Kirinar hands over the key, then looks at the dwarf's nose and wonders why he would choose this moment to rub it...ah well, who can know with dwarves? With a nose like that, Kirinar imagined he couldn't help but touch or dig in it all of the time...
"We will be on our way, then. If the lizardfolk reject your offering and our attempts to bargain for peace, we'll let you know!! Be ready to move quickly in case they decide to eat us rather than listen to us."
Yuty accepts the key and tucks it into a pouch. She then motions for you to follow her. You exit the buildings and head the opposite direction you came from earlier. You pass across the rocks and enter a large building, one you only glimpsed for a moment.
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 fire crackles, chasing away the pervasive damp and sending the shadows of the chamber’s many kobold inhabitants scurrying around the walls.
Many kobold's watch you as you pass through and you feel the tension in the air. But you pass through safely and then head across the bridge and through the guard room past the guard tower.
As you come to the makeshift barricade that you passed through the day before a loud gonging sound from the watch tower can be heard.
Yuty suddenly becomes fearful.
"We are under attack or enemies approach. Be wary."
She then starts yelling "Close the doors, close the main doors! Hurry!"
She turns to you.
"There should have been guards outside closing the doors..."
You then hear the chittering of small dinosaurs, like the ones you fought in the swamp the previous morning.
Kirinar will put his shoulder to the door and close it behind him in an effort to protect the noncombatant kobolds. Once that is complete, he will look for the potential lizarfolk attack, and a target for his morningstar!
Just for clarification, I should have put the map up earlier. You are not near where the non combatants are. You are near the main entrance. You are standing at the barricade on the bottom of this map.
The sounds of approaching creatures is past area 1. You can only hear them right now.
(Kirinar will still move to close the doors unless the attackers can get in before he gets there, in which case he will make a stand at the barricade. Thanks for the clarification! =)
“I don’t suppose this is going to go very peacefully,” Faen remarks but pulls her bow and, peeking around the corner, takes a shot at V3 and slides behind the corner again.
“I don’t suppose this is going to go very peacefully,” Faen remarks but pulls her bow and, peeking around the corner, takes a shot at V3 and slides behind the corner again. Attack: 19 Damage: 6
Her arrow hits embedding in the chest of the creature but it doesn't go down.
V1 rushes forward its jaws snapping at Yuty but she ducks the attack as her shield blocks the slashing claws of the beast.
Ransyl makes his way to the corner of the corridor and hurls his spear at the middle raptor (V2). Attack 22 Damage 4 As soon as the spear is out of his hand, he reaches for and throws a dagger at the same raptor (action surge). Attack 6 Damage 4 ”So much for a peaceful negotiation!”
The spears strikes true but the dagger misses.
V2 also lunges forward biting and slashing at Yuty but her armor holds and both attacks miss.
Kirinar is up!
V1 and V2 are now directly in front of Yuty and Kirinar.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
This is what the young fighter had trained for - melee combat with fearsome opponents! As the creatures come running in, he sizes them up for a split second, watching how they move, how they attack. He is also impressed with how the kobold warrior handles herself, blocking both dinosaur attacks! He then counter-attacks the one creature with a spear in its scaly hide (V2), following through in a surge with a second quick strike!

Attack 1: 19 Damage: 6
Attack 2 (action surge): 16 Damage: 7
Kirinar smashes the injured dinosaur and it falls dead. Seeing he has killed the one he switches targets to the other velociraptor and swings at it, his weapons striking with a strong hit.
V3 immediately runs forward to attack Kirinar trying to bite and slash him but Kirinar is too quick and dodges the attacks.

Keyleth presses herself against the northern wall and takes a moment to close her eyes and inhale deeply, steadying her nerves and her hand, and ideally remaining unseen behind the wall. (Not sure if this is legit or not given positioning, but in case it works, Hide: 21)
She then steps out, crossbow at the ready, and tries to thread an arrow between Yuty and Kirinar to attack the velociraptor engaged with Kirinar [V3]. She then ducks back behind the wall.
Attack (ignore the advantage roll if either hiding is infeasible or the stealth roll fails): 11 Damage: 6

Ransyl, you can tell that she is being honest with you. You detect no deception.
Ransyl nods at Kirinar.
Then he puts his finger on the outside of his nose.

”Let’s try to broker peace with this group, but be ready for a fight. It doesn’t sound good.”
"Oh, wonderful," Keyleth says, sarcastically. "I was hoping we could do some more fighting before we headed back to town." She loads her crossbow.

Ransyl moves just inside the main corridor (2), and readies the spear he picked up earlier.
Kirinar starts to move forward to close the main gates but he is too late! 5 velociraptors burst through the gate and attack.
Initiative!
Faen (17/17), V1, Ransyl (23/23), V2, Kirinar (20/20), V3, Keyleth (15/15), Yuty, V4, V5
left to right V1-3 in front row, V4-5 in back row
Ransyl makes his way to the corner of the corridor (about 20 feet from the raptors) and hurls his spear at the middle raptor (V2).
Attack 8 Damage 3
As soon as the spear is out of his hand, he reaches for and throws a dagger at the same raptor (action surge).
Attack 22 Damage 6
”So much for a peaceful negotiation!”
“I don’t suppose this is going to go very peacefully,” Faen remarks but pulls her bow and, peeking around the corner, takes a shot at V3 and slides behind the corner again.
Attack: 19 Damage: 6
(Waiting for the Vs to go - as a reminder I'll 'protect' Yuti standing next to me if the dinos attack her. =)
