Greenest

a brave few choose to aid the town, running towards the smoke and fire. As they approach, they begin to see kobolds, and humans in masks looting buildings, starting fires.

Citizens of the town hide in corners, or dash towards the keep, the centre of the towns defences.

Approaching from the south, the river turns out to be shallow and slow, running across it is no problem, and the group finds itself at the edge of the chaos...

Without warning, five humans dash out from between two buildings on your left. A limping man and three young children race across the street into more shadows, and a woman carrying a round shield and a broken spear turns and faces back in the direction from which they came. Eight kobolds stream out of the alley on the family's heels and fan out around the woman, who looks determined to delay the creatures for as long as possible.

A crossbow bolt streams through the air and into the back of one of the Kobolds who is knocked prone in a spray of blood.

"we need to get these children to the keep" the injured man croaks "and my husband!" shouts the woman with the spear to your approaching group.

She is doing her best to keep the kobolds at bay, but eight is too many.

Grim slides into the chaotic circle, his whip catching a kobold right across the face, snapping his neck and tossing him into the wounded kobold trying to get back to his feet killing them both.

Clarice's bullet whizzes just over everyone's heads and clatters off a nearby wall.

the staff strike knocks the kobold's head clear off, and the following strike sails through the empty space the head used to occupy.

of the five kobolds standing, four suddenly begin to slouch and wobble. The fifth wide eyed watches his remaining four comrades collapse around him.

In complete terror the last standing kobold flees into the smoky night.

The woman with the spear is in tears, dropping everything to clutch her children. "you, you...must help me get to the keep..... we can be safe there!" she points across the grassy town green at the tallest building in town.
