Tuk's wicked chain again lashes one of the kobolds, shredding the flesh and leaving it dying and stunned on the slick cave floor.
It occurs to John that these kobolds are more "koboldy" than regular ones- stronger, scalier, nastier. Hopefully, their weaknesses are also exaggerated. He casts a simple light spell overhead. The effects at first seem non-existent, but moments later when the creatures step back and start firing, their aim seems impaired.
THe creatures all take a few steps back as a unit and fire their crossbows at the party. John isn't sure whether it's the light of his spell, or just sheer luck, but all five of the bolts
fly wide of him and his companions.
