Karib is clearly torn. "My instinct says storagekeep but I can see reasons for the temple. We may only get to save one of them..."

"I prefer to trust my instinct, but if anyone here knows this town and tells me that more people will have fled to the temple, then we should go there. Both are likely strongholds, each in their own way."

He looks at the temple before turning to face the storagekeep, trying to discern signs of life or activity. He looks uneasy, frustrated -- angry even -- like someone who wants to act but is reluctant to release the pent up energy in the wrong cause. Then he starts to breath more deeply and recite some ritual phrases and a serenity comes over him. Eventually he smiles again, turning to Kano. "You are a local, yes? I will follow your lead."

Then he smiles more broadly, "Perhaps you should try to be less reckless next time."

"People could be in the temple. What good are supplies if there is no one left to give them too," Kuga says, adjusting her axe. Hearing the roar, part of her can't but hope for a chance at this dragon. It would be a mighty foe, but the people had to come first. She nods to herself in a silent conclusion of her thoughts. "I will follow whatever is decided, but my voice is for saving people not things."

She joins Tengar in searching for tracks, using her wanderer background to remember the general layout of the town to find choke points and what might be the more common paths the cultist would use and help the party avoid them. 

Kano:

Smiling at Karib, Kano simply says, "This is how I learned to fight--at the fore if needed, or from a distance with shuriken otherwise.  I will try to stay as safe as I may in the upcoming trials."

"Both paths hold promise and peril.  I suggest we head east and use the cover of the trees to approach the temple.  If we find people trapped, we can lead them back to this tunnel," counsels Kano, moving to the treeline stealthily.

Stealth:  14

"I come here to ensure the safety and survival of these people," says Ka'Burra, also looking rather torn between the two options. More people were likely taking shelter at the temple than the storagekeep, but that also means the storagekeep would be left more unguarded than the rest. "I have ways of trickery and guile that I have mainly used as a means of escape. Perhaps, they can be used now."

Ka'Burra will leap into the air and do a quick gathering of the surroundings, peering at the trees and areas near them from above. Perception: 14

Tengar

”Ah, good then. It looks the temple is our destination.”

[@Kuga - do you want me to roll survival again since you’re helping, or do you want to?]

((You can do it again. Dice rollers hate me))

[lol]
Tengar

Survival - 12 

As the party rounds the corner of a building on the way to the temple, a lone dog hiding under the porch raises its head and sniffs at the group, trying to decide if it should bark at them or not. Pimster smiles at the animal, glad that it had not been harmed by the fighting. He holds out a small piece of jerky to the animal, speaking calmly in a friendly voice. "Hello, pup! Are you guarding your house? I bet you are - you're a good girl! Here, I have a treat for you. Would you like a treat?" (Animal Handling: 20)

"That's a good girl. You stay safe under there - and bark if anything comes along after us, ok?"

Not wanting to interfere with the tracking efforts, Karib falls to the back of the group, keeping a wary eye behind them.

Heading east towards the Temple, the team follow the tracks spotted by the half-orcs, following Kano's guide to the treeline to not be in plain sight and Ka'burra takes advantage of an aerial view.

But this all is blown apart as a small gang of kobolds come bursting out the doors and windows of a house just as the heroes are advancing, their arms full of mundane crockery as if they made of gold! The kobolds spot the group with snarls and hisses; dropping their loot as they go for their weapons...

Just as you're about to do the same, the dog Pimster spotted taking shelter barks firmly towards the roof - covered in a dusting of moonlight, large lizards are spotted prowling towards you all. Exposed the creatures swiftly jump of and go take the attack head on!

Feel free to post your actions!

 edit : to be clear i mean the NW drake

Tengar

Snarling a curse for not seeing the drakes, Tengar grins at the lizards, feeling the weight of the beheaded drake's head knocking comfortingly against his torso.  "These ones are a bit nasty," Tengar yells to the others, "Beware!" Tengar growls to his companions behind him. He moves to his left towards the house/structure, to put a bit of room between himself and Dy.   Keeping eyes on Dx, the half-orc's hand clenches and makes an overhand smash against the creature (Dx).

Attack: 14 Damage: 5  

Kugu grunts with pain as the collar bone. With a roar, she will rage and moves to attack Dy (But ensuring she doesn't get in the way of Karib's spell) with her great axe. 

Attack: 10  Damage: 13 +2 rage

Burra had seen Kobolds before, and nasty little creatures they are. Seeing the volley approach, he will immediately leap to the air, avoiding the stones flung from the slings, and take a shot at D(x) mid-flight with his crossbow!

Action: Crossbow Shot - to hit: 9 dealing 7 piercing damage.
Movement: Burra will fly up and duck behind the Northern part of the roof of the house.

Kano:

Reeling from the kobold’s sling stone, Kano moves to his right to use the fence as cover from the nasty little creatures.  Aiming carefully, he throws a Fire Shuriken at the nearest Drake (Dy).

Fire Shuriken:  Attack: 10 Damage: 7

The druid speaks an arcane word, and a small ball of flame appears in his hand. With a flick of the wrist, he sends it hurtling towards one of the drakes (Dy) before moving to the south, keeping a big person between himself and the creatures! Attack: 8 Fire Damage: 1

Kugu advances, the rage fueling swipes, but the drake (Dy) nimbly ducks quicker than its body suggests it could!

A small burst of of flame underneath the drake (Dx) from Karib's spell!
Dx - Dexterity Saving Throw (DC: 14): 7
The flames catch the creature's leg as it lets out a hissing cry!

With heavy snarls, the drakes attack on the half orcs!

Dx to Kugu: Weapon melee Attack: 23 Damage: 4 (piercing) 
Dy to Tengar: Weapon melee Attack: 23 Damage: 4 (piercing)
The drakes bite with impressive speeds, but the half-orcs were not new to savage attacks and defended.

Pimster conjures his spells and slings with ease, the target isn't to easy to hit amidst the chaos and the fire slams into the ground!

After words of warning to his comrades, Tengar mace catches the jaw for a solid hit. The creatures blinks off any sign of pain and continues to snarl!

Kano's spell is sent spinning through the air, only slamming into the ground before the kobolds!

Burra take off and attack is skillfully done. But the drake notices just in time and bends its torso out the of the way of the bolt!

The kobolds look to each other before spreading out and sending slings to different members of the group!

K6 to Karib - Ranged Weapon Attack: 23 Damage: 4 (bludgeoning)
The pebble smashes a plant pot near Karib's feet!

Tengar

Finding himself in a bit of a tricky situation, Tengar notices his allies converging on Dx and decides to keep attacking the drake.   With a grunt, the half-orc mumbles an arcane phrase and points at Dx.  The sound of gnashing teeth fill the air around the drake.   Dx needs to make a Wisdom save (DC 13) or take 4 damage.

Karib glares at the Kobolds, but is more concerned about the Drake after Tengar's comment. He attacks the Drake in the fire with his staff.

Damage from bonfire last round: 7

Attack: 17 Damage: 6

Damage from Bonfire this round (Dx save 14): 2

Heartened, Karib calls out angrily, "Face the fire and fury of Gond!"

It may be the light from the fire, but his normally friendly and placid face has become mottled and red with anger.

Seeing the Kobolds pummel the combatants of the Drakes, Burra will launch himself off the roof of the tower, hovering right in the center of where the Kobolds are, suddenly being enveloped in a shimmering field of golden energy. Kobolds were cowardly beings, and they were weaker when they had to take on foes individually. "Hey, you!" he says, before taking a shot at K6. 

Movement: hover about 10 feet off the ground, right in the center of the rough square the Kobolds are making.
Action: Crossbow shot at K6 - to hit: 24 dealing 9 damage.
Bonus Action: Shield of Faith - AC becomes 19.
