Kendrivel picks around the various skeleton remains, collecting several bones and fragments. Zedd watches him in curiosity. "Battle trophies?" he asks the kender, as the others ready their gear and animals to continue forward.

Huh?/ Oh these?! No, he practically giggles, Practice! He stows the armbone and begins juggling the legbones like juggling clubs. See? They don't call me the 'shinbone juggler' for nothin! I learned this way waaaay back in Sithicus! My third cousin twice-removed on my mothers side who was from a different village taught me. He's dead now, but i still remember how to juggle! But ya gotta practice. he adds the last as if passing on sage advice.

Zedd laughs boisterously. "I can see this little adventure will never be in risk of boredom!"
After a few hours of travel, the party continues north along the Tethyamar trail. Rocks, underbrush, and fallen trees hide the trail from time to time, and in some places the path vanishes completely.
To the west, the vast Spiderhaunt Wood stretches as far as the eye can see. The small remnant of Cormanthor that surrounds Shadowdale is visible to the east, growing closer as the trail continues northward.
However, Drezden's ranger skills are telling him something is amiss. He is certain the party is being watched...but by who and from where, he cannot be certain.

Malavar sits quietly on his horse, awaiting word of what's bothering Drezden.

For whatever reason, Drezden keeps his thoughts to himself. A short distance later, the trail twists and curves its way between the base of two hills. The path is well-defined here, but becomes a blur farther ahead between the rocks and tall grasses that shape these plains. Suddenly, a group of three-foot-tall creatures with glowing red eyes appear at the top of both hills. Armed with javelins, they seem to tense, preparing to throw their weapons down upon the party. ============== (OOC: Everyone roll initiative and surprise. If you are surprised, no action this round.

"Ambush!" Malavar cries. He tries to ride past Drezden to get out of range of the kobolds' javelins.

As the only one with foreknowledge that something was amiss, Drezden is able to act before even the kobolds. He hurries to the west hill and starts climbing up. When he gets to the top, he quickly kills one kobold but can now see that there are far more than the eight they saw before. They seem to be prepared to move in waves, throwing javelins, then another wave will come in to do the same while the first backs off. The nearest kobold throws her javelin at Drezden, which sticks into his shoulder. The others all throw their javelins down into the valley at the others. Malavar kicks Onyx into full speed, avoiding the falling javelins and leaving the others behind. He gallops the horse right toward a hidden pit trap, but he manages to jump it just in time, landing on the other side, before galloping off into the distance, over a hundred feet from the battle and outside the short range of the javelins. Zedd is the only one really caught off-guard by this, and does nothing. Dallion climbs up the other side of the hill and swings at a kobold, but misses. But he sees, as Drezden did, there are far more kobolds here than earlier believed. Finally, Kendrivel gets hit with a javelin, but fires off two arrows in retaliation. Unfortunately, both miss. ============== InitiativeDrezden: 5+4 = 9 Kobolds: 6+4 = 10 Malavar: 10 Zedd: 10 Dallion: 8+4 = 12 Kendrivel: 8+7 = 15 Round 01!Drezden moves 10 feet west and climbs up the hill 20 feet, then swings his magic (+1 hit/dmg) broad sword at Kobold 01 [TH 11] (1d20+1): 14+1 = 15, hit for (2d4+1): 3,3+1 = 7 slashing damage.

Ow! Hey Zedd, any chance you got another one of those super awesome Healy-dealies? I'm feeling a little woozy.

Now at a somewhat safer range, Malavar dismounts, straps on his shield and prepares his sling to rain bullets on the kobolds from afar.
Actions As above. Dismounting, strapping on a shield and loading his sling seems like the most he could manage in a round.

The battle does not go well. Drezden attempts to kill another kobold, but she parries his strike and winds up disarming him entirely, causing him to drop his enchanted sword to his feet. The first wave of kobolds retreat back, and a second wave takes their spot, throwing down javelins at Kendrivel and Zedd. They ignore Malavar, having apparently decided he had fled the fight. "I think I can manage one more," Zedd says as he dodges javelins, but he notices then that the kender has fallen silent. "Oh, dear," he mutters, spotting that Kendrivel had been struck by one of the javelins and now lay on the ground in a growing pool of blood. "Hold fast, friend!" he calls, although the kender is unable to hear him. To make matters worse, Zedd is struck by a javelin, as well, leaving the half-orc rather bloodied, but still standing. He hurls two small, star-shaped objects at one of the kobolds fighting Dallion, but neither hits the mark. Fortunately, Dallion doesn't need much help. He cuts down one of the two kobolds engaged with him, and avoids the blows of the other. Finally, Malavar, at a safe distance, dismounts from Onyx and readies his sling. ============== InitiativeDrezden: 5+4 = 9 Kobolds: 6+4 = 10 Zedd: 10+2 = 12 Dallion: 8+4 = 12 Kendrivel: 8+7 = 15 Malavar: 10+6 = 16 Round 02!Drezden swings his magic (+1 hit/dmg) broad sword at Kobold 02 [TH 11] (1d20+1): 1+1 = 2, critical fumble!
