Plant-Kobolds! (Round 1)
OOC: I took some liberties with this round to keep things moving.
Leaving his position of cover as planned, Krixle starts to rush forward. Zaryz hisses out a quiet curse as the plant-kobolds come around the corner. "Hold one second, Krixle!" he says. The overeager kobold remembers his fell encounter with the darkmantles and delays his charge.
The dragon kobold focuses his mind on the flames of the Bloodscale Clan's forges, and channels that heat into a fiery bolt at the two plant-kobolds, pointing at them with one armored finger. The air hums with power as Zaryz generates the momentary blast of heat and flames. Zaryz's mind was starting to feel weary, though, and he knew he couldn't produce much more than one more bolt like that before resting.
The psychic flames char the two plant monsters into barely recognizable blackened lumps! Then, the corridor echoes with what sounds like snapping twigs and rustling leaves.
As the smoke rises and swirls, three more of the creatures rush around the corner, weapons at the ready. Krixle renews his rush and swipes viciously at the nearest plant kobold. Not even checking to see if the attack lands, he moves quickly back into a more defensive posture, hopefully in time to avoid the counterattack.
Krixle's attack strikes true, but the wound doesn't prove as mortal as it should have, perhaps due to the creature's strange anatomy. Aurix advances, and with the whispering of a couple of words and aiming his hands toward the plant creatures, shoots a line of fire at each. Aurix curses loudly as the gouts of flame sail past the plant monsters, scorching the wall behind them. Daragix is more cautious than Krixle, so he wil only take a few steps forward and to the side, trying to block the passageway and make sure no enemies get past him to attack Aurix.
