At the moment, the figures are just running. The five shorter figures are surrounding the bigger one. 

(OOC: At this point, how close are the figures from our group?)

At this point, they are several feet away and closing fast. As they get closer, you can see that the smaller figures have tails. 

If any of the approaching figures are going to come close to Eryn's place of hiding, he will move further away so that they don't come close enough to affect his ability to fire an arrow (i.e., cause him to shoot at Disadvantage).

However, if he doesn't have to move, he will prepare to fire (i.e., Hold an Action) and shoot at any of the figures if they attack any of his companions.

Seeing a small group running away from the explosion towards them, Aeros, who's hearing and other senses having finally returned to him yells out "Hey!  Know what happened back there?!"

(Is he yelling at the running figures?)

(Yea.  Since I had Aeros miss them coming out of the hole, he just assumes that they're normal people who were near the blast and is trying to see if they know anything)

The taller figure ignores you, attempting to push past the group. The smaller figures, however, hiss and growl, pulling out short swords and hand crossbows. "No witnesses," they shout, echoing through the five of them as they turn on the group. Two of them turn on Aeros, who spoke to them; the other three converge on the rest of the party. 

Eryn can fire his held shot. 

Everyone please roll initiative. 

kobold underling: 13 

Based on the above, I presume Eryn's held shot is at one of those approaching Aeros.

Roll to hit: 20 ; Damage if successful: 9

Eryn's Initiative Roll: 12

Eryn releases his shot and one of the small figures menacing Aeros drops, an arrow sticking through its eye socket. 

The enthusiasm that she'd had about the prospect of sharing a drink with new companions doesn't just drain, it practically evaporates every part of her as the explosion rings out.  Blood pumping, she focuses on trying to calm herself down momentarily -- clear her thoughts and her focus, before catching sight of what her fellow travelers have seen. A large gaping hole in the side of a mountain that certainly, had not been there a moment or two ago; and six figures headed straight for them. 

She remains unusually quiet as the attackers begin to shout, and begin to make inroads in their direction; her eyes widening. 

(Initiative: 20 )

Initiative: 12

Aeros looks on as the taller figure streaks past him.  As he's about to call out to them, he hears the kobolds' cry and before he's even able to draw his weapons, one of the enemies is bearing down on him!  Bracing himself for the attack, he sees a streak fly through the air and a moment later Aeros sees the Kobold fall to the ground, an arrow sticking out of the creatures head.  With another kobold charging towards him, Aeros draws his swords, one golden and seemingly and extension of his arm in his left hand and a more typical sword in his right, and prepares to face creature head-on, a determined look in his eyes.

"No Witnesses."  Haunting.  These victims then are the ones who caused the explosion?  So be it.  

"Try to take one alive!"  Keaton flips the symbol of three eyes he has around his wrist into his hand.

Initiative 4

Also to save time because I have a weird schedule, on my turn, I'll use Bless on Aeros, Menodora, and Eryn.

Initiative 5

'This escalated rather quickly.', Arthasis thought irritated. He didn't know why the creatures were attacking him. He certainly wouldn't have interfered with whatever they were doing. Those creatures and their designs were nothing to him, as long as they didn't endanger him. But now they did just that. They were coming for him and the others who had traveled the streets with him.

On his turn Arthasis would attack the enemy who posed the greatest danger to him with an Eldritch Blast. Attack: 24 Dmg: 2

Initiative order: 

Menodora - 21

Kobolds - 13

Aeros - 12

Eryn - 10

Arthasis - 8

Keaton - 4

Menodora is up first. The kobolds are about to attack the party, what do you do? 

(Probably won't respond after this until after we get power back - we are most definitely going to lose it in a few hours, most likely)

[OOC: Assuming we can talk out of turn. If the DM says 'no', then ignore.]

Eryn yells, "Don't let the tall one get away." 

Menodora follows Eryn's lead, and turns in the direction of the escaping tall figure. In the process of this, she removes her Decanter of Endless Water from her hip. It sloshes in her grip and is full of fresh water; normally merely used to stay hydrated.

She'll remove the stopper and mutter, "Geyser."

(For her bonus action) She is then going to aim the stream of water emitted at the tall one to attempt to prevent him from escaping. 

[OOC: Cool move, and definitely unexpected by Eryn at least.]

Saving throw for the large figure - 13

The larger figure takes the geyser of water right in the middle of their back and is thrown forward, but manages to keep their feet and shake off the effects. They keep running. 

(ooc: Talking out of turn is fine~)

Aeros is up

Eryn on deck. 

Aeros faces the remaining target charging towards him and wanting to discover why they're being attacked, attempts to knock it unconsious by striking it using the flat of his blades. 

Attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 7

Offhand Bonus Attack: Attack: 24 Damage: 2
