Oddly enough, despite her initial thoughts wandering off to magic, something in Kyra's mind nagged at her. Above ground, many grew with an aversion for strong sunlight. Here where only fragments of the light could make it this far and they were possibly being tended to… if she was to believe the spores of these mushrooms to have come all the way from the dreaded Underdark, it would all add together. But was she going to go to such lengths, when magic was the much likelier explanation. And possibly less hostile to boot.

As soon as the beating of small wings and the creatures attached to them approaching had been noted, the adventurers scrambled. Each and every single one of them sought their own hiding spots, Torus realising that he would have to do such a thing only once the others had already been on the move for a few seconds. In the end, the monsters further away ended up catching on the presence of intruders through the least prepared and the most noisy examples. Their war cries echoed sharply in the cavern, but there was still hope that the five creatures emerging from the mist would not alert others were those noises silenced swiftly enough. And as for what they were, it would be known soon as they would fly close enough to be recognisable.

Their adversaries were kobolds with leathern wings on their backs. Only those who'd taken part in the burning of the kobold huts more directly might have seen these before, in service to the cult of the Dragon or outside of it. Two dived to the mass of mushrooms below the ledge and out of view, while the three still flapping in the air drew their daggers and prepared to charge at their ten foot flight height. They stalled momentarily, as if waiting for something.

Information regarding Kyra's nature check was given in the post.

Torus receives the message and attempts to hide, though by that point the enemy has already had more time to approach and his efforts are hindered. Despite me originally forgetting to perform the Perception check for him to move faster, once done retoractively it resulted in a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12822]7[/url], not cluing him in until told otherwise. In the end, the Stealth roll was made at disadvantage and resulted in a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12820]7[/url], the second roll of the lot being [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12821]9[/url].

Combat is upon us once more. Roll for initiative! Torus's is [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12823]13[/url]. It is reasonable to assume that the monsters are not aware of all of you, with them openly showing that they've noticed Torus and Orchid thus far.
