While a 9 would have missed, Marioc no longer has cover penalties, since he’s now in front, so the freezing ray hits the dazed sorcerer.
The sorcerer once again shakes the daze off. His friend continues his attack on Batu, just missing as Batu ducks at the last second.
Edgrin recasts his spell, redazing Kerrdremak.
You’re all up. Maybe hit them this time?
Kylan turned his hand towards Rao and fired a golden green healing blast to heal him and also inflicting 1 burn and 2 nonlethal damage on him as well.
Batu continues to trade attacks - attacks that continually find a way to never connect with either - with the kobold.
Kerrdremak is looking badly hurt. Only Oryn left to go this round.
With Rao up and moving, Oryn sends a blast of air at the closest (red) kobold.
Oryn's blast of air slams into the sorcerer, depriving him of even the chance to whine about how unfair it is as the gust of wind snaps his neck back, and he crumples to the ground.
The final kobold doesn't like the look of his chances, but it seems that surrender isn't in the cards as he continues to swing at Batu, in ever more desperate circles.
Your combined efforts will be enough to put down the last warrior, however, as you can't all continue to miss him forever.
The mooks have nothing on them, unless you need more javelins.
The dagger warrior has his unusual weapon (a dagger on the end of a chain, definitely an exotic weapon, which has ten-foot reach and threatens adjacent). It's sized for small wielders, however, so not much use to you (technically, all the javelins you've been using should have been small-user size, but we can handwave that). He also has two doses of centipede poison remaining and two vials of cure light wounds potions.
Kerrdremak has a MW club, also small-sized but good for Edgrin, 3 vials of cure light wounds potions, a tanglefoot bag, and three pieces of finely-polished obsidian worth 50 gp total.
I assume some of you drink some potions, and then...?
"Any o' you lads and lassies in need o' some healing?" Asked Kylan to everyone.
"Some more of your healing touch will be appreciated Kylan"
Kylan turned his hand towards Oryn and fired a golden green healing blast to heal him and also inflicting 1 burn and 2 nonlethal damage on him as well.
"How about yersel' Rao laddie? Need another dose o' healin'?" Kylan asked.

Marioc shakes his right arm from the repeated motion of throwing ice at kobolds. He watches Kylan's healing a little light-headed. He takes out his water skin and gulps a little too long before saying "Those potions over there might be useful. Maybe we want to preserve master Kylan's energy." He looks around trying to get ready to move on, but he enjoys resting a little while the others sort the findings out.
"I have got potions if any are in need. I have several actually. Anyone?" Batu offers.
"Nae laddie; potions 'r best saved fer in combat." Commented Kylan.
Kylan turned his hand towards Rao and fired a golden green healing blast to heal him and also inflicting 1 burn and 2 nonlethal damage on him as well.
Oryn was familiar with being tired, having to work in the fields planting, weeding, harvesting. He knew that Kylan healing more of his wounds would only intensify the feeling, but he also knew that a good nights rest would alleviate him of that feeling.
"Kylan is right, we have a limited number of those potions. Unless I am mistaken, you can keep healing us with that green blast of yours; right Kylan? Please send another one my way if you please."
"Aye laddie; as long as someone pays the burn, I can heal all day." Kylan confirmed.
Kylan again fired a golden green healing blast to heal Oryn and also inflicting 1 burn and 2 nonlethal damage on him as well.
"Thanks Kylan, I feel completely healed and ready to go find any more lost children."
Oryn turns to Edgrin
"So, where do you go next?"
Edgrin indicates the north door. "We came in from there. There's a shaft that leads down and a tunnel off to the right, I think."
You open the door to reveal a short hallway leading into a chamber. You can't see if there's a tunnel, but you can definitely see the shaft in the centre of the room...the shaft guarded by five kobolds who are obviously waiting for you (they heard your battle through the door). The four flanking the hallway each through a javelin at Batu, while the fifth (red) barks orders as he looses his own version of that chain dagger weapon.
The commander delays, meaning you're all up next.
The mook goes prone.
"Geez, how many of these nasty critters are down here?"
Oryn will send a blast at the closest kobold
He attempts to daze this new boss kobold.
The kobold just shakes off the spell.
Kylan thrust forth a hand and caused currents of aether to loft a dust covered shoeshine box lying forgotten in a corner into the air and fling itself at mister yellow.
for a possible kinetic damage.
Batu draws one of his many javelins and throws it at yellow.
The usual routine of missing wildly continues. Rao is left to go.
Seeing that the mountain isn’t coming to them, the kobold commander barks a single word, the Draconic word for ‘box’, and the kobolds begin to move together. Two kobolds form a line in front of Oryn and Batu while the other two form a rear wall ten feet back. The kobold commander slips forward into the middle space and attacks with his reach weapon.
Oryn takes a nasty spear thrust, and it becomes clear that these kobolds are much more skilled of fighters than the ones you’ve fought previous.
Everybody is up.
Oryn takes a step back and launches another Air Blast at the yellow kobold.
The blast goes high and Oryn makes a whispered sound: $#!&
Batu returns to attacking with his greatest ally, the earth.
Edgrin casts his spell again.
The kobold commander is dazed, so there is that.
Master Kylan thrust forth a hand and caused currents of aether to loft a weighty long forgotten elf to orc dictionary into the air and fling itself at mister yellow.
for a possible kinetic damage.
Then he took a step back.
Yes, it did get up and moved off the grease. No need to maintain it, as they are no longer anywhere near it.
You pull back slightly and the kobolds move forward, the yellow one getting a small singe from Rao's fire. One of the rear kobolds also steps up to the front, but his friend stays in formation. Being dazed, the commander doesn't move forwards.
Three kobold spears stab, one each for Oryn, Batu, and Edgrin. None of them are any more successful than you.
Edgrin takes a step back and recasts his spell this time on pink kobold, dazing him.
Kimi moves forward, brandishing her club, and before anybody can say anything, takes a swing at pink kobold.
Everybody is up.
Oryn will take another step back and send another blast at the yellow kobold.
This time the blast goes wide and Oryn cries "C'mon!".
Master Kylan maneuvered around to the right in a flanking move. He thrust forth a hand and caused currents of aether to loft a folding chair into the air and fling itself at mister pink.
for a possible kinetic damage.
"Do not despair, Oryn Goldenstalk!" he calls out, smiling wide. "We are simply luring them in to a false sense of security! And they have fallen for our clever trap! Is it not fantastic?!" he asks rhetorically, throwing more earth at the enemy.
The dazed pink kobold goes down in a spray of blood and rock.
Yellow kobold catches fire. He spends this round rolling around trying to put the flames out. If Batu has a weapon in hand, he can take an AoO (javelins are improvised melee weapons, -4 to hit). Batu would also get an AoO against light blue if he chose not to attack yellow, or if he has Combat Reflexes.
Success, but he's now prone.
Light and dark blue kobolds advance, maintaining their line. They give you a masterclass in how to attack someone.
+ Fort save DC 11 or take 1 Dex damage
Kimi swings at dark blue kobold with her club. Clearly she's been watching you all fight and picked up some tips.
Finally, Edgrin choose dark blue for his spell this round, leaving him dazed.
You're all up.
Oryn shoots at the same kobold as Marioc
and has the same results.
Kylan thrust forth a hand and caused currents of aether to loft a kobold pet's discarded hamster wheel (hamster squeaking in outrage) into the air and fling itself at mister Blue.
for a possible kinetic damage.
