An inkling that turned into a certainty as a group of small, reptilian creatures burst from the trees around them and attacked, yelling and screaming.As Des hollered "Everyone back in the caravan!" and ducked for cover, the rest of the party responded with weapons drawn and spells readied, taking down several of the kobolds in a few seconds. Theron suffered a nasty hit though – one particular kobold was able to sling a firepot at him, setting his arm on fire. Theron cursed and frantically tried to stop the blaze from spreading up his clothes. Elwanen, in turn, recklessly stepped through the Feywild to reach the tougher looking kobolds at the back.The battle raged across the area, with most of the group holding a good defensive line against the tougher kobolds who could stand up to them. Three, in particular, caused the most problems as their dragonscale shields helped them deflect several attacks that were aimed their way.Des, however, continued to stay in the caravan, imploring the other to join him in. The others, filled with the joy of battle, were not listening.Theron managed to put out his fire and blast one dragonshield back into the trees with a Thunderwave. Snarling, the kobold bared its teeth and charged back into the fray, shortsword clutched in its scaly fingers, only for Rangrim to use the power of the Thunderhammer to blast the kobold back again, clutching it's ears.Sabbat Fau showed his power for the first time, pronouncing a sentence of doom upon a kobold and then following up with a nasty curse that caused one kobold to burst into flames from the inside and catch fire. Thankfully for the kobold, Cass dispatched it shortly afterwards, her greataxe carving through it like so much dead meat.Whilst all this was going on, Aran and the kobold slinger had been playing hide'n'seek just up the road. Seeing it's friends defeated, the slinger made a break for freedom but a flying tackle from Aran stopped it in it's tracks. Up close, it wasn't so dangerous and a couple of quick scimitar and dagger thrusts meant it lay dead on the ground.After the battle, Aran grabbed one of the dragonscales that the kobolds had been using as shields and announced he was keeping it as a trophy. Des & Cass calmed the mule that pulled the wagon, and with a short pause to move the bodies off the road the group continued on their way to Winterhaven.Next update: Finally, the party arrives in Winterhaven!</blockquote>
