You rapidly cross the swampy muck, fortunately not getting any of it in your boots as your smashed your staff right across the neck of the trog as it was bucked off by the crocodile. The blow snapped it's neck, but you didn't lose any momentum as you hopped out of the way of the falling corpse, kicking the other trog hanging onto the crocodile with a heel kick. But just as you did so, you'd hear the loud cacophony of monstrous screeching hit the hall. More trogs have arrived, which you can barely make out in the dim lantern light. "More trogs! Get ready everyone!" Shortfang shouted out as he lined up a shot on the trog hanging off the crocodile, shooting a bolt right into it's chest and causing it to fall off. As Shortfang dropped his crossbow and drew out his shortsword he shouted something in draconic which was directed to the kobolds. Good thing too, as the crocodile looked like it was about to take a bite out of you before the kobold riding him managed to direct him to the trogs coming from the other hall. The other kobolds began to scramble away from the center as they also heard and went to respond to the trogs coming from the eastern halls.

Meanwhile Buddy walked right past you towards the last trog in this immediate vicinity. The creature, seeing him, lunged out and tried to attack him. However Buddy simply extended his hand and caught the lizardling in midair, and with a quick twist and a crush snapped the neck to the trog before tossing him onto the ground and walking back towards the swampy area, as he could hear trogs coming from behind. Pylia also heard the trogs coming and ran up to stand alongside Shortfang, calling for her sword to come closer. The silver blade flew right past you, avoiding you even, as it began to spin rapidly like some sort of deadly buzz saw. Pylia readied herself as she could hear the trogs coming. "Get ready! They're coming!"

Away from the group and barely legible through the dim glow of your lantern, you could see more trogs arrive, though due to their distance and having a giant crocodile blocking your line of sight, all you could hear where the panicked screams of the kobolds as the treacherous roars of the trogs running through the muck or climbing over the barricades.
