The battlefield was already bloodied with the bodies of many trogs, but that didn't seem to perturb the swarm of monsters as they prepared to lunge and swarm the Sewer Dragons. That being said, your knife coming out from nowhere to cut one in the back did cause one to be distracted. All at once the party ran in, ready to fight. Shortfang fired his crossbow right at the trog you were attacking, just as it turned to face you and got a bolt in it's eye for it's trouble. As Shortfang loaded a new bolt Buddy stepped before him and banged on his chest, causing his body to suddenly be covered in a strange crystalline frost. It was as if he was challenging them to come after him. Meanwhile Pylia was right behind you, summoning both a holy fire and her silver sword from above to strike down one of the trogs, doing considerable damage.

With the element of surprise on your side your group was able to do some considerable damage, and you were able to show the Sewer Dragons that you were on their side. Shortfang ran northward to fire another bolt at a northmost trog, landing right into the beast's calf and doing some debilitating damage. But then the northern swarm of trogs all leapt onto the giant crocodile, ripping chunks of flesk and skin out with their jowls and talons. While one of these creatures would be no match for such a beast, a whole swarm of them was able to do some serious damage, causing the crocodile's blood to join the massive puddle of trog gore. Despite this scene of carnage Buddy trudged through the muck towards the midst of the melee, his axe ready to cleave down any trog that was fool enough to face him.

The kobolds, despite being heavily outnumbered, felt confident thanks to the presence of both their Sewer Dragons and the new reinforcements, slinging stones and slashing swords at the trogs to quickly cull their numbers. The crocodiles had no problem slaying the trogs either, even the one that was very bloodied, as they used their mighty maws to rip apart the trogs, or crushed them underneath the force of their massive tails. Many trogs went down in the ensuing counter attack but even after losing so many of their own these trogs knew no fear and continued to attack, with the long trog fighting the southern crocodile jumping onto it's hind leg, biting and ripping flesh out. Pylia moved her sword to try and cut the creature down, summoning her holy fire to smite it as well, though the creature was determined to say the least.

Very quickly the swarm of trogs were cut down, however there was no time to celebrate. You could hear more screeching and the rush of footsteps in the distance, and you wouldn't need magic to know that the reinforcements coming were not more kobolds.
