Though they didn't know what hit them, they did know they were going to get hit by something. As the group moved closer to investigate, the dragon split exploded between one of the brigands and the big guy. The dragon spit exploded into a large ball of flame even during this torrential downpour, though perhaps because of that the two failed to 'burst into flames' and only get burnt. Still it hurt them, and from the steam a bolt flew and struck the burning bandit in the back as Shortfang rose from his hidden location.

The big guy looked towards the kobold, seeing you in the tree. "There they are! Get em!" Pylia however had her own ideas. "Hey ugly, eat dirt!" She shouted as magic condensed around her warclub before she flung it at the unsuspecting brigand. ^Radiant Bolt!^ The ball of light and magic slammed against the brigand and illuminated his body clearly even as the rain picked up and cut visibility. The nearest brigand who got hit by the dragonspit tried to take aim at Pylia, only for Shortfang's arrow to catch him in the throat. "Over here humies! YOU FIGHT SHORTFANG!"

The big guy seemed to accept his challenge. "Damn lizard! I'll turn you into a goddamn belt!" He charged the kobold expecting him to be an easy enemy, cleaving his greatsword right through Shortfang. It looked like the little guy was done for until he revealed to still be standing, but coughed up blood and defiance. "You hit like a kitten!" He shouted back. This angered the man as he tried to cut down Shortfang again, but in a surprisingly show of skill he was able to use his shortsword to deflect the blade just in time for the man's own sword to block a crossbow bolt from one of his cronies. The other brigands started shooting at the party, one who's shot was foiled by Shortfang, another who aimed at Pylia, and one who fired a bolt at you. Pylia was quick enough to raise her shield to block the bolt, but the one heading towards you would fly straight towards your leg.
