For the past several days, you have been travelling a road that winds lazily across the rolling grasslands to the Greenfields. Sundown is approaching as you slide down a rise and ease into the town of Greenest. In a welcoming room in a fine inn, as you sink into your nightly activities, but you are disturbed by cries of panic and clattering footsteps of running people, before the gut-wrenching sound of gigantic beating wings. A thunderous roar suddenly shatters any sense of safety, a deafening cracking light sends several rooves alight in flames.
Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!

Much like the town, Green Apples inn had descended into chaos. The flames brighten all most of the rooms and hall; the next building is catching. Despite the panic, you all manage to grab your belongings and head out into the inn to find it eerily how it was left. As each of occupants of the other rooms appear one by one, your attention is suddenly snapped to the sound crashing and snarling coming from the floor below; a struggle!

A halfling covered in forest greens and browns emerges from a room at the top of the steps, with a full backpack and a shortbow slung over one shoulder, a belt with a scimitar and pouch buckled about his waist, and a short staff in one hand. Seeing the fires all around the inn, he immediately points the staff at any batches of flames no bigger than a campfire and speaks an arcane word to each one, trying to extinguish them one by one using a simple piece of magic learned by druids as part of their training to control the powerful forces of nature. (Casting druidcraft)

"Oh, this will not do, not do at all! I was counting on getting a good bath and having the smell of travel and campfires removed from my sleeping bag! Now EVERYTHING is going to smell like smoke!"

Madara would find a way to pin this whole mess onto him, he just knew. Adracos had barely set a foot into the inn, let alone met his contact, as the fires started to close in all around it. From what he could see through the murky window of his room, it looked like the whole town was on fire. The man, who couldn't have been older than thirty years, was about six feet tall, had a clean shaven skull and seven-day stubble. He wore a tightly fit black leather armour with two swords strapped to his back. He would have laughed if it wasn't life own on the line. Just a few days ago, he wasn't even aware of Greenest's existence but now it looked like he could very well die in this damned place. The sounds coming from above and below weren't encouraging either. He wouldn't even think about what creature could produce the roars coming from the outside. The noises below however indicated a fierce struggle taking place. 'Was someone attacking this town?', he asked himself. If so, he would have deemed it an outright symptomatical turn of events that fate had in store for him. As always a turn for the worse.

At least he hadn't unpacked yet and thus he stood in the hallway in mere seconds, watching as one by one the other guests began to storm out of their rooms. "What's going on here?", he exclaimed towards no one in particular, hoping somebody else knew more about the situation he found himself in.

Kano:

Clad in loose fitting robes tied by a sash all in shades of grey, a stunningly handsome half elf enters the hallway, his room aflame behind him.  Having arrived just last night relatively late and spoken to few, the striking figure carries no weapons, but his handwraps proclaim him to be some kind of martial artist.  "That has to be a dragon, and a big one by the sound of it," he speaks in a rich baritone--but with an edge of fear in it.  "Let's get out of here before we all burn," he counsels, suiting action to words and moving swiftly but carefully down the hall to the stairwell.  Peering down below, he tries to make sense of the scene before him.

The halfling is doing an impressive work, clearing the smaller flames and they sizzled to nothing. The fires in the inn itself have to yet to take a strong hold; he's made sure of that at least on the first floor on the inn.

Adracos would come out to see a capable looking halfling doing capable work of dealing with the small fires in the inn.

Moments later a half-elf who looks capable in a scrap appears giving the sounding advice that loudly ringing in everyone's minds...

Tengar

A 5 foot tall wood elf comes out of one of the rooms stretching and rotating his arms to work the leather of his earth toned brown and green armor to fit just right. Seeming pleased with the set of it, he turns and starts walking past people in the hall. His copper skin slightly reflecting some of the fire off of his freshly shaved and tattooed head. Strange Elvish designs adorn his his skull and lead to 3 marks that descend over his right eye lid to the cheek bone under. The marks look like a claw had left them behind. His emerald green eyes flecked with gold stay forward as he walks by every person, every person until he sees a half-orc. Lux's eyes immediately meets Tengar's, and he motions his head to the sounds of fighting from downstairs. The Wood Elf then turns to the sounds and heads to them, not a word, only the sound of two short swords being drawn, one after the other from their sheaths at his hips. The wood elf seems not to be phased by the fire and not surprised about a dragon. Lux carries a long bow that hangs next to his quiver which is in between his back and a pack. All of his equipment is fairly standard and none of it is unique in any way other than how well it has been taken care of. There is obvious use but there also obvious care.

Tengar nods and follows, adding “”I am Tengar.”

Adracos watched different figures emerge from their rooms one by one. A brief glance sufficed to tell that they weren't just some helpless travelers. Whatever happened here, it looked like they were caught in the same mess as he himself was. The noises booming from downstairs suggested that somebody was already fighting inside the inn and somehow he got the feeling that they wouldn't allow him to leave if he just asked nicely enough. "I don't know about you friends, but I think we will have some fighting on our hands rather soonish.", he said to the others standing around him. "I suggest a temporary alliance until we got the hell out of here." Both the fighting and the fires appeared to intensify and the young man knew that they wouldn't have much time to act. "My name is Adracos. Lovely to meet you guys in our final moments.", he quipped.

One of them, a half-elf, was already on his way downstairs. Adracos decided he liked that one and fell in right behind him, drawing both short swords from the scabbards on his back.

The three figures go downstairs to find the shocking scene of a small gang of kobolds closing in a young family; the innkeeper Linan (1), bearing a broken spear and shield to protect her hunched wife (2) and with their two children (3 & 4).

A couple kobolds jump at the arrival of newcomers, but they jabber to one another before turning back to the pinned family looking to finish them off!

Lux only:

((There is enough time for the others to join them, if they so wish)) 

Kano:

Scrambling down the stairs and taking in the situation quickly, Kano leaps into action to protect the innkeeper and her family! "Let's do this!" he calls briefly as he deftly weaves his way into the pocket between Kobolds 5, 6, and 9.  Springing into an impressive spinning kick, an astonishingly loud impact reverberates through the burning structure!

Initiative:  5

Acrobatics to impressively weave his way into position:  19

Performance to execute the martial arts maneuver:  19

"Circle Kick" Shockwave/DC 15 Constitution or Sonic Damage to all within 5 feet:  2

With the flames knocked down in the upstairs part of the Inn, the halfling makes his way down the stairs behind the other, bigger travelers. "Adracos - pleasure to meet you, in spite of the more urgent matters at hand. My name is Pimster Teace, and the stars have brought us together this day to do great deeds!" 

Once down in the main room, he takes in the scene quickly. Seeing the inkeeper and her family threatened by the band of kobolds, Pim yells to the little creatures in draconic, "হেই, ছোট্ট স্ক্যালি। চলে যাও অথবা আমি ড্রাগনের আগুন তোমার দিকে ঘুরিয়ে দেবো!" He then grabs a handful of flames from a burning table and holds it out for them to see. (Casting produce flame and will throw it at one of them if they continue to threaten the family or move to attack us.)

 Init: 22

Flame attack! 14 Fire Damage: 4 

 Lux engages without hesitation or warning on the first kobold. He walks forward  with short swords in either hand, setting his hands in a well practiced and honed routine crouching low stabbing high with the sword in his left, swaying to his back right and coming up using the momentum of his raise in elevation to dive the the sword in his up a his next target. Years of practice had made the weapons seem like extensions of himself and his movements seem like a graceful dance of death. All the whole Lux's jaw was set in determination and his gold flecked green eyes burned with a warrior's intensity. This is what he was born for, what he was raised for. The lives on the other side of the room meant everything to him at the moment, but he let himself live in the moment. "Stay focused on the task at hand. Slow is steady, steady is smooth, smooth is fast." the words of his human mentor Montolio Debrouchee. He was living those words at the moment.

Tengar - Initiative - 8

Taking in the scene before him, Tengar spots the beleaguered innkeep and family being accosted by the pretend dragons. His fury grows. When he makes the bottom of the stairs, he’ll seek out the closest kobold and clobber it with his mace.

Attack: 10 Damage: 7

Afterwards, if possible without getting opportunity attacked, Tengar will move to the civilians and try to shield them. 

Adracos Initiative: 15

Adracos came storming down the stairs alongside his new companions to behold an rather unsettling scene. A group of kobolds had surrounded the inkeep's family and was probably out to kill them. It looked like the kobolds didn't expect any more resistance coming from upstairs and thus were ill prepared for their sudden attack. The family could count itself lucky. If they hadn't arrived, the inkeep and the others would have been dead very soon.

Adracos knew though, that their own survival was far from certain and without wasting any time he rushed at the first kobold he had glimpsed (Kb). His intended target stood by the northern wall of the room and with short swords already drawn he directed to vicious blow in its direction.

Main-hand: Attack: 25 Damage: 10

Off-hand: Attack: 11 Damage: 4

With clearly well-practised attacks, Lux rids two kobolds with nothing that the sound of gargle or splatter of blood!

Pimster bounds into the scene and quick to see the need to get rid of the immediate danger. His slinging of flame gets rid of another of the kobolds numbers! 

Adracos is efficient in slicing down an unsuspecting kobold before it could even register the ambush coming from the interlopers from the stairs!

Kano's impressive sweep ripples through the remaining kobold! Blood leaking from his ears and nose as it slumps forward is a good sign it's not going to get back up.

==========

The two kobolds sees a defender of their treasure-keepers rise to the challenge! Together they rush in an ambush the half-orc with their daggers!
Ka - Melee Weapon Attack: 21 Damage: 6 (piercing)
K2 - Melee Weapon Attack: 14 Damage: 4 (piercing)
The first kobold (Ka) manages to find a gap in the half-orc's strong defences, while the other's dagger just meets shield...

Another kobold and slings towards the impressive moving human!
K4 - Ranged Weapon Attack: 17 Damage: 4 (bludgeoning)
The rock slams Kano in the shoulder and warm spreads down his chest.

Lux, you're up!

(On Pim's turn...)
The halfling grabs another handful of fire (produce flame) from the surrounding area and throws it at the back kobold (K4). "Well, that didn't go so well for you, did it? You lot never really listen..."

Attack: 8 Fire Damage: 8

The foul Kobolds dropped one by and and even tried to strike back. Lux Leaves the two dead ones on the ground. He bursts into movement, spinning around and past Kano, complementing his movements in such a way that the two seem almost practiced. The Wood Elf then does an aerial over the middle table landing him between the three Kobolds, his short swords flashing out to stab at two of the the things on either side of him now.

 20    FIRST ATTACK CRIT OF THE GAME!   20

The first kobold dropped quite easily and his companions looked like they were able to handle the rest well enough. Within seconds there were only two aggressors left. Adracos whirled around and moved deftly between the room's furnishings to attack one of them (K4) from the side. The young man now faced the inkeep's family and could see the frightened looks on the children's faces. He asked himself if they would survive this night. Greenest was under attack and many of its citizens would die tonight. "Don't you worry. We got this!", he said, probably more to himself than to anyone else.

His own survival would most likely depended on his ability to keep fighting until the attackers left the city again. The two swords in hand, Adracos began to swing at his new target (K4), hoping it would fall as easily as the first one.

Main-hand: Attack: 16 Damage: 6

Off-hand: Attack: 20 Damage: 2

Kano:

Fighting through the pain in his chest from the sling attack, Kano slides deftly to the side and onto a tabletop to get a clear line of sight to the last kobold.   Focusing his mystic Ki, he throws an Ice Shuriken at the foe, hoping to take down the last enemy so they could quickly be out of this burning building.

Frost Shuriken:  Attack: 12 Damage: 3
