Caerwyn offers a hand to the wizard on the ground. "caerwyn Thingol's my name. I realize how it looks, but it wasn't what you thought it to be. If yoou don't know what a chaos beast is, it is a destructor of creatures. that si the best i can describe it without you seeing it. and that is what we were afraid would happen inside."
"Dyspeer wisely stayed clear of the Beast. I was not so wise and if not for a timely spell from good Uulark here I would not have survived. At least not in a cohesive state. "
"Unfortunately, that was the one and only time that I could do that particular parlor trick today, which is part of the reason that I wanted to retreat when I did. Well, that, plus we had about two dozen sets of eyes gazing at us from the darkness......spooky!"
When Uulark sees the half-orc's "toothy grin" he is immediately returned to the mental state he had when he saw all of the eyes in the dungeon. He shivers violently.
"Da**it Buurt! Don't DO that," he says with a wink and a smile.
Uulark is singularly impressed with Shaimon's ability to overlook the attack on his companion and his idea to recruit additional arcane might for the group's mission. "Say, that's a great idea, Shai!" And to the wizard, he says, "So, how about it? We're all concerned with the safety of this town, so why don't you help us deal with the real threat to peace around here?"
"All I remember is lots of eyes, I don't remember any color, particularly." OOC: About how high off the floor were the eyes, IG? Uulark will also give his best estimate of the number of critters involved.
As Uulark tries to remember the details of what he saw, a horrible ruckus erupts from the alleyway. The group turns their attention in that direction, and a horde of kobolds begins to spew forth from the alley on to the main street.
The majority of the kobolds have crude weapons, including spears and javelins. Most of the unarmed ones seem to be females or children, if it even matters as far as kobolds go.
"About that many," Shazi says from his perch above Talashia.
