Koph was backing one step at a time, the kobolds advancing warily as a group.  She kept her strokes steady, but she could feel the music building in intensity.  Her steps grew shorter; the kobolds' did not.  As the movement reached its peak, Koph lunged forward with her thrust.  The kobold on her right couldn't react quickly enough and the spear's tip drove through its chest.  Pulling back just as suddenly, Koph spun away from the remaining two.  Seeing the opening, both attacked; though the center one, with its thigh still injured, ran while its companion leaped.

This proved its salvation, at least for the moment.  Its companion found the but of Koph's spear shooting backward, meeting its skull as it descended on its prey.  The beast's head snapped back and it fell, lifeless, to the ground.  The remaining kobold staggered backward in surprise, just in time to avoid the speartip as Koph spun around again, resetting her stance.

She glanced back to her companion.  He seemed fine; he'd already dealt with one of the kobolds, the other two weren't near enough to attack.  He was a bit further up the hall, too--somewhat behind and beside her remaining opponent.  [color=00ff7f]"Switch!"[/color] she called at him.
