Greenest in Flames

Taking a futile swing as his opponent makes a run for it Tayleron reacts quickly as he reaches for his bow and gets a shot off just as the kobold is about to find cover behind some barrels. The arrow buries itself into the back of the creature's skull and throws it to the ground. He doesn't make a move.

Linan, barely conscious, strikes out with her broken spear and doesn't come close to causing any damage, but does manage to back the creature into the perfect position for the lunging Triana whose blade enters the doomed kobold's ear. With a loud shriek of pain it drops to the ground and curls into a fetal position, blood puddling about its head.

Skipping back just enough to avoid the sharp end of Mogguth's axe the creature gives the cleric a wicked smile and spins its dagger in his hand, readying for his next attack.

Do'urth is up.

Both of Do'urth's blades find their target, making short work of the kobold standing in front of him. The sounds of his last remaining companion chocking to death on his own blood drives home the reality of the situation to Mogguth's attacker. Holding his blade out in front of him in a defensive posture he takes a few steps back and bolts to his right, following the path that his fellow fleeing kobold took just moments before.

Grimacing in pain Linan looks up at Triana and shakes her head, "I don't know why we're being attacked, but some of the groups that we've seen wandering around appear to be more interested in looting than actually killing folk." She looks over between a few of the buildings and slowly starts limping in the direction that her family had run off. From the shadows a man and three children slowly emerge, faces clearly shocked when they see the state that their mother is in, but relieved at the same time.

"We're heading to the keep, rumor is it's still safe but we have to get there quickly!" she motions her family along and begins to follow them between two of the buildings before turning back. "Follow us if you'd like us to get you to the keep, but do try to keep to the shadows"

Linan's eyes widen as Mogguth's spell envelops her in healing warmth. A bit stunned she takes a quick look at her wounds and seeing that they have all been healed stands with mouth agape. "Th.. th.. thank you, stranger!" Quickly composing herself she leads the group slowly ahead, working her way through shadows and between buildings in a way only someone with intimate knowledge of the small village could.

Suddenly she signals the party to stop, "We'll need to be quiet here" she says, bringing her index finger to her lips. She points off to the right where you see a single cultist and two kobolds peeking into the window of a candle shop. She then motions her family forward across the narrow street, in hopes of finding cover in the alley across the way.
