When the second to last kobold falls, the final one begins muttering something that sounds like a chant. At the culmination of the creature's feverish mantra, it drops its weapon and clutches the golden claw pendant that hangs from it's neck. An instant later there is a loud blast and blood, gristle, and bone shred through the party.
Ooc: Everyone roll a reflex save.
 







Whether by luck or providence of a higher power, all but Roderic avoid taking some damage from the blast. As everyone dives down, around, or behind him, Roderic is left standing to face the fury... no anger... no, mild irritation of the blast. Gore sprays across Roderic's face, briefly blowing back his sweat-stringy hair. Hunks of kobold rain down on the rest of the party, slicking everything. It doesn't take long for the pieces and liquids to degenerate into black slime. Scrag sees some of the sludge roll up into tiny little tubes that crawl or squirm around before fading.
Just beyond the pile of liquifying bodies lies a large room. From what can be seen of it, the walls have a slick black luster to them. None of the party have ever seen anything like it.Roderic, Grok, and Scrag all especially have a sense of foreboding about the way ahead. This chanber appears to serve as a temple for the kobolds. It's flat, smooth floor and ceiling reflect light cast upon them. The frescoes that depict a bald human male in blue robes calling bolts of lightning down upon a castle, binding a scorpion demon in a pentagram, blotting out the sun with a monstrous, black hand in the sky, and sundering the temple of some unknown god with a blast of scarlet energy.
Eight pillars arranged in two rows of four each run from floor to ceiling. Each pillar is crafted to resemble a human in robes holding the ceiling with his outstretched hands. The figures wear holy symbols or display them on their robes. Each symbol corresponds to a deity of good or neutrality.

OOC: What will you all do?
