Milo and Quinray lead the way into the clearing where the kobolds have obviously removed all the moon radishes that were once growing here. A primitive trail exits the far side of the clearing and disappears into the woods. Milo sees signs of the kobolds recent flight down the trail and heads up the trail.
Perception checks for the party please.
Milo takes his time stalking the path of the kobolds, taking Tirnel's words about ambushes to heart:
Tirnel enjoys the time amidst all the wilderness, quite different from what he was used to in the cities he has spent most of his life in.
The party notices a cave at the end of the path ahead, Milo notices...
Watch out! There is a pit trap right in front of us. If we make off towards the right, there is a concealed path that will take us right up to the cave. Hopefully without death and dismemberment.
Milo leads the party up to the cave entrance.
Milo and party enter the cave which curves quickly to the left and opens to a 15'x15' cavern with an exit at far side.
Four kobolds are surprised as they are setting sacks down on the ground.
Party action, you are basically at melee range.
Not quite the ambush I was expecting. Time to go to work...
Milo unsheathes his falchion and puts his blade into action.
Tirnel attempts to disable one of the little creatures with some simple magics.
Cast daze DC 16 Will
This spell clouds the mind of a humanoid creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice so that it takes no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are not affected. A dazed subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against it. After a creature has been dazed by this spell, it is immune to the effects of this spell for 1 minute.
attack
Attack with falchion
Quinray attempts to skewer a kobold with his rapier.
Tirnel's spell dazes a kobold.
Milo opens a second kobold from chest to groin, disemboweling it.
Kentaur, Ibram, and Quinray flail about wishing they could cleave some more leaves off trees.
The two kobolds capable of combat yell out and stab with their spears towards Quinray and Kentaur, penetrating Kentaur's stout armor at the shoulder joint.
"Ow! You sneaky little lizard!"
attack with falchion
Milo swings his wicked blade again, this time at the dazed kobold, hoping to duplicate his previous carnage.
But his inexperienced stomach is turned by viewing the carnage of his previous strike.
These creatures seem quite susceptible to my dwimmer; I shall attempt to befuddle another of their scaly kind.
Daze on kobold not attacked in melee; DC 16 Will.
Quinray
The two remaining kobolds are in melee.
Ibram decapitates the same kobold that Tirnel dazes while Quinray pokes one with his rapier.
The last kobold flails ineffectively with its spear.
Party action, perception checks too please.
Tirnel attempts to daze the last kobold.
But his focus on the foe completely distracts him from anything else going on.
Just one left...

Quinray:
Kentaur and Ibram hit the last kobold low and high, ending its life.
With the exception of Tirnel, the party sees 4 more kobolds getting ready to enter the cavern from the exit passage on the far side of the cavern.
(except Tirnel who is surprised this round)
channel some healing over Milo and myself
"Abadar's blessings"
channel some healing over Milo and myself
"Abadar's blessings" [dice=Pulse1]1d6
Might want to be careful with the channeling until you get selective channeling feat.
did I not mention my feet are on the necks of the least dead lizards?
Sorry Erastil, but Abadar indeed!
-1 HP
These kobolds must breed like mayflies! Be careful there may be some trap ahead; a murder hole possibly in the celing!
Milo switches to his longbow and fires off an arrow:
What the deuce! MORE kobolds?
Tirnel stands slackjawed at the appearance of more foes.
Ibram will hurla javelin as he closes
Quinray does a poor job of copying Milo:
Ibram and Milo combine to take down one the kobolds. Kentaur heals while Tirnel's mouth gapes open in surprise. Meanwhile, Quinray nearly shoots himself in the foot with his arrow as his bowstring slips from his sweaty fingers just as he begins his pull.
A flask of oil comes down from somewhere above the party striking the stone floor of the cave and splashing Milo, Kentaur, Tirnel and Quinray (1 point of fire damage each).
Ibram's armor and nimble dance moves keep him from being struck by the spears of the kobolds, he quickly glances back over his shoulder at his companions as if to say "how about some help guys?"
-2 HP
Milo moves up to support Ibram, Next time let them come to us.
Tirnel moves forward, but stays out of melee, and attempts to daze one of the kobolds.
DC 16 will.
Kentaur moves up and engages with Morning star
Ibram strikes with falchion
Quinray:
Moves up to melee, exchanges bow for rapier.
Kentaur takes down a kobold smashing in its head with his morningstar. Tirnel finally finds a kobold that shrugs off his spell. Milo gets a spear in the side while Quinray steps nimbly aside.
-7 HP
Ooof... Milo gasps out in pain as the small spear drives through the scales of his armor, sharply piercing his side.
His blade flashes in a deadly arc, attempting to repay the favor.
But the pain is too much!
Tirnel again reaches out with his magics to daze a kobold.
DC 16 Will.
Kentaur strikes
strike with falchion
"bah!"
Quinray
The kobolds prove to be harder to hit than anticipated, but Tirnel manages to daze one. Clearly the kobolds do not like Milo.
Another kobold approaching down the passage behind the others and hurls a spear taking Milo in the shoulder.
Party action, 3 kobolds in front, 1 behind and now apparently without a weapon.
-14 HP
This is why I prefer a bow...
Looking much the worse for wear, Milo flails away with his falchion on the one dazed by Tirnel:
Milo seems to be taking the brunt of it. Thankfully we have some divine healing on tap!
Tirnel attempts to daze another kobold in melee.
Daze DC 16 Will
