"Agreed." replies Darath to Sassamona's desired course of action. He then proposes, "After we take care of them, shall we head to the keep and see where they need aid the most?"
At first he tries to make his way to home the kobolds entered without being seen, sticking towards walls and hoping his skin blends into the smokey grey. But between the clinking of his armor and the adrenaline coursing through his veins he decides to drop all pretense as he starts to run at full speed, instead starting a warcry in the hopes of terrifying the vandals. He cries out in Giant, "Glory in battle! Death to the opposition!"
"Sounds like a plan." Following Darath out the door, Barnabas hangs back for a few moments, looking towards the burning home to the right as he tries to pick up any sights or sounds of life inside.
Jaime blinks in surprise as the goliath charges across the town square, loosing some war cry in a language he doesn't even understand. "That's one way to do it I suppose..." He hefts his spear and follows after Darath, ready for another fight if needed.
Barnabas tries to get a good look inside the burning home, and doesn't see anything to indicate someone living might be in there. With how far along the blaze is anyway, it'd be unlikely anyone could be alive. His intention to be stealthy is made useless by Darath loping across the town square with a battle cry.
Within the home, the goliath fighter sees 7 kobolds, cornering a man, woman, and two children. As he reaches the threshold of the door, most of the kobolds turn to face him. The rest of your party is not far behind.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
'I don't know what Darath shouted, but it sounded awesome,' thinks Sassamona as she runs across the square. When she sees the kobolds, she gets ready to charge straight at them.
Barnabas's heart raced when he saw Darath charging at a kobold and rushed closer as well. He knew he had only moments to act if he wanted to win their bet, which of course he did. A grin spread across his face as he quickly muttered a prayer to Tymora, calling upon the Lady of Luck to guide his hand.
"Not so fast!" Barnabas shouted with a playful challenge, extending his hand toward the nearest kobold. A shimmering bolt of radiant energy crackled into existence, swirling with golden light. With a swift motion, Barnabas hurled the Guiding Bolt at the creature. The beam streaked through the air, illuminating the darkened village with its radiant glow.
Darath makes an attack of his as Barnabas looses his spell. Taking his trident in hand he aims at the nearest kobold.
Action: Attack @ Nearest Kobold To-Hit: 11+6 = 17 Damage: 1+4+2 = 7 piercing //this is assuming the kobold in front of him is down from the guiding bolt. Otherwise 5 piercing at the kobold in front of him as he'd not have the +2 thrown bonus.
With the might of his throw taking down another kobold he charges over to his trident and picks it up. "Best two out of three?" he asks Barnabas with a wink.
Movement: Towards Trident Item Interaction: Pick up trident.
To the kobolds he bangs his trident upon his shield and lets out a growl.
One kobold disintegrates in a radiant flash as Barnabas' hits it, a moment later another is slain as Darath's trident impales its small torso. As the goliath steps the home to pick up his trident, three of the kobolds rush forward with daggers bared!
Dagger Attack (Darath) -> 9 to hit Dagger Attack (Darath) -> 24(crit) to hit, 6 damage Dagger Attack (Darath) -> 24(crit) to hit, 6 damage
The first attack doesn't get past the fighter's defenses...But it distracts him enough for the other two kobolds to sink their daggers into vital areas!
Jaime darts into the building after Darath, quickly stabbing forward with his spear before spinning it around in his hand to strike again with the iron-tipped blunt end.
From the back of the pack, Sassamona follows Jaime and Darath inside, taking the opposite direction of Jaime. She leads with a jab of her quarterstaff and follows up with a front kick at a kobold.
OOC:
Action: Attack with quarterstaff --> 13 to hit for 11 bludgeoning damage Bonus Action: Martial Arts attack --> 11 to hit for 6
In quick succession three more kobolds go down as Jaime and Sassamona rip through them. The two left scream insults in draconic and charge forward, attacking them(unsuccessfully) with daggers.
Barnabas heads into the building after the others, chuckling when he sees the number of kobolds there. "With how this is going, it might be easier to compare totals at the end. But whatever you prefer." He casts Toll the Dead on one of the remaining kobolds.
[[ Two crits in a row; ouch! Probably should've thought about their pack tactics. Oh well. He's in the thick of it now! ]]
"Sounds like a plan." grunts Darath through the jabs of the kobolds' daggers to Barnabas. He steels himself for further combat and strikes out at the nearest kobold.
"Agreed." replies Darath to Sassamona's desired course of action. He then proposes, "After we take care of them, shall we head to the keep and see where they need aid the most?"

One of the kobolds begins to bleed from the ears as a solemn bell tolls from nowhere. It's barely left standing, swaying back and forth on its feet.
Darath runs through another of the kobolds...In less than a minute, your makeshift party has cut down their numbers from 7 to just 1!
Initiative: Jaime - Sassamona

Sassamona chases down the final kobold. She swings her quarterstaff in a downward arc at the kobold's head.
If the house becomes safe for the moment, she would ask the family cowering inside, "You okay?"
