Alexander and Rix take the hill from the eastern side, while the Silas, Kel, and Dartis come in from the west.
Almost instantly, the plan begins to fall apart. Silas is spotted coming from the west, and three of the kobolds immediately charge the party. Rix accidently steps into a small hole that was hidden by the grass and cries out in alarm, as he almost twists his ankle. The cry is heard by the kobold in the rocks as Rix regains his balance and pulls his leg out. The two remaining sentinels head to attack Rix and Alexander while the sixth kobold jumps from the circle of rocks and makes a run for the door. Rix fires his crossbow, killing the kobold before he makes it. As soon as his dying cry is finished, the other kobolds cease attacking, and stand listlessly, gazing ahead at empty space with lifeless eyes.
