The kobold furthest in the back, dressed in hide armor, raises his spear into the air and says,
"We do strong by Laddon! Just like the serpent, we guard home and tear intruders apart!" The other kobolds cheer in unison and then dash into combat.
[sblock=Religion 18]Laddon is a somewhat obscure mythological dragon that is worshipped by some kobolds and lizardfolk. He was known for making his lair in a garden where the trees bore golden fruit. In Laddon's most well-known story, a famous human hero journeyed to the garden, confronted the dragon, and slew him after a fierce battle. However, the kobolds generally tell the story with a different ending that has Laddon devouring the evil thief.[/sblock]
As the kobolds with shields move into position, the kobold who preached about Laddon points his free hand at Lenyara. A ball of crackling necrotic energy forms at his fingertips and flies toward the ranger, but she twists aside just in time to dodge it.
One of the shield-bearing kobolds slips past Lenyara and charges screaming toward Ashurn. However, he seems to focus too much of his energy into the battlecry, as his shortsword goes completely wide of Ashurn. It slashes against the wall and generates a trail of sparks.
The other two kobolds with shields, one bearing a mace and the other a mining pick, take swings at Lenyara. Again, she evades the attacks without much difficulty. Next up are two female kobolds dressed in leather and both dual-wielding short swords. They advance on Lenyara and make several attacks from flanking positions. Lenyara does her best to parry the blows, but one of the strikes finally gets past her defenses and wounds her with a shallow cut.
