Luthal gives a small wave to Zook, motioning that he can't see anything.

Zook se the movement of Luthal looking at him, he lift his finger to his lips, and point up where he saw the glimt of glasses. Zook looks that Luthal understands, and he signal with his hands that he will move a bit to the left and move as silent possible uphill, searching his path for traps.

move silent +9
hide +9
search +8
sense trap +1
 

Luthal nods his understanding and begins to move slowly, taking the right flank. He is cautiously keeping his eyes on the bush Zook pointed out. He carefully draws his axes...
 

Zook and Luthal both begin circling the bush from the left and right where the changeling saw the flash of eyes... Zook holding his shortbow, Luthal with his axes. As they move, suddenly Luthal sees a dart of movement to HIS right, and as he spins he sees a pair of kobolds leap up from behind where they were hiding and train their shortbows on the large gnoll. This movement obviously catches the notice of Zook, who immediately leaps to his own feet and rushes towards the original bush with his bow cocked and ready. As he arrives there, he catches two more kobolds in fact kneeling behind the bush with their hands on this bows, but not trained on anyone. This commotion causes four more kobolds to leap up from other positions on the mountainside, all training their bows at either Zook or Luthal. All eight kobolds begin yammering in a language that Zook and Luthal don't understand.

Kolarred sees and hears all of this activity from his hidden position down below.

Kolarred:
You hear the eight kobolds yelling at Zook and Luthal to not move and to drop their weapons. You can also sense ((Sense Motive check success)) that they are all very nervous... scared even. They seem to be quite spooked, almost like they weren't expecting anyone else to be back here, especially not the three of you.
 

Kolarred get out of his hideout.

"They worship Boldrei how bad can they be, let's try to use the soft approach"

Kolarred leave his weapon sheated and approaches them with his hand at shoulder height. He wants to show them that he wishes them no harm. He will also say slowly both in Draconic and Common that they aren't here to kill them, that we might even help them avenge their dead compagnion.

OOC: Kolarred will try to demonstrates through gestual and body language that they won't harm them. And that they aren't here to fight them. Also does he understand their language Diplomacy +14
 

"YEAARRGHHH!"

Luthal leaps into action, charging at the two kobolds on his right with a bellow. But when he hears the paladin call out to them, he stops short, restraining his charge.
 

Damn! So many! As he hears Luthal making his noise of attack he sees who he will attack and aims at the same kobolt

Unfortunately for the Knightmares... Kolarred's attempt of a calm and rational explanation in draconic from down the hill gets overshadowed by Luthal's howl towards the pair of kobolds to the right, coupled with Zook's re-aiming of his bow and his screaming at the top of his lungs in odd yammering languages. ((Diplomacy check failed)) This causes one of the kobolds to freak out and release the arrow he had nocked and aimed at the gnoll...

Kobold ((Shortbow [14] + 4 = 18 / AC 13)) *HIT* ((Dam [3]))

...which flies forward and pegs the gnoll in the arm. The pain that shoots up his limb takes a second to set in, but when it does it hurts! From the Knightmare's vantage point, they see the kobold that was standing next to the shooter turn to him and start screaming at him unitelligably again...

Kolarred:
The kobold yells at the one next to him 'What the heck are you doing? Don't shoot, you idiot!!!' To which the shooter replies something along the lines of 'I'm sorry! I ddin't mean to!'

...and the other six kobolds all leap up and get into the act, all yelling and yammering and creating a ruckous.

Luthal now stands within 10' of the two kobolds he originally started to charge... one with an empty bow, the other still with an arrow nocked. Zook stands over another pair 5' from them, although his bow is aimed at the two by Luthal. Kolarred makes a double move from the battle site up the hill, his hands raised trying to calm everyone down.

**********

OOC: Kolarred your Diplomacy check can be attempted again for this upcoming round if you would like. You had a number of circumstance penalties this past attempt because of Luthal's initial threatening charge with axes raised, Zook screaming and waving of his bow, and you being down the hill outside of melee range and thus more difficult to hear and notice. If you can get the party to change actions this upcoming round, you can attempt the check again.

"Dammit, Kolarred! What's going on here? One of those little bastards shoots again and I'm gonna cut 'em head to hip!"

OOC: Luthal will wait until Kolarred tries again. If one of the kobolds shoots again, charge the one who fires.
