The main throng of kobolds crash and bound into the disarrayed company of adventurers, squealing and hacking with their cudgels, maces and pronged bones.
At the rear of the melee, two of them spin about to face Vangelis as he falls on them from behind, but he can't catch them before they dart around him, and one of the cunning fiends smashes him a blow with its cudgel.
Meanwhile the other 11 kobolds launch themselves into battle! The fighting is loud and furious, but the kobolds have the initial advantage. Dishmab the dwarf is bludgeoned to death in the fighting, as is Firas the sorcerer beaten down before he can complete his enchantment. Gaspard, Javas and Dram all take grievous hurts, but somehow continue to fight.
The company deal savage blows in retribution, slaying three and knocking a fourth senseless in the brutal melee. Tirandir has retreated to the base of the stair before loosing his missile, but it miraculously cuts through the battle without scratching anyone!
Initiative is rolled (1d6; Tirandir=2, Firas=6-1, Javis=6, Dishmab=3-1, Gaspard=2, Dram=5-1, Spaz=1, Mot=6, kobolds=6!)
Two kobolds turn to tackle Vangelis (1d6 initiative; Vangelis=4 kobolds=3) but he has the jump on them and hooves in with his mace (1d20=12) but the cunning little things dodge him before retaliating (2d20=4,17) and one of them cracks him with a cudgel for (1d6=2) 2 hit points.
Meanwhile the kobold charge crunches home en mass! (11 attacks allocated to random targets excluding Vangelis and Tirandir; 1=Firas, 2=Javas, 3=Dishmab, 4=Gaspard, 5=Dram, 6=Spaz, 7=Mot; 10d7=1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7)
Tirandir retreats all the way to the foot of the stair, and is out of immediate danger, but Firas and Gaspard are attacked once each, Dishmab, Mot and Javas twice, and Dram thrice. Attack rolls 1d20; vs Firas=14, vs Gaspard=15, vs Dishmab=19, 2, vs Mot=3, 1, vs Javas=6, 11, vs Dram=20, 8, 6.
Damage is rolled for hits.
Firas is hit for 3 hp -- His enchantment is ruined before he can complete it, and worse Firas is slain!
Gaspard is hit for 1 hp,
Dishmab is hit for once 6 hp, Dishmab is slain,
Javas is hit once for 2 hp,
Dram is hit once for 6 hp.
The company retaliate (Attack rolls; gaspard=16, dram=15, spaz=6, jaras=20, tirandir=2, mot=10).
Gaspard punches a kobold in the face with a stone in his fist for (1d6=4) 4 points of subdual damage, knocking it unconscious. Dram (1d6=6) eviscerates one of his attackers, slashing it in half with his sword, but Spaz misses. Javas (1d6=5) guts one with his dagger. Tirandir's shot flies wide, and Mot (1d6=5) presses his dagger into a kobold's eye socket, slaying it instantly.
The referee will make a morale roll to determine how the kobolds react next round.
What now people?
