Karib watches the orc for a while, then remembers his words back in the keep, "So, Tengar, tell me of this Queen with whom you speak. You have mentioned her a few times."

Kano:

"I don't want to waste too much time and let the other group get ahead of us, especially if the cultists are not particularly on their guard," responds Kano, "but I am not experienced in assaulting groups of cultists, so I will follow your lead, Tengar."

Pimster will return to the party and report what he saw. "I recommend we take care of the group rather than leave them behind us to attack later when we don't need them to! They seem rather lazy, with the humans ordering a bunch of kobolds around while they just sit around. The kobolds may even appreciate being freed of them..."

Burra descends from above, still deciding on if he should be offended by the cultist's choice of meal or not. "They do not appear to be expecting an assault. If we act with haste, we may be able to capture one and extract more information from them." He then cuts a glance to the more resolute members of the party, uncomfortably shrugging his shoulders. Interrogation in such times likely meant torture, and that was something Burra wanted to avoid, but he recognizes information may be too valuable to give up at this point. 

Karib nods at Kano's words, then looks to Tengar, "Four humans and eight kobolds, we would need a plan" he says. "We don't want any escaping...", then he emits a short bark of laughter. "...and us not dying is also good."

Tengar would notice the ravens make various chirps, clicks and murmurs seemingly at each other before landing and helping themselves to the pieces of rations offered.

Tengar

The birds brings a toothy smile to the half-orc's face.  A good omen! he thinks to himself.
He listens intently to the scouts and adds.  "Well it seems like they've become lazy.  Perhaps our scouts can drop in on where their weapons are while we make a frontal assault?"  He chews his lip a bit before asking, "Any sign of the captive?  Part of me worries if it is a trap as well..."

He'll straighten up and put a few more crumbs on his shoulder and make some short chirping and clicking sounds to see if the birds come to him...

Animal Handling:
Tengar - 17

After a call or two, the ravens comes very close. One remains on the floor, while the other lands on the half-orc's shoulder. Immediately, Tengar recognises this one to be an older female raven. After taking a few bites to eat she remains...

"An attack from two sides - like wolves hunting their prey. Yes, this is a wise plan. Let us attack before darkness, though, for the kobolds can see better in the darkness..." Pim leads the group back to the enemy encampment, having them split well beyond earshot to envelop the cultists and kobolds...

Kano:

"Sounds reasonable.  If we have a stealthy group approach first, perhaps their prisoner will become apparent if she is with them, although this may just be a rear guard," agrees Kano with Pim.  "Let's split up and get moving before the light gets too low, as you say," he adds, appearing anxious to take out more of the cultists who mercilessly attacked the town the previous night.

Burra fretfully chirps an agreement, suggesting the more stealthy members of the party circle around to ambush the camping cultists. The Traveler demanded for him to utilize conflict and chaos to work the threads of good into the world, but his duties were primarily healing and weaving those in danger to somewhere safe rather than a more direct approach. Combat was still a new experience for the easily shaken Burra, and despite his agility, it was his first time truly executing a planned ambush. The grip on his golden staff tightens as he prepares for combat!

Opting to take a more stealthy approach on the ground alongside Pim, Burra's prayer to the Traveler remains active, muting the sound of his awkward footfalls - flying was obviously easier for Burra's form, but a flying target is much more easier to see. Stealth (Blessing of the Trickster + Guidance)! 26

 Karib listens to the plans and nods, "Just tell me what to do. I can bring the blessings of Gond, but in the circumstances, lighting them all up with a firefly glow might be useful."

Quote from Ereshion >>

Karib watches the orc for a while, then remembers his words back in the keep, "So, Tengar, tell me of this Queen with whom you speak. You have mentioned her a few times."

Tengar

Tengar turns and smiles widely at the human, sharp teeth gleaming happily in the rays of sunshine.  Nodding, he says "I will tell you of her, human.  Perhaps now is not the time, for it seems we must create something new for her, eh?"  Tengar gestures ahead to the cultists and kobolds ahead.  

Looking to Kano, "I can create some rain that might give us a bit of an edge sneaking up on them, having the added benefit of dousing the fires.  Maybe it's good for your lightning, eh?  Hehe, ware all, they will be disoriented and slippery and...probably smelly - at least the dog-like ones!  The sounds of battle will reach the other group so this needs to be fast!"

If there are no objections, Tengar stays with the less stealthy group and takes out his water and drops some on his hands.  Snaking his hand into the air, he whispers a few syllables in a harsh language and the area where the kobolds and humans are gathered, it begins to rain.  Heavier and heavier until the full amount crashes down on the group.  (Casting Create or destroy water
Tengar then hefts a javelin and will move into range to throw...

Edit*Tengar nods approvingly at Karib’s suggestion of the firefly thing. “It will also light up their weapons, eh?”

Pimster prays to the gods of the forest and plains to cover his steps and scent, then rubs some tree sap over his arms, legs, and face. He then proceeds to sneak back around to the campsite. (Stealth + Guidance: 17)

When the rain starts to get heavier, he nods to Burra and turns his attention to the cultists and kobolds. Kneeling down, Pimster touches the ground and begins reciting an incantation, calling on the spirits of the trees and grasses and vines to send their roots out in a sudden surge, grasping all in the 20' square area of the encampment! (Casting Entangle. DC14 Str save or be restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.)

"Surrender now or be dragged down into the ground forever!" He shouts out, partly to affect the enemies' morale and partly to let his party know that the attack is on!

OOC: Perfect start to combat, especially if they aren't near their weapons and can't get to them because they are entangled!

Some OOC info needed before we start initiave:-

Where's Pimster casting the spell? (Excellent use of the spell, might I add - Inspiration for you!)
Where's Burra and Pim hiding?
How far away is the rest of the gang?

Karib is very aware of his lack of stealth, and would wait as far back as he thought necessary, perhaps after taking advice from his more stealthy companions.

(( If he's within 60'-90' that would be nice, but that seems *very* close to me, in terms of risk of being observed, though Tengar's rain storm may have reduced the risks ))

Kano:

Staying back with Karib, Kano prepares to attack once the signal is given.

(If the party is currently within 30' of Burra, he will cast Bless on the more weapons-focused members of the party. If they are far away, Burra will instead forgo his staff and ready a crossbow shot against any cultist that appears to have escaped the Entangle.)

Seeing Pimstar's druidic spell and Tengar's more tempestuous one assail the cultists, Burra swiftly circles around near the weaponry the cultists left unguarded. He mutters a quick phrase to the traveler, thumping his staff on the ground. Three bolts of golden energy race through the field in the form of spectral owls, throwing themselves through and into Tengar, Karib, and Pimstar. 

Attack: 24 Damage: 7

Pimster gets close enough to see into the camp, but far enough away to avoid detection (90' spell range...), then causes the ground around the majorit of the group to sprout vines and roots that grasp all but the one kobold in the south-west corner of the camp. (a 20' square from C5 west to Cx; south to k6/k8; east 20', then north to C5. This square catches all but one kobold (K5)!)
