This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kod considerably damages a cultist, while Place'-spider misses one twice.
Lyria runs up and blasts the damaged cultist with radiance 2 but he holds it together and manages somehow to stay alive.
The dragonclaw cultist moves up right between his two subordinates and slashes twice at Place'-spider. (pack tactics) Attack: 21 Damage: 5 Fanatical Advantage Damage: 8 Attack: 23 Damage: 6 This was a 20, adding damage changed it, 17 damage total. Place' is un-spidered as the more adept combatant slashes back and forth across his exoskeleton.
The kobolds are joined by the last straggler and all three attack Potato. Attack: 17 Damage: 4 Attack: 19 Damage: 5 Attack: 18 Damage: 6 One hits for 1 damage.
Hordkhen, Delirious, Kod and Potato are up.
Townsfolk: 16 being ushered toward safety. 125' away from tunnel entrance.
Hordkhen ends one of the kobolds hindering Potato's escape.
Round 10
Delirious turns toward the cultists that cut you off and fires an arrow at the leader, hitting him in the shoulder.
Kod roars with rage and charges ahead at the cultist but slips on a wet rock as he's swinging his axe. He misses, but this makes him even madder.
Potato kills the new arrival to the kobold party and awaits an opportunity to attack the last one standing.
The cultists are near bewildered at the spider reverting form to a humanoid but continue to attack. One changes his focus to Lyria. Vs Lyria: Attack: 7 Damage: 7 Vs Place': Attack: 8 Damage: 2 ... I guess they ARE bewildered.
Lyria and Place' are up.
Townsfolk: 16 being ushered toward safety. 125' away from tunnel entrance.
As Dragonclaw casually walks up to bypass these bewildered and inaffective cultists and strikes me down I in spider form curl up and roll onto my back then i emerge like from a cacoon Plåcĕ with briliant white armor shining (light cantrip i cast on it before i transformed) and step out of my husk
You should have kept me as a Spider...dodges the cultists attack just as ineffective... BEGONE!!!
Thunder wave con save of 13 for half dmg and to NOT be pushed back 13
X X X
X D C
X C Pl
regardless i would head back 15'ft even if it provokes AOO
Uh, word of radiance 5 . I either hook around counter clockwise far enough to avoid an AOO to hit big D and the lower left cultist, or I dive in to hit all three if there is space for it.
Lyria cautiously maneuvers around the cultist to blast him and the Dragonclaw with a Word of Radiance. CON Saves DC 13: 9 / 6 Neither of them resist the blast and the cultist underling is burned up in righteous flames.
Place' sees Lyria step into the area of effect that he was just about to hit with a Thunderwave, but since the cultist there died anyway, he angled the spell at the last second to miss the cleric and only hit the other cultist and the dragonclaw. CON Saves DC 13: 11 / 7 The wave visibly ripples the air as a BOOM echoes from your current location. The sonic attack blasts the two enemies back like rag dolls, and they land folded and broken in a way that wouldn't be possible without multiple broken bones. Their corpses pave your way forward to relative safety. Place' leads the townsfolk another 30' toward the tunnel entrance.
The remaining kobold witnesses his last few team members die and decides to disengage and run back into the bushes. Combat is over unless someone wants to take a blind shot at the fleeing kobold.
You're not out of the woods yet, however, as Place's Thunderwave spell seems to have garnered the attention of other nearby cultists. You hear battle cries of humanoids and other kobolds getting closer to your location from the North.
Townsfolk: 16 being ushered toward safety. 95' away from tunnel entrance.
I take a moment to inspect Dragonclaw for anything of use in my personal mission. I pick up my hand axe and then i hit the corpse with it then punch myself to keep rage up. And move with the villagers.
The cacophony of sounds getting closer to you abruptly ends as the giant blue dragon breaks through the clouds again and strafes the keep, sending about 6 archers off the wall to their deaths. It circles low around the top of the keep while arrows bounce off its hide, occasionally roaring loudly as a stray arrow probably pierces it. The rest of the town goes quiet with the exception of the crackling flames and the beating of the dragon's wings as it hovers from time to time, breathing lightning at the keep's rooftop. A rising chant echoes through the town from the voices of the cultists. "Lennithon. Lennithon. LENNITHON!" It seems the dragon is making a real assault instead of just harassing the keep as it has been previously.
Luckily, this seems to take the attention away from you, and you all make it inside the tunnel safely. Place' has time to drink his potion and Kod recovered his axe, but found nothing of substance on the dragonclaw besides the fact that his robes were slightly more well-kept and possibly made of better material. You conclude he was a lower rank, akin to a squad leader or something.
Does anyone want to accomplish anything else in the tunnel before getting to the keep basement?

-We are all just one failed saving throw away from someone else's fantasy...
Lyria we make a pretty good team i'm sure glad you're around
and Kod great work on the wall I imagine we would have ended up with half the lives we saved this day if it weren't for you, i'm not gonna lie i kinda thought you were going to lose your shit and get us killed hahaha
truly admirable work around
looks at potato
... way to uh.... take a punch big guy i assume it was about as easy to kill a fellow kobold as it was a cultist but it still isn't pleasant, luckily i don't run into too many of my kind not on my path.
after time to respond and talk and let other people talk
This is my first interaction, on this level, with any other species. Although I doubt any of you follow Ilmater, surely you do his work through your actions. I'm in no official business but it pleases me to be in the company of such brave, stalwart fellows. If we have a moment to rest, why have you all come here?
I narrow my eyes and the druid but say nothing. I inspect my weapon and notice a crack in the shaft. I shrug put it on my back and head towards the basement.
Hordkhen rinses some of the remaining color from his sword and checks his gear, "Definitely great work." , he echoes, warmly swatting Kod with the legs and arms of the unconscious cultist he was palming momentarily. "You too, pint. One nasty korinth-pilso berzerker. But If someone were to have got us killed it would've been this slow mess-" he nodded toward the cluster of townsfolk up the tunnel. He readjusts his gear and tosses the hog-tied cultist back over his shoulder, "We're after this piece of dragon-worshipping trash here..- How about you, deadeye, why aren't you a royal guard somwhere with an eye like that?" as he motions at Delirious.
