usual approach, with me going in first to scout it out?"

”I’m for it. That seems to have worked out relatively well thus far.”

Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
"Agreed. We should go together to the gazebo, then I'll go on ahead into the next building."
If the others agree, Keyleth will try to sneak into the next building and scope it out.

“Sounds good, I'll bring up the rear.”

OOC: You are at the very top of the map.
Kirinar stands ready to assault the area and cleanse it of these kobold scum!

"Sounds like a solid plan. Good shooting to you all - we'll be right here for the cavalry charge!"
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
OOC: You probably saw about 20 kobolds total in the room.

"Ok, let's go," whispers Keyleth, loading her crossbow and getting ready to sneak into the room with Faen and Radagast.
