Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 2 - Illusions)

Kel watches the kobolds carefully, when an opportunity arises he says "Those gems are exquisite workmanship, almost as good as what an elf could produce. They're definitely not something produced by kobolds, no offence intended friend Rix but the workmanship is almost perfect"

"Indeed, two groups. One just over the hill. And with no cover there seems little chance of gaining surprise. Although if we came around the east side and tried to take out the kobold in the ring of stones, that would at leats leave us just the one group to deal with. Another option is to get him to show his head and try to pick him off from here, thta would allow us the chance to charge up the hill and gain the door or the other group without challenge." suggests Dartis
 


"The less ruckus we make the less chance we have of alerting the second group to our arrival. If we move as silently and swiftly as possible to take the ring of stones we will be in a defensible position to scout over the hill to locate the other group. If half of us approaches from the east and the other from the west, we can pinch the controller between us and quickly put him down before a strong defense can be mustered." Rix clicks his claws together once again, "then we can deal with the ones over the hill."
 


OOC: I would vote for Rix and Alexander going together as they can maintain their stealth alone the best and perhaps stay undetected longer.
 

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.
 

"Really a pathetic proverb you big people have, but cut the head off the snake and the body follows." Reloading his crossbow he shakes off the slight pain in his ankle and waves the others forward. "Alexander, scout over the hill and see what the other group is up to."

Rix will then move up to one of the stationary kobolds to examine him.
