The situation had definitely taken a turn for the worse for the kobolds. Their pack had been thinned at an extraordinary speed, and that was more than enough a reason to tip the switch in the small creature's head over onto the flight side. Not sporting a pair of wings and all the path it could take before it full of opposing forces, the scaled monster took the only available direction for itself. It leapt down from the edge, the sound of it smacking against the cavern floor echoing from the ten feet below where the drop ended.

It had been a calculated risk. Kobolds knew they were frail creatures, and even a drop of this meagre distance could have killed it. Luck was on the cult's lackey's side however, as despite falling prone they managed to break the fall rather efficiently and landed on their back after their tail had already worked as a buffer of sorts, rather than cracking the ribs of their side or breaking their face on the rugged floor. The drakes at the bottom turned to inspect the sound, but did not attack the small monster, Not even when it dove behind them and cowered under the tail of one particular example.

Instead of attempting a feeble assault at overwhelming opposition, the sole remaining kobold takes a leap of faith down into the pit. The falling distance of 10 feet means they will take 1d6 damage and fall prone unless they manage to mitigate all of it, which of the total of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/13530]2[/url] they can reduce none. Still alive after the impact, the kobold rises to its feet and rushes to cower behind one of the caged away beasts. They now benefit of half-cover against ranged attacks and have the benefits of their taken Dodge action.
