I'm in-between sessions at the pagoda. I had Rekarek attack in the fountain room. Party spotted the trap while Doopa was gone and carefully avoided the pressure plates. I had Ama tell them she is surprised by this situation since Skerix seemed reasonable.
My plan was to have the Kobolds attack for a round and then fall back to the maze in the Grand Hall. The party focused on Rekarek and managed to down her in the first round since she jumped into the fray to use her haphazard hack. I had one of the other Kobolds pick up her pick but that one was dropped too.
I'm debating how to play the Kobolds that escaped. Im not sure if they should continue to fight and launch the ambush in the great Hall or fall back in with Skerix. Then the party can hear the labour chants and crazy demands and maybe eventually come to a negotiated peace with Skerix. I don't know how they will handle Skerix if the Kobolds keep fighting. I want to play Rekarek as the cause of the violence and have Skerix remain mostly innocent. Basically Skerix wanted a peaceful protest and Rekarek went for a show of force instead.
