Cora raised her eyebrows in mild surprise, gave Starling a sly look, ”Yeah, maybe..wanna find out where?” she said suggestively to the elf.

She got ready for another battle. Easy slim pickins. I say we fight.

Ratha pulls out two handaxes "I'm ready for a fight if we need to"

Quote from Cherri >>

“Betcha would want that tongue wiggling somewhere else.” Starling deadpanned, paying more attention to the kobolds. She raised her hand with four fingers, indicating that there were four creatures. “I think we can sneak past these guys,” She says, putting on a more serious face. “But it’s up to everyone else.”

((Ooc: sneaky snakes anyone? I’m good with murder too!))

"Letting them live would only put the lives of other innocent people at risk of further harm. I cannot allow that." Kaneda stated as he readied his spear.

"Get ready, I'll make the first shot. When they come at me take them out." He said as he moved passed the others, he then revealed himself, letting out a loud primal roar. He then readied his javelin, taking aim at the big guy, then released it with a mighty throw. He then drew his axe and prepared for battle.

Attack: 18 Damage: 3

(How far were we, I'd like to move up a bit before the throw if I'm able)

With the spear throw, Cora’s heart began pumping faster, the thrill of combat again roaring in her veins, anxious to be released in the form of death. She stood ready to fight.

Zust sheathes his rapier and instead readies his shortboe, aiming it at one of the kobolds when Kaneda moves to throw his javelin. jave he thinks he had a shot he lets the arrow fly.

(If he can attack then here is it is)

Shortbow: Attack: 9 Damage: 9

Starling shoots an arrow right after Zust.

Attack: 11 Damage: 10

Initiative: 14

Now that the parents both seem in good shape, Crow will move quietly up to the others, "I think the 8 of us can take this small group, and we can provide a distraction while the family gets past. I can start the festivities by calling fire down on one of the creatures. They won't know where it came from. Should I start with the big one or one of the kobolds? If we do it right, this can be over before they realize where we are coming from." Crow will begin mentally preparing to cast Sacred Flame.

[OOC: Dang I keep refreshing the wrong page and missing stuff, sorry.]

Seeing everyone shoot as he begins talking, Crow will raise his hand above his head, palm up in honor of his God, then pulling down into a fist, he will say reverently, "Luz de Cielo."  Calling the sacred flame down on the beast around the corner. 4

Initiative: 4

"Why, thank you, Starling. Indeed, my tongue is blessed with many gifts, from speaking to singing, and most assuredly, certain intimate and affectionate tasks that inspire a delightful wriggling on the part of the recipient. Perhaps one or both of you possess the valor and devotion with which to win my heart, but it's clear the trials of slaughter have coarsened your manners. Does beauty lurk within you, or is it but an outer shell? We shall see."

Strife joins her companions' volley by shooting an arrow from her short bow.

Initiative (+2): 6

Attack (+4): 14

Damage (1d6+2): 8

“Indeed, we shall.” was all Cora said to Strife as the ranged attackers picked off the kobolds. There was much she needed to know about Cora, but there was also much she wanted to know about Starling and the Tiefling.

Cora wondered if both could handle it.

Shaa curses under his breath and let's the spell he had readied fizzle. 

Then gathering more power to himself he casts true strike. To the others he urges for speed. 

”Save some kills for me, Hells..” Cora says half joking, ready to leap out and attack, but realised the ranged probably had it this time.

WATERDEEP, FAERUN - MANY YEARS AGO

Her mother unconscious, her father brought down his club in his drunken rage upon a frightened child named Cora Perkins, who was barely 9. Her arm broke and she screamed in terror and pain. She wanted to run and hide like she normally did when her father was in a foul mood, but she tripped and fell, and he caught up to her. But today, someone more evil than her Father took notice, something down below where horrible things lived, when awful things planned and schemed. They waited for the day to reveal themselves. There will be a time when Cora will need US, and then she will be our tool. 

PLEGETHOS, HELL - MANY YEARS FROM NOW

The Deal will last over two thousand years. Your hate and anger will be useful and power your new abilities. We have watched you for most of your life. Your old existence now matters not. You will be repurposed to now service us. All you will feel is anger and hate as you slaughter our enemies and further advance our agenda. There will be no love or warmth in your life. To do so will risk The Deal. You are our instrument of death and destruction. Come, proceed on your way to greatness. 

TODAY - SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN

Cora gripped her blades tight, waiting for an opportunity to stop thinking about her Father and the deal she made with Hell and it's Masters. She squeezed hard, her arm muscles threatening to rip right out of her leather armor and coat at the strain. She closed her eyes for a moment and with focus she learned centuries ago, maintained control and watched as her group laid waste to the kobolds.
