Having received the call to action and approval from the man he believed to be some sort of an authoritarian figure in the group, Mr. Lake reached for the pouch he had on his belt. "[color=teal]These attacker truly need to take a break[/color]", he said in jest as he procured a smaller pouch of sand from amidst many different items. He carefully pulled out a pinch of it and sprinkled it onto his other hand while pronouncing words in the language of the arcane. The effects were immediate, causing the six kobolds to fall onto the ground within the smoke.

However, within the smog two more shapes moved about, causing Mr. Lake to bite his lip as he realised he had not got them all. Had his spell not been strong enough or had the effective area missed them? Whatever the case, those figures were still moving. At least they were no further than 55 feet away, if that was of any help. Lake carefully placed the sand back where it belonged and warmed up his fingers for a certain gesture most wizards were quite familiar with. If need be, he could always bring forth the power of Burning Hands.

Brannor let loose his arrow on the moving shape on the left, judging from his point of view. The arrow indeed struck something, but in the dense-ish smoke from 15-feet point from the edge, it was hard to see what it had struck. But at least the yell sounded like some humanoid. Most important of all, they didn't seem to be ready to counterattack yet!

Brannor hits his longbow attack.
The enemies were not ready to face your attack. That means they are Surprised for the first round, unable to act.

ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!
