Buzz scampers into the room, hiding behind one of the pillars until he can see what is going on. "I do!" Buzz says to Grimmylow.

The Yellow kobold has, indeed, heard of Sarenrae's bosom, and as a non-mammal, is unimpressed.
Buzz moves in.

Green takes up the space that Yellow vacated behind the northeastern pillar, Taking Cover, and then Hiding.
Cyan also takes advantage of Grimmylow and Thorn being unable to see him - he Hides, Sneaks, and throws a spear at Grimmylow.

He is far less sneaky than his compatriot.
Blue moves up behind the pillar where Cyan once hid, and throws a spear at Kzem before Taking Cover.
Magenta leapfrogs forward, keeping the pillar between him and Grimmylow/Thorn, and throwing a spear at Kzem.

"Ow!" Meadow rubs her forehead. "That always looked so cool when Thistle did it but it really hurts."

Kzem steps behind the red scaled Kobold, placing it in an uncomfortable position between him and Meadow. Aiming to knock the creature silly, he swings his shield in an attempt to render the creature unconscious, not dead.
Turning, he looks down at the green creature and assesses it for any weaknesses.

Meadow runs up to Cyan, and simply punches him in the neck, knocking him out with one punch.
Kzem moves up behind Magenta, bashing it with his shield, right on the crown of the head. Magenta collapses as well.

Grimmylow doesn't know what that one kobold is doing but he doesn't like it.
"May Sarenrae flex her strong right arm and help us strike true!" he declares.
And it seems she does as a golden light surrounds the goblin. It is filled with tiny winged women who are human but have goblin facial features.
He walks next to Thorn and Buzz and they whisper in their ears and adjust their weapons to help their aims.

Buzz shifts out from around the pillar and tosses a pair of bombs into the kobolds direction. "Quit messing with the food stash."

Grimmylow spits out a blessing from Sarenrae, and Buzz lobs two bombs, the first of which hits the White kobold in the head.
Yellow draws a new spear and moves up to attack Buzz.
Green sees Kzem's artifact, and takes offense to the mockery. He draws a spear and pretends to hide behind the pillar, then re-appears, throwing it at Kzem.

Kzem is not fooled, but the spear hits anyway.
Blue hides and draws a spear, and then pops out behind the pillar to throw at Meadow.

Kzem steps forward, approaching the green Kobold leading with his shield- clearly displaying a tooth from a dead green dragon.
"This is going to be you, little lizard"
He steps into position and flashes his empty hand, light collecting in the mirror and reflecting a full form of Kzem opposite of the green beast. Taking advantage of the confusion, he swing his shield at the kobold.

"Ow that hurt. Bad dragon!" Meadow closes on her attacker. "Silence! Help me."
Finally called into battle, Silence lets loose a piercing battle cry. "Screech!"
Meadow launches an unsteady haymaker at her diminutive foe.
Although dizzy from blood loss, the ranger still manages to land a punch on the kobold.
Kzem appears in two places, confusing the kobold, but not enough to make his strike hit.
Silence comes careening around the corner, but the kobold blocks its beak. However, Meadow punches the kobold on the back of the head while he isn't looking.
Thorn shoots Yellow with a specially designed bean bag, ricocheting it off the kobold's head. The kobold falls.
The White kobold springs into action, whipping out a shortsword, and circling around one of the Kzems. Now flanking with both of his minions, he slashes at Meadow.

The attack catches Meadow off guard, and she falls.

"Oh no! Meadow! You're not supposed to let them hit you like that! Are you talking to Pharasma? Did you already receive your reward? You know what, I'm going to go ahead and heal you. Sarenrae will forgive me if you were happier where you were," Grimmylow declares.
He casts out healing energy toward his injured companion.
He also keeps the blessing up and it expands another 5' in all directions.
As Buzz moves into the square, he steps on a quickly-fashioned pressure plate, and a large spike shoots up into his foot.
Buzz's first bomb immolates Green. A second bomb lands harmlessly on the floor, but splashes Blue a little.
Grimmylow calls upon Sarenrae's aid, healing Meadow.
The Blue kobold tries to take advantage of Grimmylow's distraction. Ducking behind a pillar, he tries to hide from everyone.

Kzem positions himself to take advantage of the now-conscious Meadow- hoping to divert whites attention in multiple directions.
He sizes up the Kobold, and finds a small broken cage amongst his esotera- wielding it against the trap loving creature. He then turns and attempts to bash it with his shield again.

Meadow stands up unsteadily. "S...s...Silence. Go get him. He must be behind that pillar."
Silence hops forward and strikes.
"Good job! Keep it up. I'm gonna fall back for just a bit."
The young archer moves back to some cover behind a pillar.

Limping from nearly being impaled by a small floor spike Buzz limps off to the other corner of the room and tosses a small bit of fire at the remaining kobold.

After defeating the kobolds, the heroes examine their fallen foes. Aside from their obvious equipment - spears, and two spiked snares on the White kobold, the heroes find White was wearing a special necklace: a simple copper chain and a cracked piece of a large eggshell. The shell is ivory in color, but it has strange green veins running through it. This piece is only about 3 inches across, but the egg it came from must have been at least 2 feet wide.
The heroes don’t find other treasure in the room, but there’s an exit: the spiral staircase in the back of the room descends even deeper into the earth.
The stairs spiral down deep into the earth before ending in a chamber that looks like it’s been prepared specifically to defend against intruders. On one side of the room, a table has been turned on its side to provide cover, while on the other, crates and barrels have been piled up to create a second barrier.
Thorn suddenly holds up a fist, pausing most of the party on the stairs. There is something here - two kobolds are hiding behind the items, having been alerted when they heard the fighting upstairs.

"Hey! What's going on down there? Sounds like a lot of noise. You guys aren't roughhousing are you?"
Grimmylow comes into the room. "Looks like some sinners who need to hear the Word, but you'll be able to listen better while you're asleep," he says.
"There's one over there, Kzem!" he calls out, pointing out Blue.
Then, he wraps himself in a Shield of Sarenrae's mercy.

Buzz rushes down the stairs to the other side of the table for cover where he tosses a sall vial of flames across the room to the kobolds.

"What in the heck are ya'all shooting at down here?
Kzem turns the corner and is greeted by Grimmylow pointing out a creature. He spends a moment to try to size up the creature before leaping into action against the blue kobold.

Grimmylow comes in and protects himself, Guiding Kzem.
A small bottle of alchemist's fire flies into the mix, but its effects are not small, splashing burning liquid on both Red and Blue.
Kzem understands that these kobolds prize their eggs the way that mammals treat their young. He holds up a piece of egg shell, which the kobolds find personally antithetical. His shield boss strike is a complete failure, though.
Meadow rushes out to attack, but the kobolds knew she was coming because they heard her say, "Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Moe."
Thorn waltzes in and blasts the kobold in the leg, but the kobold appears stronger than the ones upstairs, and does not succumb quite as easily.
Red, with nowhere to retreat, drops his crossbow and draws his shortsword. In a surprise move, he rushes forward and tries to Tumble between Meadow's legs.

She immediately kicks him in the shin.

There is a makeshift barricade in the back of this room.
Everyone besides the goblin notices a foul stench coming from the passage behind the barricade—like rotten fish and sweat. Buzz also hear a faint sound of dripping water coming from somewhere in the distance.
