Calisto feels that it's the time to act.
"They won't serve weaklings like both of you!" Calisto send two wave of psychic energy that heavily hit the dragonborns.
"Get those two spawns!"
Willow moves into the room and eyes the cluster around the fallen J'ryi. "If you stand with them, you will fall with them," she says. She raises her staff high into the air. Slithergleam lifts his head and flicks his tongue toward the draognborn as the temperature suddenly drops. A strong wind picks up the cold and shoves one of the dragonborn away from J'ryi, making a tighter cluster of enemies for an area caster.
Fissure bows to the kobold beside him.
I have no quarrel with you. He slips aways as if flowing stone, finding himself beside one of the dragonborn. He strikes out again and again, one of them hitting solidly. At the same time, his skin hardens.
Seeing his sides dragonborn under dire attacks, Nejs charges forward, hitting the enemy dragonborn with a radiant stab from his spear. Further actions are less successful.
Ghorgor hustles toward the trio of dragonborns and the psionic powers of his 'powerful mind' insinuate themselves in the hostile pair.
-''Oooh! We having fun here! You try Ghorgor now!''
J'ryi lies on the ground, having been knocked out - yet again - by a projectile to the face. An unfortunate amount of blood pours from his muzzle, torn open by a shattered jawbone.
The dragonborn jump, tumble and spin around the heroes, slashing, stabbing and breathing fire. Fissure is burned by the flames, but Ghorgor is unscathed, while J'yri is stabbed again, but he still stubbornly clings to life.
The slingers hurl more stones, two hitting Fissure, but his toughened hide blocks the worst of it.
[sblock=Skill Challenge]
The kobolds appear unsure of how to act when faced with the party's sudden arrival. Caught between desires for freedom and fear of the dragon's underlings, the kobold's loyalty is torn.
