Hifu says "Sorry Nyx and James, I was distracted by what I found. You are right James, let's handle the task at hand first and then we can explore later. Nyx do you want to lead us again? Perhaps we should go south now." Hifu holds the torch up and looks in that direction, prepares to follow in the middle.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

”Yeah, yeah of course!“ Gilgin replies to James without looking back, as if he’s not really listening. He is too excited about gems, and checks the back wall of the cavern thoroughly.
Gilgin, the crystalline structure of the walls looks very promising. If you spend a few hours chipping away at it, you are sure you will find some gems.
Gilgin chuckles “We best come back, it looks like Dumathoin has left us a great bounty. Hifu, ye wanna feel like a real dwarf? Yer gonna have to show me your skills with that pick! Baha! Left eh, sounds like an underground lake or summat. He scratches hjs beard as he looks down the Tunnel
Hifu says to Gilgin “I’ll take you up on that after we have finished off the kobolds, you can show me how to use that pick properly to force that rock to give up the gems it is hiding.”

Hifu, as you follow some of the older kobold tracks, the tunnel opens up into a smaller cavern. An underground river flows through the far side of this cavern, which is supported by a natural stone pillar near the water’s edge. Between you and the river are two halfling-sized gray rodents with long tails and beady eyes. They jump to attack as soon as you notice them.
Initiativ short version: Unless i say something else, post your combat turn whenever you like and don‘t worry about initiativ order. Only keep it to 1 post/turn per round. I will highlight when a new round starts.
Long Version:I use a variation of group initiativ. I roll for PCs and NPCs and arrange them in order. PCs can freely exchange positions with each other and if you manage to post faster then i can keep up with the NPCs turns, then we simply roll with it. This is specially for PbP to reduce delays created by RL and timezones as much as possible. I also roll HPs and attack damage to reduce the value of meta information.

Round 1: The larger of the two rats jumps and attacks Hifu
Gilgin smiles at Hifus response as he goes down the tunnel out of sight. Hearing a scuffle Gilgin dashes around the corner to see a rat leaping at Hifu. He pushes in front of Nyx drawing his shield to protect the gnome
Hifu you swing your warhammer and with a sound crack hit the rats head, surprisingly it is still alive and hisses at you, but your kick slams it against the wall and the rat1 stops moving.

Kravek will be near enough to hear Hifu's call for help and repeats it for those a little further away. We are under attack! he shouts to the backline
He will then charge forward as far as he can pulling out his warhammer from his beltloop making his way to Hifu. Assuming he couldnt get to the other rat he will get in front of Hifu with his shield held forward forming a protective barrier. Keeping his eyes on the other rat he moves his head to the side slightly Are you alright? Kravek will hold his hammer drawn back to hit any rat that comes close.
Movement: to get slightly in front of Hifu Action: Hold action till a rat gets in range , Warhammer Attack: 18 Damage: 10
James looks back, like he is looking at someone, but there is no one there.
After a moment he nods and turns to his companions.
"I think maybe we should focus on what we came here for first, we can always search the mine before we leave."
"If we get distracted, with hostiles unaccounted for, we could get ourselves into trouble."

Red are the Kobold tracks, green are the rodents.

He will take the bottom route where Hifu is standing expecting to still be able to keep Gilgin in view on the ledge.

"Left again?"
James looks back to Gilgin,
"Come on Gilgin, we don't want to get separated, we can check the rocks out on the way back."

since you go south, left would be towards the sound of water, east tunnel. Correct?

Nyx doesn't see the first rat too well from around the corner, but the second one back there seems in plain sight:

Kravek you can get next to Rat2 and attack her immediately. Unfortunately your attack misses the rat.
